Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aitana had signed up for this whole valentines thing after prompting from her foster family. Had they known that she was going on a blind date with a girl they might have changed their mind and taken back their money. Or maybe not. The brazilian had never been particularly open with her interest in males and females, not that she was the sort that was actively seeking out a mate. She had more important things to do!!

But that didn't mean she couldn't have a night of fun with this 'blind date' thing.

Aitana was a strange mixture of masculine and feminine, her hair loose and girly, her red dress short with a line of ruffles running the length of it. Her posture was anything but feminine though, the soft definition of atheletic muscle visible on her crossed arms, and her tanned face lacking any sort of makeup. Finding the table with her name on it, she pulled out her postcard once more before flopping down into her seat, glancing at the information provided.

The girl was not exactly Aitana's type, but she was cute in her own mousey way. The description provided had been perhaps more confusing. Aitana had to look up the word 'dork', and though she'd never really gotten a full understanding of it, it was easy enough to see that it had been a derogatory one, which had puzzled the proud girl as to why anyone would say such a thing about themselves. Aitana however was definately a stud! And she was strong enough to lift someone off their feet. So only time would tell.

Leaned back in her chair, she tapped the leg of the table with her foot as she listened to the music. Hopefully this whole thing wouldn't be too frilly and girly.

Parting with $50 had been a real stretch for Corey. It had taken many hours of debating at the arcade and later at home to decide to that it was worth it. And in the end it'd only been worth it to not have to be alone on Valentine's Day. Corey Boone had MORE than enough experience with that, and it was about time he did something about it. Besides.. he'd decided to non chalantly stick some fliers for his arcade out around the neighborhood, advertising the 'perfect' place to take someone for a valentine date. So he could totally write this off as a business dinner!

He had been curious about who he might get matched up with for the blind date. He was cautious not to get his hopes up too high, knowing quite well that he might get matched with someone less than 'legal'. After all how many eligible legal ladies were they? He never saw them running around, but then.. he was usually locked away in the arcade. The surprise when he finally got his card though was one he was not prepared for. The cute teacher that he'd met that one time! It wasn't a blind date at all. Though she'd scolded him he thought she was pretty sweet and fun. He probably didn't stand a chance at getting laid though, alas.

He'd still have fun, especially if he could succeed in fulfilling Alexis' request. Hopefully she hadn't been dissapointed getting her card!

Recalling Seraphina's advice Corey dug through his closet for his cleanest and least ripped up pair of tight fitting jeans and his one and only buttoned up shirts (a soft powder blue), tying his hair back into a simple ponytail. He'd helped himself to a small teddy bear from the claw machine, a set of 8 crayons from the ticket booth, and couple of the balloons (usually used for birthdays at the arcades). Using a ribbon that had been sitting in the lost and found for a few months he attached the balloons with a small bow around the toy's neck.

Having arrived early enough to put up the fliers Corey was able to set the small gift on their table, arranging it before he set to waiting patiently for the familiar face. He had to pull out her chair when she arrived after all!

The dress code had said formal wear, so Arian had swapped his jeans (his usual trousers of choice when not in the shorts of his school uniform) for a pair of smart black trousers and paired it with a white shirt and black waistcoat. The dark-hired teen had forgone a bow tie or even a tie, but had dug out some cuff links – even if they were froggie cuff links. Although at least the cuff links matched the ribbon tying back his long dark hair into a low ponytail.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Saffy had shelled out fifty dollars for this thing, then there was no way that Arian would have turned up to something like this. As it was the dark-haired teen was already half regretting turning up and being dazzled on entrance by the flash of a camera hadn’t helped. The whole blind date thing seemed so incredibly awkward – and that was without the whole mix-up in postcards thing – and yes to Arian it was most obviously a mix-up.

It took finding the table – a table that was most clearly set up for three people – for Arian to begin to think that maybe, just maybe the two post cards thing hadn’t been some sort of mistake. Although the fact that his was only one of two tables set up for three wasn’t making the dark-haired teen feel any more comfortable about being there. To be honest right now about the only saving grace to the whole thing was the fact that he at least knew one of the faces on the two postcards, albeit not very well and Harmony had always seemed nice the few times they’d met.

Almost as thinking of Harmony had conjured her, Arian looked up in time to notice the mint-haired teen enter the room herself and gave a small wave from where he was over by the table.
