Nintendo High: Junior Year

Date

Why am I doing this. That's the question Dave's been asking himself over and over again as he was looking for something descent to wear. Thanks to Milo, Dave is now on a date with Barbara. When Mary and Locke heard, they were surprised. But Dave ignored it and tried to go along with it so he could get back to his mission and his life.

After looking, He found a descent looking jacked to wear. After looking, he can confirm that he was indeed ready. As he got out of his room, Milo was there with a grin on his face. Dave groaned, knowing what's gonna happen.

"Well well well. Looks like someone's gonna date a cheetah. Be careful not to get clawed when you kiss." Milo said.

Dave was about to hit him when Locke intervene. "Milo, let's go. You're with me for the night."

"Ok ok. I'm coming." Milo answered. Before he left, he winked Dave good luck before he left.

"God. Why can't he just grow up?" Dave complained.

"Dave. He's just that way. Not everyone is the same." Mary explained.

"I know. But he could at least not push people."

"Regardless, just be yourself. And please be careful."

"Same to you mom." Dave opened the door and left.

He soon arrived at the restaurant Barbara talked about: Peppino Pizza. It was a large white building with the word of the restarunt on it with a large figure giving an A-OK symbol. It even sounded busy in there.

Dave was looking around to see if anyone relating to the cult can be found, while at the same time looking at his watch to see when he has to wait. He soon heard someone coming. He looked over to see who it was and what he saw surprised him greatly: It was Barbara, wearing a good white shirt with a light jacket that's colored sky blue with blue jeans. Her hair is no longer in a ponytail but is long. She is still wearing glasses, but that was fine.

Dave was speechless. He thought he had seen her enough. But this was a new level for him. He started to feel nervous while his face started to warm up. He was so confused on why he was feeling this way. Why was he so nervous around her? He snapped out of it and tried to regain his focus. "Barb. You made it."

"Sorry about that. I had to finish and close up for tonight." Barbara explained as she adjusted her glasses. "So you ready?"

"Yea. Come on." Dave said as he turned around. Barbara held onto his hand, catching him off guard once again. Dave was so glad Milo isn't here. Otherwise he would never hear the end of it.

They soon entered the restaurant. There were so many people there. A ludius named Peppino Spaghetti is working there with such speed and determination to keep the restaurant going while some of the others were helping him out. Dave recognize most of the people here since they were students and staff members. But not all of them are here. He is so thankful Milo is not here. They walked over and found a good table where they took.

As they sat down, a small man with beady eyes, a big nose, brown hair, and a brown moustache appared. It was Gustavo. "Hello there. Welcome to Peppino Pizza. Can I start you off with some drinks?"

"Tea." Barbara said.

"Coke." Dave said.

"Alright. I'll get the drinks for you." Gustavo said as he took notes and left.

Dave and Barbara waited on the drinks as they knew what they wanted. As soon as Gustavo returned, they ordered and were waiting for the food now. The moment was awkward as Dave was trying to get his mind straight. Trying to break the silence, he decided to ask. "So. How is business in the sushi bar?"
