Loke is a man who believes in never giving up.

Whatever maybe the situation, he likes to give his full best. He tried his best to ignore whatever happened before ahem, running away from Lucy; however, that salesman was beaten up by Loke anyway. He tried to sue the advertisement makers too but returned back from the gates of the court because he didn't want to spoil their business obviously.

They should thank him, he spared their lives obviously.

The point is, even if Plan I was a failure, Loke wasn't giving up. He wouldn't give up even if failure hit him directly on his face. Because Plan II is on its way. Yes, Plan II and this time Loke is sure he is bound to be successful...hopefully. It was a surprise for her, and he was totally sure she was gonna love it.

He is Loke and very very experienced in how to get girls flat on you (except Lucy Heartfilia). According to his analysis this would definitely work. Loke picked up his phone and scrolled through his contacts. He tapped on Lucy's contact, smiled at the image he set for her contact for a brief moment and pressed call. A few seconds later (which felt like hours) she picked up the line.

"Yeah tell me Loke," she said neutrally. They had been so close that there was no need for hello's.

"Dammit just be my girl friend."

He wanted to say that directly, but he was Loke and he had a few plans and standards to keep up. He really, really took pride in all this!

So he replied lamely.

"Waddap, Lucy?"

"Oh nothing just helping Levy fix her room. Gosh its such a mess around here!" Lucy said.

"Hey Lu-chan!" Levy whined in the back ground. "How do you sleep in this room, huh!?" was the next question in the background. Loke was intrigued. Who else was there?

"Whom are you with!?" he asked a bit too loudly.

"Geez its only Levy and Gajeel!" Lucy said. He could imagine her raising a brow and giving him the look.

"What is hedoing there?" Loke asked, his tone changing to annoyed.

"He's helping for cleaning, what's the big deal?" Lucy asked.

"Oh...you're busy?" he asked.

"Not really," she replied on the line.

"Oh nice..." Loke sighed, though he still wasn't happy that Gajeel was around.

"So?" Lucy asked.

"So...?" Loke said lamely again.

He heard Lucy sigh. "What did you call me for?"

Oh. He got side-tracked. "Uhm are you free on Saturday night?"

"Yeah I guess I am...no plans made yet..." Lucy said.

"Cool" he grinned. "A dinner with me?" Loke asked feeling positive already.

"Oh okay cool!" Lucy replied. He could feel her smile when she said that. "...Who's paying?" she asked after a while.

"Huh? I'm paying obviously! What made you ask that?" he asked, confused.

"Don't forget mister, last time you called me for dinner you forgot your wallet at home! And then I had to pay for the food." Lucy said.

Damn. Loke had tried his best to forget that one REALLY embarrassing moment of his life. All his efforts went into the drain...well at least she's coming for dinner.

%%%% v(^o^)v %%%%

Loke can't believe this is happening to him right now.

He was dressed in his best suit and gelled hair was seated on a sofa which was not in a good condition and definitely had about 50 years old chewing gum stuck under the table. Donko's Fast Food Chain was horrible.Lucy, dressed gorgeously, was sitting opposite to him slurping some milkshake and eyeing her french fries as if they were poisoned. They heard children from behind scream and yell rowdily. Honestly, what happened to the saying that children were like angels and stuff? Loke just doesn't get it.

Well that was off topic.

Back to his horrible luck, Loke re-evaluates his plans. Life plans because the awkward silence between them is killing him.

Plan II- Take Lucy H. for a romantic candle light dinner at Paradise Tower's 5 star restaurant.

His plan was to drive her to Paradise Tower in his Dad's awesome car, have a wonderful evening having a candle light dinner, drop her back home and...and that's it. Not like he was dreaming of anything. And no, he didn't dream about her last night.

But it turns out that his car had to break down in the last minute, they walked to Paradise Tower (it wasn't that far okay and he was ready to give her a piggy back ride too but she sweetly declined). On reaching the hotel they find out that his reservations were done in the name of 'Dorky'. Like what. Loke and Dorky what's the connection!? And they couldn't go in the name of 'Dorky' cause believe it or not, a guy named Dorky had already entered in. Curse that old man on the phone!

So they went to Donko's Fast Food Chain which was the closest from there and the atmosphere in there was...terrible. Some children were probably having a sort of a birthday party and they were making a really big ruckus. Loke wanted to scream. This wasn't how it was supposed to be! Oh Lucy must be upset! He was going to apologize when she decided to break the silence between them.

"Don't worry about it, Dorky"

His head snapped up and found her face adorned with a pretty smile. "What?"

"I said don't worry about it! I don't really care where you take me as long as we have fun," she grinned.

Loke smiled back before saying, "Did you just call me Dorky?"

"Yup. That's gonna be your new name," Lucy said trying to stop herself from laughing. "Dorky!"

A food fight had started who knows when, among the children and a piece of strawberry cake landed on Loke's face at which Lucy gasped and burst into fits of laughter. Suddenly another piece of cake landed on one side of Lucy's face and she grew silent. Loke took off his glasses and with his finger took some of the cream from her cheek and licked it.

"Hm! Yummy!" he grinned.

And the place erupted with their laughter.

%%%% \(^_^)/ %%%%

Loke panicked and checked all his pockets. Sweating buckets, he turned to Lucy.

"Lucy, I forgot my wallet."

Plan II- Epic Fail...?
