Dani's First Date
A one shot about how Danu's Valentine's date with Cory went.
February 14th
Takes place sometime during "Epilogue"
Danielle "Dani" Fenton, age thirteen, was currently in her ghostly form, flying high in the skies of her home town as she was about to go on her first Valentine's day date. Normally a young girl would be feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness but this preconscious, young lady was feeling anything but nervous.
She was only looking forward to spending time with a boy that she liked and who liked her, not for her looks, not for her powers, not for her fame, not for her relationship with her brother…but who liked her for who she was.
She had met Cory a few months ago, when she started eighth grade and she was pleasantly surprised to see that he didn't seem to care about her fame or powers, and sometime after that, they started hanging out and Dani found herself liking the boy more and more, something that she learned that was mutual when he had asked her to be his Valentine.
"I wonder what he has planned…"Dani thought excitedly as she soon reached her destination: A hillside valley.
There she saw the person who would be her companion today on the day of love. Cory Anderson, a tall, cute boy with sandy-blonde hair, brown eyes and a nice smile with perfect teeth, the cute ghost girl landed and immediately transformed into her well dressed, human form much to the pleasure of her date who was admiring her appearance
"Wow…You look really pretty…"Cory said to the girl who blushed.
Cory meant it, usually Dani's used a hip, tomboyish style and this was the first time he had seen her wear a dress…and he liked it.
"Thanks…"She said shyly to the boy, feeling her butterflies in her tummy.
"Uh…This is for you…"Cory said shyly as he presented her a cute, stuffed panda teddy with a red bow and was holding a heart that said "Be my Valentine".
"Aww~ ….Cory, this is so cute….Thank you…"Dani said fondly as she hugged the cute teddy and gave a sweet smile to the boy who was blushing.
"Heh…I'm glad you like it…"Cory said shyly as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Come on…Let's go…"She said eagerly as she grabbed his hand and the two left for their date.
Local Ice Rink
"Easy there…Steady…How you doing?...'Cory asked to his skating partner who was still trying to balance herself on the icy floor.
"I'm doing good…"Dani said as she slowly glided around the rink, noticing the many older couples who were skating closely and some were even ice dancing together.
"Come on…Let's get wild…"Cory said as he spun around and jumped in the air only to land gracefully in place, earning a smile and eye roll from his date.
"Okay Mr. Show-Off, try this on for size…'Dani challenged to the cute boy, as she twirled around in place and even did a toe jumps.
Cory has been teaching her how to skate for weeks now and she's been getting long great, even managing to keep up with her "coach" who looked impressed.
"You're skating has come along great, pretty soon you might even be better than me…'Cory said to his date.
"What do you mean by "soon'?..."Dani teased and soon found herself laughing with Cory.
The two teens were enjoying their time with each other, joking, talking and trying to outdo each other on the ice rink, they were having a lot of fun together until suddenly the music stopped and they heard the loud speakers make an announcement.
"Alright you lucky couples, it's time for couple's skating, go grab your Valentine and lets rock it…"The announcer said and soon put on a romantic song.
Soon most of the couples were skating closely, some even cuddling as they skated, all but the two 13 years old who looked nervous for some reason.
"Uh…Dani…Would you like to skate…with me?...'Cory asked shyly to the dark haired girl who nodded.
"I'd love to…"She answered as she took his arm, making the boy become as red as a tomato.
Dani and Cory skated together to the romantic song, Cory even spun her around and dipped her a bit during the fast parts of the song and the two slowly but surely were feeling more comfortable with each other as they danced closely.
"You're pretty light on your feet…"Cory said as he skated closely to Dani who blushed.
"Thanks, you too…" Dani said kindly to the cute boy.
Soon the song ended and the two young adolescents were taking a break.
"That was pretty fun…"Dani said as she and Cory went to get them some water.
"And it's going to get more fun, I can promise that…'Cory said as he handed the water bottle to the pretty girl who was grinning.
"Oh~…You have peak my interest Mr. Anderson…"Dani said in a teasing voice.
"Only the best for you Ms. Fenton…"He said with a mock bow to the girl who was giggling.
Corry had kept his word; the rest of the afternoon was a very nice and memorable one for the youngest Fenton child. Cory had taken her to a nice little restaurant for lunch, a carriage ride through the park, buying some valentine's day candy for each other, all ending with a nice movie, however they both agreed to avoid a cliché and instead of watching any of the sappy, cliché romance movies that were on show that they, they had chosen to watch a comedy instead….a romantic comedy to be honest but they were hoping to get some good laughs at least.
Indeed, the two kids had just gotten out of the theater and were still laughing their heads off at the show they had witness.
"HA HA HA HA! I still can't believe that Cosmo guy went crazy after finding out that Wanda tricked him into kissing a pig at the kissing booth…"Dani said in between her giggles.
"Did you see how wide his eyes became when he finally noticed and started coughing and spitting to the ground?..."Cory chuckled and felt his sides aching a bit.
"I know…He was like: EWW…Gross!...I kissed a pig! A pig!...'Dani repeated in a deep, acting voice, earning more chuckles from her date and some looks from the patrons but she didn't care.
This was her first real Valentine's Day, she was spending it with a nice guy and she was having a fun time and that was all that matter to her. Soon the two checked the time and saw that it was starting to get late and it was best to be getting home.
"Look at the time…I…I suppose that this is the time that I should…Walk you home?...'Cory said in a tone that was almost like asking a question.
Dani had stopped her giggling when she realized it was getting late, her curfew was in 20 minutes and while she could fly and be home in under five minutes, she realized that Cory likely wanted to walk her and she didn't really mind to be honest.
"I believe it is Mr. Anderson…"Dani said coquet-like as she grabbed his arm, earning a blush and a smile from the boy.
"After you Ms. Fenton…"He said as he opened the door for her, causing her to roll her eyes at his cheesiness but still smile.
"How gallant of you Mr. Anderson…"Dani said teasing before the two walked home, with Dani clinging to his arm the entire time.
Later
At Fenton Works
The two little lovebirds soon arrived to the large, unique building known as Fenton Works with Cory walking with her up the stoops until they were at the front of the door.
"I had a really great time today Cory…'Dani said smiling as she held her teddy close.
"I did too…Thanks again…You know…For agreeing to go with me…"Cory said looking down to his shoes and scratching the back of his head.
"Why wouldn't I?...'Dani said blinking when she noticed Cory suddenly looked nervous about something.
'D-Dani?...'Cory stuttered a bit.
"Yeah?...'Dani asked in a confused tone when she noticed he suddenly became another shade of red.
"I…Uh…What I mean is, I had a great time….And…Well….I really like you…"Cory said with a red face to the girl who gave him a tender smile.
'I like you too Cory…"She said sweetly but had a blank expression when she noticed he still seemed nervous.
"I…Do you think…That…We…I mean…If you want…That…I…You…We…Maybe…"He was rambling now and Dani was wondering what on earth was he trying to say and why he looked like he might pass out.
Why was he suddenly acting like he was scared of her or something? Especially since they had enjoyed a very fun Valentine's Day together?
Realization suddenly dawned on the little ghost girl's face, along with a slight blush as she now knew why Cory seemed nervous all of a sudden and she now knew what he was trying- and failing- to work the nerve to ask her.
Once the shock was gone, she found herself smiling a bit.
"Cory…Are you trying to ask me what I think you're trying to ask me?..."She asked with a sly smile and nearly giggled when she saw his nervous expression get worse.
He looked really cute when he blushed.
"I…Dani…Could…Could I…Could I please kiss you?...'He finally blurted out, his face now as red as a fire truck and Dani, blushing widely but with a grin forming on her face.
She even felt her heart fluttering at the idea, and she realized she wasn't just okay with the idea. She wanted to do it…She really wanted to do it.
"I…Yes…'Dani said with rosy cheeks, giving a sweet gaze to Cory who gulped a bit.
"I…Uh-Huh…"Was what he said before taking a deep breath. It was obviously his first kiss, just as it was hers but she thought it was nice.
Cory was looking into her eyes, still burning red before slowly and gently closing the gap between them, kissing her a short but sweet kiss on the lips, one that the dark haired halfa girl reciprocated.
Once they were separated, they were both red and felt tingles all over.
"Wow….'Was what they both thought in sync, before suddenly laughing for some reason.
"Happy Valentine's day Cory…"Dani said sweetly to her date.
"Happy Valentine's day Dani..."He said rubbing his arm, feeling very happy.
"I…I was wondering if…maybe we could…go on another date, if you want?...'He asked her and Dani nodded.
"I'd love to…Bye Cory…"Dani said before stealing another kiss before entering her home, leaving the blushing boy still rooted to the spot.
Once Dani was safely inside her home, and using intangibility she checked to see Cory finally snapping out of his trance and was on his way home. Once he was safely out of hearing range, she let out a happy squeal and immediately ran to her room.
Once inside, she jumped on her bed and even his some flips in the air.
She couldn't believe that she had her first kiss! And on Valentine's Day no less!
It wasn't like those kisses she had seen on TV or when she was "observing" her siblings with their dates, but…it was special and Dani knew that she would never forgets it.
"I can't believe he kissed me…"She whispered in bliss, even touching her lips at one point.
It was a soft, quick and gentle little kiss but she felt such a rush of energy from it…and she finally understood why everyone seemed to go crazy over the opposite sex and for the chase to experience something like this on Valentine's Day.
It…It felt very special.
"Love might be crazy…but I think I like crazy…"She said before giggling madly and squeezing her cute teddy bear, feeling so many butterflies in her tummy as she thought about Cory.
Maybe she was being forward, but she felt that she was close to having her very first boyfriend.
'Yikes!...I'm glad Danny and Jazz are still out…I don't think they are ready to find out about Cory yet…"Dani thought as she thought of her older siblings, not to mention her parents.
It…It would probably be best to wait before she tells them about Cory…or any of her dates for that matter. She totally intended to tell them someday, when they were all ready.
Maybe after both Danny and Jazz move out and her parents were too old and gray to do anything embarrassing, yes that would be the best time to let them know.
But until she had to worry about that fateful day, the female halfa laid on her bed, completely in bliss over her very first Valentine's Day.
She now understood why her brother and sister were so crazy about this day, because there was nothing like spending it with a certain special someone.
Soon the 13 year old girl soon found herself asleep, dreaming about her own special someone and their time together on the day of love, ending with that kiss they shared together when he brought her home.
Something she was planning on getting more of the next time she saw him.
