So here's that one-shot I was talking about (Reid and Mia's First Date)…. I was just gonna post it separately, but since it flowed better, it's with 'One Chance'… ENJOYY!
"Mia, you promised you'd go." Tyler said, sitting in the chair across from her. "I changed my mind." she said, plopping down on her bed. "It's a woman's prerogative to do that." Tyler scoffed and looked at her sarcastically. "Say's who, Mia?" Mia rolled her eyes at him and quickly thought of an answer to his question. "It's an unwritten rule." she said with a smile on her face. "And it's part of girl code." Tyler smiled at his friend and ran a hand through his dark brown hair. "I don't know anything about girl code, Mia." He said, making her giggle. "What I do know is that you agreed to go on a date with Reid and he's been annoying the hell out of me about it ever since." Mia laid back on her bed and let out a frustrated sigh. "I know I did, Ty. I just don't know if I can go through with it." Tyler moved from the chair he was in and sat down on the bed next to her. ""Why not?" He asked, and she sat up to look at him, a mix of guilt and embarrassment on her face. "I don't know what might happen if we were alone. He might expect something and I'm not the type of girl…" She started, but Tyler cut her off, mid-rant. "You're going to the carnival, Mia. Reid's not gonna try and mount you on the Ferris Wheel." Mia scoffed and moved away from Tyler, going to sit on Kate's side of their room. "That's not what I heard from when he took Stacy Kavanaugh last year."
Tyler sighed and put his head down, knowing exactly what she was talking about. The year before, Reid, who was a sophomore at the time, took Stacy, who was a junior, to the carnival. The rumor going around Spencer was that they had sex at the top of the Ferris Wheel, but because he's Reid's' best friend, Reid told him the truth about what actually happened: All they did was make out. There was a lot of heavy petting going on, but nothing major happened. Reid just let everyone assume that it did and because of his growing popularity, Stacy never set anyone straight.
"You can't believe everything you hear, Mia." Tyler said, looking over at her. "And you already knew the rumors and his reputation when you agreed to go out with him." Mia sighed and went back over to her bed. "Because he doesn't seem like the guy everyone says he is when we're together." Tyler put his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her fears. "He's not. But me telling you isn't gonna show you." He said as she put her head on his shoulder. "Give him a chance to show you who he really is, Mia." She sat with Tyler in silence and let out a sigh. "On one condition." she said, making Tyler look at her questioningly. "What condition?" Mia looked at him and smiled. "You have to come on the date with us." Tyler moved from his seat and stood in the middle of the dorm room. "How am I suppose to do that? Three's a crowd, remember?" Mia laughed at his reaction. "Then bring someone." she said, getting up and starting to gather her things for a shower. "How am I suppose to find a date for this in three hours, Mia?" He asked, watching her move around her dorm room. "If you want me to go on this date, you'll figure something out." She said, opening her door and pushing him out, before grabbing her keys and closing the door. "I'm gonna go start getting ready. You start trolling the hallway for a dateless girl." she said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek. "Good Luck, Ty." She said, heading towards the showers and leaving a flustered Tyler in the hallway.
Reid and Tyler walked into the courtyard and Reid started getting nervous. "Calm down, man." Tyler said, watching Reid start to fidget. "This date is gonna be fine." Reid sighed and rolled his eyes. "You said she didn't even wanna go, Baby Boy." Tyler noded. "But she is going." he said, putting his hand on Reid's shoulder. "She's going, and you two are gonna have a good time. Stop whining like a little girl." Reid smacked the back of Tyler's head as they turned the corner and saw two girls standing under a tree. "Who's that girl with Mia?" Reid asked, and Tyler's face turned a light shade of pink. "My date. She lives on Mia's floor." Reid briefly laughed but stopped when the girls turned to them.
"You guys ready?" The girl with Mia asked. Mia just laughed and shook her head. "This is Jennifer. She lives across from Me and Kate." She said. Reid nodded and quickly looked her over before turning his attention back to Mia. "You ready, Baby Girl?" He asked, a smile threatening to creep on his face. Mia quickly looked over at Tyler, who had a smile on his face, then nodded at Reid. "Yeah, let's go. It's should be fun."
About 2 hours after they got to the carnival, Reid and Mia separated from Tyler and Jennifer. "Are you having a good time?" He asked as they were walking through the carnival, turning his head to look at her. "Surprisingly, yes." She said with a small smile on his face. "You didn't think you would?" He asked, his feelings slightly hurt. "It's not like that, its just not what I expected to happen." She said seeing him nod. "I'm glad to see that you proved me wrong." Reid just smiled and stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" Mia asked, seeing him look around. "Let's make a deal." He said reaching for her hand once he found what he was looking for. "What kind of deal?" Mia asked as she reluctantly took his hand. "It's more like a game actually." He said as he led her to one of the game booths set up. "If I can knock down all those bottles in one try, you have to go out with me again." Mia thought this over and nodded her head in agreement. "And it has to be a solo date. No dates or "accidentally" running into other people." He said, watching her smile. "Fine, Reid. But if you can't you have to sing a Miley Cyrus song in front of our English class AND you cant ask me out again." She said, folding her arms across her chest. Reid just laughed and nodded. "Fine, Baby Girl. But I don't intend on losing."
Mia scoffed as Reid gave the man in charge of the booth the money and was handed three balls. "I only need one." He said, handing the other two back to the man. Reid winded his arm back and threw the ball directly at the center of the stack, knocking them all down. Mia began clapping and started laughing when Reid started taking numerous bows. "Congratulations." She said, once he finally stopped. "You get this too." The man said, handing Reid a medium sized teddy bear. Reid briefly looked at it and handed it to Mia. "Aww. It's cute." She said as they started walking away.
"So what are you gonna name it?" Reid asked, putting his arm around her shoulder. "I don't know. I haven't gotten a stuffed animal since I was 10." Reid looked at the Teddy Bear and began to jokingly stroke his chin. "You should name him… Dudley." Mia laughed and looked up at him. "Dudley?" She asked, watching him nod. "From the Dudley Do Right cartoon?" Mia nodded. "From the Rocky and Bullwinkle show?" She asked, seeing him nod again. "I like it." she said, watching him smile. "Me too. So then it's decided. His name is Dudley." Reid said, seeing Mia nod in agreement.
"Thank you." She said. "For Dudley, I mean." She quickly added as she stopped in front of the Merry-Go-Round. "No problem." He said, looking at the girl in front of him. Normally, Reid wouldn't of tried so hard on a date. He never had to because the girls he usually went out with usually threw themselves at him. But Mia was the complete opposite of that. She was hesitant on whether or not she wanted to let herself like him and he actually liked the fact that he had to work harder than usual to get her attention; he had to convince her to take a chance on him and prove that her was worth her doing so. He thought it was a refreshing change and realized that in the short amount of time that he knew her that she was worth everything he was doing and that he liked the way he was with her.
"Now I have a question for you." Reid said, looking at Mia. "Go ahead and ask." She responded, looking at Reid with a sparkle in her eyes that made Reid's heart beat faster than usual. 'What is she doing to me?' He thought to himself as he stared at her. "Okay, so I already kissed you at Nikky's right?" He asked, seeing her nod her head. "Right…" She said, slightly confused as to where Reid was going with his question. "And I'm about to kiss you again, Right?" Reid asked with a smirk on his face, briefly shocking Mia with his bluntness. "I guess…" She said hesitantly, still confused. "Which one counts as the official first kiss?" Mia put her head down and lightly chuckled to herself as she thought of an answer. "Whichever one is better." She responded, making him smile. "Okay then." He said, putting his hand under her chin and gently lifting her head so that she was facing him. Then, Reid leaned down and gently kissed Mia. At first it was slow and gentle, but after a few moments, the kiss intensified and reluctantly ended when both Reid and Mia were out of breath. At the same time, the lights on the Merry-Go-Round turned off and most of the carnival was empty.
"So I think that one was better." Mia said, trying to catch her breath. "Good to know." Reid said, nodding. "And I think the carnival's over." She said, and Reid put his arm around her shoulder. "I think you're right." he said. "So what do we do now?" Mia asked as they started leaving. "I guess I take you back to your room?" He asked looking down at her. She was about to say something but her phone started ringing. She opened it and read the message she got. "Or we can find Tyler and meet up with everyone else at Nikky's. That was Kate." she said, putting her phone back in her pocket. "Sounds like a plan." He said as they left the park.
Reid took out his phone and texted Tyler, who had already taken Jennifer back to the dorms. They met up with him at his car a few minutes later. "What happened to Jennifer?" Reid asked, walking towards him. "She's mega clingy." Tyler said, making Mia snicker. "I should've warned you about that." Mia said, smiling at him. Reid quickly snatched Tyler's keys from his hand and walked over to the driver's seat.
"So…" Tyler asked Mia, and she pulled him into a hug. "Thank you." She said, as she pulled away from him. "What'd I do?" he asked, confused. "You made me take a chance on Reid." She said, and he nodded in realization. "I wouldn't have if you didn't push me and I'm glad I did." He nodded and the two started walking to the other side of the car. "I'm glad you did too." He said opening the door to the passenger side. "Now he can stop annoying me." Mia chuckled and got in the back seat ant the three of them headed to meet their friends at Nikky's.
