"Tonight's the night!" Tira said cheerfully. "I get to go on a date with the handsomest man in the world!"

She looked into the car's side mirror to make sure no hairs were out of place. For tonight, she was going on a date with the handsome bartender Siegfried. She adjusted her SCIV 2P outfit and added the finishing touches to her make-up. Nightmare walked out of the tent, still wounded from the incident with the fish two days ago.

"What's the occasion?" he asked with a brow up. "Are you dressing nice for me?"

"No," Tira answered with cheerfulness in her voice.

"Then what are you doing?"

"You remembered that bartender at that karaoke bar, Siegfried?" she asked while applying some mascara.

"Wasn't he the dude with the long blonde?"

"He's the dude you kissed when you were drunk," Tira said with a smile.

"Yeah, I remember," Nightmare muttered.

"He asked me out when you were past out in the back seat of his car."

Nightmare's jaw dropped. "What?!"

"I know! Isn't that awesome? He'll be here any minute."

"But-but-but-but-but….I thought we were going to hang out tonight?! TOGETHER?!" Nightmare stammered out.

"I told you, didn't I?"

Tira cocked her head. Nightmare continued to look at her with his jaw dropped, eyes full of disbelief. Nightmare ran up to Tira and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Don't leave!" Nightmare cried. "I don't want to be alone with the neighbors! They're insane!"

Tira patted Nightmare's head armor. "It's OK, Nighty. I'll be home before-

"11 o' clock?" Nightmare said looking up at Tira.

"Yeah…Sure."

Then, a white car pulled up behind the yellow rusty piece of junk known as Nightmare's car. Nightmare unwrapped his arms around Tira and stood up. As Siegfried walked over to the two, Nightmare glared at Siegfried. Siegfried returned the same expression.

"Hello, Siegfried!" Tira greeted cheerfully.

"Hello, Tira," Siegfried greeted not as cheerfully.

"Let me lay down the ground rules!" Nightmare said with authority in his voice.

"Oh great…" Tira mumbled under her breath.

"Rule number one; I want Tira to be home by 11 o' clock. Rule number two; you will not be at least 3 feet near her. If you are, I will chop off your arm. Rule number three; you will not. I repeat, WILL NOT, do any touching, kissing, making out with, taking off any of her clothes, having-"

"Nightmare!" Tira interrupted. "I think we get it!"

"Oh…OK then. Have a nice time."

Nightmare walked back into the tent with his head hanging down.

"Well. Let's get going," Siegfried said to Tira.

"OK then," Tira answered.

They walked to Siegfried's car and got in it. Nightmare poked his head out of the opening and watched them drive off. He found the phone that he stole from the annoying neighbors next door and dialed in a number.

"Hello, Inferno's Giant Fire Balls Emporium. Located near Seong Mi-na's Sports Store. How may I be of service to you?" Some person answered on the other end.

"Yeah, I'd like a giant fire ball," Nightmare told the person on the other line. "Delivered to the tent on the only dirt road in the woods."

"Would you like it wrapped up?"

"Sure. It should be for a Mr. Kilik. K-I-L-I-K. And a Miss Xianghua. X-I-A-N-G-H-U-A.

"Ok then. We'll ship your order out tonight. It should be there about 10 o' clock."

"Thank you," he said as he hung up. A mischievous smile came across his face. "I don't need Tira to have fun. But I miss her already!" He gripped his pillow and began crying into it.

"So, where are we going?" Tira asked.

"If I remembered correctly, we're going to Lizardman's Mutton on a Stick. My boss, Zasalamel is manager there as well and gave me a 2 percent discount if I go there."

"Wow…For a guy who likes to threaten to kill people he sure doesn't have any free time."

"I know," Siegfried replied.

Siegfried pulled into a parking space and turned off the car. The two walked out of the car and walked right next to each other. Siegfried took Tira's hand and now, they were holding hands. Tira blushed bright red.

As they entered the bizarrely named restaurant, good ol' Zasalamel was waiting at the door. Zasalamel was looking down at a menu behind a podium.

"Welcome to Lizardman's Mutton on a Stick. Where the meat you eat is always made from the souls of foolish, fat chicken," Zasalamel said looking down at the menu. He looked up and his eyes narrowed. "Oh…it's you."

"Hello Zasalamel," Siegfried said.

"If you two do anything stupid…I'll kill you. If I hear any complaining-"

"Yeah, Yeah. We know. You'll kill us," Tira interrupted. "Can you please show us where we could sit?"

"No," Zasalamel growled. "That's why we have Link. LINK! GET YOUR GREEN CLAD ASS OVER HERE AND GET THESE PEOPLE SEATED!!"

An elf came running over to Siegfried and Tira, tripping over tables and people while getting over there. Just as Zasalamel said, he was defiantly green-clad.

"HYAH!!" Link shouted unnecessarily loud.

"What the crap did he say?" Tira asked.

"He said 'Follow me to your seat'," Siegfried translated.

Link walked through the restaurant with Siegfried and Tira following.

"How did you know what he was saying?" Tira whispered into Siegfried's ear.

"He comes into the karaoke bar once a week. He always comes talking to me for some odd reason," Siegfried explained. "But, I understand what he's saying."

Link showed the couple to their seats and sat them down.

"HYAH TEE-YAH!!" Link shouted while taking out a little notepad and pen.

"He said 'Do you want anything to drink?'" Siegfried translated.

"Um…just water," Tira said.

"I'll have the water as well," Siegfried said to Link.

"TEE-YAH!!" Link shouted before walking away.

In the mean time, Tira looked around the oddly designed restaurant. There was what appeared to be a car sticking out of the ceiling. Frying pans and spoons were hung from the ceiling. Weird pictures of Lizardman herding cattle on horseback or of him shepherding sheep were hanging on the walls. But the oddest thing there was probably the life-size statue of Lizardman doing the can-can with another Lizardman who was wearing a dress.

"Are you alright?" Siegfried asked Tira, which snapped her out of looking at the odd stuff inside the resturant.

"Yeah…But this place is weird," Tira said.

Siegfried shrugged. "That's what happens when you give Lizardman enough money to open up his own resturant."

Tira giggled and looked into Siegfried's eyes. He returned the stare.

"Kiss him. Kiss him. Kiss him."

Tira turned around and glared at the guy behind her who was chanting 'Kiss him'.

"Hey! Mind your own business," She snapped.

"You're a meanie!" He said before turning around.

As she turned around, Link has just returned with the water. He set the two glasses down lightly.

"HOO-YAH!! TEE-YAH!!" Link shouted as he got out the little notepad and pen.

"Do you know what you're going to get?" Siegfried asked Tira.

"Um…I'll just take the chicken salad."

"I'll have the giant mutton on the bone," Siegfried said to Link.

After Link scribbled that down on the notepad, he took the menus.

"HYAH!!" Link said before running off to the kitchen.

"So…What do you do for a living?" Siegfried asked.

"Well, I was an assassin for about most of life. I am wanted in 30 countries. I have a 20 million gold bounty on my head and I'm the world champion rhythmic gymnastics title holder," Tira said with a psychotic smile on her face.

Siegfried's jaw dropped. "Well…that's quite a lot of stuff that you're famous for."

Tira giggled cutely. Siegfried looked over behind Tira and saw "Manager in Charge" Zasalamel glaring over at them.

'If you have fun…I'll kill you' Zasalamel mouthed to Siegfried.

Siegfried rolled his eyes and looked back at Tira. Tira blushed as she looked at him. At this moment Tira leaned across the table to kiss him. Siegfried did the same. Just before their lips came in contact, something stopped Tira. The guy behind her grabbed her butt. Tira turned around and glared evilly at the guy who just touched her.

"What the hell did you just do?" Tira growled.

"Nothing! I swear!" the man behind her said nervously.

"Like hell you did!" Tira snarled as she pulled out her Eiserne Drossel.

"My, what weird weapon you have," the man said trembling violently.

"All the better to kill you with!" Tira said.

Just as Tira was about to decapitate the poor pervert, Siegfried quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and held her back.

"I suggest if you want to live, you go…now," Siegfried said calmly.

The man listened to Siegfried and got the hell out of there. Siegfried let go of Tira.

"You alright?" Siegfried asked Tira.

"Yeah…I'm OK," Tira answered as she calmed down.

"Good…"

After the couple finished dinner, they went to the movie theater. They choose on the blockbuster movie of the season, "I Dream of Apple Pie" starring Astaroth, Necrid and Charade. The movie is about a man, Astaroth, who falls in love with another man, Necrid, but the man's (Astaroth) dad, Charade, doesn't like the fact that his son is homosexual. So, the dad tries to kill Necrid but keeps getting stopped by one of the co-stars, Voldo, who is also homosexual.

Siegfried and Tira were virtually alone when the movie started. Then, two idiots just had to sit behind them during the previews for upcoming movies. The two behind Tira and Siegfried were both men, possibly teenagers.

"This place is empty. Why the hell do they have to sit behind us?" Tira whispered to Siegfried.

Siegfried shrugged. "Maybe because they are idiots."

"That's a possibility."

The one of the boys behind Tira tapped his finger on her shoulder. She turned around and glared at him. One of the boys had a face covered in zits. The other boy had a black hat on his head.

"What do you want?" She asked coldly.

"Are your breasts real?" the zit face asked.

"Shut up," Tira growled.

"Mind your own damn business," Siegfried added.

"Fine, whatever," black hat kid said.

The movie had just started. Astaroth just met Necrid for the first time and they were instantly in love's net. At this time, Siegfried was wrapped his arm around Tira's shoulder. Tira, in response, leaned her head onto Siegfried's shoulder. Her eyes began to get heavy. Just resting her head on the handsome man made her tired. But, the idiots behind her started to chuckle and this pissed Tira off.

"I swear on Soul Edge's eye…I will beat those twerps up they don't shut up," Tira mumbled under her breath.

"Just ignore them," Siegfried said to her. "Then, they will stop."

Surprisingly, the teenage boys left them alone…until half way through the movie. At this point in the movie, Charade has just found out about Astaroth and Necrid's little "get together" and has forbidden Astaroth from seeing Necrid ever again. The idiots behind Siegfried and Tira have just begun throwing popcorn at the back of their heads. Tira's hair was fine, due to the weird, but cool looking hat that was on her but Siegfried had a problem. Popcorn was getting stuck in his hair. To make things worse, it was buttered popcorn. Finally, he turned around and yelled at the teens.

"Will you stop that?" he asked with pure anger in his voice.

"We're just having fun," zit face answered.

"Yeah! Fun!" black hat said.

Tira slowly turned around and gave the I'm-going-to-kill-you stare.

"I give you little twerps 5 seconds to get up and run out of here…" She said in her creepy, emo voice.

"Why should we?" zit face answered.

Tira pulled out her ring blade and demonstrated what she was going to do to them by cutting a seat in half. "That's what's going to happen if you don't get the hell out of here!"

The two boys ran out of there without saying another word. Siegfried looked at her with astonishment.

"You are one scary woman…and I'm getting turned on by that," He said so quietly that Tira couldn't hear.

Tira sat back down and they enjoyed the rest of the movie. In the end, Charade confronts the two lovers on a cliff that was over the ocean. Using the power of love, Necrid and Astaroth were able to distract him and push him off the cliff. The two lovers got married and went off in a carriage drawn by two white horses.

"That movie was pretty good," Tira said as they exited the theater. "No wonder it became shut a blockbuster."

"I must agree it was pretty good," Siegfried admitted. "But I don't understand the name. There were no references to apple pie or pie in general."

Siegfried pulled the car up behind the yellow rusty piece of junk known as Nightmare's car at about 10: 55 PM. He parked the car. Both he and Tira stepped out of the car at the same time. Tira slammed the door and looked over at Xianghua and Kilik's campsite. A giant smoldering fireball was just outside their tent.

"There's something you don't see everyday," Tira said to herself.

Siegfried walked over with Tira to the front of her tent.

"Well…here we are," Tira said with a cute little smile on her face.

"Yeah…" Siegfried said. "I had a fun time."

"Me too."

The two looked into each other's eyes. Tira and Siegfried began to lean forward. But just before their lips even made contact, the tent opened up and out came Nightmare flailing arms about in the arm and yelling like a madman. Both Tira and Siegfried screamed. Tira stayed put but Siegfried went to his car and got the hell away from there.

"Oh, hello Tira!" Nightmare greeted. "How was your…gulp…date?"

"Er…it was OK. But every time we tried to kiss we were interrupted." Tira said with no malice or meanness in her voice.

"You didn't?" Nightmare said. Tira shook her head. Nightmare turned to side quickly and said, "Yes!"

"I'm tired," Tira said with a yawn. "I'm going to go to bed."

Just as Tira was walking over to the tent's opening, Nightmare placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Tira," he said. Little did Tira know, Nightmare was blushing bright red underneath his armor.

"What is it Nighty?" Tira asked cocking her head to the side.

"Um…they're is something I want to tell…Er…I mean show you."

"What is it?"

"I…Um…"

Without any warning, Nightmare pulled Tira close to his body and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. He pulled back only to find Tira looking at him with wide eyes.

"Um…see you back in the tent," Nightmare said before running into the tent.

Tira stood absolutely still for a few minutes. She placed a few fingers on her lips and was surprised to find that she was blushing and smiling.

A/N: I like that ending! I don't care what you people say, it's cute. Go Nighty and Tira! Anyway, thanks for reading and please review. I will love any comments that you make about the story and I will take any constructive criticism.
