Ali sat down at the table with her date Brock.

"You know Lana, it is strange, I have never taken a liking to someone so fast" He said to her.

Her eyes widened,

She had just sat down with him and he already liked her.

'This guy must be desperate' she thought to herself.

"My name is Aliana," She told him.

"That's what I said"

'God this guy is annoying,' Ali thought to herself.

"See, I've always thought of myself a bit of a stud, but I think I might be willing to settle down with the right lady" His voice turned husky.

"Oh, and who would that be?" She asked slightly scared.

"Lana darling, I really like you, and this has never happened to me before, "He told her standing up.

Ali stood up as well.

"What are you talking about? How can you like me, you don't even remember my damn name," She asked trying not to scream.

"Quiet now" He put his finger over her lips, "Your eyes talk for you"

"I wish my eyes would shut up," She mumbled out.

She put her keys down and clicked her messages.

"You have 3messages" The thing spoke.

"Wow, it's been the whole day and only three messages," She sighed out. She walked to the fridge.

"Message one"

"Hey darling, it's mummy, just wondering if you're still coming around on Saturday, well call back when you get home"

"Oh damn, I forgot about mum" Ali took out a bottle of water.

"Message two"

"Hey it's Vanessa from Soul-Mate dating service, we have a opening date for you, if you'll take it, Sea Palace, 6:30. Call me ok"

"Sea Palace, Oh I hate all that fish, they stink and they have the gross sauce," She said taking a sip.

"Message three"

"Hey girl, It's Bella, We still on for tomorrow, My boy Brody is coming now, Don't worry girl, you'll find the right man out there, there's a lot of fish in the sea, well call me back when you get this"

Ali sighed, "Well I own a fish tank, and all of the fish have already died" She placed the drink on her counter and picked up her cat.

"End of messages"

"What do you think Fluffy, another Date, or should I just give up" She asked her cat.

Her cat meowed.

"You always know best" She smiled and placed her cat on the floor.

"Well, it couldn't hurt trying again, "She sighed dialing the number.

"Hello, you have dialed 1800-Soul-Mate, How may I help you?" The operator asked.

"Will I be able to talk to Miss. Vanessa?" Ali asked.

"Oh yes, who may I ask is speaking?" The operator asked.

"Soul-Mate-049 " She answered.

The operator took a moment before speaking.

"Oh, Miss. Aliana Mitsuraki, yes Miss. Vanessa is expecting you, I'll just transfer your call" The operator said.

There was a moment of silence.

"Oh yes Aliana, nice of you to call, so have you decided if you are taking this date?" Vanessa asked.

"Oh of course, I don't plan on giving up until I catch one" Ali said determined on finding the right guy for her.

"Well this one might tickle your funny bone. You are meeting Seto Kaiba for dinner" As Vanessa said his name, Ali's eyes widened.

'No way, Mr. Seto Kaiba, She's gotta be kidding, why would he set up a date, and why me, I would think he would want a hot girl, not a tubby no boobs girl' Ali said to herself.

"So, you mean the person who owns Kaiba Corp, or maybe you mean a nice, kind Kaiba," Ali said freaking out.

Ali had never actually been out with someone like that, all she has had is desperate guys like Brock, or horny bastards like Alan and Kurt. Her usual dates.

Ali was pretty shy when it came to guys, though she's not afraid to tell them what she thinks, when it comes to hugs and kisses, she's never done it. She never been in a relationship long enough to kiss or hug them.

That is why she became a Soul-Mate dater. She gets all dressed up, does her hair and everything for one night with a man on a date. Nothing usually happens, they talk, she does a little giggle, he laughs, they eat, they get to their cars, say their good byes and then it's home.

It pays well, she gets about $250 a date and extra when they ask her back to their place.

Ali wasn't a really skinny girl, but she wasn't self-confident. She loved her body because most of her family either can just fit through a door, or can't even fit through a normal size door. Ali wasn't like that; she was the normal size for a woman who had just turned 18.

"Well I do not know if there is another Seto Kaiba" Vanessa said with a blank voice.

"Well why not Libby or Shelby?" Ali asked, Libby and Shelby were the Soul-mate dating services pride and joy; they were beautiful, skinny, and big breasted. Everything a guy would want. They also pretended to be clueless, and their best talents on a date, is making the guys feel sorry for them.

There 4 words that always get the guys worried about them

'I'm just so fat' was one of the favourites, and then there was.

'My boobs are small'

'But what these girls do not get, IS THAT I AM FACED WITH THAT EVERYDAY, FROM GUYS AND LITTLE KIDS x(' Ali's mind screamed at her.

"Because Kaiba asked for specific things, and your profile was perfect. Come on Aliana, this is the break you have been looking for, Seto Kaiba, one of the most cold men people have met, "Vanessa said.

"Oh, and that sums it up, I am going on a date with a cold man, hurrah" Ali said sarcastically.

"Great, He'll be please" She chirped

"WHAT, WAIT-" She hung up.

Ali stood their gob smacked.

She was going to go on a date with a man with a superior snobbish attitude.

Even though Ali had never met Seto Kaiba, she had a feeling that the whole date was going to go down the sink, not only was Aliana not popular with the men, She tends to get very clumsy and stutter when she's embarrassed and shy.

"GGGAAAAHHHHH, I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT," She screamed throwing herself on the couch.

She started shaking her head against the cushion,

"I might as well suffocate myself now," she sobbed out.

She wouldn't matter if it were your garden variety male, But Mr. Seto Kaiba, CEO of the well-known company Kaiba. Corp.

"I'm going to make a fool out of myself, and Mr. Seto is going to laugh it up" Tears ran down her face.

Aliana did not go well with important people; she once sat 2 seats away from the person who made walky-talkies. When she went to get off, she tripped over his briefcase and made the papers inside go flying.

And then when she tried to bow saying she was sorry, she broke his nose as she came up. Never had she gone near someone important again.

'Well Mr. Seto, I hope your ready for me, because I am sure not ready for this date' She thought to herself.

'Hmm, wonder if I can change my name after this, and maybe move states,' She thought sitting up.

"Wonder if people would notice if I wore a paper bag over my head" Aliana said to herself, Her cat hissed.

"I know fluffy, but if I mess up this date, I will either wear the bag, or we will have to move" she sighed.

The cat meowed and jumped up on the armrest of the couch.

"This is unfair, I don't even just a choice, why would a guy who has everything want someone like me" Ali said patting her cat.

'Why would anyone want someone like me, I'm imperfect, just a shadow, a no body, no one would ever want me' Aliana thought to herself.

She laid herself on the couch and her cat jumped in her lap.

' Yeah, that's right, the only one that loves me for me is fluffy, and she can't even talk. People don't like people like me, People like people who are perfect, like Libby and Shelby' She closed her eyes and felt Fluffy purring.

'I'm just, just, I-, bad luck' she thought as she drifted into sleep.
