Day 6: First Date
You ever have one of those moments in your life where everything is pure chaos and anarchy? You have no idea how it got here, but somehow it did. And, you love it!
That's where Marco currently found himself. He looked over to see his date, Hekapoo, laughing her ass off at the craziness the night had been.
"I can't believe that worked," Hekapoo said breathlessly as she sucked in oxygen.
"I know," Marco replied in agreement. "Who would have thought that guy would move in time to avoid getting stabbed by you and your scissors blade would break."
"Luckily, though there was just enough magic left for a final jump here. Speaking, of here, though, where is here?"
The couple slowly stood up and looked around; judging by the trash cans, lights, and fences they were in an alley of some kind. The bigger question was, where was this alley, by the sounds around them it was a rather large city. Deciding to get a better look at their surroundings the couple headed towards the alley's entrance and looked around.
It didn't take Marco long to figure out where they were. "Okay…," Marco began shakily. "hopefully, this is a dream and I'm just asleep somewhere or this is really and that the freaking Eiffel Tower!" He finished in a panic.
"What's that?" Hekapoo asked curiously, unused to Earth architecture.
"The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower located in Paris… France," Marco explained. "You took us half way around the world and we have no way back."
"Well, sorry!" she shot back. "I didn't really have time to think when I made the portal. I was just thinking somewhere safe for my love," she finished blushing slightly.
Marco's cheeks reddened in kind to what she had said. "Well, Paris is the City of Love. Let's see if we can get something to eat."
A while later the young couple where sitting at a night café trying to come up with a plan.
"Okay, so how do we explain this to everyone?" Hekapoo asked before taking a bite of her sandwich.
"The date started normal, we had only been at Oskar's party for ten minutes before someone shouted about the police," Marco began. "In a panic, everyone ran and after running we looked to see that no one was chasing us. Somehow we ended up with a bottle of the much bragged about drink, Devil's Cut. Curious about what was so special about it, we each had a cup. Then, we awoke two and a half hours later in the honeymoon suite of Caesars Palace on top of five million dollars wearing wedding rings and holding a marriage license."
The two pause for a moment to look at the gold rings on their own left ring fingers.
"Somehow the Bratva get involved. Luckily, those brothers in that Impala showed up."
"Those idiots threw salt on me, not that lucky," Hekapoo commented.
"Then, we end up in Oregon when that last Bratva guy grabbed your scissors. However, that crazy guy in the duster was shooting at us. You took a stab at him and one of the blades broke, but we were fortunate and made a portal to here."
The two sat and let the recap of their date sink in.
"All-in-all, this really isn't that bad for a first date." Marco said breaking the silence.
"How do you figure that?"
"We aren't dead, for one thing. Even though it's been a crazy roller-coaster these past six of hours, I'm glad to have spent it with you."
"Thanks, Diaz."
"Marco?" a voice behind him called out.
Marco and Hekapoo turned to see Marco's old friend Ferguson.
"I thought that was you," He exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
After a lengthy story, with inputs from Hekapoo, Marco ended his tale of arriving in Paris, saying, "And now we're stuck here, with no way back."
"No problem, man. You two can come back with my folks and I," Ferguson exclaimed.
"We wouldn't be imposing?" Hekapoo replied.
"Nah. In fact, our plane leaves in a few hours. Just hop on with us and one flight later we'll be back in Cali."
A few hours later, Marco and Hekapoo were flying high, and as the metal craft flew through the air Hekapoo turned to Marco and said, "Marco, remember how you said you were glad to have spent this with me?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm glad too."
