{2nd Card}

[keystaff]

I know there's a lot of us on the network, so this might get a lot of different ideas, but that's okay! We could make a list! But um. I was wondering, about where others might go, what you might do for a date with someone? Though I guess that might depend on the person, what they like doing, probably?

I haven't done this before, so. I'm trying to come up with some ideas. Of where to go together or what to do. So if anyone else has any ideas, that could help us decide! I mean, most of you are older, so you probably have more experience with this sort of thing, at least.

[Yes. That's right. Xiaolang finally confessed to her and she realized she returned his feelings, so. These two middle-schoolers are together now. It only took however many months at this point.]

Oh, congratulations on wanting to go out on a date!

[Mio... of course, is pretty sure she knows what's going on here.] For a date, I usually go to either a place I like, a place he likes, or sometimes we just go to a place that neither of us have ever been to. I mean, a date is honestly just having fun together, so as long as the two of you are happy, that's the important part here. ☆

Plus, you might learn something new about one another if you decide to go to a place that's new to the other person. Which is always important to a good and healthy dating relationship.

Thank you?

A place we like. Or one new to one or both of us. I'll have to ask him then! Where he has or hasn't been yet. What he hasn't done.

1/???

[La di daaaa, just scrolling through Retrospec while enjoying a snack, keeping up to date with things, and-- hey, Sakura made a post!

Hopefully it was nothing too dire--]

2/???

[cardcaptured]

['what you might do for a date with someone?']

3/????

[cardcaptured]

['a date with someone?']

4/????

[cardcaptured]

['... date....'

...

...

...]

5/???

[cardcaptured]

[????!!!???????????!!!

JFC HE'S NEARLY CHOKING

SAKURA WHY]

DONE??????

[cardcaptured]

[When he's finally managed to breathe (or at least clear his airways from the snack he nearly died on), he manages to type out a shakey reply:]

... um.

Did you mean this to be private, Sakura...?

[Because??? Now he's wondering if he was supposed to see this?????? Who else would this be about]

[keystaff]

[Oblivious to the potential choking to death situation once he clues in just what she is asking about and why. Sorry Xiaolang. She is trying though? Obviously.]

Eh? Why do you ask?

[Why would she hide this from him when it is obviously about him? She can't ask him on said ideas she gets for her list from this if she excludes him, right?]

[cardcaptured]

Well, I mean...

[His fingers fidget a little near his phone, gathering the nerve to type out the next response, his face probably making tomatoes envious in it's color.]

This is for a date, isn't it? A date for us?

[OBVIOUSLY SHE IS, but-- he figured the plan would be in plan before she had asked? Or at least he'd know about it beforehand before she asked the entirety of Retrospec about it]

NOT HERE

[cardcaptured]

[don't think he doesn't see this reply, Mio

and hasn't started counting down the minutes until he inevitably gets grilled over this

because HE KNOWS

HE KNOWS SHE KNOWS]

[keystaff]

For us! Yes! I mean, I wouldn't call it a date if it was just me going out with my friends. A date is special, right? So. That's why I thought I might ask for ideas.

[Though. Yeah. Probably, she should have checked with him before asking say, not just Fai in person or something but. Well. This.]

[cardcaptured]

['Special.......'

... it's probably a good thing this is going down via text instead of face to face, because GOD, he is dying right now. HE CAN'T HANDLE THIS. HE CAN'T HANDLE ANY OF THIS.]

That's true, but...

Um...

... are you... asking me out on a date?

[Because as cute as this is, YOU SKIPPED STEP ONE, SAKURA......]

also not here

[promisedyou]

[It's definitely an ominous feeling, isn't it? Because she's just going to let him sit with this without her messaging him immediately, so he can have fun with that for a while.]

You're welcome!

Although I'm sure he's the type of person that probably wouldn't care where you guys go as long as you're happy, you know. But I think it's a good start. ♥

If you have any other questions though, I can definitely try helping with those, too.

[cardcaptured]

[YOU'RE THE ACTUAL WORST, MIO??????]

[me_matey]

UM HEY WHAT? DID THAT BOY ACTUALLY DO IT?!

[digthefuzz]

yo yo yo!
a date? that's adorable!
the key's not to sweat it too much and look for something you'll both enjoy
like the arcade! bowling's always good. or catching a movie? a pg movie!
or, like, a walk in the park or a picnic could be super cute too!

Aren't you a little young to be dating?

[She's the age of his youngest sister, he won't take this!!!!]

[redarm]

you have a DATE???

[maskreant]

i didn't think little puppy could do it.

what about the petting zoo?

[mercurio]

the zoo is always a fun option

[keystaff]

Huh?

[keystaff]

That's what people who like each other do, right? Go on dates together?

[From what she has figured. Not that she is any more experienced in this than he is but still.

Although yes. It might have been a good idea to ensure they were on the same page with this first. Not that there was likely any real question about this eventually happening at some point given they both confessed.]

I can ask him first and we can go from there I guess.

What did you do? I mean, you probably go on dates with Leon-san, right? Where did you go? Or, I mean, unless that's too personal? I'm not used to asking about this sort of thing.
