Dustin's POV

It was the morning I had just eaten breakfast. And I sat on my bed fiddling with my hat nervous out of my mind. I was going to go ask Emily if she wanted to go out with me.

Steve had told me to just ask but that was easier said then done. I put on a nicer shirt it was a blue plaid and jeans. And for once didn't wear my hat. I told my mom goodbye and headed out. I didn't take my bike so I could rehearse some lines. "Hey would you maybe want go out tonight?" Nah that wasn't good. How did Steve do this?

Before I knew it I was at Emily's house. Swallowing my fear I walked up and knocked on the door. Straightened my shirt and stood taller. Emily's mom opened the door. "He-Hello mrs Tussle" I said trying to be as nice as I could.

A smile spread across her face. "Hello Dustin" she said. How did she know who I was? Did Emily tell her about me? That we were together.

"Is Emily home?" I asked.

"Yes she is,she's in her room" she said opening the door wider so I could come inside. The house was like the Byers but the kitchen and living room were switched.

"Second door on the left" she said pointing down the hall. I walked down the hall and stood in her doorway she was at her desk drawing humming a tune. I stepped into the room and started humming the song as well.

Emily turned around and smiled at me. "What's the occasion?" She said standing up and walking over to me. Oh god I'm committed now I have to ask her.

"Well" I said walking over and sitting on her bed. She came and sat next to me.

"I was wondering...if you would want to go out with me tonight" I asked. She didn't answer.

She leaned in and kissed me on the cheek "I would love to go out with you tonight Dustin Henderson" she said.

My face grew hot and my stomach knotted she said yes. We talked for a bit planing on were to meet and what time. We decided on 6:00 in the big field behind the school. We said goodbye and I walked out of her room she walked me out. "Goodbye Dustin" her mom called I waved to her.

"Bye,see you tonight" Emily said as I walked out of the house.

"See you tonight" I said. I wasn't expecting her to say yes but I had a plan for what I was going to do.

Emily's POV.

Dustin had asked me out! I couldn't believe it. What was I going to wear?

"What's tonight?" My mom asked as Dustin left.

"Dustin's taking me out" I said.

"Well then,we will have to get you a nice dress!" My mom exclaimed grabbing the car keys.

"No mom it's your day off you should relax I'll wear something I already have" I said.

"Nope!" She said I knew I couldn't change her mind. We got in the car and drove to the store. After a couple hours I found a dress. It was yellow and orange kinda plain but it had a ruffled skirt.

~~~~~~~~~~Time jump~~~~~~~~~

My mom dropped me off at the school and I walked around the back. To find candles on the ground leading me to the soccer field. And to Dustin he stood in his blue plaid shirt and jeans. But he also had on a black tie. He stood there with a grin plastered on his face.

"My lady" he said putting his hand out. I took it and he lead me to a blanket surrounded by candles. I couldn't believe that he did all this for me.

"Dustin this is amazing" I said sitting down on the blanket.

"Nah it's nothing" he said. Then he pulled out a basket and pulled out sandwiches for us.
