Kiarra stood in front of the mirror at Ruby's house, doing and redoing her hair and makeup one hundred times. Ruby stood in the door way with a hand on her hip.
"Kiarra you look .zing, stop redoing your hair and makeup."
Kiarra sighed. "I know Ruby, but I want Enrique to think I look gorgeous, and I don't feel pretty right now."
"Obviously he thinks you're gorgeous, he called you beautiful in italian for pete's sake. And he asked you out didn't he?"
Kiarra brightened a bit.
"You're right! I look fine." she said and went to wait for Enrique in the kitchen. There was a knock on the door
"It's him!" Ruby squealed and ran to the door.
Kiarra waited anxiously, wringing her hands.
"Oh hi Mary Margaret." Kiarra heard Ruby say. She sighed a sigh of relief.
Mary Margaret walked into the room and gave Kiarra a hug. They had met a while ago, and Kiarra thought she was the sweetest person ever.
"Hey Kiarra, I just wanted to wish you luck on your date!"
"Thanks." Kiarra said reaching over to give her a hug.
"He's pretty cute, I saw him at the diner yesterday." Mary Margaret said giggling.
" I know he's pretty cute huh?" Kiarra said. Then there was a knock on the door.
There stood Enrique, impeccably dressed with his hair combed back, holding a rose.
He handed it to Kiarra.
"Thank you." she said blushing. He held out his arm and led her out the door.

As they drove around Enrique noticed that there was only one restaurant. Granny's.
"There Arn't any restaurants really, are there?" he said.
"No. But hopefully there'll be one soon." she said sighing dreamily.
"What do you mean?" Enrique said, glancing away from the wheel for a second to look at Kiarra.
"Well, I've always dreamed of opening up my own restaurant." Kiarra said."But I don't have the money. That's why I'm working at Granny's, so I can save up."
"That's a very cool thing, you working so hard for your restaurant." Enrique said smiling at her.
"Thank you." she replied blushing.
They ended up going to the grocery store where they picked out ingredients and went to Enrique's to make there own dinner.
When they got home Enrique unloaded his groceries and looked at Kiarra. I used to have chefs do all the cooking for me, because my father was so rich from beginning his 'King's Kleaning business. My mother never cooked, and I never learned how. So now that they cut me off I have been eating box dinners. I am afraid I wont be much help to you tonight."
"That's alright, I'll just have to teach you." Kiarra said as she put noodles on to boil. And vegetables in a skillet to sauté.
"Here, help me mince some onions for the sauce." Kiarra said putting a knife in Enrique's hand.
"Mince?" he asked lookig confused.
"Here. I'll show you." Kiarra said placing one of her hands over his and showing him how to mince. When he had it mastered he took over the mincing completely and they ended up with an abundance of minced onion.

They had a wonderful evening and Enrique asked to see her again on Wednesday. She agreed, excited to see him again. Unaware of the fact that the next time she saw him, he would be in a coffin.
