It has been a week since Jean Luc got the affirmation to go on a date with Bluey and the both of them have been waiting for this day (sometimes wishing that the wait would be shorter).

Bandit is helping Jean Luc get ready (and to give a little lecture).

"Okay, Jean Luc, you go on this date with my daughter to where exactly?"

"We are going to La Vue, then I will take her on a little stroll by the ocean," Jean Luc says.

"That's nice. But you go to La Vue, then the little stroll, and the both of you return home by 11 p.m., got it?"

"Oui, monsieur."

Bingo is helping Bluey with her makeup (and instead Bingo giving her a lecture, she's talking about Bluey and Jean Luc)

"So, what do you think you two will do while the both of you are out on the town?"

"Hmm.... My guess is that he'll take me to a restaurant."

"Do you think he'll do anything else OTHER than just a restaurant?"

Bluey thinks for a moment.

"No, I don't think so."

"What if he takes you on a stroll in the park, hand in hand, while the moon is glistening on the ocean? What if he goes to kiss you?"

"Okay, you DEFINITELY took it overboard!"

"Whaaaaat? I'm just being honest!"

"I get that, Bingo, but I just believe that it's over the top. He didn't HAVE to take me on this date tonight, but he chose to do this-"

"Because he loves you, Bluey! I can assure you that he will do anything that he can to let you have a great time and enjoy yourself."

"Yeah, he is a sweet guy... Now that I think about it, I believe that he'll take me to a restaurant and on a little stroll. It sounds so fun!"

"That's what I'm saying!... And finished! Take a look."

Bluey grabs a handheld mirror and checks her makeup.

"Woah, this is amazing!"

"For real life?"

Bluey turns to Bingo, looks in her eyes and says, "For real life! Thank you so much."

"You're welcome! I would hug you, but I don't wanna smear my masterpiece."

They have a little laugh, then they hear Jean Luc walk towards their room.

He knocks on the door and asks, "Are you done getting ready?"

Bluey goes to respond but gets cut off from Bingo yelling out, "Yes, come and look at my masterpiece!"

He walks in, sees Bluey, and is blown away. "You look très beau!"

She blushes and smiles. "Merci, I am glad to hear that you like what Bingo did to my face."

They share a little laugh as they leave the room.

They walk down the stairs and see Bandit looking at them from the couch and Chilli with a camera in her hand and standing by the stairway.

She says, "Come on... Just a few pictures."

"D'accord, but do not take too long, or else we will be late for our reservation." He turns to Bluey and winks at her.

Chilli snaps a few photos, then they go to walk out the door before Bandit stops them in their tracks. He tosses Bluey the keys to his jeep and tells her, "You have my permission to take the jeep, now go have fun, you crazy kids!"

She walks back over to her dad and hugs him, careful not to smear her makeup. "Thank you, Dad!"

"Anything for my little girl."

They walk out the door, go to the jeep, and drive away for what will be the best night of their lives.

(Little note from the author:

I deeply apologize for the late update to the book, I was super busy over the last month and a half. But I hope to update this book at least once a week (when I have the time to do so).

Thank you all for understanding!)
