6teen Fan Fiction ❯ 7teen: Unhappy Valintines Day ❯ Someone's got a date with Cupid ( Chapter 6 )

CHAPTER SIX

 

February 14th. “HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!”

 

The day had finally arrived, and strangely not too much was happening. If anything the mall looked as plain as ever. No dating couples, not as many gifts being held out; but the reason for all this was obvious…

 

In the first place: A lot of the couples already went on their dates yesterday. Then there was also more couples who were already on dates, but not all of them at the mall; and finally, almost everyone who was left had decided to have their dates during the night where it promised to be warm, clear, and romantic.

 

The evening came a lot sooner than we thought. Most of the gang and I were all sitting at the lemon and waiting for our dates. Some of us even dressed formally for the occasion.

 

Jen wad on her red dress that she wore to the winter-prom. Half her hair was pulled up in back and had two curly streams drifting playfully over her shoulder.

 

I was wearing the tux I wore to my brother's wedding, and I still had my shades on.

 

Wyatt was dressed in his nice suit, and holding the rose for Serena close. Heck, it was true Serena didn't like it all THAT mushy, but she decided to go with the flow tonight.

 

Jonesy and Jude were in their regular clothes. After all, Jude and Starr were planning to have loads of fun, Rockin'-Rollin' style, while Jonesy and Nikki decided to just hang around at the mall and then head back to Jonesy's place.

 

We were reading copies of the Stingray episode I had completed, and just got back from my publisher while we waited for our dates.

 

At the end of the story, Marina forgave Troy, and Troy went out with Atlanta whereas Jude's character, Phones, had to pay for the bill. “Three-Hundred Dollars?! Du-u-ude.”

 

Jonesy however was growing a little impatient for the fact that I gave the guys each a third of the money I made from the comics for using them as characters. “When is the coin going to start cashing in already?” he asked.

 

I sighed. “Jonesy, for the fifth time-- we have to wait until my publish calls and tell me how much I've made depending on how much they sell around the world. It'll take at least a month.”

 

“Hey you guys.” said a familiar voice. We all turned and there was Caitlin looking pretty gorgeous.

 

She bought a new gown that looked even prettier than Jen's. It was sparkling-white and had a full flowing skirt that clung round her waist perfectly, and matched the long white gloves she had on. She even got a perm for her long lemon-yellow hair and it was now more shinier and more flowing than ever. She also had on a pair a beautiful diamond earrings she had bought, and the soft touches of makeup on her face…

 

…Jude couldn't help but howl like a wolf.

 

“Caitlin, you look amazing.” Jen cooed.

 

Caitlin giggled. “I spent all day fixing myself up, and I spent loads of my money.” she said. “Daniel is going just die when he sees me.”

 

“Really?” Nikki said as she came to the table. “Then I guess we'll be too busy to come to the funeral.”

 

“Heh, good one.” Jonesy smirked. “We're outta' here.” Then they walked off.

 

No sooner had they gone did Wyatt's cell-phone ring with a text from Serena. “She's here.” he said. “I'm gone.” and he left.

 

Starr came whizzing by on her roller-blades. “Hey, Jude.” she called. “Hey.” her boyfriend called back. “Later chick-friends.” and he went off with Starr on his skateboard.

 

That left only me, Caitlin and Jen left. The girls noticed that I still seemed a bit nervous. “You okay, Mykan?” Jen asked.

 

I nodded. “Y-yeah…” I said. “I feel okay… I just hope I look okay.”

 

“Well… I think you look just fine.” came the sound a beautiful voice. I slowly looked behind me. “Amelie.”

 

Whatever it was she looked like, I couldn't use words to describe it. She was wearing a beautiful, silky ocean-blue gown. It had a full skirt that wasn't too tight, or so loose and flowing. was long-sleeved. It had long sleeves that ran off the shoulder and cuffed at her wrists like a glove.

 

She wore a small lily in her long, voluminous, dark-blue hair. Her lip-gloss made her lips shine in the lights, her eye lashes we're nice and long. Her new perfume made her smell of French Vanilla… and to finish it up; she had a long, sparkly tulle scarf that ran from one of her arms, across her neck, and down the other arm.

 

“Wow.” I peeped ever so softly as I eyed her from head to toe. “Holy-Cow.”

 

Amelie giggled.

 

“Well, what are you doing?” Jen asked. “You just going to stare at her all night.”

 

I snapped out of my trance. “Huh? Oh, oh… yeah, yeah… right.” I said nervously. “Uh, you ready to go?” I asked her. My girlfriend nodded, and then we walked off with our arms looped around one another's.

 

Jen and Caitlin couldn't help but aww at how sweet we looked, and no sooner had we gone out of sight, when Jen had to leave for her date and leave Caitlin to meet up with Daniel.

 

Her cell-phone received a text message telling her “Outside in the alley. Come alone: Daniel.”

 

The alley? Why would Daniel want her to meet him there? Nevertheless, Caitlin walked out of the mall and into he alley.

 

It sure was dark in the alley, especially at night. At least it was clean, unlike most alleys that were dusty, and filled with trash and rats. Finally, there was Daniel.

 

“Daniel, Hi!” she called over to him. She dashed over but then she realized what he was wearing; A short-sleeved white shirt with a small white-robe wrapped around his legs.

 

“Glad you could make it, Caitlin.” he said kindly to her. “You look gorgeous tonight.”

 

Caitlin suddenly turned away and blushed. “So, uh… where are going tonight?” she asked.

 

Daniel reached his hand out to her. “Come, and take my hand.” he told her. Caitlin walked up to him and took hold of his hand. “Now don't be frightened.” he replied. “Here we go.”

 

“Go? Go where, how?” Caitlin asked; but suddenly she felts something soft and fluffy forming below her feet; It was a cloud?! It grew bigger, and bigger, and then it began to lift up into the sky taking her and Daniel with it.

 

“Whoa!” she squealed as she held onto to Daniel tighter. “Soon they were soaring high up over the city, and that's where things began to get more wild.

 

Caitlin saw Daniel hold out a bow, and a quiver of arrows with heart-shaped points. One by one he fired them amongst the people of the town, and even blew some special dust which made people begin to find love, fall in love, and lift the spirit of Valentine's day.

 

Caitlin didn't know if this was real, or just some dream. “Okay, I've seen enough!” she snapped. “Who are you?”

 

Daniel turned to her an smiled. “You should know the answer to that by now.” he said to her. “I am Daniel Cupid. The Angel of spreading love, and the spirit of Valentines day.”

 

Cupid?! Caitlin couldn't believe it. “I'm on a date with Cupid?!” she asked herself softly. Then she jumped up for joy and squealed. “EEE… I'M ON A DATE WITH CUPID!!”

 

She could be heard for miles as the cloud carried her and Daniel off further into the night.
