A/N: Hello everyone and welcome to the first bonus chapter! I am sorry for the SUPER LATE update… But… Um… I hope you'll enjoy it! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night… Got a little carried away… Sorry fans but I would not review to any reviewers for this chapter or any other later chapters.
Plus… I was rereading my chapters in this story and… I found something that won't make any sense… It's chapter 3 to chapter 4… Um… On chapter 3, the gang stayed at Rua's and Ruka's place but in the beginning of chapter 4, they were back at the garage… Um… Well… They stayed for a couple hours and then decided to go home since… I don't know… Something and yeah… Anyways, enjoy the Christmas gift!
Bonus Chapter 1, Friday Night
Carly nervously waited on her bed. She wore a new light blue dress, her hair was tied up into a ball, and she had her contacts on. Carly was holding a dark blue mini bag thing and had on short high heels (A/N: Does that make any sense?) that matched her dress. Aki and Ruka helped her with all that.
"Don't worry Carly. Jack will love it." Aki said.
"Yeah." Ruka agreed. "Since he changed, he's been an easy going guy."
Carly sat there. "I sure hope so…"
While at the garage house thing…
Jack smiled as he saw his reflection on the mirror. He wore a black T-shirt and a white unzipped jacket. Dark blue jeans and white sneakers. He spun around.
"So? Is it okay?"
Yusei smiled. "She's gonna love it."
"I'm kinda nervous." Jack said, looking in the mirror again. "Since… I heard it's my first date…"
Crow grunted. "You asked her out easily… You can do it."
Jack smiled. "I guess..."
"Got some tips." Crow said. "Any girl likes a guy who's romantic. Just chill out. Act like yourself and then. Bam! Go for it."
"Uh…" Jack looked at Crow. "I don't really know how to be romantic."
Crow just started for a moment. "Just act like yourself. Then get her laughing, be funny. Then… Get her blushing. Then slowly and carefully, lean forward and you should know the rest."
The blond thought about it and blushed. Kiss? "Uh… Then that would be my first kiss…" The he quickly added. "If it goes out right…"
"Don't worry." Crow said. "Like I said before, you asked her out easily, you CAN do it."
Jack nodded. "Right."
"Now go get her, tiger." Rua said and jumped out of his seat and waved wildly to Jack.
"Uh… Okay."
When Jack lefted, Yusei asked. "How did you know all that?"
Crow smirked. "From this bad boy." He held up a book of dating tips.
Yusei laughed. He didn't ask where he got it. He already knew that Crow wanted to go out with a girl but couldn't get anyone.
Jack walked in the cool early evening breeze. He liked it. About a couple minutes of walking, he saw the apartment.
Carly sat there, wondering what would happen if she messed up and made Jack not want her to see her anymore. Aki told her that it won't happen and Ruka agreed.
"But what if."
Aki shook her head. "Carly. You are over thinking it. That's not going to happen."
Ruka sighed. "Come on Carly. You interviewed many people without doing anything wrong."
"But… But now I'm on a date! It's different then interviewing!"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"It's your date." Aki said. "Just act like yourself."
Carly nodded and walked towards the door.
"Good luck!" Ruka said.
Carly smiled. "Alright." She opened the door. There he was, smiling.
"Are you ready?" He asked and offered his arm.
She accepted. "Yup."
When they waved good-bye to Aki and Ruka and disappeared out the door, Aki and Ruka called Yusei and exchanged stories.
Jack took her around the area. "So… Where do you want to go first?"
"I'm not hungry yet. How about we go shopping then get something to eat and finally go to the park." Carly said, imagining her dream date.
The blond smiled. "Sure. Sounds good."
He led the way to the mall. There, it was crowded like usual. But that was the fun part in the mall. She took him to so many different shops and many people watched Carly pulling the former king (who couldn't remember much about being king) around. Little did they know, an hour and a half has past and they were laughing in joy.
"Is that right?" he asked.
Carly nodded. "You wouldn't even smile or screamed when we went on the roller coaster. The hat didn't seem to fall off either. Or the glasses."
Jack laughed. "Now that's amazing. So, where do you wanna eat?"
The girl looked around a bit at the nearest restaurants till she found one that looked liked it fit for dating and couples. She pointed (A/N: POINTING IS RUDE, CARLY!). "How about that one?"
"Sure thing." Jack said and took her over there.
When they opened the door, all eyes were on them. Carly looked embarrass but Jack just walked in freely.
"Table for two." He said to the waiter.
The man nodded and led them to an empty table. They ordered and sat there waiting for their food to arrive.
I've acted like myself… Now time to get her laughing… But how? I'm not funny, am I? Jack was thinking on what he was trying to say. So he just said the funniest things he could think of. Stuff about Crow. Carly laughed and Jack was actually impressed on how good at acting he was. The time pasted by so fast and they didn't notice the waiter placing the food in front of them that they thought the food just suddenly appeared right in front of them.
"Who knew?" Carly said. "Who knew Crow can do such a thing."
They both chuckled. "Don't tell Crow I said it. He's gonna kill me for sure. If he's my servant or not."
Carly giggled. "I promise that."
Laughing… Check… Now time for blushing… They ate quietly and they kept giggling at random thoughts.
"Carly… Can I ask you something?" Jack asked as he sipped some water out of his cup.
"Mhm?" She said and took a sip out of her cup.
"Uh… Why do you like me? Is it my looks? Or personalities?"
Carly turned a bit pink and placed her cup back down. "Well… You're a nice person… You're always honest and kind… And… Um…" She kept thinking making her turn a light red. "You're funny…"
Jack smiled. Blushing… Got it… Now it's time for… Uh… He shook his head out of his crazy thoughts. You can do this Jack… You can do it. "Carly… Thank you."
She was confused (A/N: Or what I like to call it… Cafuzzled). "What? Why?"
"Because… You don't take me because of my looks." He leaned a bit forward. "You take me because of who I am…" He leaned closer and slightly tilts his head. Carly noticed and turn cherry red. "You're not like any of the other people I've seen…" He was incredibly close now. "And I like you because of that." He closed the gap. His eyes closed and her eyes opened, wide. When he released he saw how shocked Carly looked and he turn red. "I'm sorry!"
Carly blinked. "Sorry for what?"
Jack started to act all childish. "I'm sorry! I know you never even expected that! I think it was too soon… We just started dating… I'm sorry for all this! I couldn't help it! I really like you since the day I first met you Carly… I might not be saying this if I was my other self but now I am! But I'm sorry! You don't want to get a kiss from a loser like me!" He hung his head down. "I'm a failure…"
Carly stared. Was it true? He liked her since he saw her? But she didn't think he was a loser or a failure… She actually liked the kiss. "Wrong…"
He looked up. "Huh?"
"I really liked it." She said. "Yeah… I didn't expect that but… It was… I loved it."
"Really?"
She smiled. "Yeah. And… Now you're acting like a small child." He stared at her blankly (A/N: CHIBI JACK STARING BLANKLY! I CAN SOOO IMAGINE THAT!). "I like that."
He smiled. It really did turn out well. "Waiter! Check please!"
They left the restaurant holding hands and very pleased. They walked around the park in the cool breeze.
"It's so relaxing…" Carly said.
Jack nodded in agreement. Today was actually a good day…
Jack walked home after he dropped Carly off of her apartment and kissed, again. He opened the double doors and found his friends all waited for him.
"So…" Aki said. "How did it go?"
"Great." Jack smiled. "It went out perfectly."
Crow smiled. "Did you do it?"
"Yup." He nodded. "Thanks for the advice buddy."
Jack told it from beginning to end (skipping over what made Carly laughed). Everyone thought it was a good first date. First kiss. After Rua and Ruka left with Aki walking them home, Yusei, Crow, and Jack went to bed. Jack just laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. He thought everything was just right at that moment. He smiled and drifted off to a deep sleep.
A/N: Yay! What a great ending huh? They worked out perfectly! I am sorry for the lame chapter and late update… PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I'm innocent… So… Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year! I have winter break now but… I have TONS of projects to do… so… uh… yeah… Please don't expect an update anytime soon but… Please do review! So… Uh… Have a nice day and I'll try my best to update (which I really do doubt).
