Fishes In The Sea-Chp8

[later after breakfast...]

Wander: So, I saw that lady give u her number. Ur gonna give her a call? Maybe arrange for a date?

Peepers: Kinda soon, dontcha think? Don't wanna come off as desperate

Sylvia: What Pipsqueak says here, Wander.

Wander: Bt she gave u her card, tht means she wants u to call, doesn't she? She said something to u before she gave u the card, something abt a trip?

Peepers: How did u hear tht? :^)

Wander: I didn't. I sorta lip-read her a little ^^;;

Hater: (facepalm) Course you would. And anyways, I might wait a little first. Or maybe she'll call me instead. :$

Sylvia: |-( Oh please, girls don't arrange the dates. (turns to Wander after pausing a beat) Do they?

Wander: [shrugged] It doesn't reli matter. Its the equality age now. Girl, guy, whichever makes them comfortable. If Hatey is cool with the girl making the date, its fine

Peepers: Doesn't hurt making the first move, maybe just call to ask how she's doing or wat they think abt the speed-dating event n stuff, just to get the ball rolling

Hater: (nod) Right.

Wander: Well wat r u waiting for? Give her a call then :D

Hater: :$ (gets up and leaves to make his call in private)

[it took a few rings, bt soon someone answered]

Dominator: Yo, whodis?

Hater: Uh, hey, Dom? :)

Dominator: Huh, tht voice sounds familiar... Bones?

Hater: :D Yup, that's me.

Dominator: Sorry, u nvr gave me ur frequency, so I didn't recognize the coordinates. How's it hanging there, Bones?

Hater: I'm fine, good. Just um...wondering when would be the best time to do our date together? ^^;; Unless you already picked out a time, that's cool.

Dominator: Ah yes, the date. Depends on whether ur still on for tht thing with the spicy food challenge I wanted to participate in

Hater: I-I could see how I do with it at least. :)

Dominator: Great. I'm planning to go there the day aftr tomorrow. Ur welcome to tag along on my ship or tail me with ur ship. Its ur call ;)

Hater: Tag along, I can do that. (nod)

Dominator: Great. I'm also staying in this hotel, so hopefully we can meet up in the evening at the lobby the day aftr tomorrow, n then go frm there?

Hater: :) Sounds like a plan. :$

Dominator: Right, cya then, Bones ;) [hangs up]

Hater: :$ (heads back to the others)

Wander: [sees him returned] So? So? How'd it go? :D

Peepers: [was curious as well, bt was being cool abt it]

Hater: :) Got a date with her. (told them when)

Sylvia: (like) That a boy, Bonehead. (felt envy on the inside)

Peepers: Nice, so ur tagging along with her in her ship?

Wander: Ooh~ So daring (smirk)

Hater: :$ Yeah, I am.

Peepers: Don't do anything u shouldn't do on a first date tho

Wander: Not unless she allows it (giggle)

Hater: |-( Yeah yeah, I got it, C Peeps.

Wander: Isn't it amazing, Sylvia? Hatey finally got a gf :D

Sylvia: :) Yeah, so it seems. (inside; :^) )

Wander: Can't wait to see how the date turns out :D

Peepers: Geez calm dwn, ur not the one dating there

Wander: Still, I'm happy for my buddy :D

Hater: :) Heh, thanks.

Wander: We gotta get u a new robe to wear! U can't go seeing her like this! Let's go shopping!

Hater: (looked at his robe) Yeah, I guess. ^^;;

Peepers: Oh boy (facepalm)

Wander: :D Great! Let's go! [grabs Hater's hand n drags him out of the hotel]

Hater: :O Whoa.

Sylvia: :^) Hmph...

Peepers: [noticed] Well, someone seems to not approve their furball friend being buddy-buddy with my boss

Sylvia: Huh? (shake) No, not that.

Peepers: Reli now? Seems like it is :^)

Sylvia: |-( That's not it at all.

Peepers: Then wat is it? :^) Ur not actually having a crush on my boss now, are u?

Sylvia: DX Ew, no!

Peepers: Well, u better not, I may approve of him finding the right girl, but I still don't approve u as a friend, let alone a lover

Sylvia: |-( Uh huh sure. (her mind drifted back to Dominator) ... :$

Peepers: |-( [rolled his eyes n followed after Hater n Wander to see where they're going]
