Hey guys! I started a new fic that really grabbed my attention for the longest time. It became as popular as this story at only 3K words and with only a week, so it became my main priority. But seeing as how I can't just let this story die I've decided to continue it. Hopefully someone out there will read it, seeing as how I doubt any of the original readers still remember this story.

"Well, here we are madame."
"I feel severely underdressed."
"Well, someone has to take the effort to make this relationship romantic, seeing as I dressed up I didn't expect you to. Don't worry Kuo, it's just lunch."
"Alright, and bullcrap you dressed up. Wearing a black, sleeveless t-shirt and ditching the backup and amp doesn't count!"
"I think it does, seeing as I deviated from the standard uniform. Unlike you…" Cole said as he held open the door to the Olive Garden. "… by the way, while I totally dig it, don't you think the lacy top is a little inappropriate? I mean, you're an ice princess now to most of the little kids in New Marais. Is that the kind of standards you want to make to for your admirers?"
"Cole McGrath! I've always been a conservative dresser and I feel that this attire is appropriate. And don't you dare bring up admirers. I've more than been tempted to freeze a woman or two who were obviously ogling you. Even now, you wear tight shirts that show off you physique and ignore the stares!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Cole said, attempting to keep a straight face as his façade was seen through. Truth be told he rather liked the ogling, even if no one could ever replace Trish.
"Sir, your seats are this way." Said a perky blonde in uniform with what most men would say was a melting smile full of dazzling teeth. Cole gave her a quick look and then grinned, much to Kuo's dismay. He proceeded to turn to her and wink mischievously, before setting off on a short power walk as to avoid being turned into a Popsicle.
Kuo followed the duo until Ms. Deadman walking stopped next to a booth.
"I'm sorry. This is all we have, hardly date appropriate, but's it's been a busy day. You don't mind do you?" She said, the lighting making it look like she was only looking at Cole while Kuo know that was ridiculous; she was obviously asking both of them.
The Electric Man took a seat in the booth and put his hands on table top, pushing himself up against the wall. Kuo sat down on the other side.
"I think we'll be just fine."
The waitress put her hands down, on top of Cole's.
It's a coincidence. Kuo thought.
She leaned over towards him. Her uniform's one undone button had no effect on her shirt until she leaned forward.
I'm sure she isn't aware. Kuo reasoned.
"You see anything you'd like?" The platinum blonde asked.
You haven't even handed us menus!
Before Kuo could do something she would probably, eventually grow to regret, Cole looked the blonde beauty in the eye, leaned forward, Kuo's heart lurched as it seemed he intended to kiss the waitress, and he…

"… by the way, while I totally dig it, don't you think the lacy top is a little inappropriate? I mean, you're an ice princess now to most of the little kids in New Marais. Is that the kind of standards you want to make to for your admirers?" Cole was just teasing. God, I hope she doesn't change anything. Cole thought with a tinge of regret if Kuo decided to cover up a bit more. He was busy debating when he became such a dumbass when the peppy waitress suddenly jumped into his peripheral vision.
Eh, she's hot, but she's no Kuo. How can she even think to compare? I guess the bullies of High School always outshined the prettier timid girls in High School, I'm guessing the same rules have always applied for her. Maybe If I play my cards right. Cole found himself droning and toke a quick look at the girl. Twenty two, tops. He gave her a grin, hoping no one would notice it was a bit forced, before looking back at Kuo and winking, beginning his devious plan. Cole had never been very romantic. That too seemed to change when he gained his powers. He knew it was just the renewed sense of confidence, but boy did it work wonders. When they finally got to their seats, he found he had missed what the waitress had told him and just sat down, immediately sliding down into the seat and having to push himself back up.
Well, this sucks. "I think we'll be just fine." Cole had to resist the urge to lift his eyebrow when the courageous waitress * I rhymed!* put her hand on top of this. Wow, at least she's better at showing people what she wants. Cole almost laughed.
"You see anything you'd like?" She asked as she leaned forward, tempting Cole to look into the now obvious cleavage the uniform had managed to hide. With a grin, he leaned forward towards her, his breathe hitting the side of her face with his just inches next to hers, slowly moving towards her lips. Seconds before contact he leans to her right, obstructing his view of Kuo, and whispers in her ear.
"That powerhouse of a woman that you've practically ignored over there has got this really kinky super power gig going for her and it's really, really rocking my world. And if you keep this up she'll rock your world for the very short existence she'll allow you to live."
The waitress paled, looking over at Kuo for the first time and realizing that the woman herself was as pale as her and literally had frost coming off her arms.
"I'll come back f- for your –orders soon! S-sir, ma-ma'm." The terrified waitress squeaked before scampering off to the kitchen.
"What did you say?" Kuo asked, relieved that Cole hadn't done the unthinkable.
"Oh, nothing. I just asked her if she wanted to meet up for a threesome later." Cole said, hoping to keep up the impression of an asshole.
Kuo kicked him, before blushing, looking down and muttering, just barely loud enough for him to hear, "so it's rocking your world eh?"
