"Wait, what?" Fuu asked, trying to comprehend the string of senseless babble Ascot called words.
"I need you to do me a favor."
"Alright, what's the favor?"
"Can you find out what Umi's favorite flower is, I want to give it to her for that holiday on Earth, Valmentine's Day."
"Valentine's Day, Ascot, Valentine's."
"Right."
"Of course I can, since this is technically your first Valentine's with Miss Umi, I'm sure you would like it to be special." Fuu smiled warmly at Ascot as she walked away in search of Umi.
…………
"Miss Umi!" Fuu called, spotting her blue haired friend.
"Yes?"
"What's your favorite flower?"
"What? Why?"
"I'm just curious."
"Oh, the gardenia or the lily."
"Thank you."
"Fuu! Can you do me a huge favor?"
"Alright."
"Can you find out what Ascot's favorite food is?"
"Alright."
"Thanks Fuu, you're the best!"
…………
Later that evening all was ready to go; a nice romantic meal for Ascot was ready to be eaten, a fresh bouquet of gardenia and lilies were ready to be given to Umi and all was set. Ascot walked into the small area Umi had designated as a dining room where two candles were set up, with a single red rose in a vase between them. The food on the plates looked delightful and smelled excellent also.
"Umi?" Ascot called out, hiding the flowers behind his back.
"Oh! Right on time, Ascot." Umi said, standing next to a side table.
"These are for you." Ascot held out the flowers with a bit of force and Umi took them, smelling them then walking toward a vase.
"Thank you, Ascot, these are my favorite types of flowers." When she returned with her flowers in a pretty vase, she got on her tip toes and gave Ascot a swift peck on the lips. If Umi had said anything after that, it would all be garbled and probably misinterpreted because all that Ascot knew was that Valentine's Night would be a good one. A very good one indeed.
a/n: Happy Valentine's day! Kisses!
