A date a date

Who: Marie and Spinny
What: A date
Where: School grounds, and then somewhere? 8D;;
When: Friday, Feb 4th
Warnings: It's Marie and Spinny

Spinny had never been on a date before; she had seen couples take a walk in the National Park, and even read a little while she was going through the comics collection the library held, but it was still confusing. Did they just spend the day walking around? But some comics had two characters go to amusement parks or a haunted house... She did want to try going to amusement parks, but not so much with haunted houses...

While she thought about it she waited for Marie to show up, daydreaming all kinds of dates that would happen in a story. But this was just an outing for lunch. Would it really be a date? Spinny tilted her head in confusion.

Marie, quite honestly, had never been on a date either. He'd only read about them in his sappy "novels" and all those magazines he pored over each week. Asking Spinny out hadn't quite gone as expected, but maybe the rest of the date would be better. He had promised Vinnie to make it a good one.

As he approached the itsy-bitsy spider, he felt himself start to blush. Thoughts of kissing her and holding her hand raced through his head for a moment. How she had just gotten her heart broken. He regathered his courage and walked in closer.

"Hi," was all he said, smiling the tiniest bit.

Spinny looked over at Marie and returned a small 'hi' as she waved a smiling mask. She paused for a moment before asking,

"How...are you today...?" She tilted her head. It was a conversation starter, right? She wanted to talk to Marie as much as she could while they went out to eat.

A smiling mask had to be a good sign, right? Hopefully that meant she was genuinely happy to see him. It made him a little less nervous, anyway.

It was indeed a conversation starter. He noticed as she spoke, her speech was becoming increasingly less annoying to him. "I'm good. Actually," he replied. There was a pause, and Marie forgot his manners for a second. "Oh, uh... How are you? Sorry."

"I'm...doing okay." Spinny replied. She really was feeling a lot better after that week of crying a lot. Plus, it was probably better to go out and try new things to distract her mind from thinking too much on it anymore.

"Want to...get going...?" She then asked, tilting her head to the side again. Maybe changing the scenery can give them some more things to talk about, since she couldn't figure out what else other than 'good day isn't it?'

Marie nearly reached out for her hand. But, then again, it was probably too soon for that. Holding hands as friends and holding hands on a date meant two totally different things. At least to the timid Squirtle. Instead, he replied with a quiet, "Yeah," and lead the way.

"I don't really know where we're going," he admitted shyly. "I haven't been to very many places around here... I guess you haven't either."

Spinarak gave a nod in response. "...Usually...get food...in webs..."

It was only recently that she started eating out in the cafeteria, too.

"We can...maybe...walk around and see...if any rest...aurant looks...good..." She said as she followed closely after. She did notice that the other wanted to reach out for something. Did he want to hold hands? Would it be okay if she reached out to hold hands? But what if he changed his mind? Spinny lowered her gaze to the ground; the last thing she wanted was to cause more trouble to her friends. She already had caused enough trouble for Mac, and even Vinnie too...

Marie wondered what kind of food one could possibly get from webs. Nothing good, he imagined. But he nodded anyway.

"What kind of food do you like? I have a really big sweet tooth," he said, shyly glancing in her direction as they walked. "But I dunno. Whatever you like is fine with me, I guess."

I didn't have a suitable icon for this woops

Oh, something they both liked! Sweet things were always her favorites. The hot chocolate they had on the day of the first snow a few months ago was delicious. The worrying thoughts were pushed aside as she looked up at Marie's direction...or actually, at the back of his head, since she was being a bit slower at walking.

"I like...sweet things...too..." Spinny replied, trying to sound enthusiastic about it as she walked up alongside Marie. "But...I think...sweet goes...with snacks..."
