"Uh, sure! Thanks Bassy, er… B." Dion accepted and jumped to his feet happily. He was kinda bored watching the odd movie and the equally-odd love-birds.

Bastet smiled at him and her tail swished happily.
"Great! I rode my bike, so I guess we'll have to meet up," she said as they made their way out of the theater. "Where would you like to go?"
YAY! Wait. Why am I so happy? It's just Dion…right?

(oki, den)
Athena stood up and looked at Hermes,"Did you like it?" She asked Hermes.

"I loved it." Hermes exclaimed as he grinned. "Did you like it too?"

"Of course I did," She said while smiling.

"Hmm… I've only been around to the bars and cafes and not a proper restaurant." He flashed a smile. "Surprise me. I'll meet you there–unless you want me to pick you up to make it a genuine date." He winked and tried to digest the butterflies in his stomach.

(xD was I the only one oblivious to my own character until I saw the opportunity??)

"You do you Bassy," Dion attempted. His hand shook a bit and he bit back a fit of nervous laughter.

(yeahhh)

"I know a nice place," Bastet replied, tail swishing in an uncharacteristically nervous manner. "How about you pick me up? I don't want my clothes to get messed up."

"Of course! At what time should I arrive? And where?" He shifted his weight to his other foot to lightly tap the ground awkwardly.

"Is the great Dion nervous?" Bastet purred, smirking as she jumped onto her bike. "Pick me up at seven, I'll text you my address."

Dion cleared his throat slightly and felt his face get slightly red, "Mkay great, I'll see you then." He waved at her farewell.

(ok. TIMESKIP to that evening)

Bastet was panicking.
Should I wear a skirt? Or a dress? What about makeup? How much? she thought, darting around her apartment frantically. Ugh, calm down, girl! It's D! He's seen you in sweats. Besides, it's not necessarily a date… is it? ARGH
Finally, after a bit more panicking, she picked out a simple black dress with gold sandals and natural makeup.

At 6:55, she checked herself in the mirror a final time, then headed down to the lobby of her apartment building to meet Dion.

Dion drove up to Bastet's apartment building, wearing a pressed suit with a blue and black tie and black slacks. He stood outside and leaned against the hood of his car. He cleared his throat nervously and adjusted his tie before walking into the building's lobby.

"He's here, miss," meowed Tua the lobby cat, licking his paw.
"Thanks, Tua," she meowed back.
Bastet got up from her perch on the arm of the chair and smoothed her dress before walking over.
"Hey, D," she said with a broad smile and a small wave.
Oh my Ra, he looks so handsome!

"Hey B" Dion smiled broadly and slicked his hair back and out of his face. I knew she was beautiful but… She's absolutely stunning. His breath hitched for a moment before steadying his breath quickly. "You look… breathtaking." He mentally slapped himself. "I mean, you always look great I just meant more so than usual…" He felt his face heat up.
