The afternoon was a bit rainy, but the amount of babies being delivered today was low, so everybody could go home early. Junior sighed as he finished his last document of the day. He had been wanting to do this quickly because he had something else he had to do. He had to get ready for a date, or at least, he hoped Tulip considered it a date.
Last night...
Junior walked inside Tulip's workshop and saw her working on a strange machine. She was sweaty and her clothes were stained with oil, but that gave her some of her charm, he supposed.
"Hey, Tulip."
"Junior! I didn't hear you come in."
"Oh, I'm leaving soon, I just came to drop by this folder on the... baby factory the other day." He said remembering how the machine mystiriously repaired itself with some... love.
Tulip blushed. "Oh, ok then"
"I also wanted to ask... if you have anything to do tomorrow evening"
"Don't think so. Why?"
"Well, I was thinking on going out to eat on some fancy restaurant in main land. Haven't been to one in a long time..."
"Ok..."
"I was wondering if you would like... to come with me?"
Tulip's cheeks turned the color of her hair. "Um... sure! Why not?"
"Great!" Junior blushed. He shook it off and used his deeper voice to cover up his excitement. "So, I'll be picking you up at seven?"
"Sounds good!"
And now Junior was getting cold feet as he stood in front of the mirror. He had chosen to go with a button shirt this time, even if it limited his ability to fly. The shirt was dark blue with a black tie. He had to admit, he looked damn good. But wait... he wondered how good Tulip would look, or if she decided to go with her work clothes, he had no problem.
He headed on foot to Tulip's place. Very few workers were still roaming around. Some eyed him with a knowing eye...
He finally reached the workshop and knocked on the door.
"In a minute!"
He sighed and fixed his tie for what it seemed to be the eleventh time that night. The door opened and Junior could not believe his eyes. He had invited Tulip, not... this beautiful girl. But if this was Tulip... he really wouldn't. At all.
"Tulip?"
Tulip stood in the doorway in a knee long pink dress with her hair fixed up in an elegant bun and slight makeup. She smiled nervously. "Is it too much?"
"No! No, why would it be? You look gorgeous."
"Jeje, thanks..." Tulip said in a small voice.
"We are.taking the flying car, right?"
"Well, duh! You can't fly in that shirt. It is nice by the way."
He smirked at her. "Well, thank you, Miss Tulip."
"Alright. I'll drive since you are a terrible driver."
OOO
The ride to main land was quiet, but the comfortable quiet. The wind was cold, but luckly, it was not raining.
"Over there." Junior pointed at a fancy looking place.
They landed beside the restaurant and parked the car. This restaurant was the fansiest and closest there was to the mountain. Seeing storks here was not an uncommon sight.
