(Tootie's PoV)

Tootie was on cloud nine as they walked out of the restaurant. It had been an almost perfect dinner, with the exception that she noticed Timmy had a hard time concentrating on his meal. Honestly in her eyes that only added to the perfectness of the dinner, she only wondered if he felt the same way. Was it because he couldn't keep his eyes off her, like she hoped. Or could it have been that he just didn't want to be out in public, and didn't want to say anything since he had asked her. She wanted to ask, if she had still been MysticFae talking with Tormented, she would have. But it was different talking with Timmy, and him knowing who she was. She had always expected the worse when she found out who he was, she knew the day would come when he'd find out who she was. But this... she never expected him to ask her out on a date.

She stood next to Timmy as he paid for the tickets for the zombie movie they both would enjoy. While she liked the romantic movies, she also was fond of horror movies, she couldn't remember if she liked them, or if she started liking them because Timmy did. Either way they both would enjoy this movie. Before yesterday all of this had only happened in her dreams. She had thought about it a lot in the past twenty-four hours, she had thought... maybe with time, Timmy would have asked her out to lunch as friends, or maybe dinner, as friends. But never would she have thought to be taken out to dinner and a movie, in a date setting. Obviously Timmy really didn't know what he was doing, like her, this was probably his first real date, she thought as they walked into the theater.

"I thought there would be more people..." Timmy said quietly as they took their seats, she looked around and was almost shocked. This theater was empty, except for a hand full of people scattered about. And no one with in several seats from where they were.

"That's good right?" She asked turning her head to look at Timmy in the dim lights, as he continued to look around. Timmy had almost become agoraphobic since something in his childhood had changed. She wasn't sure what it was, only that it had a big impact on his life, that distanced him from everyone.

Timmy just nodded as the lights in the theater turned down, and for a moment it seemed like nothing but the sound of his breathing, and hear heart beating faster, existed. Then the screen lit up and the normal sound check played over the speakers. And as the previews played she couldn't help but wonder still what had pushed the boy she loved into the little box he lived in. She had known almost everything there was to know about Timmy when they were younger, and for the life of her, she couldn't think about anything that had changed. Not anything that would have caused him to basicly close himself off. Then she shook her head, as the words 'Feature Presentation' appeared on the screen. She wouldn't ruin her first real date, by wondering. She was just going to enjoy it.

About half way through the movie she was glad that this theater for this show was almost empty. If it had of been full of people, she was sure there would have been people telling her to be quiet, when she squeaked or jumped when something happened on the screen had scared her. She liked horror movies, because she liked being afraid... only problem was, that in your own house you can turn the lights on and the movie isn't quite as scary... here not so much. Another terrifying scene, and another squeak from her that no one said anything, but she couldn't help but feel ashamed. She was fifteen now, she shouldn't be jumping because of a movie. She could only imagine what Timmy was thinking about her... and those thoughts, just brought tears to her eyes, and now she was really glad she wore he glasses and not her contacts. She looked over at Timmy, he wasn't watching the movie, he was looking down at the floor. His hands in his lap... maybe he was embarrassed. She felt a tear run down her cheek, then another, then more that she couldn't stop. I ruined the whole thing, she thought.

"I'm sorry." she said her voice was soft, and very quiet, but it seemed to bring him out of what ever he was thinking, and look right as her. He looked like he was trying to figure out what he was supposed to do.

"I thought there would be more people..." Timmy said quietly as they took their seats. I thought there would be more people for this movie... zombies seemed to be the big thing now, he thought to himself

"That's good right?" Tootie's voice, had his attention back to her, where it had been most of the night. He couldn't believe how he had never noticed this side of her before. She was beautiful... maybe it was something that had always been there, and he had been too stupid to notice before. Either way he noticed now, and he wasn't entirely sure what he was supposed to do, if he was supposed to do anything at all. He just nodded to answer her question.

Something seemed to be on Tootie's mind as he watched the previews, but mostly looking at her out of the corner of his eye. She seemed to be deep in thought, and didn't seem to notice anything that was going on. After a few minutes, she shook her head, and seemed to focus on the movie. Through out the movie, there were little whimpers coming from Tootie... He thought she said she liked horror movies... why was she so scared? However the first squeak made him jump, he wasn't expecting that. He wanted to say something to her... let her know it was alright, and that it was just a movie. But he wasn't sure what to say, he tired a couple of times. Each time resulted in lack of figuring out what to say.

When he saw the first tear run down her cheek, he stiffened up a bit, Now he was sure he didn't know what he should do. He put his hands in his lap and just looked at the floor. Come on... say something... anything, he mind said to him. He hear her, but it was very soft, he almost didn't... but it was enough to bring him out of his own mind, "I'm sorry," He looked up at her, even in next to no light, he could see that her eyes were turning red. She started to get up to leave, and he reached out and grabbed her arm... he didn't want her to go. He wasn't sure why he didn't want her to go, but he wanted her to stay with him. Maybe it was because he hadn't noticed her like he had started to now... maybe it was because he didn't want her to run off crying. But he did know, he wanted to know what was wrong. When she tried to pull away form him he stood up, if she was leaving he was too. Where is this coming from, he asked himself.

"Come on," He put his arm around her. The first time he'd initiated physical contact with her that he could remember, aside from taking her hand to go to dinner. But that wasn't the same as this... She just looked up at him confused... "It was getting kinda boring..."

"Okay." he felt her relax some under the arm that was over her shoulder... he wondered if they looked like a couple as they walked out of the movie, the usher told them to make sure they had their stub to get back in, Timmy ignored him, he wasn't planning on coming back today.

"Okay... what's wrong Tootie?" Timmy asked once they were outside, It had gotten cooler outside since he had arrived for his date with Tootie. Date with Tootie, those words even sound foreign in my head, he thought. But he wanted to know what was wrong.

"I'm sorry I-I ruined the movie... I got scared... and I know I m-must have embarrassed you." The tears started again, and her body shook sightly as she tried not to sob... he wasn't sure what was going through her mind. But right now he didn't like it, but wasn't sure why. Because she's upset idiot, his mind chimed in.

"Why didn't you just say something, we could have left." Timmy asked pulling her closer to him, he wasn't sure if she was shaking more because of her crying, or because of the temperature outside. He wished he had a jacket to give her to wear, holding her closer to him was making him feel strange. This was not at all like him. It could be... his mind echoed, which he ignored, because it hadn't given him much help today. And now he needed it the most. Tootie stiffened up at first being pulled close to him, he wasn't sure what she was thinking, whatever it was seemed to have faded away as she melted into his arms. Now what was he supposed to do? This was supposed to be just... what? This wasn't casual, it wasn't normal... not for you, his mind snapped. In fact none of this is normal, normally you wouldn't have even left your room at all today, it continued.

Then why was he here? Because you asked her out on a date, his mind continued as Tootie buried her face into his chest. Which each passing second his mind wasn't helping him, was making it worse. Did Tootie still have all those feelings she had about him when she was younger... Oh course she did, he thought, he had heard her on the phone when he asked her out... then again when he called it a date when she teased him. Each moment this continued the more she would think... no he couldn't be. He barely left his room, he had come here with Tootie, because he was lonely. What if she hated him if he couldn't leave his house... he'd lose the only friend he really had. He didn't want to lose her, even now with her this close to him, he started to breathe faster. His clothing started to feel tighter, then he started to sweat even though it was cool. His mind was racing, he had started this... he kept worrying himself about what could happen, when he should have been thinking what would happen if he pushed himself. He was prone to anxiety attacks when he worried too much, he was lucky no one but his parents had ever witnessed it... well until now that is.

His backed away, he was looking around, hoping no one was out here... they were still watching their movies. His hand went to the collar of his shirt pulling it a way as he started gasping for air. He couldn't breathe, he knew what was next. It always came next... he never remember it until right before it happened, right as the world around him started to become hazy, during these short seconds, when his mind started shutting down he was almost able to think clearly. Before his eyes shut, his last sight was Tootie... she had looked so beautiful tonight. Maybe that's why he had forgotten to take the anxiety medication after eating. But now she just looked afraid... then she moved out of view as he felt like he was falling then darkness.

When his eyes opened he knew what to expect, paramedics were around him as he fought to sit up... unfortunately so were a crowd of people, he assumed had gathered to see the 'show' outside, instead of the ones they paid for inside. The paramedics tried to keep him down, but he fought against them, pulling the bottle of pills out of his pocket. The look on the paramedic's face softened some, and allowed him to get up. Timmy was completely embarrassed, he didn't want to say what had happened aloud. To many people that would laugh at him, he couldn't even handle a date, and a almost hug without freaking out, literally. The paramedic helped him up, and he looked around... it took him a moment to find her. He expected her with the crowd, but she was closer to him, just behind the other paramedic. She looked so small, and too scared to move. He just looked away and started home... she worried about embarrassing him tonight, but it turned out the other way around.

(Tootie PoV)

She was cold, and crying... she was so embarrassed about what happened in the theater, that when Timmy pulled her close, she didn't know what was going on at first. It took her mind a few moments to register what was going on. But after she figured it out, it didn't take long for her entire being accepted it. She felt like she was melting into him, as she buried her face into his chest. He sure smells good, she thought as she smiled. Maybe he wasn't embarrassed. Maybe he felt the same way about her now, like she always felt about him. There were a few times when he just knew her as MysticFae, that she thought he might be developing feelings for her... maybe he was now associating those feelings with who she really was.

Her face being buried in his chest, she noticed his breathing quicken heard his heart beating faster and faster. At first she thought maybe he was just excited, but then it started beating much faster. Then it was gone, he backed out of her arms. The hand that had just been on her shoulder, was now pulling the collar of his shirt... she stood there horrified... she didn't know what was happening. His body jerked violently, as he fought to breathe, but he didn't. Even though it was only a few seconds, it felt like hours watching him. She wanted to help, but she couldn't move. Then he stopped jerking, and was looking right at her. His eyes started closing, and he started falling back. She tried to make it to him before he hit the ground... but only made it in time to keep his head from hitting the sidewalk.

"Someone help!" She screamed as she tried to rouse Timmy. Then he took a breath, and another... and another. He was breathing again, his entire body relaxed. Someone that worked in the movie theater had come out, a cellphone pressed against her ear. Tootie wasn't sure if the girl had heard her yell, or saw him fall. She really didn't care right now, as long as help was on the way. She didn't know when she started crying again, she didn't remember stopping from before. When she was asked questions about him, she answered in a mute voice while just looking at him, his name, his age, he was breathing... no she didn't know if he was on medication, and no she didn't know what happened.

It felt like hours had passed, until the ambulance arrived, and the paramedic's moved her to the side and started checking his vitals. Two were checking him out while a third was wheeling the stretcher out, when Timmy started sitting up. One of the paramedics tried pushing him back down, until Timmy pulled out a pill bottle showing it to the man. The paramedic didn't fight anymore, he helped Timmy up. Tootie watched him closely... to afraid to go over to him. He was taller than her... bigger than her... but for some reason in her mind he seemed so fragile... she wanted to run to him hug him, but she was afraid he'd break. Then he looked right at her... he looked ashamed... she wanted to say something but her mouth wouldn't work, before she had a chance to force the words out, he started walking away. By the time she got her legs working, and she ran after him after he turned around the side of the mall, but when she got there he was no where to be seen.
