Brooke headed to the Divas locker room. While AJ and Naomi hadn't made it back yet, the rest of the Divas were in there. When she walked in, Nikki glanced at her and Brie whispered something to her twin.

Brooke walked to her things. She set down the Divas Championship and grabbed her outfit for the night.

After getting dressed, she grabbed her things and started to head out.

"Hey, Brooke!"

She turned around to look at Nikki, who had approached her with Brie close behind.

"Oh, hey," Brooke greeted.

"Where are you off to?" Nikki asked.

"Well, um..."

"Oh my god," Brie exclaimed, grinning. "Are you going on a date?"

"Maybe...?"

"Is it with Zack?" Nikki asked. Brooke just nodded. "That's awesome! Well, you look great."

"Thanks," She replied, smiling.

"You have to tell us about it later, okay?" Brie said.

"Yeah, sure," Brooke said, nodding.

"Now, go!" Nikki exclaimed, turning Brooke around and leading her toward the door.

Brooke laughed. "I'm going, I'm going."

Brooke exited the locker room and began walking down the hall. She reached the men's locker room, and sure enough, Zack was standing outside, waiting.

When he saw her, he smiled. "Hey!" He paused. "You look...amazing!"

When Nikki told her that, she didn't think much of it, but now that Zack had told her that, she was blushing. Her outfit – a white, sleeveless lace dress with a brown belt and some tan flats – wasn't too extravagant, but she wanted to look good for her date, especially since she wasn't sure where they were going.

"I haven't been on a date in such a long time," Brooke confessed. "This is my first date in three years, and I'm honestly glad that it's with Zack." She smiled.

"Thanks..." Brooke said, giving him a small smile. He didn't say anything, but he kept staring at her. She raised an eyebrow. "So...?"

Zack slightly shook his head. "Oh, right. Come on." He offered her his arm, which she took, and they began walking out of the arena.

When they reached his car, he made a point to open her door for her. She smiled and thanked him, sitting down, and he closed the door.

He began driving and they made small talk. Finally, he stopped at a tall building. Brooke looked out the window at it.

She looked back at him. "Is this the GM Renaissance Center?"

Zack smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Have you ever been inside?"

She shook her head. "No, I've only ever driven by." She glanced back at the building. "What are we doing here?"

"You'll see."

Before she could respond, Zack got out of the car, once again opening her door for her. They walked inside together, and he led her to an elevator. Once on it, he hit the button to take them to floor 72.

Brooke widened her eyes. "What's on floor 72?"

"Our date."

She just sighed, but smiled. The elevator stopped a few times, letting people get on and off. Finally, they reached floor 72. When they got off, Brooke looked around. They were in a restaurant, but why it was 72 floors up, she didn't know. A few of the tables were occupied, but most of them weren't, considering it was getting late.
