Boys will be Boys and Girls will be Pandas - Turning Red Fanfic

Chapter 4

What the answer was.

"Sure,"

"Sure?" She asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at Tyler in amazement. She had to get out what she meant, "So.. you will go on a date with me?"

Tyler seemed to tense up when he felt the other girls' eyes on him, and he swallowed, shaking himself off from any type of dust, and said as smoothly as he could.

"I mean, yeah, totally... can we-" He added on quickly glancing at the girls then back at Mei Mei, "...discuss this somewhere else?"

"Aww!" The girls all panted, sad that the drama was going to be moved somewhere private. Mei smield awkwardly at Tyler and said while blush skimmed her cheeks dark red.

"Of course,"

The two went off, side by side and Miriam pointed out to her friends.

"They're so CLOSE their hands are nearly touching!"

Tyler pulled Mei to an empty part of the schoolyard and smiled nervously, even though he was trying to be brave.

"So we're doing this?" He asked, a spark in his eyes that hit Mei's own sparkling eyes, "A date?"

"Yeah," She said back, putting her hands behind her back as she looked at him shyly, "Like the cinema this weekend.. and some big macs?"

Tyler's eyes literally fell wide open with her suggestion. He LOVED movies and especially Mac Donalds. This must be a dream. He had to truly test it though, as he asked with a serious face.

"What movie do you want to see?"

"Spiderman?" The two said together, before gaping at one another in shock with their similar interest.

"OMG, yes!" Tyler cheered and suddenly lunged forward, giving Mei aan excited hug.

"Wait... you like Spderman?" Mei asked quickly, amazed.

"Spiderman is my guy! Best superhero ever!"

Mei chuckled at this quietly, and as she felt Tyler's warm embrace, she felt her heart start to flutter and suddenly POOF!

She was a red panda again.

Tyler's face was stuffed against her giant red furry belly, and he pulled away with a laugh. Mei felt so embarrassed as she quickly calmed herself and puffed back to her normal human form.

"So... the Saturday?" Tyler asked on eagerly and she only smirked, looking at him and grinning herself too.

"Yes! This Saturday!" She laughed. The two did their secret handshake then, before heading back into the school building as recess had ended and they had to go to class.

Mei Mei was in a world of her own the rest of that week. Her mind was constantly dreaming about Tyler and the movie they were going to see. She just couldn't believe that with all the guys in her life, that Tyler – TYLER- would be the one she'd have her first date with.

Just as she dazed her way through the classes and she was heading her home direction with Miriam, her pale friend had to get out the words as she said.

"Mei, EARTH to MEI!"

"Huh?"

Miriam just giggled and shook her a bit as they walked towards the bus stop.

"You've been in your own head all day – HECK, all WEEK!"

Mei laughed nervously and pushed her bestie aside as she said.

"I'm so sorry... I just... keep thinking about this Saturday... being alone with him..."
