“Well not every night. I hope to take ets place a few times.” he said with a smile as they walked along through the rest of the games.
They played many; darts, pop the balloons, fish up with magnets to win prizes, and Jack even attempted that ‘try your strength’ thing by swinging a mallet to make a bell ring but of course he didn’t do very well. Still, he tried. And of course they snacked. Oh how they snacked. They ate all kinds of bad things; hot dogs, curly hot chips, donuts, all the things his young self hadn’t had because of his braces.
Soon they’re sitting on some grass whilst in the background a small band plays some music to entertain the people resting, taking a break.
“This ‘as been a wonderful day Katelynn.” Jack says, smiling at her brightly. “A good first date, eh?”
Snuggling her panda plush, she looked over at him and smiled brightly, happiness coursing through her as she enjoyed the music and his presence. “Yeah! It was worth it..waiting as long as we did. Today was so much fun and I hope we can do more things like this.”
Putting the panda aside she stood up carefully and held her arms out. “D-Dance with me too? Another first right?”
Jack blinks in surprise at the offer. Dance? In public? He can’t dance well. But she’s asking, and they are trying to be spontaneous and not like themselves, right? He smiles and takes her hands and stands up, pulling her to him, keeping her hands in his.
“L-love to.” he said, blushing beneath the disguise, as he began to move to the music as best he can, dancing with her in public. And not many people even glance at them and there’s such a joy in that simple fact…
