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.

*This might normally be where someone would shoot that idea down as silly, or at least as wishful thinking, but Hikaru just grins a little.*

Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I'd hadn't thought about it. The stories she's told me make it sound so amazing . . .

[shallwedoit]

That'll probably have to wait until we're a little bit older, though. [The thought that her and Hikaru might have broken up by then never even enters Megumi's mind. They're them, after all. Them dating might be a relatively recent thing, but she can't imagine spending her life with anyone else.

So, sure! London.]

Uh, how's your English, by the way? Mine's kinda... [Yeah.]

[ropeagrope]

*Hikaru's on the exact same page here. With the wonderful certainty that being a teenager brings, she just knows they'll still be together when the time to be thinking about things like that comes around!*

Haha, yeah. But it's fun to think about, right? And, well, my English grades are awesome, but I kinda wonder if I'd be able to hold up a conversation . . .

[shallwedoit]

[Of course! They'll be together 8ever. That's twice as much as 4.]

You could practice with Ogachin, maybe? Actually talking in English, and stuff. [And she could... work on getting above 'barely passing.' Oh hey... they're slowly approaching the top. She leans over to kiss Hikaru on the cheek, making a point of not looking at the other cars.]

Moving there aside... it'd be nice to visit London, wouldn't it?

[ropeagrope]

*Possibly even 12ever!!*

*Grins* You could do that too, you know. I'm not going to be your full-time translator. *STEALING A QUICK KISS ON THE LIPS, FUCK THE POLICE*

. . . That's be good, yeah. We could see how much we like it that way.

[shallwedoit]

[Oh hey! That was nice. That other car is pretty much completely forgotten by now.]

Well... haha, I don't even have good grades in English. [And she makes a little pouty face, like 'why WON'T you be my translator?]

Mm. Even if we don't like London... there has to be other places where we could be open about it, right?

[ropeagrope]

You could practice with Ogawa-sensei too, you know. *sorry honey you'll have to learn way or another!!*

Yeah! It's even legal for two men or two women to get married in some places in America and Europe.

[shallwedoit]

[Poooout- oh wait there's something more important to focus on.]

Hey, when you say it like that, it's almost like you're planning something... c'mon, we should at least wait until we've graduated.[She's teasing, of course, but the thought of actually getting married to Hikaru... yeah okay she's blushing. A lot.]

[ropeagrope]

I-I just meant it as an example of openness, okay . . . ! *But yeah, she's blushing a lot too, kyaa ////*

[shallwedoit]

[Kyaaa.]

Isn't denying it so quickly kinda suspicious? [Seriously, though. They haven't moved much from where they were when they were kissing, so it's pretty easy for her to lean over and rest her head on Hikaru's shoulder.]

Really suspicious.

[ropeagrope]

Isn't jumping to the conclusion that that's what I meant even more suspicious? *Leans her head against Megumi's*

[shallwedoit]

I guess we're both suspicious, then... [Oh hey, she can reach out to run her hand through Hikaru's hair.]

But for what it's worth, I think it'd work better if you whisked me away.

[ropeagrope]

*♥*

You're picturing me in a tux, aren't you.

[shallwedoit]

Yes.

[And her eyes are full of stars. Stars.]

It's not like I'd look good in one! You can't blame me.

[ropeagrope]

I dunno if I could pull that kind of look off as well as I used to, but . . . haha, I just pictured carrying you over the threshold in a wedding dress . . . it was a pretty nice mental image.

[shallwedoit]

[Oh, now she's thinking about it too...]

... Yeah, it was. [She strokes Hikaru's hair some more.] And I think you'd have to chop some of this off if you wanted to look like you did back then. [... But it's kind of nice the way it is now. She just sorta keeps stroking it.] You'd have to... cut this...

Uhm, maybe I can wear the tux after all.

[ropeagrope]

*A-Ah that's nice. Yeah there'd be less for Megumi to pet if she cut it, and right now Hikaru can't help but think that'd be a true tragedy.*

Or we could both do dresses. Though I don't think I'd mind seeing you in a tux either.

. . . Hahaha, why are we thinking about this . . .

[shallwedoit]

[Not to mention Megumi thinks Hikaru has really, really pretty hair.]

Both do dresses... you know, I never thought of that. [It's like... well they're obviously both girls! But maybe she's still kinda stuck in that 'one of us has to be the guy right' frame of mind.]

Well, it's fun, right? I mean... there's no harm in thinking about it, and... [And it's nice to know that they can do it. It isn't some far-off dream or anything, they could just move somewhere and get married. It's completely inside the realm of possibility.]

[ropeagrope]

Haha, I know what you mean. It's like . . . kinda expected, right? But I don't see why we've gotta stick to that.

. . . And it could happen someday, so . . . *Yeah, she's on the same page there: the fact that it's a possibility at all is an amazing thought.*

[shallwedoit]

Yeah... we could even both do tuxes, if we wanted to! It'd be our wedding, right... [She trails off, glancing out of the ferris wheel's window. It's a nice view, and it only now occurs to her that they've reached the top.]

I guess we got kinda distracted, huh? [She leans in closer, kissing Hikaru on the cheek. Again.]

I wish I had something romantic to say, now that we're up here. [But with all that talk of marriage, she thinks Hikaru gets the idea... and they're already starting to move back down. Geez, they pretty much missed out on the view, didn't they?]

[ropeagrope]

Haha, we really did . . . oops.

Well, I can't think of anything either, so how about this? *GOING FOR ANOTHER KISS. Because fuck it, making the most of this ride while it lasts!!*

[shallwedoit]

[Oh, hey, kisses! Megumi likes kisses. She pulls away for a second then kisses back, tangling her hand in Hikaru's hair.

They're... kind of getting close to the ground, and more importantly the line, but Megumi has literally forgotten how to care.

... At least until she thinks she sees a couple of people pointing, out of the corner of her eye, and then she breaks the kiss off. Okay she might have gotten carried away there.]

... Yeah, I'd say that worked. [At least she didn't notice thumbs-up guy.]

[ropeagrope]

*Yeah it's a good thing she notices, because Hikaru might not have at that point, oops! She's about to go in for another when she realizes why Megumi pulled back.*

Next time, okay, next time we'll pay attention to the view.

Maybe.

[shallwedoit]

You could at least sound more confident about it!

[Geez...] Well, it doesn't really matter... you're more than enough of a view. [There's a long pause on Megumi's end.]

I just wound up saying something really cheesy, didn't I?

[ropeagrope]

Cheesy but flattering! ♥ I was super distracted by you, too.
