it all started with a long lost brother

NONE

By the resources, unsure of whether they were reliable, questioning was out of it since it was supposed to be part surprise part date and the whole part was waving the board "Berry I Love You Date Me" . There was no time to argue whether it would qualify for a fabulous first date.

Yes, the queen had succumbed to peasant methods. Instead of bringing down elephants in front of Berry's house holding a ring with the biggest gem, he trusted in the resources, where it showed 10 quality date ideas.

Without having a proper consultation with his ministers which consisted of him, his mind and Knight, he went ahead and booked a class of dance.

Yes, my friends, it would actually be romantic if he had chosen ballroom but Ray....

RAY

Myself, Ray was on the way to pick up an unsuspecting Berry to whisk him away on the most exciting first date.

If only Present Ray knew Future Ray was going to curse at Past Ray for his stupidity.

I hope I didn't look too underdressed. I pat down my best suit, I guess I went a little overboard with Armani, but I kinda feel I should have thrown the gold boots instead of Timberlands.

I rang the doorbell, honestly a little cringed at myself. It would have been fine if I was taking him to prom. Well kinda. The dance was similar anyways, right? Will he be weirded that I signed us up to a dance class without confiding in him? Well I mean it was a surprise so..

If he doesn't like it I hope I didn't lose the receipts. That was a money feeding monster academy. Or whatever it was.

I waited for a moments when someone opened the door. Oh it's my future mother in law!

She looked at me for a while then screamed for Berry, "Hey is it prom today?!"

Another yell echoed back, that is, of Berry, "what?!" And a bit of shuffling. In a moment Berry was right beside his mother, took a look at me and gaped, "Why are you wearing that?"

To flirt a little, I winked at him, rendering both of them flustered with mother in law giving an excuse and leaving in a jiffy, "It's a surprise, come I want to take you somewhere."

"Uh ok, let me change." He muttered going upstairs to his bedroom. Awe he didn't invite me.

"It's a date, Berry!" I yelled, not forgetting Casey's advice.

I could hear spluttering and choking and someone falling down.

As I was waiting for Berry, I was contemplating my choices. The heat was scalding me alive and I was scared that I was going to be sweaty and smelly in just a few minutes. I just wish I don't look a chicken covered in oil.

I could hear Berry coming down the stairs while I was fanning myself, in a flash he was right in front of me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't invite you inside. You didn't tell me where you are going and on top you wore a suit so.." Betty trailed off looking at his outfit.

I looked at his outfit and god damn how can he look so adorable?! That pink sweater with sweater paws and faded jeans made him the cutest person. Ever.

I hope that place has air conditioning otherwise we both are dying on our very first date.

I was driving with Berry on the passenger seat. If Berry was someone I didn't know, I still wouldn't gloat about this car being mine. Because it wasn't. It's my dad's whom I spent hours convincing that I wasn't doing anything illegal just so I could take it.
