Sweetheart

Aina had eventually come back down to the living room. Natsu looked up from the TV and looked at her blankly.

"So let me get this straight. You changed out of a dress...to put on a skirt? Isn't that, like, the same exact thing?"

"I wouldn't expect you to understand."

"Girls are weird."

Aina shook her head and grabbed her keys, dragging Natsu out the door. They had eventually arrived at the restaurant and were seated.

"So," Natsu started, "I'll be honest. I have no idea what to do on dates."

"I kinda figured," Aina laughed.

Natsu huffed and blocked his view of her with his menu, holding it up in front of his face. Aina giggled and pulled his menu back down.

"Your eyes change colors," Natsu suddenly stated.

"Oh, really? I guess I just always assumed they were boring and brown."

"Who ever said brown eyes were boring?"

Aina hesiantly peeked up from her menu, quietly waiting for his continued thought.

"What?"

"Do you seriously think brown eyes aren't boring? I had someone compliment me by saying that I had 'mud eyes' once."

"Well they turn gold in the sun, and they're darker right now in this light."

Aina smiled brightly and turned back to her menu.

"What?"

"It's just...I was always told that my brown eyes made me boring."

"Who said that?"

"Tyler."

"You don't seriously trust what he says, do you?"

She shrugged and said that that was what she was always told. Natsu looked at her funny, but their conversation was cut off when the waiter came. They ordered their food and looked around the restaurant, both of them kind of paranoid that someone was going to walk in and see them.

"Now who's ready for some trivia?! All participants sign in on the Ziosk! We'll be starting in five minutes."

Aina gasped and looked at Natsu with sparkling eyes. Natsu chuckled and handed her the machine to sign in.

"This is gonna be so fun. I love trivia."

"No! I knew that one!"

"Then why didn't you get it right?" Natsu teased.

"I would've totally gotten it right if I could've remembered the name."

The announcer asked the next question, "What bone are babies born without?"

Aina gasped and quickly wrote down the answer. The announcer revealed that the answer was knee caps, and Aina cheered loudly.

"You're really into this," Natsu laughed.

"We get a free dessert if we win, and I want that cookie," Aina responded, full of determination.

The questions had kept coming, and they were tied with one more table. The last question would potentially decide who the winner was.

"Looks like we have a showdown!" The announcer shouted. "Let's see who wins it all! The category is sports. Your question: Which team did the Thrashers beat to get their first ever shutout?"
