"I can't wait to surprise you tonight!" Dave exclaimed into the phone.

"I can't wait either," you answered. You had been looking forward to your birthday for weeks— ever since Dave said he wanted to surprise you. No one had ever surprised you before.

"Well, I better get going," Dave said. "I'll see you soon."

"See you soon."

"Love you."

"Love you."

You hung up. Saying I love you to Dave was practically brand new. You guys had just said it less than a week ago. Still, it felt right.

"I think you look terrific," your friend Shelli told you as you stood in front of your full-length mirror. You were wearing a Mudhoney t-shirt with a flannel shirt over it, and ripped, acid wash jeans, with Converse high tops.

"I shouldn't dress up more?" you asked, examining your teased hair in the mirror. 

"I think you should go exactly the way that Dave likes you, which is just how you look right now. It's the perfect look for you."

"Hmm, okay," you answered. "Yeah, I think this will work."

"You better be ready anyway," Shelli added. "He's going to be here in five minutes!"

You quickly reapplied your lipgloss and checked your makeup in the mirror. When you felt confident enough, you walked with Shelli out to the living room of your apartment where you were going to meet Dave.

A moment later there was a knock at the door. Dave wore the biggest grin you'd ever seen.

"Good evening, beautiful," he said grandly. You blushed slightly.

"Hi Dave."

"Are you ready to go?" He asked you.

"Yep."

You bid farewell to Shelli who headed home and you were on your way.

"I missed you," Dave said softly as he reached over and took your hand. The two of you cruised down the interstate as the radio blasted Sonic Youth.

"So, where are we going?" you finally asked.

"I think you'll soon know," Dave answered. He took a familiar exit off of the freeway and you immediately recognized the part of town.

"The diner!" you exclaimed. It was where you'd had your very first date. Dave grinned.

"I thought you might like to come back here."

"I definitely do!" you answered eagerly.

Inside, Dave led you to the same corner booth where you had sat on your first date, months ago. You recalled how nervous you had been then. And now you felt so comfortable about him. The two of you snuggled into the corner booth.

The waitress took your orders as you chatted about your job and Dave's band. You both ordered breakfast just like the first time.

The food was amazing. Soon you had eaten more French toast, eggs and bacon than should have been able to fit in your stomach.

"Thank you, Dave, for bringing me here. This was really special," you said as you were leaving.

"Of course," answered Dave. "I have a bigger surprise though..." he said with one of his classic grins.

"Oh?" You demanded as you climbed into the car.

"Well, remember how you've really been wanting to see the Butthole Surfers?"
