A bright smile formed on Belle's face as her friend opened the door. A heat rose to her cheeks at the compliment he offered and stepped inside with a polite nod of her head. "Thank you, Aladdin." She said, choosing his full firstname over her favored nickname. "You're not too bad yourself." She paused, realizing that probably wasn't the best thing to say. "Well.. I mean.. that is.. You look incredibly handsome." She was still blushing as she looked around at his home, a familiar place, but she was always impressed. She smiled at a photograph that sat on one of the tables near the door as they walked towards the dining room. It was a picture of the gang from the diner: Tink, Ruby, Aladdin, and their friends: Belle, Peter, Caspian, and Mallory. It was some party or another, but they were all there. I wonder how much is about to change Belle thought as her eyes found Aladdin. Tink was also on a date of her own.

He led her into the dining room, presenting her with the meal he had prepared: Lasagna. "I love lasagna!" she exclaimed, probably a bit louder than necessary. She clamped her lips shut a moment, biting her lip. Then she said, in a much quieter tone, "Thank you. This looks delicious." There was a shy smile on her face as she sat down in the chair Aladdin had pulled out for her. She had started to reach for the fork before realizing she should probably put napkin on her lap to avoid spilling on her dress. She reached for that instead, but felt Aladdin's eyes on her. When she looked up, her lips parted in a silent and startled o at the intensity of his gaze, an intensity that she hadn't wasn't there before, and her heart began to race.

It was made to beat even faster as he brought up what had happened earlier that day: The kiss. She bit her lip, but nodded. She thought of something else to day, but knew that Aladdin needed to speak so she kept quiet. Besides, she couldn't think of much to say that wasn't any better than when she had asked, "why?"

Peter was just finishing the closing of the arcade for the evening when he got a text from Trixie to grab some food and she would grab the drinks. He smiled for a moment before a slight panic began to set in. What would he be bringing of food? A cooked meal was out the question since he had just come off work which also meant no microwavables since they were meeting at the pavilion. Why had he even suggested it in the first place? He shook his head sharply and went to his headspace he used to keep fear at bay as he battled hook. He locked up the arcade and set out for the store.

After texting Trixie a quick: "Deal", He wandered around before he finally decided on some fruits that could easily be eaten and some premade pb&j. It wasn't the classiest of meals, but it was the best he could do with the time he had. He just hoped that she wouldn't be too disappointed in him. Seems I'm a disappointment to a lot of people in my life... he thought bitterly.

He arrived at the pavilion not too long after Trixie had, but he had managed to pick up a rather large towel at the store that they could sit on. He walked up to her and noticed a brown bag in her arms--probably what was holding the drinks-- and bowed with a flourish. "Milady. I hope you didn't wait too long." he greeted with a sheepish smile. The flipped the blanket out and laid it down. He motioned for her to sit and did the same beside her. He pulled out his fruit--apples and grapes--and their sandwiches and said, "Sorry they're nothing special. I realized too late that I probably should've had some plan for food when I suggested this place. We couldn't get hot food and I didn't have time to cook anything.. Please don't be disappointed.." Then he noticed that she had brought wine as well as lemonade and raised an eyebrow. "Wine? Are we celebrating something?" His eyes grew wide with sudden terror. Oh Neversprites! Did I forget your birthday?"
