"Please tell me about dating,"
"You're asking me about dating?!" Teddy shocked in excitement.
MISSION 4: GO ON A DATE
"You're the one that I can rely, Teddy! I need to clear this event. I can't get the bad ending!" Ellie whispered to him seriously.
"But like… how did this 'Date' thing come to be?" he asked.
"Well, about that! While blushing red, the girl will ask 'Are you free next week?' Then your options are Yes or No…" he funny suggested it. He relates his idea from the novels he reads, which kind of weird.
"Eleanor! Forget about romantic fictions! Alexandria isn't some childhood friend who lives in your neighborhood and sees you every morning!" he wants to say not to liken what he reads to real life.
"Common sense for fiction girls is insanity for actual girls…"
*wham!*
Ellie turned around when he saw Rejean smiling and she sit in front of him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Hey. You were all over Riley the other day. Are you two close?" she asked, and Ellie suddenly bent his head sideways like a puppy. She imitated Ellie like she's being sarcastic. "Don't look at me like that!" she said.
"Rejean! Do you like to read romantic novels?" he asked excitedly while he smirks at her.
"I have no interest in it at all!" she furiously replied.
"Please teach me about dates!" except for Teddy, it's an opportunity that Rejean showed up to her. He wants to ask a girl about dates because he doesn't know what exactly is going to be like.
"Okay," she replied fast.
"Really?! I—"
"However!" she interrupts Ellie, and she stares closely to him. "You must become my wing-man so I can get Riley!" she suggests as she smiles pretty.
"Impossible," he shocked.
"You'd do that for me?" she said in a charming voice. She stares at him while she's holding his both hands as her excitement. Ellie didn't reply to her, so Rejean took that as a yes. "Alright!" she shouted adorably.
"That's the one thing that I can't do…" he seems that he's now associated into another trouble.
"Come on! Get your notebook ready!" Ellie grabbed his notebook and ballpen as he is ready to list his plans for their date. "That first thing would have to be… Ah! Cakes!"
"Cakes…" he classify it in his notebook.
"Have cakes in there…."
As he suffered his time drafting and listening to Rejean, he finally prepared his date with Alex next weekend. He kept it memorized all the places and the time that they'll spent in their date. Rejean gave him a tip that he should not let Alex become exhausted with their date, otherwise he will taste a kick from her.
THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND
It's 10:00 in the morning. Ellie was waiting at the park where he and Alex will going to meet. Many people are in the park on weekends, especially dates. He was nervous because he did not know if their date would be exactly as he planned. He doesn't know if Alex has tricks for him up in her sleeve.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Ellie startled that he thought it was Alex. He took his smartphone out of his pocket to contact Teddy if their plan works well.
"Are you at the meeting place yet?" he asked Teddy by texting him.
"The plan is perfect! Now we just have to wait for invasion!" Teddy replied as he winked on the other side of the park.
Ellie thumbs up to him as if he is happy because Teddy is there so he can ask for help in case the plan fails.
"Were you waiting?"
"Waaahhh!!!!" he startled as Alex appeared to him out of nowhere. He walked away suddenly and when he sees that she's beautiful today. She's wearing a cute blue blouse and pink skirt. She's wearing a pink lipstick and a small ribbon on her ponytail. She gently smiles at him while Ellie just keep staring at her.
"O-Oh… First, let's take a walk in the park. There're ducks in the pond, we can feed them if you want. Then we can go to a cake house after that. That should take us up to 12:00 hopefully." Alex frowned as she circling around him. "Then after that, we can change the mood a bit and see a movie or go to shopping…"
"What is that?" Alex said disappointedly when she's right behind him. Ellie turned around as he saw her frowning. "That's no fun!" she complains.
Ellie did not know why she did not like the plan he prepared for their date. "I want to go to your house, Ellie!" she happily suggests.
"HUH?!" Ellie suddenly panicked so grabbed his phone to contact Teddy. "This is an emergency! Our perfect plan is being thwarted! Please respond to me Teddy!" he texted while he's finding Teddy on the other side of the park.
His smartphone beeps as he received a message from Teddy, "I'll be praying for you…" he responded and he ran away fast.
"WAAAHHH!!!!"
"LET'S GO!!!" she shouted with happiness as she snatched his arm and drags Ellie on their way to his house.
"TEDDY!!! YOU TRAITOR!!!!" he yelled while he's being dragged by Alex.
After being dragged by Alex, they've reached Ellie's house. His family immobilized when they saw a beautiful tall girl in front of them. It surprised them that Ellie invited her to come to their house. She's smiling beautifully at them while they're still staring at her.
"That's a really well-built figure…" his mother mumbled.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Alexandria Madrigal!" she greeted them with a smile.
"It spoke!!!" Chelsea said as she can't believe it.
"It's a girl! Eleanor brought a girl home!!!" his father shouted in excitement.
Eleanor's family prepared a celebration for Ellie that he's brought a girl on their home. They are all happy except for Ellie that his plan for their date doesn't work. He is also nervous because of what his parents can say to Alex while in the middle of the celebration. For now, they are happy together in the middle of the party.
"Welcome Alexandria!!" Chelsea said happily as they greet her a warm welcome.
They clapped all together except for Ellie that he's still sulking.
"Please eat as much as you want! You're thin after all!" his mother said because of Alex's thin figure.
"Thank you for the food, Auntie!" she replied cheerfully, and she took a sandwich on the table.
"Mom! Alexandria might have a modeling job or something like that!" Chelsea said to her mother.
"That's true! She's a beauty!" her mother said, and they both looked at Alex.
"No, no! I'm just a normal high school girl!" she replied, and she felt embarrassed because of their compliments.
"You're not ordinary. Why are you going out with my brother?" Chelsea asked like she's putting her on the spot.
Alex suddenly felt down, as if she was reminding something. Her smile easily faded like a shooting star.
"I… have a nasty bug inside my head," she muttered. Ellie was astound from what he heard and he stares at her. "It causes a despair for me…" she said sadly, like she's talking about her misery. It surprised them too, as if they thought Alex is suffering from a disease.
"No way…"
"It was a joke!" she conveyed, and she laughs like nothing happened. His family laughed at her joke too.
The joke that Alex said annoys Ellie didn't make him laugh because she can't joke about that. That is the matter of life and death. "For crying out loud…." he muttered.
"A joke? It was a joke?" his mother said and the laugh again after that quiet moment.
"It was love at first sight!" Alex said with a smile.
"NGIEEKK!!! An incurable disease is easier to understand than that! How could you fall in love with a dork like him at first sight?" his mother commented like she insults Ellie. His mother laughing over and over and they said that it was a miracle.
"Ellie. You're really loved." Alex said to him but Ellie just ignoring everything.
"Eleanor! I'm so happy for you! I've… always been so worried about you!" his father said while he's crying for joy. It seems like they are insulting him. "Dad, we made a promise never to mention that," his mother said. Yup, they are insulting him.
"Ellie! I want to see your room!" she asked freely to Ellie. The entire family suddenly fell silent as they notice that Ellie's room has filled with weird stuff of his. They're all staring at Ellie.
"Yahoo!! If she sees your room, it's over!" Isabelle whispered in front of him. Ellie suddenly breaks silent as he feels all the uncertainties are coming to his gut.
"Today… Eleanor's room… doesn't exist!" said by his brave mother while she's glaring at her like a tiger. She doesn't want her dream for Ellie got a lovely girlfriend to get away.
"Today?" she said in a peculiar tone.
"Yesterday it was here though," his father said and they are all nodded in agreement
"Is that right? That's too bad. I'll come again!" she said as she accept defeat.
They're all continued to eat and enjoy the celebration. "C-Cheers!" They raised all their glasses, and they said cheers.
"I'm going to use the restroom really quick" she requested, and she stood up on her chair.
"Go ahead!"
While they were eating and no one was looking at her, Alex was about to carry out her plan. They thought she was going to the restroom, but her primary target was Ellie's room. She grins and Ellie suddenly sees her, knowing that she tricked them. Alex runs quick to the upstairs.
"MOM!!!!" Ellie shouted as they all noticed her that Alex's plan is being carried out.
"CODE RED!!!"
His cougar mother chased her, and she threw her favorite glass on her. She flexed her torso down as she evades the glass. Alex stands and smiles at them, knowing that they can't stop her. She completes her mission and gets inside Ellie's room while the entire family felt into regret.
"It was a short dream…" his younger sister sadly said.
"Please break up with her properly, okay?" his mother encourages him while his father pats his shoulders to comfort him. This will be over for Ellie as he realized that all of his weird stuff will reveal to Alex.
