Hakuryuu and Morgiana had a standing date every Saturday. This week they were going to a small park that was hidden away in the city. It was filled with flowers and there were almost never people there.

Alibaba and finally asked Kougyoku out on an actual date earlier in the week. It had gone well, really well. So, Saturday Alibaba was taking her to a beautiful little hideaway he and Aladdin had found a few years before. He picked her up early in the morning. They got donuts together and made their way to the little park filled with flowers. It was beautiful. The morning was cold but the sun was out. They sat down on a blanket in the middle of one of the flower fields. Alibaba picked up several flowers and wove them together into a flower crown, which he placed on Kougyoku's head. She giggled. They ate donuts and talked about their weeks, teasing each other and joking back and forth.

Hakuryuu and Morgiana jogged from Morgiana's apartment to the little park. When they got there they were out of breath and panting. Hakuryuu sat down on the grass and patted the ground beside him for Morgiana to join him. She sat down at first but quickly changed to a position of lying down and gazing at the clouds. Slowly their breathing evened out and they began their usual routine. Rather then go out to dinner or to see a movie they had chosen an early morning workout to do together today. Not a very traditional kind of date, but both of them were very active and committed to their sports. Morgiana and Hakuryuu both practiced martial arts so practicing together was fun.

Kougyoku wanted to move towards the music side of the industry. She told Alibaba about her current difficulty writing the music to the song she wanted to sing and he offered to help her with it later. Her face brightened when she smiled. No one she had talked to or asked had been willing to help her. She turned when she saw a familiar red head.

"Is that Morgiana?"

"Morgiana? I don't think so. Where?"

"Over by the two big trees over there. Can you see them? Yeah, I'm almost positive that is Morgiana…and Hakuryuu?"

"You're right it is them. Are they working out? It looks like they are practicing. Should we go say hi?"

"I don't know. I don't think we should interrupt them but it would be rude not to greet them."

They didn't have to think about it. "Alibaba! Kougyoku! What are you doing here?"

"Hey Morgiana. We were just hanging out. What about you?"

"Hakuryuu and I were practicing. What are you doing here Alibaba?"

"Kougyoku I thought you were going to work on the song you wrote today, what happened?"

"Alibaba is going to help me! We were just hanging out before we do any work. I didn't really feel like working on the song when I woke up this morning so we came out here instead."

"Oh okay. Well, Morgiana and I were going to head out and go downtown. Do you two want to come?"

"Umm, Alibaba and I were going to go to the Saturday Market. What do you think Alibaba?"

"I'm okay with whatever. You decide."

"I guess we will come then."

They went together. Alibaba still wasn't sure how to handle Morgiana and Hakuryuu together as a couple. He tried to act normal but he had the feeling he was being a little strange. The two of them seemed perfectly fine though, like nothing had changed at all. The only difference was the occasional handholding. It wasn't like them being together bothered Alibaba, he just wasn't sure what was appropriate.

Kougyoku stuck close to Alibaba, her shoulder touching his the entire time. She wanted to hold his hand but she was to nervous to do it so she just waited, hoping he would make the first move. They all walked towards the market. There weren't many people out because of the cold. It wasn't raining today but the clouds had moved to cover the sun. It took almost half an hour to get to the site.

Kougyoku was happy. She never got to go to the Saturday market because her brothers didn't think it was appropriate for her to go alone, they wouldn't go with her, and she didn't have many other friends. Kouha had offered to go with her once but then the Al Thamen had insisted the whole family go to that stupid movie shoot. The thought of that movie was horribly aggravating.

She was looking at one of the stands when she felt something warm wrap around her hand. She looked down and then up to see that the hand holding hers was attached to a slightly blushing Alibaba. She grinned then looked around. She pulled him towards a stand that caught her eye. It was full of jewelry. Alibaba watched her eyes sparkle when she looked at a particular necklace. He pointed at the necklace and paid for it while Kougyoku talked to Morgiana about the earrings she was looking at. He pulled his hand away from hers and put the necklace on her. She looked down in surprise then looked at him. She blushed then kissed him on the cheek before taking his hand in hers again and pulling him towards the next stand.

Morgiana and Hakuryuu followed along with Kougyoku and Alibaba. Morgiana and Kougyoku talked about the different trinkets at the stands. Hakuryuu went off and bought everyone drinks. By the end of the day Kougyoku was grinning ear to ear and Morgiana had a rather large smile herself. Alibaba and Hakuryuu were shooting each other knowing looks. It had been a successful double date even if that hadn't been their original intention.

Hello Hello Hello!

I'm not sure whether I did okay with this chapter or not. I had to do some research about Portland to come up with something. I thought the Saturday Market might be a weird yet fun place to go on a kind-of date. I don't know…How do you feel about this?

Anyway yeah. I'm feeling a bit less tired now, which is awesome. I had a really good day today and so I worked really hard to get another chapter written.

So I'm coming to a point in the story where I'm not sure if I should end it after Aladdin and Judal go back to Portland or if I should keep it going for a while after. What do you guys think?

Please review and request!

Until Next Time!
