Me: Hey! So the answer to the question is kinda not all that easy. The answer is that if you read the first story the chapters that have the pairs in different huts is the same, sorta, as the date night chapters. It's going by the girls, btw. And happy birthday to Halloween Witch (I know it's late) and Happy Halloween everyone!

Chapter Twenty-Four

Date Night pt5

Melodie was following Antauri close behind as the walked through the woods. The woods were dark and you could barely see your own hand in front of your face. Melodie turned around and the back at where Antauri was but couldn't see him.

"Antauri! Where'd you go?" There was no answer. "Antauri!"

Then a hand grabbed Melodie's. "Ah!" She jumped and got out her ghost claws. Melodie was ready to attack.

"Melodie, wait! It's me." Antauri emerged from the dark.

"Antauri?" She ran and hugged him. "You scared me."

"Sorry."

"It's alright. Can you tell me where in the world we're going?"

"I can do better. I'll show you."

Melodie let go.

"Huh?"

"Come on." Antauri pushed away some bushes and Melodie saw the lake.

It was lit up with water lanterns. And the canoe had lights on it too. It was beautiful. Melodie walked forward and was speechless for a moment and then turned around to say something, but Antauri held a small bouquet of tiger lilies.

"Oh, my. Thank you." Melodie took the bouquet. "What is going on here?"

"How would you like to go a dinner date?"

"Dinner…date? Those in the same sentence? From you, Antauri? Are you feeling alright?" Melodie said while putting a hand to his forehead, playing around.

"I'm fine as long as I know you're safe."

"Same here."

Melodie leaned for a kiss but Antauri pushed away.

"Come on. Let's get on the canoe."

"Alright?" Melodie was confused.

After they got to the center of the huge lake, Antauri got out a box. It was small and wooden, like the one Melodie used back on Planet Zon.

"Here, I made this for you."

"You made something?"

Antauri nodded. Melodie took the box and started opening it. Antauri was nervous and didn't really know what to do or say. Melodie noticed right before she got to the present.

"Antauri?" He looked at her. "Are you sure you're alright? You don't look so good." Melodie touched his head again. "You're burning up. Maybe we should go back to camp."

"No, no. I'm fine."

He tried smiling but he so nervous.

"Antauri? Are you…nervous?"

"Nervous?"

"You are, aren't you?"

"Um…"

"There's nothing to worry about. I'm nervous too."

"You are?"

"Yes. This is our first date. I don't really know what to do."

"You too?" Melodie nodded. "Hmmm…I guess you opened up your present?"

"What?" Melodie looked down. "Oh, no. I haven't yet." Melodie finished opening it and inside was half a heart necklace with the letters G.F on it. It was silver like Antauri. "It's beautiful." She said putting it on.

"And I have this one." Antauri held out the necklace he was wearing. It was the other half with the letters B.F on it. Antauri's was gold like Melodie. Melodie leaned over and connected the two pieces, they fit perfectly.

"Ah!" Melodie stood for too long and fell over on top of Antauri. "Oh I'm sorry. I'll just-Um…I'm stuck."

"What?"

"I'm stuck on the wood. Oops." Melodie tried pulling her arms up but the boat's wood work got stuck in between her parts. "Ow. Ow. Ow."

"Melodie, it's okay. Just stop. Let me…um…" Antauri was getting lost in Melodie's eyes. "Uh…"

Melodie was doing the same thing. After a moment they leaned in for a kiss but what they didn't notice was that the boat was tipping over. Just as they were about to kiss, the boat flipped over.

It took a few minutes but Antauri finally surfaced. He looked around but didn't see Melodie. He called her name, but there wasn't an answer. After a slight second there was a splash behind Antauri. He turned around and saw Melodie.

"Melodie!" He swam over and got her to grab onto the boat. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. I think so. What about you?"

"I'm fine." Antauri kissed Melodie, her unknowingly seeing that coming.

He pulled away gently and slowly. Melodie blushed so red, you'd think she'd faint but she didn't.

"That was…unexpected."

"Sorry. I guess-"

Melodie cut Antauri off by kissing him. After a few moments she let go.

"I'm so glad."

"Me too. Let's get the boat back over."

"Oh right. Here, one…two…three!"

They flipped over the boat so it was right back up, and climbed back in. They sat in the center of the boat and dried off. Afterward, Melodie and Antauri didn't speak. They sat and daydreamed the whole time. Then Melodie couldn't take it anymore. She jumped Antauri and they both laid on the bottom of the boat again. Melodie kissed Antauri and they didn't let go for sometime. After about ten minutes, Melodie got up.

"Sorry. I guess I tripped again."

"It's…alright. Um…Melodie?" Antauri got up. "I have to say I'm sorry about earlier this summer. When I believed those two, Mandarin and Mandra. I really wasn't thinking and I was being a complete block-head, as you would put it, about it. I'm sorry."

"Oh, Antauri. It's alright." Melodie got up from her seat and sat next to Antauri, in the center of the boat, and put one of her hands on top of his hand. "I forgave you. You were just worried about us. It's normal for a relationship. You'll feel jealous, worried, scared, and all those other emotions you wouldn't usually feel."

"Jealous? About what?"

"Well, a few months ago, when we went on that triple date, you were jealous of that boy that talked to me. Remember you came over and put your arm around me and you felt different didn't you? Like you were mad that another boy was talking to me and kissing my hand?"

*Flashback*

They all put their menus back up. No one noticed what was going on until Antauri looked over to her. A boy came over to her and acted sweet to her. He couldn't hear what they were saying but Melodie was giggling and the boy was kissing her hand and acting romantic toward her. That's when Antauri got up from his seat and walked over.

"Hello Melodie. Who's this?" Antauri asked.

"Oh Antauri. This is Evan. We were just talking about you. He heard me singing the other day and thought I was amazing. Isn't that sweet?"

"Well, it's nice to meet the guy of the hour. You have a wonderful girl here. You are one lucky guy, Antauri." Evan said, he had a British accent.

"It's nice to meet you too Evan. And thank you. I think I'm pretty lucky myself. Do you have a girl yourself?"

"Actually, yes. She's right over there." Evan pointed to a girl about his age with long blonde hair and blue eyes. "Her name's Michele."

"Oh, she looks so cute Evan. Well, we better get back to our table and eat. It was nice meeting you." Melodie said quickly.

Then she started pushing Antauri away.

*End Flashback*

"Remember I said I pushed you away because something didn't feel right about him?"

"Yes?"

"It was you I didn't want there. You were jealous."

"Was not."

"Were too."

"Was not!"

"Were too!…Oh no."

"What?"

"I think we're turning into Chiro and Carbon." Melodie started giggling.

"I guess so." Antauri giggled. Then he looked at the watch. "Oh it's late! We gotta go." Antauri started rowing back to the shore and got out. "Come on!"

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."
