Hello my fanfiction readers! How are ya?

Sorry it's been awhile. You know how it is with school and all.

Well, here's the long awaited chapter! I call it, "THE DATE".

Someone in the audience: (Sarcastically) Oh, very origional...NOT!

Me: No one asked you! -Throws shoe, hitting him in the head and he falls-

Anywho, I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I'm not even going to bother re-itterating myself. You get the idea.

Enjoy!

I swung my bag over my shoulder and walked out of the bathroom. Then I went to Connor's locker. He was already there, so I paused and took a breath. I can do this. I somehow managed to calm the butterflies in my stomach down enough to walk over there and meet up with him. Then I walked up to him.

He turned and saw me. "Hey Ember." He said with a smile.

"Hi Connor." I said sheepishly.

"So, are you ready to go?"

"Sure. Let's go."

We headed out the front door of the school and started walking. As we walked, we came up on the local pizza place with the balcony overlooking the street. Connor stopped walking.

He turned to me. "Do you mind if we stop for a slice first? I didn't have much of a lunch today."

I looked up at the second story of the restaurant. "Okay. But we're sitting on the balcony. Today is too beautiful to be spending it all inside."

He gave a chuckle. "Fair enough."

We walked inside and asked for a table on the balcony. We were seated and given menus. Connor looked at his for a few moments, then set it down.

"Do you want anything, Ember?" He said.

"Just a soda." I replied.

"Are you sure? I can get you a pizza if you want."

"I'm not that hungry. Unlike you, I actually had a decent meal at lunch today."

Connor and I both laughed. This date is getting off to a pretty good start.

Suddenly, the balcony started to shake. "What's happening?" I said nervously.

"I don't know." Connor replied.

The balcony fractured under Conner's chair and he began to fall backwards in his chair. "Ahh!" He cried.

"Connor!" I pushed the table out of the way and grabbed his foot. "Hold on! I'll pull you up!"

I struggled. Something started to slip. "My shoe! I'm slipping!" He yelped.

His foot slipped out of the shoe in my hands and he fell. I tried to grab his foot, but it was too late. Then something swooped in and caught him just inches from the ground. Turns out a woman in a purple outfit caught him. She was flying.

She set Connor on his feet on the sidewalk. Then someone shouted, "There he is! Titans, go!" The woman turned to where the man pointed and flew up.

"Thank you for catching him." The words escaped my mouth before I could think twice.

The woman turned to me. When our eyes met, hers widened for a moment. I noticed that her eyes were entirely green. Weird. Then she said, "You are welcome." and smiled at me. Then she flew off to help those people she showed up with.

I hung myself from the broken ledge of the balcony by my hands and landed on my feet beside Connor.

"Who was that?" Connor asked.

"I don't know, but she looked at me as if she recognized me."

Connor and I decided to skip the pizza and buy snacks at the movie instead. He filled up on popcorn and soda and three whole boxes of candy. We couldn't decide between a love story or a horror film, so we decided to see a comedy instead. We laughed our butts off. Not only was the movie funny, but because of his constant snacking through the first half, Connor couldn't stop burping through the last half of the movie. We talked about the movie as he walked me all the way home.

We stopped in front of my house.

"I still can't believe he fit so many jelly beans up his nose!"

"And then he used them as bullets to pop the balloons! That was hilarious!"

"And to top it off, your burps were right on cue!"

"One, burp-two, burp-three, burp…"

"One, burp-two, burp-three, burp…"

"I practically choked on my own spit!"

We laughed for another moment. Then we calmed down.

"I had a lot of fun today." I said.

"Yeah. Me too." He said blushing.

There was silence.

"We should do this again sometime."

I still cannot believe what I did next.

I leaned in and kissed his cheek.

Then I stood and blushed. I can't believe I just did that.

More silence, then I said, "Good night."

He looked at me in surprise and held his cheek. Then he smiled warmly. "Good night." He said to me. Then he turned and headed back to his own home as I walked up to my front door, shocked that I acted as girly as I did. Still, I was very happy with the results of the afternoon's events. A wide smile smacked across my face. Best first date of my life.

So tell me, what did you think? Did you like it? Hate it? Feel weird about it? For some reason want to marry it? I, scratch that. I don't really need to know that last one. That would be kind of awkward for me. No offense to those who do, I just don't need to know, and I'm not really quite sure how that would work out, so..uh...moving on!

Just to let you guys know, this chapter pretty much ends where the next one begins. Just a heads-up.

Crud! What am I forgetting? I haven't updated in so long, I can't even remember my entire Author's Note routine. Oh well.

You know what's next!
