"What are you planning to do?" One of Klaus's close friends, Rick, asked him a couple of days later.

Klaus called him for his advice because he knew that Rick had quite a few girlfriends in the past, while Klaus only had one.

"I'm not sure." Klaus shrugged. "I was thinking about bringing her to the skating rink again, but that would be stupid since we already went there for a date."

"That's not stupid if you know she enjoys going there." Rick pointed out. "What else does she like to do?"

"She likes music." Klaus answered.

"How about you take her down to the cafe Friday for Karaoke night?" Rick offered. "You could eat and have a good time."

"Rick, you're brilliant!" Klaus cheered and then slouched back in the chair when he realized something. "She doesn't like to sing."

"You do though." Rick pointed out. "Maybe you can show her off that beautiful voice of yours and then she'll fall even more in love with you."

Oh I hope so.

Friday night came around faster than Klaus expected. He once again didn't tell her where they were going, but did tell her to dress accordingly.

When Rick told him of this cute date idea, it got Klaus thinking of a song her started to write for Anna. It wasn't quite finished yet, but her knew that she'd love to hear it.

He was more nervous than he had ever been around Anna that night. While they walked hand in hand to the cafe, Klaus couldn't help but think of how it could go terribly wrong and he'd end up embarrassing himself.

But when Anna squeezed his hand, his fears went away and his love for this amazing girl replaced them.

"We're at a cafe?" Anna asked when they arrived. "For Karaoke night?" Anna looked over at a grinning Klaus. "Klaus, you know that I can't sing!"

He grabbed her face in his hands, making her look at him in the eyes. "I know, that's why I'm going to be the one singing."

"You can sing?" Anna asked. "Since when?"

"Since I first opened my mouth." Klaus grinning. "Even my cries as a child were music to someone people's ears."

They ate and watched while other people shot their shot on stage. Some were good and some were bad, but all that Klaus cared about was that Anna seemed to be enjoying herself and was having the time of her life.

Now all that could make it better was what Klaus was about to do next when his turn came up.

"You'll do great." Anna said kissing him on the cheek.

Klaus walked onto the stage and felt the nervousness of stage fright start to creep in his bones, but that all soon vanished when he took one look at the huge smile on Anna's face.

It had only been a little over two months since they'd met each other and little old Anna grew up the courage to put him in his place. Klaus didn't think that anything would be come out of it, but he was glad that something did.

"Anna, this one is for you." Klaus said before singing his heart out to the girl in the black dress who he'd gladly be taking home tonight.
