[hr][hr]


Panda stepped into the warm interior of Captain Cuddles. Looking around, this was exact opposite of her ideal date spot. It was Family Restaurant with an arcade attached. The atmosphere was colorful but it was gaudy,and a little greasy and lived-in, and smelled of cheese and weed. This room itself told the story. This place used to be for kids before teenage burners became the dominant customer. Even so, the amazing pizzas were BHHS legend, and there was a Star Wars viewing on the roof. Panda wasn’t a geek by any stretch of the imagination, but Star Wars was an okay enough movie. What had really sold Panda on this date was the rooftop cinema as a concept. It was quirky, kitsch, weird, and didn’t have the sexual tension of a drive-in cinema. The emo girl smiled and turned to Camille, hoping that she wasn’t having second thoughts about this. The date or the location.

Stepping inside the facility had chucked Camille all the way back to her childhood. It was the ideal vibe for a date, even though it was definitely somewhere she would’ve gone as a child. She couldn’t help but to shake that thought from the back of her mind. Knowing that this was chock full of nostalgia. [color=FFB6C1][b]”Jeez. It’s like my childhood in here. You sure this is a date place?”[/b][/color]

Panda took the flyer from her coat pocket and showed it to Camille. [color=f3a8f7][b]”Yep. This is the right place. Captain Cuddles. Date night. Star Wars on the roof. But yeah, I do like it in here. I might have to come more often, depending on how good their pizza is. Speaking of, I wonder if we order now, or order on the roof. The flyer isn’t very clear on that.”[/b][/color]

[color=FFB6C1][b]”I uh… actually have no idea.”[/b][/color] Camille shrugged, before she started looking for a way upstairs. [color=FFB6C1][b]”Why don’t we head to the roof first and see what’s up? Maybe we can ask around. Worst case scenario is that I come back down and order for us. Besides, I doubt there’d be much room up there. Better find us a spot now, yeah?”[/b][/color]

[color=f3a8f7][b]”True. I’d hate for us to go up there and find no good room. Or no room at all. Let’s go.”[/b][/color] Panda replied, following Camille. They found the stairs, and made it to the roof. There were a few couples there already, already stocked with pizza, but there was still more than enough room for the two of them. Everybody else must still be in the restaurant.

Finding a nice spot that wasn’t too close or too far away from the screen, she sat down and waited for her girlfriend to join her on the rooftop before saying anything else. [color=FFB6C1][b]”Well hey, here’s our spot…”[/b][/color] Camille smiled, before glancing around for anything else. [color=FFB6C1][b]’Now is the problem of the pizza. I still don’t know where to get it. Guess I’ll go down and get if for us?”[/b][/color]

Panda sat down, and pulled her collar a little higher. It wasn’t warm, after all. She then answered Camille. [color=f3a8f7][b]”Unless you want me to go down, but sure! I’ll have something a little spicy but nothing that’ll blow my head off. If it has jalapeños, then yes please.“[/b][/color]

[color=FFB6C1][b]”Jalapeños? I never took you as a spicy food type of person.”[/b][/color]

[color=f3a8f7][b]”I’m not a spicy food [i]person[/i], per say. It’s just cold and it might warm me up. Besides, jalapeños are deelicious.“[/b][/color] Panda shrugged and smiled.

[color=FFB6C1][b]”That makes you a spicy food kinda person, technically.”[/b][/color] Camille laughed, before giving a small wave to Panda, [color=FFB6C1][b]”I’ll be back. Just gonna get us some pizzas. You hold down the fort here… and I’ll be back with your pizza, madame.”[/b][/color]

With that, Camille went downstairs back down to the cashier. He was a pimply, gangly, homely boy who looked absolutely dead inside. Understandably so, since he had to deal with the worst people, whether it’d be mothers demanding for his manager since he didn’t honor their coupon that expired three years ago, or screaming little shits that didn’t know how to shut up. At this point he was just a former shell of himself. Camille coming up to him made little to no difference in his demeanor.

[color=FFB6C1][b]”Hi! I’d like one pepperoni and sausage pizza… and whatever your jalapeno special is.”[/b][/color] The girl smiled, before pulling her wallet out from her purse. The cashier absentmindedly pounded the order into the system, before pulling up the final total. Thank goodness they were here tonight, otherwise Camille’s wallet was going to be crying a LOT. Handing over her debit card, the transaction was completed and the cashier let out a big sigh as Camille turned around. She thanked the cashier, but he wasn’t having it today.

Big mood.

Walking back up the stairs, Camille found her way back to her girlfriend, smiling as they made eye contact. [color=FFB6C1][b]”Miss me?”[/b][/color] She asked, leaning in to kiss Panda on the cheek. Panda chuckled, and leaned in to offer her cheek to Camille. As she did so, she put her arm around her.

[color=f3a8f7][b]”You were gone about three minutes, but yeah, I did. But it’s funny. Even though we’re dating now, I don’t really feel that everything’s changed. And I think that’s a good thing, you know? I think because we were already bffs who were comfortable hanging out, we’ve bypassed the awkward dating phase completely.”[/b][/color]

[color=FFB6C1][b]”Well that’s good, isn’t it?”[/b][/color] Camille smiled, before turning around to see if the pizza arrived. It didn’t. [color=FFB6C1][b]”The honeymoon phase is always fun…[/b][/color] Camille put her hands on the table, before softly embracing Panda’s even softer hands. [color=FFB6C1][b]’...but every day with you is a honeymoon phase, to be honest.”[/b][/color]

[color=f3a8f7][b]”Why have I never noticed how smooth you are?”[/b][/color] Panda chuckled, as she turned so that she was looking at the blank cinema screen, and rested her head against Camille’s shoulder. After a while she looked up at her girlfriend’s face, with a foxish smile. [color=f3a8f7][b]”Speaking of honeymoon phase, what were your plans after this movie?”[/b][/color]

It was now, that the pizzas were delivered, and set down on the table in front of them. The woman who’d brought them up smiled a knowing, ‘ah, young people...’ smile, winked at them both, and returned downstairs.

 [color=FFB6C1][b]”I dunno. I didn’t notice either.”[/b][/color] Camille shrugged, before letting her girlfriend put her head on her shoulder, [color=FFB6C1][b]”Too busy being infatuated with you.”[/b][/color] Camille chuckled softly, before she watched the pizza be bestowed in front of them. The question that was presented in front of them now was a hard one to ponder. She didn’t know what to do after the movie.

[color=FFB6C1][b]”I dunno. What do you wanna do?”[/b][/color]

Panda blinked. After that night on the boat, of all things, she wasn’t expecting that to fly over Camille’s head. Panda didn’t want to seem forceful, perverted or desperate by pressing the point, nor could she really let it drop, so she shrugged, and inadvertently blushed and looked away as she did so. [color=f3a8f7][b]”I dunno...heading back to my place would be a bad idea, because my parents are...well, my parents.”[/b][/color]

Raising an eyebrow, Camille soon put two and two together, realizing what Panda [i]actually[/i] meant. [color=FFB6C1][b]”On the first date?[/b][/color] Camille’s face contorted into a sly smile, [color=FFB6C1][b]”Well I’ll be..,”[/b][/color] The girl laughed, before opening the box for her girlfriend, [color=FFB6C1][b]”I’m just saying, I do have a car, babe.”[/b][/color]

[color=f3a8f7][b]”C’mon, Camille, don’t pull that ‘first date’ stuff on me.”[/b][/color] Panda giggled.  [color=f3a8f7][b]”We both remember the night on the boat. I think we’re past the stage where we need to pretend to be prudish and bashful around each other. After this date, We’ll drive somewhere quiet together before we have to go home.”[/b][/color]

[color=FFB6C1][b]”Oh yeah… the boat…”[/b][/color] Camille blushed, before turning back at the screen. [color=FFB6C1][b]”I still don’t remember anything from that night.”[/b][/color]

 [color=f3a8f7][b]”If anything, that’s just a bigger reason to do it right this time, and remember it.”[/b][/color] Panda replied, as the film came on, and she turned her attention to it, resting her head on Camille’s shoulder and pulling herself close with an arm sneakily wrapped around her, hugging the other shoulder. Panda didn’t quite remember that night on the boat either. It was a haze. She only remembered bits and pieces of that night. But for the time being, she was content with that.
