Kamen Rider Aetherwing
Episode 14: "A Date to Remember"
(Opening Scene)
(The episode opens in Sunny Patch, the sun setting over the peaceful little village. The camera pans to Dragon and Lumi, his firefly girlfriend, walking side-by-side down the cobblestone path toward the Sunny Patch Cinema. Dragon looks nervous, fidgeting with his wings, while Lumi happily flits around him, glowing softly.)
Dragon (nervously adjusting his wings):
“So, uh... I guess... this is gonna be fun, right?”
Lumi (gently smiling):
“Of course! I’m really looking forward to it, Dragon. You’re going to love the movie!”
(Dragon chuckles awkwardly, still not quite used to the idea of a “date.” He’s been with Lumi for a while now, but his shyness and the slight challenges of his autism make him overthink every interaction.)
Dragon (anxiously):
“I—I hope so. I mean, movies are great, but... I just don’t know if I’m... good at dates. I don’t always know what to say or do. I—”
(Lumi gently places a tiny, glowing hand on his shoulder, smiling reassuringly.)
Lumi (calmly):
“Dragon, you’re doing just fine. Just be yourself. I love that about you. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
(Dragon looks down at his wings, letting out a soft sigh of relief, and gives her a small smile. His nervousness, though still there, eases a little in her presence.)
Dragon (softly):
“Thanks, Lumi. I’ll try my best.”
(Scene cuts to Sunny Patch Cinema, where a small crowd of bugs is gathered outside. The marquee reads “The Great Bug Adventure,” a thrilling action movie about bugs saving the world. Dragon and Lumi arrive at the entrance, and Lumi glows with excitement.)
Lumi (excitedly):
“This is it! I’ve heard so many good things about this movie! I think you’re really going to like it.”
(Dragon’s wings flutter nervously as he looks at the bright lights and the crowd. He can hear a few voices chatting nearby, and it starts to overwhelm him for a moment.)
Dragon (softly, to himself):
“Too many bugs... too many voices…”
(Lumi notices his discomfort right away and leans in closer, her soft glow calming him.)
Lumi (whispering gently):
“Hey, Dragon. It’s okay. We don’t have to be around all these bugs if you don’t want to. We can go inside, find a quiet spot.”
(Dragon looks up at her, feeling a little better knowing she understands. He nods appreciatively.)
Dragon (grateful):
“Yeah... I’d like that.”
(They walk into the theater, and Dragon takes a deep breath. Inside, the atmosphere is much calmer, with just the soft hum of the projector and the flickering lights of the screen. They find their seats in the middle of the theater, and Lumi flutters beside Dragon as he settles down, still a little unsure but more comfortable in this quieter space.)
Dragon (quietly):
“I... I’m glad we’re here together.”
Lumi (smiling brightly):
“Me too, Dragon. You’re so sweet.”
(As the lights dim, the previews start. Lumi leans closer to Dragon, and Dragon gently shifts so he’s slightly leaning in toward her. The warmth of her presence helps him relax more.)
(The movie begins, and the screen is filled with vibrant colors and exciting action sequences. Lumi watches the film intently, glowing brighter at the thrilling scenes. Dragon, however, is distracted. He’s still a little nervous but finds himself laughing at a few of the silly scenes. He looks over at Lumi, who is completely engrossed in the movie, her little glowing body lighting up with excitement.)
(A particularly intense scene comes on where the bugs in the movie are battling a giant villain. Lumi gasps with excitement, and Dragon can’t help but smile at her reaction.)
Dragon (whispering to himself, grinning):
“She’s so amazing...”
(At this moment, Dragon feels a burst of courage. He decides to do something spontaneous, something out of the ordinary for him. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small glowing firefly-shaped charm, which he had made for Lumi as a surprise.)
Dragon (whispering shyly):
“Lumi... I, uh, made something for you.”
(Lumi turns to him, her eyes widening in surprise as he gently hands her the charm.)
Lumi (beaming):
“Oh, Dragon, this is beautiful! It’s so thoughtful of you!”
(She takes the charm and presses it gently against her chest, her wings fluttering with happiness. Dragon smiles shyly but feels a warmth inside knowing he made her happy.)
Dragon (softly):
“I just thought... you’d like it.”
(The movie continues, and Dragon finds himself becoming more and more engrossed in it, laughing along with Lumi at the funny parts and even feeling the thrill of the action. He’s still a little shy, but the anxiety starts to fade. The entire experience, with Lumi by his side, feels natural. When the movie ends, the lights come back on, and the credits roll. Lumi stretches her wings out.)
Lumi (smiling warmly):
“That was so much fun! I’m so glad we came here, Dragon.”
Dragon (blushing slightly):
“Yeah, it was... really fun. I’m glad I came too.”
(They stand up, and Dragon is still a little shy but much more relaxed now.)
Dragon (mumbling):
“Maybe... we could do this again sometime?”
Lumi (playfully nudging him):
“I’d love to. How about next week?”
(Dragon looks at her, feeling a little nervous but also incredibly happy.)
Dragon (with a shy but sincere smile):
“Okay. Next week... it’s a date.”
(They walk out of the theater together, and the camera follows them as they head back toward their home in Sunny Patch, the setting sun casting a soft glow over their path. Dragon’s wings flutter a bit as they walk side by side, the soft glow of Lumi lighting their way.)
(Final Scene: Back in Sunny Patch, Dragon and Lumi are sitting on a quiet hill overlooking the peaceful village. The stars are starting to appear in the sky, and the evening feels serene.)
Dragon (smiling, looking at the stars):
“Thanks, Lumi... for making this date so special. I’ve never felt this... at peace before.”
Lumi (glowing warmly):
“I’m glad, Dragon. You’re perfect just the way you are.”
(Dragon smiles shyly, still unsure but happy that Lumi accepts him. The two share a peaceful moment, knowing that this date was just the beginning of many more to come.)
