I have returned, my friends!

And now the chapter you've all waited patiently for: The First Date!

At team RWBY's dorm, the girls were relaxing, after a long first week of school. It was Friday, which meant that they could relax for a couple days.

Blake was currently reading a book on her bed.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" Yang said, chipperly. At the door, was Darrel.

"Oh hey, Darrel." Yang greeted him.

"Sup, Goldenlocks." Darrel greeted her. "May I come in?" he asked. Yang let him in.

"So Darrel, what brings you to our dorm?" Ruby inquired.

"Well, I actually to talk to Blake." Darrel said.

Blake lifted her head up from her book when she heard this. "What for, Darrel?" Blake asked.

Darrel simply walked out, with Blake following him. Afterwards, she closed the door.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Blake asked to her boyfriend.

"It regards our date. We are having lunch at a Greek-café tomorrow at noon. Afterwards, a simple walk in the park. As for attire, just wear what you normally wear." Darrel explained how their date would go. "Is that a good plan, Blake?" Darrel asked.

"That sounds like a lovely date, dear." Blake said, pleased with how it sounded.

After a quick kiss, the two departed.

Blake entered her dorm and was bombarded with questions form her team. "How much did you hear?" Blake inquired, slightly annoyed.

"Everything. We knew that both of you liked each other." Ruby said.

"Ladies, prepare Blake for her first date." Yang said to Ruby and Weiss.

"Guys, my date isn't until tomorrow. All of you are taking this too seriously." Blake 'complained.'

"We're taking this the right amount of seriousness! We want you to look good for your first date." Ruby said as Yang pulled Blake to a desk and sat her down.

Blake was subjected to whatever 'torment' Yang wanted to do.

Meanwhile, Darrel was at the greenhouse located at Beacon. He is currently going through the floral section.

"I need to find the perfect flower." Darrel said to himself. He saw various flowers, but there was one in particular: a black iris.

Eventually, he found a good one, grabbed it, and exited the building.

The day had come: Saturday. The day progressed slowly until it was 11:45, which is when Darrel would take Blake out on their first date. Darrel walked out of his dorm and opened up RWBY's door, feeling like a nervous wreck.

He was greeted by Yang, "Hey, Darrel! Blake is finishing up, so you'll have to wait." Yang greeted him and also told him about Blake's whereabouts.

Blake emerged from the bathroom. She was still in her usual attire, but there was more volume to her eyeshadow, and she was wearing violet lipstick. Darrel smiled at her appearance, when in his mind, he was grinning like an idiot, howling, tongue out, drooling, and thumping his foot on the ground.

"You look great." Darrel complimented her. "You look great as well, Darrel."

"I got something for ya." Darrel said while pulling out the black iris he got. Blake had her hands over her lips and her eyes widened in wonder. "Oh, Darrel, its lovely!" Blake exclaimed. Darrel handed her the flower. She sniffed it and then placed it in her hair.

"Shall we get going?" Darrel said holding his hand out. "We shall." Blake said, grabbing his hand and the couple walked out of the dorm, with the rest of team RWBY waving them goodbye and to have fun.

The two took an airship to a landing platform and docked. The two then started walking to the Greek café, Zeus's skyline. The two entered the restaurant. Besides the two, there were a few other patrons there as well.

"Welcome to Zeus's skyline. How may I help you?" a waiter greeted them and asked. "Table for 2, please." Darrel said. "Right this way, please." The waiter instructed. The two headed for a table with two seats. The pair sat down and waited for some to come.

Eventually, a waitresses came. "Hey, Darrel!" a female waitress came up to their table. "Hey, Janet!" Darrel greeted her. "You know this waitress, Darrel?" Blake asked. "Know her? She's my cousin!" Darrel said. "So who is this lovely lady?" Janet inquired. "This is Blake, my girlfriend" Darrel clarified.

"Well now shall we get you anything?" Janet asked.

"I'll have a frappe." Darrel said. "I'll have a frappe as well." Blake said. "Two frappes." Janet said before walking off to where the kitchen was.

Eventually, Janet came with their two frappes. "Are the two of you ready to order?" Janet asked.

"I'll have my usual gyro." Darrel said. "I'll have the safridia." Blake said. ( Safridia is basically fried mackerel.)

While they waited for their food to come, Blake asked Darrel what other interests he had.

"Well besides reading, I'm also a good singer, I've dabbled in dancing, I'm a good writer, and I'm an exceptional artist. I'm a really great guy." Darrel explained.

"Do you have any family members?" Blake asked.

"Besides my mom and dad, I have one sibling: a baby sister, only 2 months old. Her name is Catherine." Darrel said while also talking about his baby sister in a soft voice. He pulled out his wallet and opened it up, revealing a picture of him holding a baby that had light peach skin and black hair that was wrapped in a blanket. The picture was in a small storage compartment.

"Your baby sister is so cute!" Blake said in a cute voice. "Yeah, she's one of the reasons why I became a hunter: to protect her from harm." Darrel said in a comforting manner. "Your sister is lucky to have big brother like you." Blake said comfortingly.

"Besides the family I live with, I have a plethora of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all over Remnant." Darrel said.

Eventually, their food came. Blake was astonished on how fast he ate his meal. "How can you eat so fast?" Blake asked. "Simple: I have a high metabolism." Darrel said, bluntly.

Just when they had paid, Janet asked, "Hey Darrel, want to sing?" Janet said in a joking manner. Darrel looked over to Blake and her face screamed 'please for me' "I'll do it." Darrel said. "Play my regular." Darrel said to Janet, who went to the radio area and started up Radioactive.

Whoa, oh, oh

Whoa

I'm waking up to ash and dust

I wipe my brow and sweat in my rust

I'm breathing in the chemical *inhale, exhale*

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

This is it the apocalypse

Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in bones

Enough to make my system blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flag and dye my clothes

It's a revolution, I suppose

We're painted red to fit right in

Whoa

I'm breaking in shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus

This is it the apocalypse

Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my system blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died

Deep in my bones, straight from inside

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones

Enough to make my system blow

Welcome to the new age, to the new age

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive" Darrel concluded his song and the patrons applauded and Darrel bowed before stepping down and heading back to his table.

"You're incredible! It's like you were basically the same guy singing it!" Blake congratulated him and also kissed him. "Eh, I know the song by heart." Darrel said. Blake and Darrel paid for their meal. And began walking for the park.

They arrived at the park and walked for a bit, holding hands with Blake resting her head on his shoulder 'This has been the best date ever! But, I should tell him the truth about me' Blake thought. "Darrel, there is something I need to tell you." Blake said, worryingly.

"What is it?" Darrel said, concerned.

Unfortunately, before she could speak, they were jumped by a pair of men. One thug had a knife at Darrel's throat and the other held a pistol at Blake's temple. Another man walked towards the four.

"Good job, boys. You got the jump on them." The man said.

"Who the heck do you think you are?!" Darrel exclaimed, spitting venom.

"The name's Bruce." The man known as Bruce introduced himself. "That's Butch," pointing at the one restraining Blake, "and that's Brad." Pointing at the one restraining Darrel.

"What do you three palookas want?!" Darrel practically screamed, still spitting venom. "Well you see, my higher ups want you… alive." Bruce said in a demanding voice.

"Tell you what, how about a battle? If I win you leave and tell your boss how badly you failed. And if you win, do want you want." Darrel said.

"Very well then. Boys, let them go." Bruce agreed to his terms and told his men to let them go.

Darrel smirked "Big mistake."

"Terrible claw." Darrel proclaimed.

He began to convulse in pain. His body grew a little smaller. His head became more triangular and longer. Emerging from his jaws, were rows of small yet razor sharp teeth. His neck became more S-shaped. His arms became slightly longer. Two of his fingers vanished, and the three that remained grew sharp claws. His legs became more muscular. One toe vanished, one became a hallux, and the three that remained grew sharp claws, with the now second claw being eight inches long. Emerging from his posterior, was a long tail that came to a stiffened end. Emerging from his head, neck, arms, parts of his body, legs and tail, were a series of thin quill-like blue feathers. His body had black scales on top, blue scales around his eyes, and white scales on the bottom. To top things off, his eyes were yellow with black slits

Darrel was now a six feet tall, eleven feet long, 150 pound Deinonychus. Darrel let out a classic raptorial shriek (Think Jurassic Park Raptors.)

Blake gave the men a glare that screamed 'you're dead'. The men were scared and also stunned. They remember watching movies on what raptors could do to a man. And now, the men think, 'I think I soiled myself'.

"You. Will DIE!" Darrel shrieked before his body glowed black and he teleported away.

"Find that dino!" Bruce commanded his lackeys. Unaware, Darrel had teleported to a raised rock ledge that was directly above them.

Darrel was at the edge of the rock and selected his target: Butch. Darrel leaped from the rock ledge and landed directly on top of him, breaking his back and neck, killing him. Brad however, had a worse death: Darrel simply struck his foot out and his killing claw slit his throat. Bruce began to flee until Darrel unveiled his ranged attack. A red glow lit up the back of his throat. He pointed his mouth at Bruce and fired a volley of red energy shurikens. The shurikens pinned him to a tree. Bruce squirmed, trying to free himself. Darrel walked right up to the man, and using his hand claws, held him up by his shirt, the energy shruikens faded away.

Listen here, douche-bag. Tell your boss if they want me, they better do it their selves." Darrel said in a threatening manner. "Now get out of my sight before I make mincemeat out of yous." Darrel said with venom. Darrel released Bruce and he bolted off.

Darrel convulsed in pain and was now back to his old self again.

Blake ran up to him and wrapped him in a passionate kiss. "Thank you for saving us." Blake congratulated him.

"So, what did you want to tell me before we 'got jumped'?" Darrel inquired.

"Can you keep a secret?" Blake asked. Darrel simply nodded.

Blake looked around and moved her hands to her bow. She began unraveling her bow and when the bow was gone, in its place is a pair of… cat ears.

Darrel simply smiled and wrapped his girlfriend in a passionate kiss.

"You aren't ashamed of having a Faunus as your girlfriend?" Blake asked.

"Not at all. Who cares what everyone thinks. To me, what's going on between Man-in general, and Faunus-in general is nothing but straight up racism, discrimination and downright ridiculous. So what you have cat ears or someone else has wings, or horns, or a tail, or wings? All I care about is what's on the inside that matters." Darrel explained. His thoughts about the hatred that most Faunus get and his thoughts on Faunus kind. "Besides, they look kind of cute on you." Darrel said while also gently rubbing the back of her ears, making her giggle a little bit.

"I love you, Blake" Darrel said. "I love you too, Darrel." Blake said. The two wrapped each other in a passionate kiss and headed back to the where the airships dock.

At an abandoned warehouse…

Bruce returned from his failed attempt of trying to capture Darrel.

"Sir, I've failed you." Bruce said in a deflated tone while kneeling down on one knee with a fist also down, his head dipped in submission.

"What do you mean by 'failed'?!" a shrill shrieking female voice was heard.

"The target defeated me and killed the other two operatives." Bruce said dejectedly.

"Then I'm afraid, Mr. Parker, that you're work with us is terminated!" the female voice shrieked.

The last thing Bruce saw was a glowing yellow eye before a creature leapt out of the shadows and ripped him to shreds.

Standing over his body, was a Deinonychus that resembled Darrel's version, except that the blue scales around the eyes were red.

Another figure emerged from the shadows. This being… was Cinder Fall.

"It appears we have to up the ante, dear sister." Cinder said in her usual villain voice.

The Raptor convulsed in pain and the raptor was none other than… Amy Fall. "You're right, Cinder." Amy said, a little dejected. "Don't worry, your revenge will come… soon." Cinder said, trying to comfort her sister.

"Perhaps we could send out the Weapon?" Amy said in a curious manner.

"Perhaps." Cinder said.

Talk about a chapter that is both romantic almost all the way through and mysterious at the end!

So onto the next chapter:

Here is where I'm conflicted: I have three ideas, but I'm not sure which to choose. The ideas are:

A. Parent-Teacher conferences

B. Ozpin sends Darrel on a solo mission to guard a Schnee Dust Company train from being robbed by the White Fang (as well as fighting the weapon, which I won't spoil for ya)

C. Do the Jaunedice and Forever Fall chaps

Which should I do? You guys decide

Until then, R&R my friends!
