First Date Frets | A Pixane Oneshot

First Date Frets

WARNING: I got carried away. This is supposed to be a oneshot, as the title says. I think oneshots usually range from 1000-3000 words, but I'm no oneshot expert. This is an extra-long oneshot. So much so, that it could be a two-shot or a three-shot! If those are real things. Anyway, buckle in, grab your popcorn, and enjoy almost 6000 words of Pixane fluffy goodness.

The ninja had just completed a small mission and were flying home on the Destiny's Bounty as the sun set.

Zane was gazing at Pixal in that particular way. You know, like she was his whole world.

And Cole happened to notice what was going on and tapped his friend on the shoulder. "Ask her out."

The nindroid jumped a little. "Ah-I do not know...she might say no. The risk...I would not want to embarrass myself."

Cole scoffed. "Come on! She's like your chocolate cake!" his pal whispered. "And you guys have wanted to go out together forever! First, it was the overlord, then she was in your head for a while, and then we were in the first realm, but now's your chance! Go for it!"

Zane sighed. Now that she was around him in person all the time, he felt even more strongly towards her. Her sweet aura, like she was inspiring everyone to do their best, the way she never backed down from a challenge, how she did her hair in that cute little puff! Everything about her made his processor sputter.

"I do not know..." Even now, she was so out of his league. Beautiful, smart, and a great fighter? He was incredibly lucky just to see her every day.

Cole patted him on the back. "Come on, buddy! You can do it. She'll definitely say yes."

"Alright." Zane took a deep breath. "I will try."

"Yeah!" his friend replied softly. "It might be a while before you get another chance like this."

Zane didn't seem to be taking any steps; he was just frozen in place. How ironic.

Cole gave him a gentle nudge towards Pixal.

The ice ninja opened his mouth, "I, I wanted to ask you," he stammered.

She looked up from what she was doing, and at him with those beautiful glowing green eyes. "What is it, Zane?" she said his name so sweetly, he almost thought he was going to collapse right then and there.

Yup. R.I.P. Zane Julien. Cause of death; lovesickness.

His lips quivered, trying to find the right words. "Wou-would you like goo toe to Alphonso's with me for dinner tomorrow night?"

Her eyes lit up, quite literally. "Oh, like a date?" she inquired.

Cole grinned with support, holding up a thumb of approval.

Zane's ice blue eyes flickered nervously. "I-uh, yes?"

She gave a silvery smile. "I'd love to."

Zane could practically hear his systems whirring with excitement as she walked away to join the others.

He had a giant dopey grin on his face, but he didn't care at all. He had a date with the girl of his dreams.

Cole clapped happily. "What did I tell you? It was nothing to worry about."

The nindroid laughed softly. "Based on your previous track record with females, my trust in your methods was not one-hundred-percent, but I am happy that it worked."
