[meanwhile, as time closes in to their dinner date, Peepers looked at himself in the mirror at the suit he was wearing, double chking for wrinkles before he intercoms Sylvia]
Peepers: Hey, zbornak. U ready for our dinner out?
Sylvia: Yep, be right out.
Peepers: Alright, cya [double chks again before he made his way to Sylvia's room n knocked]
Sylvia: (unlocks it and Peepers sees her in a strapless dress that went from red at the top all the way down to white at the bottom. Even her mane had been done up in a ponytail with a red flower decoration and also seemed to have red glitter in it)
Peepers: [stood there in awe for a moment, temporarily speechless] :O
Sylvia: (looks concerned) Is it too much?
Peepers: [finally found his brain] Uhh... Umm... Uhh... N-No, no, its not too much... I-I feel like I'M under-dressed... [blushed]
Sylvia: ^^;; Sorry, I just thought that... Here. (loosens her ponytail into her regular look and takes out the flower hairpiece) How's that?
Peepers: [thought abt it] Here [takes the flower hairpiece n puts it bk on her head, then smooths out her hair a bit, not tying it bk] There, much better. I like the hairpiece on u. It suits u
Sylvia: (flushes a little) Heh, thanks... So where're we eating?
Peepers: U'll see. Wouldnt want to spoil the surprise now, would we? [held out his elbow for her to hold]
Sylvia: :) Guess not. (wraps her arm around his)
[Peepers led her to the area he surveyed that morning n made a beeline to a rustic-looking restaurant that seems to be some kind of steakhouse]
Usher: Reservations, sir?
Peepers: For two, under the name Commander Peepers
Sylvia: (looks around the place) (thinks; Hm, interesting pick)
Usher: Ah, yes, Commander Peepers. Right this way, sir [led him to a private booth upstairs that was towards the window that had the view of the city]
Sylvia: (takes her seat)
Peepers: [takes his seat as well]
Usher: Wine or champagne, sir?
Peepers: Wat do u like, Sylvia?
Sylvia: I'll go with a wine. Red, if possible.
Peepers: U heard the lady, red wine, with two glasses
Usher: Good choice, sir. I will bring the menu in shortly [leaves to get the wine]
Peepers: So, how'd u like this plc? Not too over the top, I hope
Sylvia: No, this seems fine. Didn't expect you to be that type of person who likes meat. I mean you probably do, I've just...
Peepers: I don't blame u, u don't see me eat often. I like meat just like any other person. I was hoping YOU would be OK with it
Sylvia: Yeah, this is fine. (nod)
Peepers: So wat hv u been doing all day?
Sylvia: I mostly just browsed around on that planet, saw some pretty neat stuff.
Peepers: Oh? Got anything for urself?
Sylvia: Just a few things I was interested in.
Peepers: One of them wouldn't be the one ur wearing right now, would it?
Sylvia: ^^;; Well... (feels embarrased) It was recommended...
Peepers: Its OK. U look...nice. Well nicer than wen u were wearing that yellow garb wen u were pretending to be Hater's date on Planet Louvre (giggle)
Sylvia: |-( Very funny. But you didn't have to call me THAT, you know.
Peepers: Call u wat?
Sylvia: A broad...?
Peepers: Oh, that. Well its either that or embarrassing Lord Hater by calling u out. N I kinda enjoyed seeing u squirm at the time. I hv to admit, Wander was a little over the top with HIS getup wen he crashed the wedding
Sylvia: He was just doing what he was doing. (shrugs)
Peepers: Remember he called u two a 6 and a 4? Well, u were the 4 [snorts] Guess Hater preferred Wander more
Sylvia: ^^;; Uh huh...
Hater: I guess even with the disguise, he still couldn't mask his feelings for ur furball
Sylvia: Probably not. And you somehow knew of his feelings for Wander?
Peepers: Maybe I did, I just didn't want to acknowledge it. That's why it was such a shock to me, coz deep dwn inside I knew, I just didn't want it to be real
Sylvia: (touches his hand in comfort)
Peepers: Anyway, I've made my peace with both of them, so its time for me to move on to greener pastures, as the wise would say
Waiter: [comes ovr] Good evening, I'll be ur waiter for tonight. Here r ur menus [gives it to them, then pours them their wine] Would u like to hv a moment to decide ur meal?
Sylvia: (looks through menu) ...Yeah, could use a moment.
Waiter: I'll be just a call away [leaves them be]
Peepers: [looks thru the menu] Wat do u feel like having?
Sylvia: Hmm... Not sure...
Peepers: I've nvr been here before, tbh. Maybe play it safe n try their in-house special
Sylvia: Yeah, I guess I could do that.
Peepers: [hailed the waiter] Hi, I think we're ready to order. Two of ur in-house special, this one [pointed at the menu] The one with the four-course meal
Waiter: Of course, sir. Is there anything u would like us to customize, anything ur allergic to tht we can avoid cooking into ur food?
Peepers: No, I'm good. Wat abt u, Sylvia?
Sylvia: I'm good as well.
Waiter: [nodded, takes their menus n left to call in the order]
Peepers: [takes his wine glass n smelled the wine] Hmm, smells nice. I wonder if it tastes good
Sylvia: Only one way to find out. :)
Peepers: [swirled the wine a little before taking a sip] Mmm, nicely aged. Got a bit of oak n citrus taste to it
Sylvia: (sips) That is nice. (nod)
Peepers: So, other than the planets u seem to just so happen to be there whenevr Lord Hater n I r conquering, any other interesting planets u've visited so far?
Sylvia: Well there was this Planet, Janet, we ran into. ^^;; Seemed a little cray cray but we've found her a new friend so she wouldn't feel so lonely anymore.
Peepers: Wait, u mean a planet tht is actually alive? Tht u can talk to?
Sylvia: Yeah, and let's say at first she did NOT approve of me. >>
Peepers: [got the idea] Ah, I see. She's got the hots for Wander (giggle)
Sylvia: A little TOO much.
Peepers: Wouldn't blame her, since u said she was lonely. Wander must've accidentally worked his charms on her as usual
Sylvia: Yeah, possibly... (goes awkwardly silent)
Peepers: [noticed as he sipped his wine] Something on ur mind, Sylvia?
Sylvia: Oh nothing just... When HE and I were together, we'd... :(
Peepers: [tried his luck in prodding] You'd...?
Sylvia: Date... but he'd put most of the attention on himself rather then me...
Peepers: U knw I wouldn't do that. Dates work both ways. Both hv to enjoy it
Sylvia: ...Yeah. (nod)
Peepers: [blushed a bit] ....Would u LIKE this to be a date?
Sylvia: (blushes also) Well, only if you'd like that too.
Peepers: I guess... [takes a deep breath] I guess I'm game if u are
Sylvia: Then, yes. :)
Peepers: [smiled n tentatively held her hand, squeezing it gently, then raised his glass] Cheers for tonight
Sylvia: ^^ Cheers. (raises her glass and clinks it with Peepers')
