THE DATE MEME

Here's how it works!

1. Comment to this post with your character. List the character's name, series, and any preferences you might have in the subject.
2. Using the RNG, pick from one of each of the two categories below. (Or if you'd rather pick them yourself, feel free to do that instead!)
3. The two of you are now on a date! The first list is where you took your date. The second list is your current relationship.
4. Have fun!

Locations

1. Restaurant. What better way to spend some romantic time than over food? Maybe you're at the fancy restaurant in town, or maybe you just couldn't afford anything nice, so you're at the nearest diner. Or maybe somewhere in between?

2. Games. The two of you are playing a game somewhere! You could be at a bowling alley, an arcade, a miniature golf course...the possibilities here are countless.

3. The Park. Of course, Mother Nature can provide an excellent atmosphere for romantic bonding! Perhaps you're taking a leisurely stroll through the lush grounds, or maybe you've laid out a blanket somewhere so the two of you could have a picnic.

4. Movie Theater. Or maybe the two of you are sitting next to each other in a dark room, sharing a bucket of popcorn while you're watching the latest film. Did you opt for a horror flick to keep your significant other latched to your arm -- or for you to latch to theirs -- or perhaps something they enjoy, like a sappy romance film or a cheesy action flick? Or maybe you compromised and went to see a sweet romantic comedy.

5. Skating. It's always nice to go skating, right? Are you at a roller skating rink, or did you find a frozen lake and decide to go ice skating? Which one of you needs help (you know at least one of you does)?

6. Beach. Ahh, the beach! Go ahead and set up camp wherever you like! Or if you don't watn to lay down and catch a tan, you can go swimming, or take a walk along the shore! Or if you don't want getting sand on your feet or in your shoes, go hit up the boardwalk!

7. Sunday Drive. Sometimes you don't really have a destination in mind. Sometimes you just want to drive and enjoy the scenery. Well, here's your chance to do that!

8. Amusement Park. There's plenty to do here! Take your date on the Ferris wheel, or the tunnel of love...or something more thrilling, like a roller coaster! Walk around with cotton candy!

9. Dance/Ball. School dance? Prom? Business gala? Whatever it is, you're there, and you've got a date.

10. Wild Card. Your choice! Feel free to pick something that's not here.

Relationships

1. Blind Date. You had no idea who you were going out with until you arrived! Was it a complete stranger, or did it turn out to be someone you knew?

2. First Date. You finally worked up the courage to ask this person out, and they agreed! How awkward is this going to end up?

3. Steady. You guys have been going out for a while. This is just another one of many dates.

4. Proposing. This isn't just any date for you. You've brought your significant other out somewhere to propose to them! Make sure to warm them up for the main event!

5. Married. You're not just dating, you're a married couple! Whether this is a special occasion or you just decided to break from your everyday life, the two of you are using this as an opportunity to remind each other just how much you love one another.

6. Wild Card. Your choice! Feel free to pick something that's not here.

That's very kind of you t'say!

[Abby, on the other hand, is instantly tinged with an evident red glow.]

[That just makes Santana laugh even more.]

Very cute. [She winks and brings her cup to her lips again to hide her smirk.]

Thank ye.

[Abby's almost done with her iced tea. It's an inherent thing with her, liquid intake. Even if it's not alcoholic.]

I'm curious, though-you look like you could get anyone. Why're you goin' off on blind dates?

[Santana bit the inside of her cheek.]

It, uhh..was my best friends idea, actually.

[Her best friend who just happened to be her ex. Things just...didn't work out, but they're still close. They worked through it, and Brittany just wants her to be happy.]

A blind date seems safer than going around asking girls if they're into this, especially in this town.

[Abby knows when she's hit a nerve. She smiles brighter, nodding.]

I know-I have trouble with it even in New York, what more in a small place like this.

...No offense.

None taken [Santana shrugs. She knows it'll be easier to be herself in New York, but it'll still be hard.]

What about you. Why a blind date?

[Abby pauses, as if trying to find the right words. Finally:]

...It's boring out here? And I've only ever been hit on by guys I'd rather kick in their junk than stay in the same room with.

[Guys she'd want to kick in the junk...] Was there a guy with a mohawk?

[Still, that makes Santana grin and all she can do is nod in agreement]

I think they were hockey players. Mohawk? Maybe. I didn't really pay that much attention.

Doesn't matter. [Santana just shakes her head. She is a little disappointed she won't be able to brag to Puckerman that she went on a date with someone who rejected him...again, but whatever. Not important.]

Hockey players are morons. It's best just to ignore them.

I've noticed. Sometimes I dream of finding them and shooting them in the head. Or punching their guts out, whichever.

...No, I'm not actually violent.

Right... [Santana quirks an eyebrow]

I just tell them i've got razorblades in my hair. Usually sends them running.

Ooh, that's a brilliant idea! Why didn't I think of that?

[It's one of those ideas you get but don't think it'll work until you try it.]

Try it next time. It'll either work, or distract them long enough for you to escape.

[Abby grins.]

Beautiful and smart.

[Santana suppresses a grin, and shrugs her shoulders nonchalantly.]

I try.

You don't have to, you're bloody amazing as it is.

[It's a miracle. Or a fear of Abby. Either way, the waitress has reappeared with their food.]

[Santana giggled (oh god, she's giggling. She hasn't done that since she was twelve) but quickly caught herself and glared when the waitress gave her a weird look]

[Unfortunately for the waitress, Abby caught the look.]

Hey--[she glances at the nameplate and grimaces]--Elizabeth, right? Can I give you a tip?

[Abby matter-of-factly gets a hundred-dollar-bill from her purse and waves it in her face.]

If you want to be tipped properly, make sure you earn it by not being rude to customers.

[Santana almost chokes on a piece of pasta as she tries not to laugh. The waitress's face...the fact Abby is carrying around that much money in the first place...it's hilarious and Santana has a feeling she won't be able to visit Breadstix for a while after this.

Well, at least a day.]

That [she whispers loud enough for only Abby to hear her when the waitress stalks off] was brilliant.

[Abby rolls her eyes as the waitress walks away, not even bothering to pick up the money that was now pinned nonchalantly under her used butter knife. She grinned at Santana.]

I would've smacked her with a wad but I quite enjoy the food, and I didn't want to create awkward situations for you in the future.

[She ate a bit more before speaking again.]

So you've lived in Lima all your life?

It's been awkward around here before, no big deal. [The time she brought in a wheelbarrow for the free breadsticks. The times she and Brittany were caught in the bathroom. The time she was drunk, barged into the kitchen, and cried about how awesome their food is....the list goes on.]

Yup. Can't wait to get out of here.

[Abby nodded.]

I can see why. I know we've just met, but I'd love to take you around New York! I know you've been, but I can show you more than just the tourist sights.

That sounds great. [If she wanted to see the tourist sights, she'd ask Rachel to show her around]

[Abby was in a rather happy mood. This was going very, very well.]

How about here? Is there anything to do in Lima besides go to the mall?
