A happy blurb I wrote before the show aired tonight. It was totally awesome. :) Just think of this as how Crane's date really went. And Crane is so petty at the end of this fic. Lol I hope you catch what I'm talking about. Anyway, hope you enjoy. I tried to fix it. Changed the title by the way. It was originally called "Hibachi" on Tumblr. :)

Crane was enjoying his date at the Hibachi grill with Zoe. He even earned enough money tutoring history at the library to pay for Zoe and himself. He was amazed by the way the chef twisted and threw the cooking utensils in the air, the way the fire rose and expanded to the point where the heat flushed his cheeks. He played "20 Questions" with Zoe. They talked about history.

Yet, it wasn't right. His date with Zoe wasn't right. She didn't remind him to stop talking about the Founding Fathers so much. There was no explaining why they all sat around the grill with strangers. She didn't tell him why the chef threw pieces of shrimp in their mouths. Zoe wasn't even skeptical when he told her about "Fondle in the Forest."

When he finished all of his food, he excused himself to go to the restroom.
He took out his phone and made the call.

"Crane, you okay? How is your date?"

"I am well, Leftenant. I'm having a swell time. How is your evening?"

"Good. Danny invited me to dinner."

Crane twitched his fingers. "Really? I hope your date goes well. You deserve it, Leftenant."

"What's wrong, Crane?"

"Nothing is the matter, Leftenant. I just wanted to make sure you were alright."

He didn't hear anything from Abbie.

He sighed, "Zoe is an amazing woman, and we share common interests, but I don't think I shall continue pursuing her, Leftenant."

"Is it about Katrina?"

"Perhaps," he said.

He wasn't really entirely all that sure. He just knew he didn't want to be in an intimate relationship with Zoe.

"It's alright if you're not interested in her, Crane. I only suggested it because I thought it would make you happy. I wanted you to have another chance, a better experience. I didn't mean to push too hard."

"No. It is quite alright, Leftenant. Your intentions were honest. If anything, you've helped me realize that I would wish to remain friends with Miss Zoe. Thank you."

"It's no problem. So, what exactly is it?"

"I'm not sure. Perhaps it is because-"

"Hey, Crane, I don't mean to interrupt, but Danny just got here. Talk when we get home?"

He fixed his jacket. "Of course, Leftenant."

"Alright. And no more discussing the Founding Fathers. Pick something else. Anything. The weather. Baseball. I'm sure you two have much more in common besides the Constitution."

Crane chuckled. "I shall remain open to your admonition, Leftenant."

He heard her laugh. "Ok, Crane. Talk later. Have a good night. Tell Zoe hello."

"I hope your night goes accordingly as well."

He heard Abbie give a small chuckle before hanging up the phone. It was then that realized why this date wasn't right. Zoe wasn't Abbie.
