Chapter 8

"The Date"

"Sorry.. I know that we just met like a few days ago. This is probably all too fast. Just forget what I-", Storm was interrupted when I leaned in and kissed him, and he kissed back.

I broke away from the kiss though. "I um.. love you too..", I was happy yet nervous. My face started to turn red. "So what are we now then?", I was trying to think about what we do from here on out.

"Well.. do you want to go on a date with me tomorrow?", Storm asked. He looked confident now. I guess ice wizards know how to keep their cool.

"S-Sure..", I agreed.

"Well then I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6:30.", he grinned.

"Okay then! Bye, I probably gotta head home because of my dad."

I couldn't help but smile all the way back to my house, but I frowned when I thought about how my dad would react: 'WHAT?!' xD Still was a funny thought though.

"Hi dad!", I was basically skipping inside.

"Why are you so happy?", Dad lowered an eyebrow.

"If I tell you, do you promise not to yell and get mad."

"Sure.", I felt like he just said that, so I would tell him though.

"I had my first kiss and I'm going on a date tomorrow."

"Who kissed you and who's going on a date with you?!"

"This is the part where you get mad.."

"It better not be who I think it is.."

".. Storm."

"THAT'S IT! I'M GOING TO STRIPPER'S HOUSE!", I was trying to hold on to dad. Good thing I'm a dragon slayer or else I would've gotten burned from the fire engulfing him.

"You woke me up -.-", Luna and Happy both walked to where we where.

"CAN YOU HELP ME YOU TWO?!", I yelled.

"I-I think w-we'll be f-fine right h-here!", they both yelled at the same time.

"I'll make mom call up Erza if you keep doing this every time I mention something about Storm!", I yelled.

"BUT HE FUCKING KISSED YOU! THAT BASTARD AND HIS DAD ARE GONNA PAY!"

"Wait.. Storm kissed Nashi?!", Luna was wide eyed.

"YEAH! So now do you see why I need help Luna?! -_-", I yelled at him.

"Y-Yeah.. I'll go get Mom.", he woke Mom up.

"Natsu.. what are you mad about again?!", Mom yelled.

Dad gulped and his flames went down, "Nothing Lucy.."

"I told Dad that Storm kissed me and asked me on a date tomorrow.", I explained briefly.

"Wait.. he what?!"

"Please don't be like Dad now Mom.."

"No, I'm not mad. I'm happy for you.", she smiled and went over to hug me.

"How is this good?!", Dad yelled.

"Why can't you just be happy for her Natsu.", she broke from the hug and put her hands on her hips.

"Because now I'll have to see Stripper more!"

"I think it's more than that.", what does Mom mean?

"What..?", Dad was just as confused as I was.

"You don't want to see Nashi grow up, Natsu. Well, check the time because we're getting older too.", Mom explained. Was what she said.. true?

"It's not fair..", Dad started to pout. I guess Mom was right. Mom was the only person who seemed to understand him.

"Dad.. is she right?", I asked. He just nodded his head slowly.

"Sorry to break the moment, but... NASHI KISSED SOMEONE?! I thought that would never happen until she turned 30 or something. No offense."

"RUDE!", I slapped him across his face.

"What's going on.. Soupy kissed someone?", Nalu walked into the room.

"Great, next the whole universe is going to know.", Nalu, even if she doesn't have friends in real life, is internet famous so she could spread things like wild fire.

"Soupy.. who was it?"

"None of your business."

"Storm.", everyone, but me, said.

"Thanks a lot."

"I have to go do something.", and before I could say anything, she was already in her room.

I trudged to my room thinking about what I should wear.. I don't know if it's fancy or not. DAMNIT! I should've asked him. ;-; Sadness..

I woke up to the smell of eggs, toast, and bacon. I must've fell asleep when I was thinking, but I was so sad today was Saturday because I couldn't see Storm until the date. I quickly thought about what I was trying to decide yesterday and started texting Storm.

Nashi: I forgot to ask, what are we doing for the date.

Storm: It's a surprise ;)

Nashi: Could you at least tell me what I should wear?

Storm: Something casual I guess.

I was glad it wasn't fancy because I hated dresses. I'm not sure why though.. I quickly remembered the smell coming from the kitchen!

I rushed downstairs and saw Mom cooking.

"Hi Nashi."

"Hey. I see Dad and Luna aren't here yet.", YES! FINALLY THEY WEREN'T HOGGING ALL THE FOOD!

"They're still sleeping. Go ahead and eat before they come.", Mom warned me.

"Course.", I hurriedly got my plate of scrambled eggs, buttered toast, and delicious bacon. I then sat down and started to eat like I haven't eaten for days. Mom makes the best food.

"I want a rematch at the food eat off", Dad started yelling to Luna.

"Whatever, I'm going to win as always though.", Luna started snickering as Dad was explaining how he was going "easy" on him.

"I'm glad I ate before they came.", I said.

"You're just jealous because you would lose again us.", they both yelled.

"Is that a challenge I here?", I yelled out.

"Maybe it is N!", Luna yelled.

"When Nashi gets involved this never ends well!", Mom yelled.

"The first person to eat all of their food wins, okay? Lucy or Mom, whatever you call her, will be referee.", Dad explained. Mom placed three plates in front of us.

"3... 2... 1!", Mom yelled and as soon as she said 1, I started shoving food down my throat. I decided not to focus my attention to Luna or Dad because I've lost by doing that in the past. Before I knew it, I finished!

"Looks like Nashi won as always.", Mom declared.

"We just went easy on her.", Luna and Dad both said. I just rolled my eyes and punched them in the nose.

"Yeah.. I'm sure you did.", I went to my room and started to listen to music.

"Soupy! Open up!", I heard Nalu yell. I knew that, if I didn't let her in, then she would find a way in. I trudged over to the door and opened it.

"What do you want Nalu?", I said annoyed.

"I want to say sorry.", her saying sorry?! What kind of day is this?!

"Wait.. what?", I think my ears must've stopped working because of the yelling from dad.

"I'm sorry for throwing your computer out the window."

"Something's up.. you don't say sorry."

"LOOK! I'M TRYING TO BE A BETTER SISTER! This is hard for me.. I can hear you when you talk about me..", I felt guilty.. wait.. I shouldn't! She is a bad sister! This is a trick.. right?

"Where is Nalu and what have you done?"

"Nalu's right here and she's trying to say sorry."

"I'm sorry.. I can't believe you.", I was about to close the door, but she kept it open.

"Here..", she handed me a macbook. It looked brand-new.

"I-Is this f-for me?", I was shocked.

"Yes..", she turned around and headed for her door, but I held on to her wrist. I grabbed her and hugged her.

"Thank you.", I whispered in her ears. Maybe she really was trying to be a better sister. I saw a glance at her and her eyes were wet from tears. I think what Luna said about her was true: she just doesn't know how to be nice. It looks like she's learning now though.

(Sweet sister moment... I wish I had a sister ;-;)

It was 6:28. Almost time for the date. I picked out a white and pink sweater with a black undershirt. I also picked out a black mini skirt with black converse. I thought it was a great outfit.

Ding Dong

I excitedly rushed to the front door and opened it. It was Storm and he was wearing casual clothes too. It was just a t-shirt and some jeans. He grabbed my wrist and ran out.

"So where are we going?", I asked smiling.

"I thought we'd go to the park.", he smiled back at me.

When we got to the park, he laid on the grass.

"I remember when we snuck out to get over here.", I said.

"And you kept complaining about jumping from a window.", he started laughing.

"You know I'm scared of heights!", I pouted.

"Yeah, but I caught you didn't I?", right then I heard a voice like Dad's...

"Um.. Nash.. you okay?", Storm asked me.

"Come out Dad.", I yelled out.

I then saw Dad crawl out of the bushes along with Luna.

"Hi Nashi..", Dad started saying.

"Luna.. YOU TOO?!", I yelled.

"Dad kinda bribed me..", Luna explained.

"Seriously Dad?", I yelled.

"..."

"Go home Dad -_- If you don't this will be the last day you live.", I did my evil eyes. I loved that trick.

"Uh.. Lets go Luna!", they both ran away, but then I saw Storm laughing.

"You really are cute when you're mad.", he kept laughing.

"Whatever."

"Wait.. If my dad was listening to us, didn't he hear about us sneaking out.", I started freaking out.

"Well, he probably forgot about as soon as you used those evil eyes."

"Hopefully."

"Do you like having the date here? I mean.. I guess it isn't though.."

"I love it. I like it being nice and peaceful, but with my family it's kinda hard to do.", I giggled.

He put his arm around me and sighed in relief, "Good to know."

"It's weird how I've basically only known you for 2 weeks and it feels like forever."

"Yeah.. I feel that way too. It's strange.", maybe it's just a special connection.. who knows?

You could see the sun starting to set, it had beautiful colors of yellow, orange, and pink.

"The sunset is so beautiful."

"The only thing I see that's beautiful, is you.", Storm grinned.

"You are really cheesy, do you know that?", I started to laugh.

"Yeah yeah.. I still have a lot more cheesy lines to say."

At this point, you could see the stars.

"Like what?"

"You are like a star.. You shine bright.", I started to blush.

"Nooo! You can't start blushing now! I haven't even gotten to the good ones!", I just laughed as he started to say the cheesiest things.

"You look like you're going to explode with all that red!, Storm continued to laugh.

"Well-", Storm leaned and kissed me and I kissed back, it was quite long though. Soon we had to break away to catch some air.

"We should probably go home, it's 10:00.", Storm said.

"My Dad's going to asked me so many questions!", I was getting tired just thinking about it..

"Stay awake!", he started laugh but then grabbed my wrist and rushed me home.

"Well thanks for the date. It was fun.", I smiled.

"No problem.", he kissed my forehead and sprinted home.

"Nashi, how was it?", Dad asked.

"Good!", I smiled.

"I heard you guys talk about sneaking out.."

"Oh, it's nothing.."

"Is it?"

"Nah.."

He walked me upstairs and into my room then opened the window.

"Tell me."

I gulped. I think I could've filled a whole bucket with my sweat.

"I-It's nothing.."

He brought me closer and closer to the window..

"FINE! Storm and I snuck out a few days ago. Happy now?!"

"Whose idea was it?!"

"Both of ours."

"You're grounded for a week."

"Do I need to tell mom about you spying on me?"

"Fine.. only for 3 days."

"Thanks! You're the best.", I hugged Dad.

"I know.", he grinned. He walked out of my room and I ready to sleep.

That was fun..

Thanks for reading!
