Dara walked down the street with an annoyed look on her face. It was bad enough the Zelo was the only thing standing between her and L.Joe's relationship, but did he really need to follow her everywhere she went? "Can't you only appear when I'm with L.Joe? That's the reason you're here isn't it?" she whispered to him so she wouldn't look like a crazy person who talks to herself. " I said I was going to be your shadow. Your shadow follows you everywhere right?" Dara reluctantly nodded yes. Zelo smiled and continued to follow behind her. "Can't you at least make this easier for me?" Zelo floated over her head and pouted curiously. "How?" he asked. "I don't know, maybe-" Dara stopped in front of an anime store window and an idea popped into her head. There were 'Pretty Cure' toy cellphones on display. "That's it!" Dara shouted. Zelo hovered to her side. "What's it?" "The solution to this problem! You see, in this anime, these two girls have magic powers and can transform by using their cellphones that have magic pets attached to them." She said, pointing to the toys in the window. "Their magic pets hide in the cellphones they use to tranform. I bet you can attach yourself to my phone in the form of a charm!" Zelo started into the window, and then back at Dara. "Do I really have to?" he asked with an aegyo pout. "Yes, you have to. It look alot more normal if someone saw me talking on my phone, and not to someone they can't see. Now hurry up and figure out how to transform yourself into a charm!" she said. Zelo sighed and nodded. "Ok noona. What kind of charm should I be? Tranformer? Gundam?" Dara shook her head. "I'm a girl. You have to be something cute!" Zelo thought for a moment. "Cute?" he thought out loud. Zelo closed his eyes and disappeared in a puff of smoke. When it cleared, Dara felt something plop into her hand. She looked to see what it was and nearly squealed. "Rilakkuma!" she said as she fawned over the newly transformed teddy bear-Zelo. "Cute right? Am I good or what?" he boasted. Dara quickly attached him to her phone and put it to her ear. "I admit it! You're good! Now I can talk to you the whole way without looking like a crazy person!" "Yup!" Zelo said happily. "By the way...where are we going that you had to get all dressed up for?" Dara stopped at the cross walk. She was wearing a pink sundress with sandals and had done her hair and make up. "Oh...no place special. Just the park." "What for?" Zelo asked as the light turned green. "L.Joe asked me on a date."

L.Joe sat on the park bench trying to calm himself down. He still couldn't believe Dara had agreed to meet him today. "What if I can't think of anything to say?" which didn't really matter, since Dara talked the most. L.Joe checked his clothes again. He had changed his outfit five times before stepping out of the house and he still wasn't sure if he looked okay. "Do I smell?" he wondered, lifting his arms to check. He didn't smell...but the armpits of his shirt were starting to become wet. "Shoot!" he said, quickly bringing his arms down and covering the wet stains. "What do I do? She'll be here any minute..." "L.Joe?" He hear a voice ask. L.Joe sighed and looked up. His mouth nearly dropped to the ground. It was Dara, but not the Dara he remembered. She was wearing girly clothing, her makeup was done, and her hair was full of curls. "I'm sorry! were you waiting long?" L.Joe stood up so fast he thought he almost jumped for joy. "N-no! I just got here a few minutes ago!" If a few minutes actually meant hours..."Did you get here okay? You didn't get lost right?" Dara playfully hit his arm with her clutch purse. "Of course not, I'm not that ditsy! How could I forget the way to our favorite place?" she asked with a bright smile. L.Joe smiled uncontrolably. "R-right. S-should we get going now?" he asked, offering Dara his arm. Dara hesitated but took his arm with a shy smile on her face. They walked along the sidewalk for what seemed like hours, talking about everything they could think of. "Oooh! Ice cream!" Dara said, pointing to an ice cream stand. L.Joe smiled at her. "Do you want some?" he asked. Dara nodded happily. "You bet! I scream for Ice Cream!" she said, making him laugh. They walked up to the stand and ordered. "One chocolate soft serve and one strawberry softserve please!" L.Joe said. "With lots of rainbow sprinkles and gummy bears on the strawberry please!" Dara said, but quickly looked down in embarrassment. "I-if that's okay" she asked shyly. L.Joe couldn't help but keep smiling around her. "Of course!" the salesperson put their ice cream in cups and gave them spoons and napkins. They continued walking as they ate, stopping everyonce in a while to feed the other a bite. They came up to a bridge when Dara tried to put some of her ice cream on L.Joe's nose as a joke and accidentaly slipped. "Aaah!" she said as the heel of her sandal moved under her. The bit of ice cream she tried to use for the prank landed on her dress as L.Joe caught her around the waist. "Are you okay?" .Joe said, looking down into Dara's eyes. Dara batted her eyelashes a few times before saying 'yes'. L.Joe lifted her to her feet and took out a napkin. "Here, you got some on you." Dara took the napkin and tried to wipe the ice cream off. "I just bought this too..." she mumbled. L.Joe took a sanitary wipe out of his pocket and wiped it on her dress until the stain was gone. Then he looked her in the eyes and smiled. "I thought so." he said Dara looked confused. "Huh?" L.Joe poked the outer corner of her eye. "Circle lenses. You're wearing them. I thought your eyes looked bigger and brighter than usual. What happened to your regular contacts?" he asked. "They're...in the mail." she said. L.Joe grabbed Dara's cheek and didn't let go. "Ow!" she whined. "You don't need to change just because I confessed and asked you out." he took a lock of her hair and loosened its curl. "I like your hair even when its messy, and your clothes even if they are workout suits." L.Joe looked into her eyes. "All of this makeup is nice...but you really don't need any of it. Your beautiful on your own." L.Joe slowly moved his face closer. Dara stood still. "And to be completely honest..." Dara closed her eyes and puckered. L.Joe stopped at her lips. He hesitated, and then pulled away and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. When Dara opened her eyes she saw L.Joe's flushed face. "You look much more beautiful with glasses."
