A Character's World

A First Date?

(Robyn's POV)

 I was finishing up the project for the day when Henry asked me a simple question that made my heart race. "Do you want to hang out after our class tomorrow?" 

 "Yes! I m-mean, sure. Can I ask what's the occasion?" I forced myself to calm down. 

 "What do you mean?" he asked with confusion.

 I really did not want to stuff this up. It was the perfect chance to go on a date with him. "Well, we never really talked before we got paired for this project," I expounded.

 "Oh, I guess it is a little weird then, huh?" he laughed. "I just think you are a pretty girl and I want to know you better." 

 My heart skipped a beat. He thinks I'm pretty?! "Sure, it sounds fun. Your dorm room?" I asked, grinning like a schoolgirl in love. He did not live in Goldwin City, so he resided at the campus. 

 "That suits me. See you tomorrow, Robyn." Even him saying my name made me flustered.

 I shut my computer down and squealed. "Calm down, Robyn. It's not a date. He only wants to hang out," I told myself. I went to bed that night full of happiness.

 The next day, Caleb was getting ready for work when he asked me something. "What's got you so happy?" he inquired. 

 "Henry invited me to hang out after class," I smiled.

 Caleb looked worried for my safety. "Where are you hanging out?" 

 "His dorm room," I responded. 

 "Alone?" he persisted. I understood what he was getting at.

 "Caleb, I'm not going to do anything with him. It's just two friends hanging out together," I rolled my eyes and grinned bashfully.

 He shrugged. "It's your life and I won't interfere with it. But if I can give some advice? Don't ever go into a room alone with him." 

 "Caleb, you're being paranoid." I playfully smacked him. "You don't see me being paranoid about Monika anymore." 

 "That's because we can trust her." 

 I raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying you don't trust Henry?" 

 "If I'm being brutally honest? No," Caleb said. 

 I gasped. "R-Really?" 

 "Robyn, we all think Henry is a little weird. None of us want you to go near him," Caleb answered truthfully. I said nothing and sulked. Caleb sighed. "Guess I'm taking the bus home, then?" I didn't answer him.

 I dropped him off at his workplace and drove to my college. I'll just have to invite Henry to one of our social functions, like the election speech. Providing Reuben Cob wins, of course. Then my friends will see how great of a boy Henry is.

(Tiki's POV)

 I was fully engrossed in my game. I had to beat it. The sooner I did the sooner I can summon Marth.

 "You know, every time I've seen you play that game you've kept Marth as far away from Shiida as possible," Sayori commented. Luckily she did not put two and two together. 

 "R-Really? What a coincidence," I nervously chuckled. I let Mar-Mar marry Shiida the first time. I refused to make that mistake again.

 Someone knocked on the door. Sayori swung the door open to reveal... Morgan. I know Lucina said she was eager, but this is ridiculous. Surely she hasn't finished her project yet?

 She bolted inside and hugged me tightly. "Tiki! I'm so glad you can walk again!" I laughed. Morgan had this effect where she would instantly brighten any room she entered. Robin and Lucina are extremely lucky to have her as their daughter.
