A Date to Remember

[linefacingforever]

Who: Yu Narukami, Yukiko Amagi, and their stalkers (add in your character's tag as you post).
Where: Starting in Libra at the apartment building, coming to Scorpio and the theaters there.
Summary: Yu finally bit the bullet and asked Yukiko out on a date. Naturally, everyone needs to watch and marvel at the end results of the Amagi Challenge finally being beaten.
Warnings: Excessive silliness, flailing, and a popcorn.gif goddess.

Right now, Yu felt like the world could end, and he'd still be pretty damn happy.

He held the door out of the Libra apartment building open for Yukiko to exit first, sure to be the perfect gentlemen during their first date. He had wanted to ask her out for awhile on their world, but school work and TV work had made that near impossible. He almost got the chance during the summer, but ended up taking up a million jobs instead to help out Nanako -- not that he regretted a single moment, no matter how difficult it had been.

But here in Hinoto-Ri, there was plenty of opportunities for that date to finally happen, even with all the work he was doing to save up for a bigger apartment for him and Nanako. It had taken every bit of courage he could pull up, but he finally got the chance to ask during the Halloween party. And it was so damn worth it.

Not that he'd ever come out and say it like that.

Yu waited for Yukiko to exit before following after her. He kept his hand near hers, a subtle offer for her to take it if she wanted as they walked to the tram line that would take them to Scorpio district.

Was that...metal she heard on the ground?

Maybe it was just someone going on their business. There could be no way someone was following them at all.

[linefacingforever]

Yu was... trying not to look back himself, mostly because he knew that if he did, he'd probably have a fanboy moment, and that was not something he wanted to explain before his date even started. Nope, nope; there were no metal feet following them around. La la la la...

[risingshepard]

Nope, Yu totally didn't just hear those footsteps, not at all...

...Oh, who are we kidding? Shepard's still trailing them, and that isn't going to change anytime soon.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

No one made the metal sound angry before did they? So why was it sounding almost like their footsteps?

That...was getting a little freaky. Yukiko didn't want to announce it out loud because what if they just minding their own business and not doing what she thinks they could be? Instead, she moves closer to Yu, slightly looking from side to side. Now there was nerves going on.

[linefacingforever]

Okay, yeah, this wasn't going to be good. He wasn't going to subject Yukiko to his fanboy side on a first date. Not only did he not want her to see that ever yet, but he didn't want to run the risk of her getting the wrong idea. He tightening his hold on her hand, quickening his pace.

[risingshepard]

Geez, it's almost as if he were afraid of looking back all of a sudden. Now she's really suspicious about what's going on here. Not that he seemed the type to do anything shady, but...this just sets off a number of alarms in her head.

So the metal footsteps just stop...but a voice comes from behind them in their stead.

"Alright, I can't keep quiet anymore--what are you up to?"

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Wait, what?

Yu, did you do something to anger the nice lady? Because Yukiko has no idea who she is; just someone wearing metal.

"I'm sorry but have we met somewhere before?"

[linefacingforever]

Yu let out a defeated sigh, finally pausing when Yukiko did. He turned to face Shepard, making a point to look at her face, and not all the cool armor and weaponry she was sporting.

"We're going to see a movie together," he explained, maybe putting a little extra emphasis on the "together".

[risingshepard]

...Well, fancy that. Her initial suspicions were right, and not the ones she had thanks to Yu's reluctance to look back.

It's tempting to play the terrible aunt, all of a sudden. Shepard approaches and circles the two, keeping a particular eye on Yukiko. Yu can probably notice that slight, amused smirk forming on her expression...

"Just the two of you? You're not bringing any other friends along?"

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Why was this lady looking at her like that? It's making her feel pretty uncomfortable.

"No one else but us two."

Wait, please don't say that someone else is following them.

[linefacingforever]

Yu let out a sigh; he had a feeling when he heard something on the steps before, but...

"...we're being followed, aren't we?"

[risingshepard]

"You were. At least, as far as I know."

She snerked a little. Considering that she was trailing them just now, it's something of a half-truth.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Half-truth?

"I don't see why someone is following us."

Besides someone with an active imagination? And here she was hoping for a nice evening out and crazy free.

[linefacingforever]

"I can guess."

Yes, that was said in a total and complete deadpan. All he needed was for Rise to be following him around, dragging who knew how many people along with her. This was not going to end well.

"Shepard-san... is there any chance you can keep them off of us."

[risingshepard]

Well, let's be frank here--she wasn't really aware of the whole stalker thing considering where she was in the first place...and besides, it was them that caught her attention first, not the stalkers. Plus, she was talking about herself.

So yeah, talk about confusion...

So it just gets her tilting her head, a pinch befuddled.

"Wait, wha? Keep who off your back, exactly?"

[gigglesnortpriestess]

"Wait, you think there's more?"

And today was going so well...

[linefacingforever]

Yu took his attention off Shepard and that awesome armor for a moment, giving Yukiko a very serious look.

"...Rise just arrived."

...explained everything, really.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

Of course.

"I understand now."

Strange that with just a few short words that someone can pick up all that is needed.

[risingshepard]

"I could use an explanation, you know."

Uh, guys, not a good idea to ignore the snarky soldier that's already crossing her arms...

[linefacingforever]

Yu at least had the grace to look apologetic for asking something of her... and promptly ignoring her. Oops.

"A friend of ours from our world could be following us," he explained. She wouldn't... intentionally ruin our date, but..."

But the people that she drags along in her wake to STARE at them? Not to mention how... energetic Rise could get...

[gigglesnortpriestess]

"Wait, you don't think she could bring others along do you?"

Oh gods no. Going red right now thank you.

[risingshepard]

Oh. Oh. She gets it now.

"So basically, you want me to be a bouncer for your date, so your friend won't try to bug you in the middle of it. Is that what you're saying?"

...She just brought up what they were up to. INCOMING MENTAL KEYSMASH???

[linefacingforever]

Yu nodded, agreeing with the both of them. He reached down, giving Yukiko's hand a squeeze.

"Sorry to ask this of you when we hardly know each other," he said to Shepard. "But we could use the help right now."

[gigglesnortpriestess]

"Any kind would be very much appreciated." the other teenager replied with a softer tone. Seriously Shepard, Yukiko will owe you big next time for doing this.
