A/N I ment to put this up earlier today but my computer decided not to work, please enjoy.

I get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Bonnie knows I like her. What if she doesn't like me? She smiles at me. Her eyes soften, as to say 'I'm so glad I found you.'

Bonnie says, "I need to tell you something."

I say, "What?"

She says, "I like you, I always have I just never had the guts to tell you."

A smile grows on my face, but immediately disappears. I think about my last relationship; I think of Ash.

Bonnie's eye's fill with fear and she says, "Are you OK?"

I don't want to worry her, so I say, "Yeah, I'm just thinking of… my dad."

"Would you like to come for dinner with me at the Candy Castle?"

"Sure."

Since the café is empty, I decide to make Bonnie and myself tea. I give Bonnie her tea and she sits at a table. I go and sit next to her.

Bonnie says, "Don't you have to work?"

I say, a bit agitated, "One, you and me are the only people in here. Two, I've been sweeping all day."

She almost yells, "That doesn't mean you get off work!"

I get up and yell, "I thought we could have a conversation before I get back to work!"

Finn comes in and says, "Stop fighting."

I say to Bonnie, "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you."

She says, "It is OK, I started it."

Finn says, shocked, "What's going on? You guys never make up that easy."

I simply say, "It's different this time."

After work I go to my closet in search of suitable clothes for my date. All the clothes I find are not date worthy. I decide the best thing is my no-smoking shirt, even though it's short sleeve, and a pair of jeans. Before I change, I go sit on my bed to think. Schwabl comes into my room and sits on my bed with me.

I say to him, "I wish I had something nice to wear to my date."

He gets up and leaves, he comes back with a blue piece of clothing in his mouth.

I say to him, "What do you have, Schwabl?"

Schwabl drops it on my lap. I lift it up to see it is a dress.

The dress gets darker towards the bottom; it has a teal belt and long sleeves to cover my arms. I put the dress on; perfect fit.

I ask Schwabl, "Where did you get this?," He stares at me, guilt in his eyes, "Well we will worry about that later."

I check the time; its 4:30. I put my hair in a ponytail then head out the door.

I get to the castle and I knock on the door. Peppermint Butler answers the door and I go inside.

I ask, "Where's Bonnie?"

He says, "In her lab."

I head to Bonnie's lab. I open the door to see Bonnie trying to put out a fire and yelling, "No no no!" I start to laugh. She looks at me than to a clock.

She puts out the fire and says, "Sorry."

She leads me to a dinning room.

She says, "Sorry, I'm not ready. I was working on a gravity disrupter."

I say, a bit confused, "A what?"

"A flotation device."

"Why?"

"Uh, no reason. I'll be back in a bit. Make yourself at home," She leaves.

I sit down. A while later, Bonnie comes back, wearing a nice dress. The dress is a sleeveless, white gladiator dress. Her hair is up in a ponytail, two bits of hair out in front in perfect curls.

"Wow," I say when she walks in, "You look amazing."

She smiles than says, "So do you. Where did you get that dress?"

"Schwabl gave it to me, I don't know where he got it."

"Schwabl?"

"Schwabl is my zombie poodle."

"I know where he got the dress."

"Where?"

"It's mine, it has been missing for a few weeks."

"Oh, you can have it back."

"No, you keep it. It looks better on you than it ever did on me."

"Thank you."

Peppermint Butler comes in and puts spaghetti on our plates. Mine has a lot of red sauce. I drink the red from it, ignoring that I'm a bit allergic to tomatoes.

After dinner Bonnie and me are sitting on her balcony.

She says, "This was fun."

She leans closer to me, just like in my dream. She is about to kiss me. I back away.

She says, "I'm sorry, I should not push you out of your comfort zone."

I say, "It's not that. I just… not now, I'm not ready, not yet. Maybe next time. I need to go home."
