Me: Okay, so I don't think I was clear enough with the last chapter question. What is the pattern in the Date Night chapters? So I am going to clarify with a different question: What is the pattern of the Date Night chapters compared to the other two stories?
Chapter Twenty-Three
Date Night pt4
"Otto! Where are you taking me?" Gizmo shouted.
"I can't tell you." Otto answered.
"Oh, come on. Why not?"
"Because…" Otto stopped running. "It's a surprise."
Then he pulled away some bushes and there was a romantic picnic waiting for them.
"Oh…my…gosh. Otto!" Gizmo hugged him. "You did this?"
"Yeah. Pretty…uh…"
"Cool! I gotta say, this really was a surprise."
"You really think so?"
"Yeah! I don't think anyone's ever brought me on a picnic before."
Gizmo ran over and sat down on the picnic blanket.
"Hmmm…Gizmo? This isn't just a picnic you know."
"It's not?"
"No." Otto sat down next to her. "I'd like this to be our date. Our first one…ever. Is that okay?"
"Oh…Wow. Otto, I'm sorry. I didn't realize. It's just…"
"No, no, no. It was not your fault. I wouldn't have realized either. So do you wanna…"
"Uh…Sure." Gizmo put her head on Otto's shoulder. "Thank you."
So they ate and laughed. Gizmo started a grape war after a while. They ran around hitting each other with grapes, and then Otto dropped his and hugged Gizmo from the back so she wouldn't move.
"AH! Otto!"
"Say the word!"
"Never!"
"Alright." Then Otto spun to his back and fell on the ground with Gizmo still in his grip.
"Ah!" Gizmo loosened from his grip and spun on her stomach.
She was going to just pin him down but then she stopped and they lost in each other's eyes. Then they slowly kissed. They sat up, still kissing. Then Gizmo pulled away slowly.
"Uh…um…That was…" Gizmo started.
"Our first kiss…"
"Since Planet Zon."
"Yeah."
"Um…"
"Let's finish the picnic." Gizmo got up and walked back over to the picnic.
Otto ran in front of her. Stopping her by the grabbing her arms.
"Hey, Gizmo? You alright?"
"It's nothing."
"It is something. What?"
"That kiss…it was like…fireworks. I don't know. Let's just finish, come on." Gizmo tried walking around Otto but he caught her arm.
"Gizmo?"
O: I'm no superman/I can't take your hand/And fly you anywhere/You wanna go, yeah/I can't read your mind/Like a billboard sign/And tell you everything/You wanna hear but/I'll be your hero/I, I can be everything you need/If you're the one for me/Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable/I, yeah I believe in destiny/I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul/But if you're the one for me/Then I'll be your hero/(Could you be the one [x3] for me) Then I'll be your hero/(Could you be the one [x3] for me) Then I'll be your hero/Searching high and low/Trying every road/If I see your face/I'll rarely know, yeah/I put my trust in fate/That you will come my way/And if it's right/It's undeniable (yeah)/I'll be your hero/I, I can be everything you need/If you're the one for me/Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable/I, yeah I believe in destiny/I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul/But if you're the one for me/Then I'll be your hero/(Could you be the one [x3] for me) Then I'll be your hero/(Could you be the one [x3] for me) Then I'll be your hero/So incredible/Some kind of miracle/When it's meant to be/I'll become a hero-o/So I'll wait, wait/Wait, wait for you/I'll be your hero/I, I can be everything you need/If you're the one for me/Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable/I, yeah I believe in destiny/I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul/But if you're the one for me/Then I'll be your hero/(Could you be the one [x3] for me) Then I'll be your hero/(Could you be the one [x3] for me) Then I'll be your hero
Through out the song, Gizmo tried walking away but Otto kept pulling her back to him. And then finally Otto got Gizmo in his arms like in the grape war, from behind.
"Please Gizmo. I can't be your hero if your don't tell me what you saving from."
This made Gizmo giggle.
"Alright." Otto let go and Gizmo faced him. "It's just…every time I get near you, I feel like such an idiot!"
"Why?"
"Because…you're funny, smart, brave…"
"You think I'm smart?"
"Yeah. You're so good with technology. More than I could ever be in years."
"Hey, hey, hey. You wanna know something?"
"What?"
"You're smart, funny, and brave too."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I don't think I could get up on a stage by myself and sing or dance in front of a huge crowd."
"But you did. That song you sang for me in the beginning of the summer."
"But that was just you."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now should eat?"
"Sure thing."
They walked back over to the picnic and continued eating. A couple hours later, there were still some grapes left, so Otto laid, eyes closed, on Gizmo's lap and she dropped them into his mouth. Gizmo giggled every time she did. Otto opened one eye and then closed it.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. This is just really romantic."
"That's funny?"
"No. But this is."
Then Gizmo bent over and kissed Otto. After a few moments she slipped from under him and laid on top of Otto. Then a few moments later, she pulled away. But Otto didn't let her, he pulled her back and kissed. After a few more minutes they pulled away from each other and Gizmo sat up, still on Otto.
"I didn't want to do it for that long." Gizmo said.
"Well, I did." Otto was still laying down.
"Oh, you can't get up can you?" Gizmo started to stand up when Otto caught her hands.
"I want you to sit."
"But you can't-"
"It's alright. I still got…" He looked at his watch. "Another hour and a half."
"And then what do you have to do?" Gizmo said sitting back down on Otto.
"You'll see." Gizmo giggled at him again. "Hey, lay on your back."
"What? Why?"
"I wanna watch the stars with you."
"Huh?" Gizmo looked up. "Alright."
So Gizmo got up and laid right next to him.
"They're beautiful, aren't they?" Otto asked.
"Yeah."
"You know what? We were gonna do this back on Planet Zon, remember? We opened the sky light in your hut together."
"Yeah I remember."
*Flashback (Gizmo's P.O.V)*
"Hey! What's this?" He asked, pointing to the handle.
I turned around and stared.
"That's…um…a lever for the…um…skylight." I answered nervously (not making any eye contact) and pointing up toward the ceiling.
Otto looked up at the ceiling and back at me. He didn't speak for a while.
"Neat! Can I open it?" Otto asked happily.
"Um…sure." I answered, shocked. No one's ever asked me that before.
Otto pulled on the handle but it wouldn't budge.
"I think it's stuck." Otto said.
I walked over and pulled it as hard as I could but it still wouldn't budge. So I bent down and looked at the gears. I walked over to my desk and pulled out something like pliers and walked back over to the handle. I bent back down and pulled something out. Then tried pulling it again but it still wouldn't budge.
"Let's both try to pull it, at the same time." I suggested.
Otto just nodded his head and took a hold the handle. I grabbed hold the handle too. My hands were on top of his. I felt something. Something I had never felt before. I stared at Otto for some time before shaking my head.
"Okay, on the count of three. 1...2...3...PULL!" I demanded.
We both pulled on the lever and it budged. The skylight was opened now. We looked at the star lit sky above us and then at each other. Our hands were still on the lever. I pulled away, blushing.
"Oops…sorry." I said not looking at Otto.
Otto was confused and let go of the lever.
*End Flashback*
"You know, that was when I first felt something between us." Gizmo said.
"You did?"
"Yeah. Kinda crazy right?"
"No, not at all."
"Really? Are you just saying that?"
"No, because when our hands touched on that lever I felt something too."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Then why didn't you pay all that much attention to me when we were fixing your robot?"
"I didn't know how you felt, how to tell you, and I had a job to do, get the robot fixed."
"Oh, that's a good point."
"But there wasn't one day that I couldn't believe how I felt about a girl like you. You are my first and only girlfriend and I wanted to tell you first off but I really couldn't because I was always afraid to tell you and then you wouldn't feel the same way."
"But I kept touching your hand and everything. That didn't give you the slightest little hint?"
"Not to me. I mean, no one has ever liked me or get me like you do. But I get why."
"You do?"
"Yeah, it's because they're not you."
"Oh, Otto."
They leaned in for another kiss but Otto saw his watch and saw what time it was. He pulled away and stood up.
"We gotta go! That other thing's gonna start soon! Come on!"
"But the picnic-"
"We'll get it later! Come on!"
