A/N This chapter is a filler and that means no AusHun you guys. D': I'm sorry! Dx But the next chapter will be filled with it and a couple of surprises too! ;D On to the story! :D

Elizabeta watched as Madeline worked. There was something different about her but; she couldn't find what it was. The smile on her face was there as usual, but it was something different about it. Not different in a bad way but different as in her smile was there for more than her usual reason of why it was there. Madeline's aura seemed…brighter today. As if it glowed of some sorts. 'Yes, glowing. That's what I was looking of.' Elizabeta thought.

"Lizzie, why do you keep staring at me like that? It's creeping me out." Madeline said, throwing Elizabeta's train of thought off its tracks.

"Sorry, it's just that, you're glowing more than the sun. Was your date with Antonio that amazing?" Elizabeta asked.

"Like I said, best night ever." Madeline said.

"Care to tell me about it then?" Elizabeta asked.

Madeline looked at the clock and turned back to Elizabeta. "Well it's my break so why not?" She said and sat down at the same table as Elizabeta and told the story of last night.

Flashback

After they left The Shadow's, Antonio and Madeline walked to Antonio's car.

"You know, I really do like your hair, it's beautiful. I don't see why you always keep it covered with your snazzy berets." Antonio said once in the car.

Madeline couldn't help herself, she giggled. "I'm sorry; it's just that you are about the 4th person that says 'snazzy'."

Antonio smiled himself. "Well 'snazzy' isn't a word that first pops into peoples mind that often, but it does for me."

"I fell the same way." Madeline said.

The conversation didn't stop the whole ride. And with the subject changing about every minute, how could it?

Antonio ended up taking her to a lovely Italian restaurant, because he remembered her telling him that Italian was her favorite.

"Table for the lovely couple before me?" The host asked.

Antonio simply nodded and the host led the two to a table.

Madeline tried her hardest not to blush. Do they really look like a couple? Maybe it was true. Then again, their arms were looped together, and Madeline thought that she and Antonio looked extremely cute together, so maybe they really did look like a couple. However, they weren't boyfriend/girlfriend, but they were out on a date. 'Ok, maybe I'm just over thinking it.' Madeline thought.

The man gave them their menus, "I'll have someone with you in a moment." He said and walked off.

True to his word, a young, pretty waitress soon appeared before them. She couldn't be over the age of 21, but then again, what did Madeline know? She was only 24. However, the word 'pretty' was defiantly the best word to use to describe her. She was tall and had caramel colored skin. She was a curly haired brunette girl, but her curly brunette hair wasn't down. It was in curly ponytails, bounded by two red ribbons.

'She would look much prettier if she didn't look so nervous.' Madeline thought. She started to wonder why she looked so nervous. The crazy thing about it was that although, she didn't look familiar, her expression did. Why did her expression look so familiar?

"Hello, my name is Michelle, and I'll be serving you tonight. First let's start with drinks, have we decided yet?" The waitress asked.

"Madeline you can go first." Antonio said.

"Ok can I get a Lemonade, please?" Madeline asked.

Michelle wrote it down and gestured to Antonio. "And for you, sir?"

"A Sweet Tea would be fine, thank you."

"Alright, ill be right back with your drinks." And with that, Michelle headed off to get their drinks.

Madeline shivered as she looked over the menu. It was a little cold in the restaurant.

"Are you cold?" Antonio asked as he reached for his jacket.

Madeline looked up at him. "I'm ok, thank you." She said but didn't stop shivering.

"But you're still shivering." Antonio said smiling.

"Ok, maybe I am a little cold." She said sheepishly.

Antonio slipped off his jacket and walked over Madeline to drape it over her solders.

"Better?" He asked before he sat back down.

Madeline nodded. "Thanks."

"No problem."

Soon, Michelle came back with the drinks, but she accidentally switched the order, giving Antonio Lemonade and Madeline Sweet Tea.

Michelle sighed and hung her head. "That isn't right is it?"

"Right drinks." Antonio said as he reached over for his Sweet Tea.

"Wrong person." Madeline finished as she reached for Lemonade, and then they both drunk their drinks happily.

"Sorry about that you guys. Now, does anyone want any appetizers or do you want to order now?" Michelle asked.

"I don't mind being appetizer-less. What about you Antonio?" Madeline asked.

"I'm not really up for an appetizer either, so I guess we can order now."

"Ok, so I guess we start with the lovely lady again?" Michelle asked.

Antonio nodded.

"Okay, well can I have the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with the Shrimp and sauce in the side?"

"Sure thing, and for you sir?"

"Can I have the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo?"

"Alright, is that it?"

Madeline and Antonio nodded.

"Ok." And with that, Michelle walked off to place the order.

"Um, Antonio? I know your touring and all, but why did you choose Hungary to tour?"

Antonio laughed quietly. "Well actually touring all of Europe is on my bucket list. So what I did was put all of the countries in Europe in a hat, and I pulled out Hungary. Now, here I am. And, if you don't mind me asking, why are you in Hungary?"

Madeline smiled sheepishly. "It's kind of a weird story. You see, when I was about to graduate high school, I really didn't want to go to college."

"Why not?" Antonio asked.

"Because cocky Madeline thought she was too smart for more school. That, since she's had straight A's all her life, and wrote pretty poetry, school was the least of her worries."

"Well, what happened?"

"My parents got all over my case about it. We argued for days about it, but in the end, I caved in and went to University here for four years. The only reason why I went to University in Hungary was because it was far away from my parents." She said with a small laugh.

"What did you major in?"

"English. I should really get a real job after sitting on a Masters for four years. Not that being a waitress at The Shadows is bad or anything; I love Boss, and Roderich and Lizzie and meeting new people everyday. But, I think it's about time I put my degree to good use, you know?"

Antonio nodded. "I see what you mean."

"I'm sorry, I'm telling you some life story, and I'm barely even letting you talk."

"No, no, it's fine, really. I was actually enjoying your life story." Antonio said waving it off.

"I find that hard to believe. Most of the times, I fell like I bore people with my life story. Do you mind telling me a little about your life?" Madeline asked.

"Well, where do you want me to start?"

"Um, how was your relationship with your parents?"

"Bittersweet I suppose. My parents always got me things to distract me from the fact that they were always out working, trying to make ends meet. But, gifts and such could never replace a mother and father's love."

"Well, what did you do when it was time for you to head off to University?"

"I went to University in Spain, and majored in Culinary Arts. In the end, it all paid off because I am now the head chef at a five-star restaurant in Spain." He said with a proud smile.

Madeline smiled. "You're a chef?"

"Yeah, I started out a Roundsman, and worked my way up."

Michelle came back a couple of minutes later. She had the large serving tray of food in one hand and the stand to set the tray on in the other. While she was trying to open the stand, she didn't know that one of the plates of food were about to slip off. But when she finally got the stand open, it snapped open, making everything on the tray jerk backwards and the first thing that slipped down Madeline's back and in her hair, was her Alfredo sauce and shrimp. The bowel fell down between he back and the chair. Just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, the plate of warm fettuccine noodles fell on her head, and then the plate fell to the floor and crashed.

Michelle looked horror stricken ".God. I am sooo sorry miss. I should have paid closer attention to what I was doing, please forgive me." She said after she put the tray on the stand down.

"Madeline, are you ok? A-Are you hurt in any way, shape, or form?" Antonio asked.

"I'm fine. Miss. Michelle, do you mind getting some more napkins for me?" Madeline mumbled as she picked a noodle from her hair.

"N-Not at all." Michelle said as she set Antonio's food in front of him. She quickly closed up the stand and grabbed the tray.

"I'll put in your order again and then have some one clean up this mess." She said a little flatly.

Even after she walked off, Madeline continued to pick out some of the pasta in her hair.

As Antonio watched her, he couldn't help but smile. "You know, even though you have pasta amd sauce mixed all through your hair, you still manage to look very beautiful."

"Thank you, that was very sweet of you. I just hate the fact that your jacket is ruined." She said and grabbed the bowel behind her.

"Oh I don't mind at all. If it wasn't for my jacket, you could have been badly burned."

He was right about that. The sauce was a little bit warm even with the jacket on, God knows how badly she would have been burned.

"Gee, it sure is taking Michelle a long time to come back with those napkins. I think I'll just finish cleaning up in the bathroom. Excuse me."She said getting up from her seat. She took off the jacket and hung it around the seat. Then she walked off to the bathroom.

When she got there she was surprised to see Michelle next to the sink crying her eyes out.

"Michelle?" Madeline called quietly.

Michelle looked up and wiped her face. "I'm sorry, I forgot your napkins. I'll have them ready for you before you get back to your table." She said. As she tried to walk pass her, Madeline grabbed her arm.

"It's fine. If you need someone to talk too, we can do that right now."

Madeline discovered that while she was cleaning the rest of the pasta and Alfredo sauce out of her hair, that Michelle was a waitress that literally just started her job. As in, she and Antonio were the very first she's ever worked with. She was nervous and worried because it was such a nice restaurant and she would really hate to do just that. But instead, that's ^exactly^ what she ended up doing. Madeline simply smiled, placed her hands on her shoulders and said,

"Don't worry; I was in your shoes once. I'm a waitress too, and my first day was horrible. I spilled coffee, forgot orders, tripped over almost every single chair there, and so much more. But my boss told me that tomorrow is a new day and that practice makes permanent."

"Doesn't he mean perfect?" Michelle asked.

"Nope. He goes by that nothing's perfect except for him, but he's just kidding around when he says that… I think."

Michelle giggled. "Your boss seems pretty neat, unlike my boss. All he does is yell at people and frown. Where do you work?"

"At The Shadow's Café."

"Sorry, never herd of it."

"Not many people have, but it's a pretty cool place to me. If this job doesn't work out, you can always come and work there. Besides, I'm pretty sure boss would love you."Madeline said and pulled a card out of her purse.

"Thank you. You're very kind." Michelle said and slipped the card in her pocket.

"By the way, I'm Madeline, Madeline Benoit." Madeline extended a hand.

Michelle took it and shook it. "Michelle Friar it's a pleasure meeting you."

"You too. Now, I should be getting back, I don't want Antonio thinking that I ran out on him." And with that, Madeline finished fixing her hair, washed her hands and left.

Back at the table, the broken china, pasta, and everything else that fell to the floor was cleaned up. Her new order was sitting on the table as well as a refill on her Lemonade.

"Sorry I took so long." She said and sat down.

"It's ok. Well, on the brightside, your food came back."

Michelle came back with the checkbook in her hands. "I talked to my boss, and there was yelling and a whole lot of frowning, but in the end I got him to agree with a complementary dinner. However, he did say you had to pay for the drinks which I found to be very petty, but it's his orders." And with that, she left the checkbook on the table.

Antonio took the check off the table and looked at it. "2.10. Not bad at all." He said with a smile.

Madeline smiled back then shyly asked, "Is it ok if I tip?"

"Sure, if you really want to, then I don't mind."

"Good." She said and took a 10 out her purse and placed it on the table.

'No wonder she wanted to tip. She wanted to over tip her.' Antonio thought. "Ready to go?" He asked as he pulled a 5 out his pocket and put it in the check.

"Yeah, we can go." Madeline got up and so did Antonio, they walked out the door once again, with their arms looped together.

"Well since it's only 10," Antonio started once they were back in the car, "What's something you want to do?"

Madeline thought about it and then she smiled. "If I tell you, then you got to swear not to laugh."

"Ok, I won't."

"Ok, I was wondering if we could find a flower shop, buy a bouquet of flowers and give them to people in the city if they look like they need a little pick-me-up."

"That's not a bad idea. We could try it."

"Really? And I know where a flower shop is too." Madeline said.

Antonio started up the car and Madeline gave him directions to a flower shop in Budapest. They parked the car and bought two dozens of flowers. When they came out the shop, their mission began. They walked down streets, and handed out flowers to people that might have walked with their heads down or casually walking and not expecting a nice couple to give them a flower. Some people actually stayed around for a good few minutes to talk to them, while others accepted the flower with a small smile and they went on their way. Every time they found someone, they would say: 'this is for you, a pretty flower for a special person.'. But what they enjoyed the most about all of this was making others day, despite the fact that the day was almost over.

"I think we did pretty good. Everyone seemed so nice and happy." Madeline said as they walked back to the car.

"Yeah, but we still have a flower left." Antonio said.

Madeline took the flower out if his hand and happily said, "This is for you, a pretty flower for a special person."

Antonio took the flower, which was a Red Spider Lily, and smiled. "I was not expecting this at all, for it made my day. Gracias." he said.

When they got back to the car, Antonio place the flower stem pressed between the sun visor and roof and the rest of the flower hung lazily off to the side.

Antonio escorted Madeline up to her apartment home, 7C.

"I had an amazing time Antonio, you are quite the gentleman. Thank you." Madeline said as she fished out her keys.

Antonio gave her that goofy grin of his. "Well I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I had a wonderful time myself."

"Maybe we could do this again." Madeline said softly as she leaned close to him and looked up into his eyes.

Antonio leaned close to her and looked at her in the eyes also. "Yes, maybe we should."

Then, Antonio leaned down to her and softly kissed her on the lips.

When the kiss broke, the both of them were blushing.

"Have a good night Madeline." He said as he turned to walk away.

"Have a good night Antonio." Madeline said quietly, and opened the door to her apartment.

"Well you really did have some night didn't you?" Elizabeta asked.

Madeline simply nodded.
