I Love You 3000

The Date

It was quiet in the living room of Stark Tower. Pepper and Tony were curled up against each other, Tony watching TV and Pepper doing work on her tablet. Nothing but the sound of the TV could be heard until Tony paused the show and looked at Pepper.

"Hey Pep," he said quietly, stroking his girlfriend's hair.

"Hi," Pepper replied not looking up from her screen.

Tony cleared his throat. "So, I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight". The billionaire seemed anxious as he awaited Pepper's answer. "That's odd," Pepper thought, looking up at the man beside her.

The genius must've taken the look as one of confusion, as he quickly elaborated.

"It's just that we haven't gone out for a while and I thought it would be nice. I have a place in mind I think you'll like, but if you don't want to go that's fine, I can reschedule, I didn't think you had anything so-" Tony's ramble was cut off by a kiss.

"Of course I want to go on a date tonight!" Pepper said smiling. "I'll clear our schedules".

Tony nodded, then stood up from his seat, ignoring the questioning glance from his girlfriend. He wanted to make this night extra special for her, so he had a lot of planning to do. As soon as he reached his lab, he spoke to his AI, JARVIS.

"Hey Jarvis, order 200 of those glass crystal light things and make sure no one will be at Letchworth Park at 8:00," Tony said, pulling out the box he had been working on for the past month. His plan was to give it to Pepper tonight.

"Will, that be all sir?" JARVIS asked, just as intent as his creator to make this night perfect. Tony thought for a second, that came up with another thing to add to his list.

"Oh yeah, can you get that skirt Pepper had been wanting? The one from Livinchi?"

"I believe it is Givenchy sir" JARVIS corrected. Stark waved it off. Pepper never asked for anything, but Tony came across a Givenchy magazine with a heart around the $1,671 skirt. For a multi-billionaire, the cost of most things didn't matter. The $1,671 didn't make a dent in Tony's pocket. Even if it did, the lovestruck male would do anything for his Pep.

2 hours later all the supplies came in. He quickly stashed the lights, then quietly made his way to Pepper's room. Although they did share one, Tony had insisted Pepper keep her own. Thank Thor Pepper was at a meeting. He put the things on her bed, then returned to his lab. It was time to get the party set.
