After a few more weeks, Master Finn finally accepted his feelings for Camille, gathered his courage, and asked her out to dinner. He was surprised and overjoyed when she said yes.
That afternoon, at JKP, RJ was startled from his thoughts by his father.
"Oh, hey, Dad. What's up?" the Wolf Master asked as he got his feet.
"I've got a problem."
"I'm listening."
Master Finn took a breath, for he was unsure about how RJ would react, and slowly let it out.
"Well, I'm going out to dinner with Camille tonight to a really nice restaurant, but I have nothing to wear, so I need your help."
RJ stared at his father.
"Sorry, my ears went into shock after 'I'm going out to dinner with Camille....'"
Master Finn sighed.
"We're going to a really nice restaurant, but I have nothing to wear, so I need your help."
RJ smiled and clapped his father on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll take Lily's shift, and she can take you shopping for new clothes, cause you need other clothes besides your Pai Zhuq robes."
After shopping for a long while, and buying several outfits, Master Finn and Lily returned to Jungle Karma Pizza. It was agreed that Camille would change at Master Finn's house, and Master Finn would change at JKP.
About an hour before he was to pick her up and take her to dinner, Master Finn excused himself from the kitchen, where he had been helping, and took a shower.
RJ let him change in his room.
"RJ, could you come give me a hand for a moment?"
"Sure thing, Dad."
RJ walked in and stopped when he saw his father.
Master Finn stood wearing the pants and shoes of the black tux he and Lily had bought and was just finishing buttoning up the white shirt.
"Wow, Dad."
Master Finn looked at RJ and smiled. RJ then noticed that his father's hair wasn't down with only part of it back in a loose ponytail to keep it out of his face, it was all pulled back in a loose ponytail.
"You look good with your hair pulls back." he said with a smile.
His father chuckled, picked up the jacket, put it on, and buttoned it, which it only buttoned up to his chest.
"I haven't worn one of these since I married your mother."
This proved to be true with the Shark Master fumbled with his bow-tie and ended tying his finger.
"Last time I wore a tux, I had an actual tie, not a bow-tie."
RJ chuckled, untied his father's finger, and tied the bow-tie for him.
"Thanks, son."
"No problem, Dad."
He smoothed the shoulders of the jacket, stepped back, and examined his father.
"Wow."
RJ went out of his room where Casey, Lily, Theo, Fran, and Domonick were waiting.
"All right, Dad. Come on out."
Master Finn came out, and Fran and the Rangers stood in a bit of shock. Lily was the first to find her voice.
"Wow. You look great."
"Thank you, Lily."
She handed him a bouqet of roses.
"For Camille."
He smiled.
"Lily, you're a lifesaver. I was just thinking that I should've bought her flowers."
RJ looked at his watch.
"You better get going, Dad. Unless you want Camille to think you've stood her up."
"Thanks, RJ."
Master Finn headed back to his place, his heart thudding nervously in his chest.
