"Ok, open your eyes." I say and Harry takes his hands off his eyes. I watch him as his mouth drops, a huge grin creeping onto his face. I can't help but smile myself too.

"The zoo!?" He says in surprise, pretty much jumping out of the car. I laugh and walk around to his side of the car as he gives me a peck on the cheek. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He says

"You sure like the zoo." I say, chuckling, as he takes his hand into mine. We begin skipping, swinging our hands together, into the zoo while ignoring all the odd looks that we're getting.

We reach the ticket gate and I show the 2 tickets I got to the ticket man. He nods and we walk inside.

"I wanna see the dolphins first!" Harry exclaims and I nod as we run towards the direction of the dolphins, according to the map. We eventually reach the place where they have the dolphin show and I walk in with Harry.

"Excuse me sir." Someone says from behind me. I turn around to see a younger looking woman with blue dyed hair, holding a bucket of fish. "This enclosure is closed until next Tuesday."

I sigh. "Is there any way we can see the dolphins?"

"Afraid not sir. Can you two please leave, we're not allowed to let people in here." She asks and I roll my eyes.

"Listen, I spent hours planning this as a perfect first date and I really don't want it to be ruined because of something as small as this." I half yell.

"Louis, don't worry." Harry says innocently, trying to walk out, but I put my hand out and pull him back, shaking my head.

"Please, can we at least see them for a short while?" I ask and the lady smiles.

"I think I may be able to do a little something. Come with me." She says and I turn around and give Harry a grin, to which he responds with a hopeful smile. We follow her into a small white room and she tells us to wait.

After about 2 minutes, she comes back with a key to open the next room. Doing so, she opens the room and reveals a huge enclosure full of dolphins in a huge pool.

"Oh my god!" Harry practically 'fanboys,' running off to the dolphins. The girl chuckles from beside me. We both watch him, gushing over the dolphins.

"I'm Jade, by the way." She says, holding her hand out for me to shake.

I shake her hand. "Louis."

"Your boyfriend's pretty cool." She says, more in a complimentary way, not in an 'Imma-steal-your-man', way. "You two are cute together."

"Thanks. Technically we aren't together yet. I was going to ask him today." I clarify and she smiles.

"Aw, good luck mate." She says and I nod with a small smile. "I think you should go sit with him now, he looks like he wants you to come." She says as I look at Harry, giving me a thumbs up. I laugh and say goodbye to her. "Oh! Here! I think he'd like it."

She hands me the bucket of fish so that we could feed the dolphins. I smile, thankfully at her, before running up to Harry and giving him the fish.

"Oh my god!" He says, excitedly and starts enthusiastically feeding the fish. I never realised how much he liked animals until now.

After a little while, Harry decides that it's time to say goodbye to the dolphins and move to another area.

The next area we end up going to is the Red Pandas, because Harry said we should go somewhere I wanted to go.

I've always liked red pandas. I don't know why, I just like them.

We end up getting to the area and there is a cardboard cut-out of an explorer and a red panda with the heads cut out so that you can put your own through.

"Harry come here!" I say, running towards it and popping my head through the red panda hole. Harry decides to be the explorer.

Since we have no one to take the picture, we end up taking a selfie. We both stand up and look at it, laughing at how stupid we look.

The rest of the day goes on perfectly. We end up seeing every animal Harry wanted to see and every animal I wanted to see, get a drink or two and now we're sitting in a café, eating lunch near the elephant enclosure.

"This has been perfect." Harry says, sipping on his coke.

"Like you." I say and he blushes. "Be my boyfriend?"

"Ok." He says before I plant a kiss onto his pink lips.
