{2nd Card}
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.]

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?]
no subject
[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]
no subject
[Though. Yeah. Probably, she should have checked with him before asking say, not just Fai in person or something but. Well. This.]
no subject
... 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......]
no subject
[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.]
no subject
HOW CAN SHE SAY THIS SO CASUALLY
HE'D SELF-COMBUST IF HE EVEN ATTEMPTED IT]
They
They do.
I
[And he really has to gather up the confidence to send up this next bit, because they DO like one another!! And they're together now!! So he shouldn't be shy about this!! But old habits don't die quite so easily, so it makes things difficult]
I'd love to go somewhere with you, if you don't mind spending that time with just me. [Well, DUH, of course not, why else would be going through all this effort--] I'd be fine with whatever you wind up deciding on.
no subject
[She doesn't even notice the flustered state she has him in, not over the phone like this at least. But she does seem excited by him agreeing all the same.]
no subject
That could be good. A lot of the stuff people have suggested sounded interesting so far, so putting it all in one spot and narrowing down what we really want to do will make things easier.
[Granted, he'd probably just go with whatever Sakura was most interested in, since it was her idea and all. He was fine with just about anything if it meant getting to spend the day with her and seeing her be happy.]
no subject
[She agrees, giving a nod even if they were texting each other. This was going to be fun! And with this list, they had a whole lot of ideas to try out!]
no subject
[So they wouldn't have to cut their date short to worry about homework, or having to wake up early the next morning. Not that they were going to be staying out even REMOTELY late, but...]
Ah... you don't need to worry about the cost, though. I'll cover whatever it comes up to, so we don't need to focus on that so much.
[Because that's the gentlemanly thing to do, after all!! Not to mention he filthy rich and has a good sized allowance, so this wouldn't exactly hurt his wallet.]
no subject
But are you sure? I can help pay for it too.
[This sort of thing is what her work covers in her doing something fun? Especially now she wasn't stressing on contributing towards bills or food.]
no subject
[And his cheeks flush, as he types out the next response:]
I want to treat you. It's the least I can do.
[Since she's already going through all this effort thinking of a cute date for them and everything!!]
... that's a good point about the homework, though. It'd be a better idea to have that squared away so we don't have to worry about it when we're out. Though certain places aren't open on Sundays, so...
Is there anything anyone suggested yet that sounds really good to you?
no subject
But that's a good point. I guess it depends, if places are open which days. But that depends where we wanted to go. I liked the sound of the zoo or a picnic though? I'm making a list so we can go through that and see which we like most.
no subject
[He doesn't want her to waste her hard-earned work money on him, after all!! He'd rather she spend it on something she likes instead!]
But those sound like they could be nice. Maybe we can do both of those on the same day? We'd have to stop for lunch at some point, anyway.
What else do you have on the list so far?
no subject
Take some snacks to the zoo and eat there? If that's allowed. I think they do also have some food options there too?
But otherwise, there was the petting zoo or a movie mentioned.
no subject
[And he could maybe make some Japanese recipes he's been practicing for her to try? Or some more traditional Hong Kong treats, anyway.]
They wind up having petting zoos at normal zoos, so we might do that if we go there, but... were there any movies out that you wanted to see?
[Since depending on how new or old it was, they could do always do that first so they wouldn't have to miss it while it was in theaters.]
no subject
check beforehand. If there's space for having a picnic or we take extra money for lunch to get something there.
I can check what's showing at the cinemas and we can decide?
no subject
[In the rare instances he and Leon go to see a movie together or something, but it was just good to have in general--
After a couple of minutes of searching through the Flix showtimes, he responds back:]
There's that new super-hero movie out... Infinity Conquest? There's also an animated one about a mermaid girl who becomes friends with a musician. The rest of the stuff we can't really go to, though...
[And even the Avengers knock-off seemed risky since it was PG-13 and all
never mind they're both older than 13, but still]no subject
Infinity Conquest? Oh! Mermaids! That sounds cute! But I guess that's true. We do need to check the ratings to figure which we can see or not.
no subject
[Which is... kind of sad to admit, going to movies by himself and all, but he never really had much of a friend group to go with in the first place.
But Sakura's enthusiasm about the mermaids is promising, so he latches onto that.]
We could see that one, if you want? It has a lower rating compared to the super hero one. I think you have to have seen some of the other ones in that series to know what's going on, anyway.
[Not that he assumes Sakura hasn't, but he certainly missed out on a lot of them. The language rating on those things.....]
But we can always wait for another weekend to see something, too. I don't know if there were any coming out that you'd rather go to instead.
[...... Xiaolang are you asking her on a second date before you guys even had your first, goddamn]
no subject
It's alright. I mean, the mermaid one sounds like fun!
[She isn't even questioning this. On how he seems to automatically assume there's going to be more. More dates, more movies. Not that that seems in question at all given how excited and flustered they are right now on this, how they were in their memories together, but even so.]
no subject
[Before her, of course, HINT HINT.
But if Sakura doesn't catch onto him assuming there'd be more dates, he definitely does himself, and he blushes furiously as he makes that realization. Shoot. He was getting so into planning all of this with her, that he completely forgot that they had to actually... see how the first one would go before anything else. Not that he thinks he'd have a bad time (he'd be happy just picking up trash with her, really), but that didn't mean it'd be the same for her.
Never mind she's the one asking him on the date and putting all of this together]I guess it depends on whether you want to do the zoo or the movie more. Both of them sound good, and you're the one compiling ideas, so I don't mind going with what you like best. And whatever we don't pick, we can do a different time instead
if you
um
don't mind being in my company for something else, I mean.
no subject
How about we check what other films are coming out a little later and see which we want to go for? Then if it's one that isn't out yet, we can try the zoo now and go to the movie later!
[As if there were any question on her minding his company when she is trying to organize this. Xiaolang please.]
no subject
There is that other animated movie coming out... Spectaculars 2, I think? The one about the superhero family. I don't know if you saw the first one, but it comes out in June, so that could give us time to plan for that and do the zoo and other things in the meantime.
[... aaaaand he did it again]
If you wanted to do other stuff with me, that is.
no subject
I mean. Of course I want to do other things with you! That's why we're making a whole list of ideas!
