"s-so then, what would be a good place to visit for o-"
"our first date?" says Katie interrupting nate before he finishes his sentence
"ehh?! d-date?!" says Nate surprised
"hee hee, yeah. I mean, that is what this is, right?" says Katie giggling and blushing a bit
"oh well, I-I guess this is kinda a date now that I think about it. haha" says Nate also blushing a bit
"no way! I'm on a date, with a girl, for the first time ever! OM freaking G!" Nate thinks to himself
"so Katie, anywhere in particular you want to go? Breezy Hills Museum? the Arcade? oh, maybe Banter Bakery?" asks Nate
"anywhere's fine. I told you Nate, I'll follow you anywhere. as long as I'm with you, I'm happy" says Katie with a bright smile
A second later Katie gets closer to Nate then slowly reaches over and takes Nate's hand into hers. Nate glances over at her as she does while Katie returns his glance with a loving stare, the pair walking side by side and hand in hand while crossing a street.
"s-she's holding my hand! Katie's holding my hand! am I dreaming right now?!" Nate thinks to himself fully blushing
As they walk through Uptown Springdale Whisper follows at a distance but is keeping a steady eye on them.
"oh ho ho, what an interesting development. ah Nate, you sly boy you. as a yokai butler it is my duty to look after you and help you any way I can, but I will respect your wishes and give you two some privacy. that being said..." Whisper says to himself floating along
A devious grin soon appears on his face, then a second later he pulls out a digital camera.
"I can't miss this opportunity to snap some pictures of the new couple on their first date! ho ho ho ho!" says Whisper as he continues to follow Nate and Katie
Over the next 3 hours Nate and Katie spent time together in Downtown Springdale, visiting several well known spots such as Arcadia Arcade, Seabreeze tunnel, and Nom Burger. they also walked together along the Rolling Waves Beach taking in the beautiful scenary and enjoying themselves every step of the way. the hours pass and it is now past 6 pm as the sun begins to set on the town. Nate and Katie are now back uptown walking along a sidewalk in the residential area, still giddy and excited having explored some of the spots in town together enjoying each others' company.
"wow, that was so fun. we got to do so much today" says Nate smiling
"hee hee, yup. it was great, but the best thing was that I got to spend more time with you, Nate. we should definitely do that more often" says Katie smiling back
"oh, uh... y-yeah you're right, hehe" says Nate looking away and slightly blushing
Katie giggles slightly looking over at Nate. eventually the two arrive at Katie's house and stand in front of the walkway leading up to her front door facing each other.
"well here we are, Katie" says Nate
"yeah, guess I better head in now. thank you so much for walking me home Nate, that means a lot to me. I had a lot of fun today" says Katie
"yeah, I did too" says Nate nodding
"I don't think I've ever had that much fun, it was a perfect first date! sooo... let's have many more, ok Nate?" says Katie smiling
"uh, er... y-yeah we... we should, heh" says Nate a bit nervously scratching the side of his face
"promise?" says Katie as she gives him a wink
"ahh! yeah, it's a promise" says Nate nodding
"great! oh, I better go in now. bye-bye Nate!" says Katie as she starts to turn and head for the front door to her house
"ok, later Katie!" says Nate waving
Katie walks about halfway up the walkway then suddenly stops.
"oh! yeah, that's right" she says to herself before turning around and running back to Nate
"huh? what wrong, Katie? you forget something?" says Nate curiously
"oh, yeah... um... this" says Katie blushing once again
she then quickly steps forward to Nate and kisses him gently on the cheek completely catching Nate by surprise. a second later she steps back looking at him lovingly while Nate, stunned from the kiss, looks wide eyed with face even redder than before. it almost appears as if steam is coming out of Nate's head.
"that's my thanks for showing me such a good time today, and... to show you my affection for you, new boyfriend" says Katie still blushing
Nate stares at her wide eyed, still speechless from the kiss.
"well ok, see you tomorrow Nate!" says Katie turning around and running towards her house
"oh, yeah. see you tomorrow, Katie!" says Nate
The two wave at each other as Katie finally goes into her house and shuts the door. Nate starts walking down the sidewalk and turns the corner heading for his house which wasn't too far away. as he walks he puts his hand over his cheek where Katie kissed him, still blushing heavily and heart racing.
"she... she really kissed me... if this is a dream... I don't wanna wake up! haha, yahoo!" says Nate joyfully raising his fist"
