Hello everyone. Sorry for the long wait but here is the next chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. Also, SuperShadowMario101, I couldn't come up with a way for Zero to accidently call Ciel fat. Sorry. And Jab, I'm sorry but I couldn't come with anything for Ciel's past. Also, I didn't think about putting Alouette in but if you think you can find good place or way to put her in let me know. That aside, on with the story. (P.S. Everyone check out Xybur7's fanfiction. It's awesome.)
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the megaman characters. All characters belong to Capcom.
"Go ahead and compliment her dress," Neige replied.
"That was my idea you mggllff!" Croire started before Neige covered her with her hat.
"Shut up you idiot," Neige whispered.
"I really like your dress," Zero complimented Ciel.
Ciel looked up from her menu and giggled.
"Why thank you Zero," she replied, "I got it especially for tonight."
"Really?" Zero asked.
"Yep," Ciel replied, "I asked one of the girls at Area Zero if…"
"Mmgglff- That was my idea!" Croire yelled after Neige let go of the hat so she could lift it a little.
"Shut up," Neige whispered nervously, "I never said it wasn't."
"Then you should've let me suggest it to Zero just now!" Croire complained.
"Be quiet," Neige whispered more franticly, "The waiter is coming! And quit acting so childish."
"Not until you—," Croire started before Neige suddenly slammed her hat back down.
"Is something wrong miss?" the waiter asked.
"No, no," Neige laughed nervously, "everything is just fine."
The waiter looked at her suspiciously for a moment before carrying on. Once he was gone, Neige let out a sigh of relief.
"Croire," she whispered lifting her hat a little, "sorry about that. Are you alright?"
Croire sat dizzily on Neige's head.
"Sundays and Mondays are funny fun days," she said dizzily before collapsing, "and puppies are too."
"Oops," Neige said nervously, "I think I hit you a little too hard. Sorry."
After a short while, Zero and Ciel's conversation stopped and both were back to sitting quietly. As they sat, Zero started to try and lean back in his chair.
"Stop that right now Zero!" Neige suddenly demanded, making Zero nearly fall back out of his chair.
"Why?" Zero asked as he set the chairs legs back down.
"That's very impolite on a date," Neige replied sternly.
"Fine," Zero sighed leaning onto the table.
"And get your elbows off the table!" Neige ordered.
Zero suppressed a growl of annoyance as he took his elbows off the table. After a few seconds, Neige spoke up again.
"Try to start another conversation," she said.
"On what?" Zero asked.
"I don't know," Neige replied, "try asking her about her work lately."
"So, how has work been in the command room lately?" Zero asked Ciel a little awkwardly.
Ciel looked at Zero a little bit confused this time.
"Um, Zero," she asked, "Are you feeling all right?"
"Yeah," Zero replied, "Why?"
"Well," Ciel replied, "You're not usually the one to start a conversation. Is something wrong?"
'She's catching on!' Neige thought nervously.
"Well, um, uh," Zero stuttered nervously, trying to think of an answer.
Before he could, his and Ciel's food arrived, making Ciel forget about the question, much to Zero's relief.
"That was too close," Neige said as Zero and Ciel started eating.
As they ate, Zero heard Neige again.
"Ok," she said, "I think we'll stop trying to start a conversation, but maybe you could…"
She was suddenly interrupted by small groan.
"Croire," she said, "You're ok."
"No thanks to you," Croire replied rubbing her head, "What are they doing now?"
"Well, their food just got there," Neige replied.
Croire thought for a moment.
"Ooh, ooh, they should feed each other," she suggested.
Zero nearly choked on an E-crystal.
"Zero, are you alright?" Ciel asked worriedly.
"Croire!" Neige nearly shouted, "Why would you even suggest that?"
"I've heard that other couples do it," Croire replied.
"Not in public!" Neige explained.
"Oh," Croire replied, "but what about at weddings?"
"That's tradition," Neige answered.
"I can still hear you two," Zero whispered.
"Sorry," Neige and Croire apologized.
"You can still hear who?" Ciel asked.
"Nobody," Zero replied nervously.
After they finished their meal, the waiter brought them their check.
"Make sure to pay for it," Neige spoke, "the gentleman always pays for the meal."
"I know that," Zero whispered taking the check, "I'm not stupid."
"Wait," Croire spoke up.
"What?" Neige asked.
"He forgot to order the chocolate," Croire replied.
"Enough with the chocolate already!" Neige nearly yelled.
After paying for the meal, Zero escorted Ciel out of the restaurant.
"That was a lovely date Zero," Ciel thanked, "thank you."
"But it's not over," Zero stated.
"It's not?" Ciel asked looking up at Zero in surprise.
"C'mon, let's follow them," Croire said, flying out from under Neige's hat.
"Croire, wait!" Neige called after her.
"Is that a cyber elf?" asked one of the waiters.
"Oh boy," Neige sighed.
A few seconds later, Croire and Neige landed face first in the ground outside the restaurant. As they stood up and wiped the dirt from their faces, Neige turned to Croire.
"Next time," she said, "stay under the hat."
Well, there you all go. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Thank Xybur7 for convincing me to continue this and also giving me several good suggestions for what to put in this one. Also, I'm getting a little tired of not getting any suggestions for places Ciel and Zero should go to. Luckily, I got the idea to do a slow dance hall next. However, I'm still missing few joke ideas for it as well as one very essential thing. What should Neige's disguise be this time? Remember, she's a journalist so almost nothing is considered too far. Also, for place suggestions, remember one essential thing, Ciel is still wearing a fancy dress so it can't be someplace where she could easily get it dirty or torn. Well, I think that's everything. Until next time
