Chapter 14: It's a date! (Apparently...)

"You know, Marie, this almost feels like a date or something! Only except I have actually never been on one." Marie with her adventurous mind had the perfect idea "I know what we can do! We can pretend to be on a date! Like they do in the cartoons I watch!" "Grandtastic idea Marie! Let's Do it right now!" he got up out the chair.

DATING START!!!

"Now then" he pulls out a book with a heart on it "The FIRST rule to dating is to be presentable to your date. And might I say, your choice in overalls are really fantabulous!" "And I like your fuzzy slippers! They're really cute!" Zachary sweated nervously. He thought to himself for a moment. "(Oh no... Compliment about my style of clothing...!)" The date power went up a bit. "Ha! Do not fret! For I will not let this date falter! Now let's see here." he says flipping through random book pages. "Aha! The SECOND rule of a date! Bring food! And on that note I have already taken that into consideration! Not unless you can make a rebuttal!" Marie quickly reached in he inventory. "I am kind of hungry. So we can share the food I have in here!" The food was surprisingly still good. Spider Donuts. Grilled Cheese. Annoying Dog- wait she didn't pick that up. Oh great. The Annoying Dog hopped out the bag and absorbed the Vanilla Muffins. It then floated off-screen while Dogsong played in the background. Zachary stood there dumbfounded. "B-but... The muffins..." "Don't worry, Zachary! We can still eat spider donuts! Or you can have my last piece of grilled cheese!" "(Grilled Cheese... My favorite! She's good. Too good. Perhaps even better than I thought)" Zachary took the grilled cheese and bit into it suspiciously. His eyes widened "Wait! This is Peppi's grilled cheese! That's my only favorite!" The date power meter went up twice, nearly reaching the end. "You know what? Forget the book!" he threw it out the.... Window? "I'll have you know that I will not be beaten at dating! I am the best at it! Now it is my turn to surprise you! A hidden surprise from the Fantabulous Zachary!" he slides off the 'screen' for a bit and comes back with 'cool' clothes. It was his brothers. A yellow striped cap with a purple sweater and green vest. "Hah! I bet you can't find my secret here! It is well hidden, and only a genius with cunning and outside thinking will find it!" "Um.... Is it in your pocket?" "Nope! Most secrets are NEVER hidden In pockets! Try again!" "Uh... How about your hat? Rabbits always have a secret in hats!" "Ha! You wish! My only secret in this hat is my fantabulous head of spiky hair that gets brushed every day!" Marie was not losing hope. She checked behind him and saw a zipper on the back of the vest. Zachary looked behind him "O-oh! So I see you found a zipper! But the truth shall be revealed as soon As you unravel the zipper on the vest!" Marie unzipped the vest. Falling out the vest was........

Carrots. Fresh carrots! "I bet you weren't expecting that, were you!? Wait.... Carrots!? I didn't put carrots in there!" Marie picked one up. She took a bit out of one. "These don't taste like carrots at all! It tastes like.... Hot Dogs...?" "My brothers hot dog carrots!" "They taste delicious!" the date power broke the box.

Zachary closed his eyes "Marie, I'm gonna have to end this date here.... I realize that this isn't gonna work out between us. You see, you, are a child, and I... Well I... Am just a rabbit 'mask' even I don't know my own age. But I do know one thing, this date was fun. But... I just don't like you the way you like me! Lets just call it quits." Marie was VERY confused. Still, she did have to keep going. "Well it was very nice going on a fake date with you Zachary! And don't feel bad! Like one of my friend's said, be patient and it'll be worth it!" "I guess so. Well, see you around, Marie!" she hugged Zachary tightly. See you later!"
