South takes CT on a surprise date to an ancient Egypt exhibit. On the way back, they went to see a live interpretation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's then that South learns about CT's fear of heights.
Heights
"South, where are we going?" She was being dragged around by her arm by South. The taller girl hadn't told her where they were going. South looked back at her and laughed. "I told you it was a surprise!" CT groaned. "Didn't I already tell you that I don't like surprises?" South laughed as she continued to pull the smaller girl around. "Yes, but I also remember something you told you did like. Just come on!"
CT continued to let South drag her around, but wondered what South was talking about. What did I tell her that I liked? She continued to ponder the question even when South had stopped dragging her. "CT!" The small girl snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at the taller girl. "What?" South jerked her head to the side, motioning for CT to look in that direction. When she looked, a gasp escaped her lips. Her lips formed a grin and she looked back to South. "An ancient Egypt exhibit?"
South smiled and nodded, rubbing the back of her neck with her hand. "Yeah, I remembered that one of the things you told me that you liked were mummies and ancient Egypt. Then I saw an ad for this and I thought it would be perfect for umm…" She paused for a moment. "For a date." She finished, looking down at the ground. CT broke out into giggles and jumped on South giving her a tight hug. South returned the hug, squeezing her just as tight. After a few moments, she set her back on the ground. "I can't believe you remembered South!" The taller girl smiled and grabbed both of CT's hands. "I-I remember everything about you." CT couldn't stop smiling. She could feel her face blush a deep crimson. They stood in silence for a while, just holding each other's hands. Finally, South cleared her throat. "So, let's go in!" CT smiled and nodded. She walked hand in hand with South into the exhibit.
They walked around the exhibit for about two hours. CT excitedly walked up to everything in every section of the exhibit, South in tow. The small girl had even insisted that they go see the live Indiana Jones show, another thing she loved. South had happily obliged. This night was all about CT and she was determined to make it perfect. They exited the exhibit as they had entered, hand in hand. CT was wearing an oversized Indiana Jones shirt that South had offered to buy her. The girls looked at each other at the same time and broke out into giggles. "This has been such an amazing night South!" CT said, lifting her head to gaze at the stars. South grinned, loving that she had made the girl so happy.
She glanced to the side and saw a building with a sign out front. It said "Come see our interpretation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show! Start time: 8 PM. Free admission." South had remembered something else CT liked.
South glanced at her watch. It read 7:50 PM. She smiled and stopped walking, pulling CT's arm lightly to tell her to stop. "What would you say if I told you I could make this night even more amazing?" "What? I don't know if anything could top the ancient Egypt exhibit South." South laughed. "You sure about that?" She pointed to the sign. CT looked and her face lit up again, though it quickly turned into a puzzled look. "Wait, how did you know that I like musicals? I've never told anyone that." South chuckled, running a hand through her hair. "I sort of found your stash of musical movies and scripts." She looked at the small girl, giving her a cheeky grin.
CT burst into laughter and hugged South again. She pulled back and grabbed her hand. "Let's go inside!" South laughed and let the CT pull her into the building. They had gotten there just in time, but there were no seats left. "Are you ok with standing?" South asked. CT looked up at her and nodded. She would have no problem standing through the play. Nothing could possibly ruin this night.
But five minutes into the play, CT found that she could barely see over the heads of the audience. She tugged at South's sleeve. The taller girl looked down at her. "What is it CT?" "I can't see anything. Can I sit on your shoulders?" South chuckled and crouched down. "Hop on." CT climbed onto South's back and looped her arms around South's neck. South stood up and CT was able to see the whole stage. She watched the play and was enjoying herself a lot. That is, until she got a glimpse at how high she was from the floor. Her stomach filled with butterflies and she tightened her hold on South's neck. South made a small choking sound. "CT, you're choking me. What's wrong?" CT started shaking.
"S-South, please put me down." "What? Why? You asked to sit on my shoulders." "I-I didn't realized that I w-would be this high off the ground." It finally dawned on South that CT was afraid of heights. She never told me that. She smirked. I could have a tiny bit of fun with this. South started rocking herself back and forth. "Oh no, CT! I'm losing my balance!" CT tightened her hold on South even more. She squeaked but tried to keep her voice down so she didn't interrupt the play. "South! Stop! I'm scared!" She decided she had had enough fun and walked out into the lobby, putting CT down. The small girl turned away from South, crossing her arms. "That wasn't funny South!" South chuckled. "Come on CT! I was just playing! You never told me you were afraid of heights." She walked up behind CT and wrapped her arms around her waist. CT still refused to face South.
The tall girls smirk returned to her face as she squeezed CT's sides. CT started giggling, trying to pull away from South. "South!" She laughed. "Stop it! Don't tickle me!" "I'm not stopping until you forgive me." CT shook her head, still laughing. "Oh, a stubborn one are we?" South continued tickling her, determined to get her to forgive her. CT held out a few more seconds before yelling, "Ok, ok! I forgive you! I forgive you!" South chuckled and stopped tickling her, spinning her around in her arms. CT's face was flushed a light shade of pink. South rested her forehead on CT's as the girl caught her breath. The girls' eyes met. They looked at each other for a few moments. South brought her face closer to CT's and their lips met in a passionate kiss.
CT pulled back and smiled, biting her lip. "Best. Date. Ever." South smiled, leaning in for another kiss. CT happily obliged.
