Later that day, Leela changed into something more casual and went into town.
When she turned a corner, she bumped into someone, causing her to drop her books and papers.
"Whoa sorry, miss." A voice said.
She looked up and standing there was Launchpad.
"Oh Leela. It's you. Allow me." He said, helping her with her books.
They then reached for the same book and ended up touching hands.
They looked up at each other.
They smiled at each other.
Leela put all her stuff in her bag.
"Let me make it up to you. Wanna get a burger?" Launchpad asked.
"I'd love to." Leela said, smiling.
"Great. I know a great place." He said.
They went to Hamburger Hippo.
They began talking, telling stories, having fun, sharing a laugh.
After they finished eating, they took a walk in the park.
Launchpad really wanted to hold her hand but was really nervous.
He tried reaching for it but kept pulling away.
She looked down and smiled.
She took his hand.
He looked down and saw he had her little hand in his big hand.
"So, do you like working for Mr. McDuck?" He asked.
"Oh yes. I enjoy it very much." She said.
"Great." He said.
He looked to the side and saw someone selling flowers.
He ran over, got a small bouquet, and gave it to Leela.
"How sweet. How did you know I love flowers?" She asked.
"Lucky guess. And also, your bag is covered in flower patches." He said.
She smiled, took one of the flowers out of the bouquet and placed it in Launchpad's jacket pocket.
"Aw shucks. I never been on a date with someone as sweet as you. I mean, I don't date much, not that I never been on one, I just have been sort of....nevermind." He said, nervously.
She laughed a bit.
"So, this is a date?" She asked.
"Uh well, if you want it to be?" He said.
"Hmmm let's see. We went out for a late lunch, you gave me these beautiful flowers, we're both having fun, sharing some laughs. I'd definitely consider this a date." She said, smiling.
He smiled back.
Night fell.
The two were walking back to the mansion.
Launchpad took off his jacket, wrapped it around Leela and wrapped his arm around her as they watched the stars.
He then walked her home.
"I had a wonderful time with you, Launchpad. Thanks so much." She said.
"Well, I just wanted to show you around, make you feel welcome...spend time with you." He said.
"That's sweet. Well, good night." She said.
"Good night." He said.
She smiled, gave Launchpad a quick kiss, and went inside.
Launchpad went home and started cheering.
"She kissed me!" He shouted.
