The Unified Soul

The Date

It was yet another beautiful day at Love~Love Paradise, and on the rooftop of a restaurant on the island, three people sat at one of the tables. Aphmau and Aaron wanted a little bit of alone time with each other, but they didn't want to leave Airis alone at the house. Everyone else had other plans, so they decided to bring her along, not that they minded the extra company. Though Aphmau was, and she'll never admit it, a little disappointed about her lost alone time with her boyfriend.

Airis didn't mind staying alone at the beach house, but that would be considered child endangerment by leaving a five year old little girl in a house with no parental supervision on an island filled with strangers. With better judgement of the situation, and with a meal provided, she went with them.

"Wow, Aaron, this place is so awesome!" Aphmau squealed, "Don't you think so, Airis?" 

Airis smiled and nodded, "I'd never thought I would see a place like this?" She wrote.

"I'm glad you two like it. I really wanted to do something nice for the both of you." Aaron replied chuckling with his face a burning bright red. Just then, the waiter appeared.

"Good evening, can I get some drinks to start you three off with?" He asked.

Aphmau nodded, "Can I have the Paradise Lemonade?"

"I'll have the same." Aaron said.

The waiter nodded then looked over at Airis, "And anything for you, little one?"

The child nodded, "I'll have the sunset strawberry lemonade." Airis wrote.

"Good choice. Be right back with those drinks." The waiter left and the group became alone again.

"Actually, Aph, there's something I wanted to talk to you about." Aaron tried to say, but then the waiter came back and tried to talk about their order, when they didn't even have a chance to look at the menu. He eventually left, muttering something about table four's food.

Airis noticed the blush on Aaron's face, then she saw the blush on Aphmau's face and got an idea. She stood out of her chair, grabbed Aphmau's hand and pulled her aside.

"Airis, what's wrong?" Aphmau asked.

Airis kept pulling her and pointed to the bathroom sign not too far away. Aphmau quickly got the idea.

"Ooh, I see." She said, "Aaron, I'm gonna take Airis to the bathroom. Could you order for us?"

"Sure, babe." Aaron replied and the two girls went to the bathroom, only to stop on their way when Aphmau realized what Aaron had called her.

"Did... Did he just call me... babe...?" She stuttered. Airis nodded and pulled Aphmau into the bathroom before pulling out her notebook and writing what she wanted to say down.

"You've been acting nervous. Is something wrong? Did you want to be alone with Aaron? Am I a third wheel?" She wrote.

"What? No, no, no, no, no, no! Airis, you're not a third wheel, we asked you to come with us." Aphmau answered, "It's just that... I'm not used to Aaron talking to me like this. I-I mean, yeah, sure we were friends for a very long time, but getting close to him like this... I mean, yeah we've kissed before but.."

"Aphmau? Airis?" A voice called out their names from behind them. The two turned around and saw a familiar red head from days before.

"Ah! Ivy!" Aphmau shouted, "What are you doing here? Are you having dinner with Teony?"

"No, actually... I, um.... am here on a double date." Ivy answered.

Airis clapped and laughed as Aphmau exclaimed in pure shock.
