After their breakfast, Andie once again awkwardly offered to treat Juliet to one place and another, until it was obvious that they were on a date.
First of all, they went to the movies, one deadpan sign they were trying to be all lover-y.
They actually asked the cashier if there were any romantic movies, but unfortunately for them, there were none.
They'd just settled for a Michael Bay movie.
Halfway through the movie, in the middle of a shaky-cam, eye boggling, explosion-packed sequence, there was light snoring behind them.
Andie'd ignored it, but Juliet's curiosity got the best of her, so she glanced behind her.
"Ross, I swear! Falling asleep in the middle of an action movie?" Someone whisper-yelled at the person who'd fallen asleep, throwing a handful of popcorn at their face.
They made a muffled groan as a reply, sitting up and popping the popcorn into their mouth lazily.
She had to make an effort to stop herself from laughing then.
After the movie, Andie'd excitedly pointed out the nearby aquarium-themed theme park. Juliet thought, why not, it'll make them happy, following after.
The entire time, they were acting like a child, pointing out any fish that swam by in the glass walls. She was hesitant to go in, commenting against the safety of the glass, but they grabbed her by the arm and continued foward, their crystal creatures padding audibly behind them.
They both paused at a snack stand to get something to eat, but after a careful debate on how safe it'd actually be to eat most all the food, they just bought a pair of ice cream bars in tinfoil wrappers.
She snacked on hers almost as soon as she bought it, greedily eating it up in an instant (Andie was panicking, thinking she ate the tinfoil).
They held onto theirs, saying that they'd rather wait for later. She said it'd definitely melt, but they insisted.
Surely enough, they made it through the entire place and it magically hadn't melted.
They ate it on their way out, going for a small walk on the pavement next to her.
Every so often, while Andie was looking away, Juliet'd sneak a bite from their ice cream bar. Once they finally caught her in the act, they told her to cut it out, to which she replied 'Never!' and stole what was left of it, dashing away.
Before coming back with an apology and another ice cream bar.
Both of them laughed, happily chatting about today's antics.
The day'd slid by quickly. A quick glance at the sky made her realize how late it was getting.
"Well!" She said, clapping her hands together. Beside her, her small familiar jumped.
"It's getting dark out, I best be going." She chuckled, standing on the edge of her toes to pet them on their head.
"Thanks, I had- I had fun., She admitted with a small smile.
They squealed in excitement. "I'm glad you liked the date, soulmate!" They grinned, giving her a light squeeze.
The smile on her face dropped when she heard this. Right. She'd forgotten about that. She was actually having fun for once.
"...Juliet?"
"Bye." She blurted out quickly, bolting off.
((oof i'm sorry, that was late-
but now i'm on holiday vacations! i'll be more active now! okay bye))
