Date Night


Enter this Once Upon a Time opportunity to find your Happily Ever After.

"This is ridiculous. Paano mo ba ako napapayag dito?"

"Come on, Maine. Nandito na rin lang tayo, kaya halika na. Pasok na!"

Coleen, her sister, literally pushed her to the entrance. They're at BGC, in one of its famous building, to attend to a speed dating activity. Kung ano-ano rin kasi naiisip ng isang ito. Dinamay pa ako, hay.

"Hi, Ma'am! Good evening! Welcome to Once an Ever After Speed Dating Night! Here is your name card." The lady give them a gold card each with a name on the back. "Once you enter and take a seat on your designated table that will be the name that you'll use. It will be your own prerogative if you'll give your own name after the stated time to the partner you've like."

Maine looked at the name on her gold card, "CANDY GIRL" That's my name for tonight? Argh, this is really ridiculous. I'll charge it to experience na lang. At least, nasubukan.

"Ahh... ang sweet naman ng name mo!" Coleen said taking a peek on her name card.

She looked back. "Ikaw, ano?"

Pasimpleng nag-beautiful eyes si Coleen at sinabi, "BEAUTIFUL" then her sister laughs, dumila sa kanya bago sinabi, "Gosh! Promise me next time, pipigilan mo ako sa mga ganito. Promise me?!"

Tumawa si Maine at tumango. "Sure. This will be your last and my last time to allow you to drag me into this. Deal?"

"Deal! Tara na"

Nakahanap sila ng upuan sa bandang dulo ng room, magkatabi ang table nila, kaya naman magkakakitaan sila agad.



Alden, huffed and puffed to annoyance but to no avail, his bestfriend Mike gets what he wants. Natalo kasi siya sa deal nila, Mike wins. Kaya naman ang consequence na binigay nito sa kanya ay to accompany him to a speed dating event.

"Come on, bro. Kapag nakasimangot ka at nakakunot ang noo walang babae na magugustuhan yun." Nagtaas pa ng isang kilay si Mike then snickered at him. "Sabagay, kahit ganyan ang expression mo, takaw pansin ka pa rin, Tisoy."

"Nagsalita ang hindi takaw pansin. Mas madaming nakatingin sa iyo, uy! At saka, hayaan mo na ako, pumayag na nga akong sumama sa iyo eh. I don't have time for this. You know how busy I am"

Tinapik ni Mike balikat niya. "We both are. This is just a way to unwind. And besides, my mom was the one who entered our name here." Tumawa ito bago bumulong, "Natatakot na ata sila ni Daddy na ikaw na lang ang mas madalas kong kasama bukod sa mga walls ng office namin"

"Kaya nga sumama na rin ako. I can't say no to your mom"

"Ang sabihin mo, ayaw mo lang makuha ko si life-size, Ironman 2 mo, that or this ang deal natin"

"Oo na, sige na. Talo na nga ako, di ba? Halika na, let's get this over with"

They entered the premises.

"Hello, Sir! Good evening! Welcome to Once an Ever After Speed Dating Night! Here is your name card." The lady give them a gold card each with a name on the back. "Once you enter and take a seat on your designated table that will be the name that you'll use. It will be your own prerogative if you'll give your own name after the stated time to the lady partner you've like. Enjoy the night."

Alden stared at the name on his card, "CANDY MAN" Seriously? Ito ang name ko for tonight?! Hay! Okay, once in a lifetime lang naman ito at di ko na uli makikita ang makakausap ko, kaya let's do this. Tumingin siya kay Mike, "What's your name?"

Nag-pogi pose si Mike at sinabi, "HANDSOME, bagay ba?"

Di napigilang matawa ni Alden. Humagalpak din ng tawa si Mike.

"Oh boy, this is going to be a night to remember" nagpupunas pa ng luha sa mata dahil sa kakatawa na sabi ni Mike.

"Let's make a vow that whatever happens tonight will never come out of this room. Sa ating dalawa lang, Promise?" Alden said, suddenly serious as if his life depended on it.

Mike nodded. "Promise, bro." They finished their vow with the friendship handshake na na-master na nila kahit nakapikit bago tuluyang naupo sa table na napili nila.


...That night truly becomes the night to remember.

It was the night Alden met Maine and where Coleen met Mike.

Once upon a time, the Beautiful Coleen sat across Handsome Mike.

Once upon a time, Candy Girl Maine met her sweet Candy Man Alden.

There Ever After started that night, that Once in a Lifetime Date Night...

and it continues five years after at the altar...saying their "I Do's".
