Friday night Ken was waiting in the lobby of the restaurant.
He tapped his foot as he took a look at his watch. It's almost 7.
May said she'd meet up with him early so they could discuss some plans. He was still upset with her for making it seem like he was dating her when he really wanted Sora's attention, but he mollified himself with the fact that maybe if he showed Sora how he could treat a girl, then maybe she'll want to go out with him.
The door opened and May stepped in, wearing a nice skirt and top. He blinked upon seeing a woven bracelet around her wrist and a necklace with a pearl. He hadn't been aware that May wore jewelry.
"You're late," he said with a frown.
"Yeah, well, try telling that to the traffic outside." She used her thumb to gesture behind her. "It's crazy out there."
He looked behind her, but he couldn't really see anything. "In any case, I've asked for a table." He sat down on the plush waiting bench and tapped his shoe again. "If it's really that crazy outside, Leon will probably be running late."
"Both of them," she clarified. "Unlike you," she gave him a short glare, "Leon went to go pick up his date."
Ken threw his hands in the air. The plan was already falling apart.
Not yet, he tried to cheer himself up. The night is still young. They're just going to be a little late.

"We're going to be late," Sora mused as she took a look at the clock.
Leon was about to look at her, but then he stopped and looked back at the congested traffic. His date was dressed in a pretty sunny short skirt and a white tank top with a matching sunny cardigan. The cardigan was lacy and he couldn't help but noticed how nice it looked against her tan skin.
"Red light," Sora chirruped.
He quickly hit the breaks.
Sora giggled a little as she was brought forward and then bounced back into her seat with the sudden stop. "That's the fourth time you've nearly ran through a red light or stop sign."
He cleared his throat in embarrassment. He didn't feel like telling her that he had been distracted.
"Why are the streets so crowded?" she asked as she poked her head outside the window.
He made the mistake of looking at her as she leaned over, making her skirt rise up in the back and almost flash him her underwear. He quickly tugged at her arm in an effort to get her to sit down.
However, he had not thought about his action when he made her sit back down nor the angle in which Sora was peeking outside. Thus, when he pulled her to sit, she came back inside but her poor head bumped on the edge of the window, causing her to cry out and put a hand to her head.
"Ouch!"
Leon quickly lifted her hand to see the damage.
A red mark was along the left side of her forehead and as Leon looked he saw that it started to swell. He inwardly winced at what he had caused.
"We should get some ice on that."
The light turned green, but instead of going straight he went to the right, hoping that the shops around here had ice or a cold compress.
"Leon..." Sora started as she noticed something on the road that he didn't, but he was too busy looking at the store names around them that he had not heard. "Leon, there's glass!"
Her hand instinctively shot out to the wheel, inadvertently brushing his hand. As Sora made him swerve around the broken glass, he froze from the sudden contact of her hand on his, making his foot push on the accelerator.
The car shot forward with a new speed.
Sora screamed as she kept swerving the car around things. A cat, a crow, and some little old lady crossing the street were safe thanks to her, but as the car continued moving and Sora couldn't turn the car to the left or the right lest she hit something, she kept it straight.
Unfortunately, there was something straight ahead of them as well. The yellow and happy looking hydrant innocently sat on the sidewalk and directly in their path.
"Break!" She screamed at Leon. "Hit the breaks!"
He finally snapped out of it and slammed his foot on the breaks.
The car squealed as it suddenly breaked and some smoke came from the tires from having stopped from such a high speed. The breaks prevented them from completely crashing, however, there was enough of a force to tip the hydrant over.
Immediately, water spewed out of the broken hydrant.
