Alright, readers! Are you ready to return to the world of the 'Trans-Human Saga'?
Well, ready or not…here it comes!
GoGo had accepted a date-well, a dinner date. And she was meeting an investor who was looking to put money towards her mag-lev wheel technology. But she had one problem-her evening wear assortment was…'lacking'. And they was only one person who could help her.
So she contacted Honey Lemon-who loved shopping more than anything. And when GoGo asked her to take her to the mall for a new outfit for her diner, Honey was more than enthusiastic to lend her assistance.
However, GoGo realized that accepting her help meant dealing with overbearing but well-meaning questioning. And the first question was, "Are you going on a real date with Hiro?"
GoGo replied, "No, Honey. I accepted a date with an investor."
Honey said, "An investor?" GoGo said, "Yeah. Somehow, he heard about my mag-lev tech, and he wants to meet me for dinner."
Honey said, "And…?" GoGo replied, "Aaaannnd….he wants to discuss funding my project. I could actually see my mag-lev ideas actually implemented into more real-world applications."
They had arrived at the mall, and were now in one of the chic clothing stores. Honey then said, "What about Hiro?"
GoGo replied, "What about Hiro?" Honey sighed, and said, "I'm not sure your boyfriend is going to be keen to hear you going out with some other guy."
GoGo said, "Well, all we're doing is having dinner…he's not asking to sleep with me." Honey chuckled, and said, "Well…that's often how it starts…"
GoGo had tried on several dresses…but nothing seemed to catch her eye. Honey saw a black mini-skirt, and said, "Here, Go. Try this on." GoGo grabbed the article-and put it on. She marveled at how the skirt emphasized her figure. She said, "I like it…but now I need a top."
Honey said, "Already ahead of you!" She passed GoGo a lavender spaghetti-strap blouse. GoGo said, "It's perfect."
After changing back into her regular clothes, Honey helped GoGo pick out some more clothes. Honey said, "OK! How about we hit the food court and grab a drink?"
GoGo said, "Sounds good."
They got their drinks, and sat down. Honey said, "Look, GoGo…I know this dinner date is professional. And I understand your desire to meet someone outside our circle. It's just…"
GoGo said, "It's just…what?"
Honey said, "After the 'Syren' thing…and what happened with Hiro and you…"
GoGo said, "Look, Honey. That was something different…Hiro was under the spell of the 'Syren'. This is just a harmless dinner date-no more."
Honey sighed, realizing that discussing this wouldn't go any further. She could only hope that GoGo was right…
Meanwhile, Hiro was preparing for 'Friday Family Night'. It was his way of spending time with Aunt Cass-especially after he moved out. And he knew Cass needed him more than ever after her ordeal. And he would invite the other members of Big Hero 6-and they provided support for Cass as well.
After getting confirmations from Fred and Wasabi, Hiro called GoGo. When she answered, Hiro was sure she sounded…excited. She said, "Hi, Hiro!"
Hiro said, "Hey, Go. Just wanted to know if you were joining us for 'Friday Family Night'." GoGo replied, "Sorry, Hiro…I'm going to have to take a raincheck. I'm going out."
Hiro said, "Really? You and Honey have plans?"
GoGo replied, "No, Hiro. I'm going out for dinner."
Hiro said, "Really?" GoGo said, "Really. He came into the shop…"
Hiro interrupted, saying, "He? You're going out with another guy?"
GoGo said, "Hiro…please. It's not like that. Look, I've got to go. Honey's going to be over to help with my hair and makeup. TTYL."
Hiro didn't get a chance to say anything, as the call disconnected. And Hiro felt himself thrown into a maelstrom of emotions. There was confusion…anger…even fear…Hiro barely heard the helpful medic-bot Baymax approach him.
"Hiro…I have detected that your emotional indicators are unstable. How would you rate your pain?" Baymax inquired.
Hiro looked at the robot, and replied, "It's a 0, buddy." Baymax said, "The source of your distress stems from your reaction to the phone call you made to GoGo Tomago. Is a relationship issue causing you this emotional distress?"
Hiro said, "No! I mean, just because she's going out on a date with some other guy…"
"Oh! So someone's jealous…" Hiro looked to see his aunt had come into the room. Aunt Cass sat down, and Hiro sat across from her. Hiro said, "I just found out that GoGo is going out with some dude for dinner. She didn't even explain it."
Cass said, "I don't know if you want my advice…I mean, it's been years since I dated…but I know that trying to hem GoGo in won't do either of you any good. Let her do this…and give her a little space."
Hiro sighed…but he knew that if he tried to press GoGo about her date, she'd only get defensive. But had GoGo truly forgiven him? Was this a revenge date?
It was now approaching 6 pm. GoGo looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing her new outfit, and Honey had gave her some makeup-a little blush on her cheeks, and a light lavender shade covered her eyes. It was simple but effective-and GoGo couldn't believe how prettier she looked.
The three knocks on the door signaled the arrival of Ray Frees-the investor who was taking her out to discuss her tech-as well as funding for it. She opened the door-and there he was. He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt with gray dress slacks. He said, "Wow…are you ready?"
She replied, "I am. Let's go!" And Ray escorted GoGo out of her apartment and into the evening…
And so…Chapter 2 comes to a close! GoGo's headed out for her date…and is Hiro getting jealous? Find out next time!
