Photo Story: The Date
September 1, 2006
Annike: So, tonight is the big night? You have your date with Alex, don't you?
Rayna: Yes...I've been meaning to ask you, it's okay, right? I mean, you did go out with him first...
Annike: Don't give it another thought, I'm fine with it! Alex and I didn't really hit it off in that way, if you know what I mean...but I hope you do.
Rayna: *blush* Thanks!
Annike: Don't you need to change your clothes and get ready?
Rayna: I am ready.
Annike: Oh...
Rayna: Why, what's wrong?
Annike: Well, he's taking you to dinner, right? I think it would be better if you just dressed up a little more. How about this pretty blue dress, or even this red one? They would both look great on you.
Rayna: Thanks, but I think what I'm wearing is just fine. It's comfortable and I like it.
Annike: But the pinks are all different shades and don't really match.
Rayna: Do you think Alex will notice something like that? Really, if he minds so much what I'm wearing then he's probably not worth it.
Annike: If you say so, but I still think you should dress up a bit more and really impress him!
Rayna: Thanks, but no thanks. I feel more like myself like this.
Meanwhile...
Toby: So, tonight's the night...your big date with Rayna. I'm glad it's finally here, I'm getting tired of listening to your go on about it.
Alex: Heh, I guess I'm excited, I can't help it. Thanks for letting me borrow your suit, by the way, it looks nice. How do I look?
Toby: You'd look better if you put the tie on.
Alex: No way, dude! I already told you, I'm not wearing the tie! I don't want to choke during dinner.
Toby: But wearing a tie looks classy, don't you want to impress her?
Alex: She used to be a pirate, I don't think I need to wear a tie to impress her.
Toby: I'm telling you, girls like a well dressed man and a tie makes you look sharp.
Alex: I'm not wearing it and that's final.
Toby: But...
Alex: Shut up, here she comes.
Toby: *sigh*
Alex: Rayna, hi!
Rayna: Hi, it's good to see you, you look nice.
Alex: Thanks! You look very pretty, too.
Rayna: Thank you.
Alex: Shall we go then? *offers arm*
Rayna: Yes! *takes arm
*Annike and Toby watch them leave*
Annike: I told her she should dress up more...
Toby: I told Alex the same thing...what do they know?
Annike: Nothing. *sigh*
Meanwhile, on their way out to dinner...
Alex: I need to tell you again how nice you look. Really, you look so pretty!
Rayna: Thank you...Annike wanted me to dress up more, you know, in a fancy dress or something. But I feel comfortable in this, I'm glad you like it.
Alex: Yeah, Toby wanted me to wear a tie.
Rayna: Ties are stuffy, you look handsome just the way you are.
Alex: Thanks! What do Annike and Toby know anyway?
Rayna: Nothing, they know nothing at all... *laughs*
