Falling for a Furry: A Great Change

Dinner

Jackson starts the engine and hits the automatic door button for Taciana.
Jackson: "Hop in."
Taciana: "I didn't know you had an automatic door option for this car."
Jackson: "This ride is full of surprises, bunny boo."
Taciana: "Oh you."
........At the Restaurant........
A young raccoon waitress named Ava comes up to them and seats them at an outdoor table. It's a quiet atmosphere, perfect for a private dinner.
Ava: "Hi there, folks, I am Ava and I will be taking care of you for the night."
Jackson: "Hello, Ava. I would like the grand feast with the garlic shrimp, lobster tail, crab legs, mussels, and a side salad."
Ava: "Okay. What would you like to drink, hun?"
Jackson: "She and I will have two mango daiquiris without the rum."
Ava: "Got all of that. What would you like to have, miss?"
Taciana: "I will take a full vegetable platter with a side of garlic bread."
Ava: "Coming right up."
........Two minutes later.........
Ava: "Hey Vern! I need one full veggie platter, one grand feast with a salad, and two mango daiquiris with no rum!"
Vern: "Sure thing, Ava. I am on it!"
........Fifty minutes later........
Vern: "Order up, Ava!!!"
Ava: "Thanks Vern."
Ava carries the heavy tray outside and gasps at the sight before her. Jackson and Taciana are holding hands and dancing to the music of the small band outside near their table.
Ava: "Ahem. Hi there, your food is ready. Here you go."
Jackson: "Oh right. Babe, our food awaits."
Taciana: "Excellent."
Jackson: "This all looks delicious. Thank you."Ava: "You're welcome."
Taciana: "Why did she only say that to you, but not me?"
Jackson: "Sweetheart, don't think about that and let's enjoy our dinner, okay?"
Taciana: "Alright."
......1 hour and 30 minutes later.......
Taciana: "I am so full, bae. Could we save the rest for later when we return home?"
Jackson: "Definitely, Tacci. Also, I would rather save the food for tomorrow's dinner than to waste it."
Taciana: "Glad you agree, honey. Ava!"
Ava: "Yes?"
Taciana: "Could we get some carry out boxes to take home, please?"
Ava: "Absolutely! Be right back."
Jackson: "See no need for suspicion."
Taciana: "You are right, I was worried for nothing."
.......Five minutes later.......
Ava gave them three take home boxes for their leftovers and placed the receipt in the center of the table showing how much they owe.
Taciana: "This whole meal costs one hundred and fifty dollars."
Jackson: "We can split the check, Tacci, no worries. You can pay seventy-five and I'll pay seventy-five."
Taciana: "My intelligent boyfriend. Sounds good to me."
She places her and Jackson's debit cards on the table.
Jackson: "Thanks for getting your mom to find a way for me to make payments."
Taciana: "It's no biggie baby. I am simply happy that I got to spend this night with you."
Ava: "Okay, you're all set. Have a wonderful night, folks."
Jackson: "Bye, Ava."
Taciana: "Bye."
Ava then starts cleaning the table and notices a fifty-dollar cash tip left with a note.
Writing on the Note: "You showed exceptional customer service Ava. Here is your gratuity."
Ava: "He left this for me? The buff and handsome dhole furry left this for me!"
Shauna: "Someone looks happy."
Ava: "Just that this is the best shift of my life."
Shauna: "Huh, right."
........35 minutes later........
Jackson and Taciana arrive back home to a worried Mrs. and Mr. Rabeau at the front door with their feet tapping.
Mrs. Rabeau: "Where have you two been? It is past eleven o'clock at night."
Mr. Rabeau: "Go upstairs and get some sleep immediately, Taciana!"
Taciana: "Daddy, we were just out having dinner."
Jackson: "She is right, sir. Nothing bad happened."
Mr. Rabeau: "Hmmm, alright then."
Taciana: "We better get to bed, Jackson! We've got to finish our school project tomorrow, building the homes."
Jackson: "You are right. I can't wait to finish. Goodnight everyone!"
