Our Night On Valentine's Day

Would you like..

"Okay, now's your chance." Wasabi and Tadashi pushed Hiro towards Gogo's direction.

Recess finally came. They were at the cafeteria. Marble floor, cieling about 30 foot tall, wide as a normal sized hall. They sat practically at the corner, near the entrance. Gogo was taking food at the food display stand where a woman was handing her a burger, a banana and a bottled mineral water.

"Uhhh..." Hiro hesitated. He looked back at the two older boys, nervous.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Tadashi persuaded. He used his hand to make a sign as in 'go on'.

Hiro reached his target, feeling unsure about all this. Because of that, tapping Gogo's shoulder came to his mind.

"You know, if he does this, you have to too." Wasabi smiled, not taking his eyes off of the two youngsters as Tadashi's smirk turned upside down, just realizing.

Gogo's face turned first followed by her body at the same time as her hair. Her black and purple shiny bangs swayed its way covering her right eye. She blew her pink bubblegum with a straight face like always as Hiro stuttered in amazement.

"Hiro?" She asked after the bubblegum exploded. Curiosity could be sensed in her. "What do you want?" She chewed her gum, making sounds. And that makes him even more anxious.

"Uhh.." he looked at Wasabi and Tadashi before Tadashi mouthed, 'would you go to the dance with me?'

Gogo faced towards the older boys because of Hiro. The two of them quickly faced towards the other way and talked and laughed as though they had a topic.

"Uhh.. Gogo." His voice was edgy but he had courage. He needed to do this. Gogo looked at him, with seriousness.

"I was just thinking." He paused for a moment and looked at both of her sparkly eyes. She blew her bubblegum again, covering her nose and small chin. "Would you go to the dance with me?"

The sound of Gogo's bubblegum exploding caught everyone's attention. After a few seconds of awkward, everyone turned back to their own lives like nothing happened.

****

Tadashi laughed hysterically as soon as Hiro arrived at their table with a tray of food. Wasabi looked at his friend in disbelief.

"I can't believe she said no!" He laughed. Hiro looked at his brother with patience, ready to strike dozens of pins with a bowling ball.

"She didn't. She just doesn't go to dances." Hiro smirked at his brother while Wasabi just looked at the two with intensity and interests.

"You believed that?" He smiled, half happy and half pity. He almost had a thought that his little bro was vulnerable.

"Yes, because it suits her personality." Hiro had a point.

"Well I think she's lying." Tadashi fought back.

"Okay, what I'm thinking is that how in the world is Tadashi going to ask Honey?" Wasabi joined in, tossing a new topic to the two. At last they had a more important discussion. Hiro smiled at the thought.

"Oh no, I'm not doing that. Gogo's not going." Tadashi leaned against the table, slurping a cup of blueberry juice which he took from Hiro's tray.

Hiro took his juice back from Tadashi's hand and put it on the table. Wasabi came closer to Tadashi and said, "still. According to our deal, you have to ask Honey to the dance if Hiro ask Gogo. And he did."

Tadashi made a do-i-have-to? Face which made him look like he was four years old. Wasabi and Hiro made themselves to not let Tadashi get away with this.
"Fine."
