Sunday came, and Ichigo was nervous. He hoped that no one would blow this to risk his friendship with Momo. He woke up five minutes before six and took a shower, making sure that he would feel refreshed throughout the day.
When finished he changed into a simple dark red polo, black pants, dark brown shoes and a digital watch. He went downstairs and prepared his own breakfast: a grilled cheese sandwich and a mug of hot milk before brushing his teeth then leaving the house; the time being 7:10.
Meanwhile in another residence Momo was already bathed, she already at her stomach and brushed her teeth though she was still worried about something: what she has to wear.
After thinking and thinking she finally made her choice: a sleeveless light pink shirt with a brown jacket on it, then a short black skirt with knee-high socks and brown leather shoes.
She let her hair loose, and she put a dark red headband on it, which was a gift to her by her mother when she was still a child. And she placed a cute necklace around her neck, which was from her father.
She head down and locked the house, leaving the keys under the doormat since Rangiku will be home later in the afternoon. Before she could take a step outside the lot Ichigo took a step in her lot first.
"Hi, Ichigo-san." Momo greeted and Ichigo greeted her back, and they started walking. But to where? They haven't decided where to go yet on their first date together.
Ichigo quickly made a suggestion, "How about we go to the mall? It's near here." The raven head agreed and they went there, and good thing the place wasn't full yet.
"I would like to go to the movies." Momo said, and the berry led themselves to the cinema, where they bought two tickets.
Ichigo decided to pay for both himself and Momo insisted that she'd pay him back though he declined, not wanting to make her feel bad about herself.
They took their seats and Ichigo left for a while to buy some junk food and soda. The movie had yet to start because of the long trailers and previews and commercials. And Momo was nervous since this was a horror movie, and she wanted to try and test her courage.
Ichigo came back just as the fifth trailer started, and shared with her a paper can of coke and also gave her a strawberry sundae with a hamburger. She thanked him and secretly stuffed some of her money into his pocket, wanting to return the favor.
The movie finally started though with ominous music that Momo almost choked on her soda from the shock.
Even though it was just the introduction scene it was already scary and surprising that Momo bit on the straw real hard and held Ichigo's hand real tight, like she was giving birth and she needed to hold someone's hand because of the pain. Ichigo let her do it, and he remembered about his first date with Orihime.
She was more of a coward than Momo was, that she screamed so loud despite the rules and got both her and Ichigo embarrassed though he persevered through it just for her sake.
Ichigo made a small but warm smile at the peach who was too scared to notice, and she covered her mouth with her free hand.
With his free hand he patted her on the head and drew her close, whispering in a low voice that was so gentle, "Hinamori-san, it's going to be okay. It's just a movie with great effects to make it the horror look real. I'm here so don't worry."
Momo still was shocked though she started calming down, just because of Ichigo's words. For the whole movie she held his hand, thanks to him she became less scared of the movie. Ichigo smiled, happy for her.
When the credits already showed, Ichigo and Momo decided to leave, thinking about where to go next. Ichigo thought that the arcade would be a fun place and they went there.
Momo was curious about the game where there is a hammer and heads of alligators popping out and wanted to play it.
Ichigo smiled and let her, watching her hit the alligator heads whenever they're out and when finished she got the score 738. She beat the previous high score which was 642.
They continued playing games in the arcade, shooting some undead vampires, playing electric hockey, trying to hit with the hammer as strong as possible till the light reaches the top, racing other virtual cars, and the last game that they did not play was the Dance Dance Revolution game.
"Ichigo-san, I'm not sure. I am not that fast in dancing and I never played this game before." Momo was afraid that she'd humiliate herself by messing up badly.
"It's alright. If you want we'll start on the Easy level." Ichigo assured, patting her on the head. People nearby thought they were the perfect boyfriend-girlfriend couple though Ichigo nor Momo noticed them thinking that, as they were only noticing each other.
Momo agreed and told him to start on the Hard level already, and he did, wishing her luck. They picked a pop song that sounded was usually used for dancing parties and Momo quickly got the hang of it.
Many people were looking at them, like they were a couple dancing together in the well-known dancing game. They got high scores and Ichigo was higher that Momo though her score was a little close to his.
Then they went to a small diner where they ordered fries, orange juice and fried chicken breast with a slice of oreo cheesecake for each. They ate and talked to each other about a lot of things in the diner, and they were again the center of attention, people staring at them like they were today's headline.
Having enough, they finished off their food, bought ice cream, left the mall and started going home.
"That was fun, wasn't it?" She asked, licking her vanilla ice cream. Ichigo just nodded while eating his double dutch ice cream.
Right when they finished their desert it started pouring really hard, and they didn't have an umbrella with them because it said on the weather channel that it would be perfectly sunny today.
Since Momo's house was nearer they ran there as fast as they could, exhaling from running while being drenched by the tears of the sky at the same time.
"Rangiku-san is not yet home, huh?" Momo panted, unlocking the door. They both went outside and Ichigo tried turning on the lights, though there was a blackout. Since there is a blackout and a heavy rain outside, they are stuck together for a while.
A/N: The next chapter will be about the whole time they spent together while there was still no light and the heavy weather. I hope you review and sorry if I'm horrible in writing how they dated; I never have been on a date before.
