Second evening of dating.
Chapter 5: Another Night Out
Another day comes by and it was already five days until Valentine's day comes along and Musaki was sitting on the rooftop of the Jade Palace, looking back on his first date he had and it was like the best experience he's ever had before. The fact that Zeke and Arizona got dates of their own made him feel happy to see them happy. But he just couldn't keep his mind off of Summer and is thinking about going out again...but to where?
"Hey, Saki."
Musaki turns around and he sees Arizona walking by and he lets out a slight chuckle and replied, "How's it going?"
Arizona lets out a deep sigh as he sat down next to him and replied, "Going good, I guess."
Judging by the look on Arizona's face, Musaki could see that he's feeling happy about going through that first date and Musaki smiled a little and asked, "So...how do you like Sierra?"
Arizona blushed at the thought for a minute and then he scratched his ear, then replied in a shy tone, "Not sure."
Arizona didn't want to admit this, but he suddenly felt like for the first time in his life that he's got himself a little crush on Sierra. He lets out a small smile as he kept thinking about her and Musaki could sense it without even asking. He could actually hear Arizona giggling just a little bit and then he turns to Musaki, with a smirk on his face and that completely made him embarassed.
"Were you giggling?" asked Musaki.
"No..." Arizona said, in an innocent tone.
Then, Musaki heard Arizona giggle again, only this time with his paws on his mouth and figured that Musaki wouldn't hear it, but he did and he also saw it too. Arizona blushed yet again and he asked, "You think Sierra likes me?"
"AHA! I knew it! You like her, don't ya?" Musaki exclaimed.
Arizona knew there was no turning back on this question and he didn't want to admit it to him, but the look on Musaki's face was foolproof enough to know that Arizona hid something. He then sighed heavily and said to him, "All right. You caught me. I like her, okay?"
Musaki nodded his head and he lets out a small chuckle and a gentle punch on his arm and said, "I knew it. And may I ask why?"
Arizona sighed happily and told him, "There's something about her that I like...her eyes, her voice, the way she laughs...but mostly her eyes. Those beautiful orange eyes...I've never seen anyone look so beautiful before."
"Kinda makes you think that she might be your mate, huh?"
Musaki started laughing at that and then Arizona lets out an amused sigh and said, "Come on. I'm not sure if she's the one for me...at least not yet."
Musaki nodded his head in understanding and he said to him, "We've only got like 5 days left until valentine's day, so...we probably might do another triple date again."
Hearing that made Arizona's heart flutter in ultimate joy and glee with the fact that he might see Sierra again and he said, "That would be awesome."
A few hours later, Shifu went up to Musaki and Arizona as they walked in the Sacred hall of Warriors and then explained to them about an event and he said, "If you're not doing anything tonight, there's a play about Valentine's day; about a couple of friends that doesn't know what it might be like to celebrate the one you love and then understands it later and enjoys it throughout."
"Sounds like it was well-written for us." Musaki explained.
Shifu handed the scrolls over to them and both of them didn't know what the deal is until Shifu said, "You can take your dates there tonight."
The looks on Musaki and Arizona's face was completely well-enough for Shifu to see because it meant that they're gonna do another triple date and he said, "Better be well-dressed for tonight. And also...let them know."
Not long after, Musaki and Arizona explained the whole thing to Zeke and he was also excited for another date with the girls as well and with sunset approaching, all the boys freshened themselves up for this play and wore a few elegant outfits themselves, looking spiffier than the first dates. Musaki; he wore a green vest with a straw hat, Zeke; a yin-yang shirt and Arizona; the same khaki pants and also a black and white vest.
Tigress then walked towards the hallway and she was shocked to see all three of them dressed up and she asked, "Another date?"
"Yep. This time, we're going to a play." Musaki replied.
She scoffed at all of them and asked, "Haven't you gone on one date last night?"
Zeke took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, but a second date is cooler from the first. Besides, we got plenty of time before valentine's day."
"Hey, guys. We'd better get going. Don't wanna be late." Musaki added.
They made their way out of the door and Tigress is left completely confused and also baffled about the whole thing and she said, "Why couldn't they just avoid dating?"
As they walked through the Valley, they saw Sierra, Lani and Summer walking their way and all three girls were surprised to see them dressed up and Summer asked, "You guys going to the play?"
"Yeah." Zeke replied.
That meant another date for all six of them and soon enough, the girls wanted in on it as well as they made their way to the play. When they attended a little playhouse village, almost everyone showed up and when they entered, they turned in their scrolls to enter and they finally got in there with the best seats of the house.
They took their seats and they all sat next to each other, looking forward to a great night out and Musaki was stoked up about this play and he said, "I've never seen a play before, so this might be my first time."
Summer giggled a little bit and replied, "It's okay. It's my first time too."
And then...the show starts. It shows the three friends that didn't know what's so special about valentine's day and felt the nervousness when it comes to dating girls. When they show the part where one male duck dropped his beak when he saw a beautiful female goose came his way, it left the crowd laughing in hysterics, including Musaki and the others.
"Okay, now that's someone I can relate to that easily." Musaki said, laughing.
And then, it shows where the two friends; a rabbit and a pig comes up to see another set of girls coming in and when they tried to get their attention by basically making fools of themselves, it didn't set off the way they initially planned it to be. Arizona chuckled softly at this and said, "I feel sorry for those guys."
"That's what most guys try to do to impress girls; try to do something weird. Honestly, it never works." Sierra explained.
Hearing this made Arizona really surprised and he asked, "Do they really do that?"
"Yep."
Then, the scene takes place at night where they finally got on their first date and started with dining out to eat, dancing, and watching the stars at night. The romantic moment definitely made the audience feel for the scene and soon enough, when valentine's day came...in comes a big heart and one of them hopeless romantics confesses his love to her date and it tugged everyone's heartstrings...including Arizona's.
When they cut to the hugging scene, Arizona let out a single tear under his eye and Sierra was the first one to catch it for him. He looked at her and he said, "Thanks. It just..."
Sierra smiled at Arizona and she said, "Seeing your sensitive side is what I like most about you."
She handed him a tissue and he graciously accepted it as he wiped the tears from his eyes and he kept on looking at the rest of the play and a couple of minutes later, they show all the hopeless romantics go on a boat ride into the sunset with them and ended the play on a sweet note.
Everyone gave a standing ovation for the story and it was something that all six of the dates wish could play out in real life. After they left, they kept talking about it and it seems as though they had a great time.
When Musaki, Arizona and Zeke went back to the palace, Shifu was the first one to see them come in front of the palace doors and he asked, "How was the play?"
Musaki smiled and replied, "Really great. We had a lot of fun."
"Glad to hear."
Was that awesome or what? There's more coming your way!
