She had been apprehensive to sign up for the singles mingle over at the art museum from the get go…but the thought of another Singles Awareness Day alone was…well. It was pretty depressing. Though that was how she always spent it…so she supposed if she hadn’t signed up for the blind date…nothing would have changed.
But…sadly, Gale had decided to be bold, be different and go out of her comfort zone…like, all the way out of her comfort zone to see what hot babe she was going to get paired with at this dance to end all dances. She was dressed in her best dress, a dark blue knee length, slightly flowy dress. Honestly, she had only bought it because she loved the bell sleeves, and the way she felt like some fantasy character. That was always great.
Her hair was up in its normal pigtails, as per norm, and she was waiting in the courtyard, sitting on the bench near the koi fountain. She had shown up quite early and was growing rather nervous for what her partner was going to look like. On the card…it said that he was a cat, but what did that even mean? Was that some sort of code for…something?
Her hands were tied up in a piece of multicolored string, making different shapes and knots with it—her nervous habit.
The brunette hoped that this Arthur was going to show up soon…

He hadn't been on an actual date before. His excursions into the night were quick exchange of body language, scents, and a whole lot of fighting. THIS was far more civil but was of a completely different playbook.
But he had seen plenty of soap operas. He was sure he'd do fine.
He hoped.
Maybe he should have watched some re-runs to refresh his memory?
Gale would indeed find that the notice of Arthur being a cat was not some lingo for slender, smooth, man-beast but indeed a cat - or more specific, guardian.
Arthur walked into the courtyard dressed in a tuxedo top and small top hat tied off in black string about his head, custom made by Phact upon his request. After asking her several times if he looked impressive and if the top hat was too much, he left the house.
He moved up and onto the bench beside the girl and looked about before looking up at her. "Gale?"

She had been so focused on her string being turned into shape after shape, that when the voice near her sounded, Gale jumped, looking around, the string tangling around her fingers. He was here. Arthur was here and…
Pale lilac eyes frantically looked around, trying to find the source of the voice and finally landed on the white cat in the…adorable little tuxedo top and hat.
Gale didn’t want to think that her partner was really a cat…but…but it wouldn’t have been the first talking cat she had met now would it have been. Hadaya had talked…but.
“…You’re not Arthur…are you, kitty?” Was her date really a cat…
Why would she have…Why did she get stuck with a four legged furry…top hat wearing date…Was this some kind of a cruel joke? Get her out of the house and stick her with a pawed date…this was…this was the worst. “Ahahah…”

He looked at himself, hunching as the other girl laughed. Maybe....he was too dressed up.
Frowning, he looked down and nodded. "Yes, I guess....you were not what you were hoping?" He asked, looking up at her over his half-moon glasses. "I know I am not very tall, but I can do my best. You look like a lovely young lady by teh way. I just....wasn't sure they were paring us this way. I admit I thought you'd be more....." Cat. "...nevermind."
He tried not to nervously clean his face and instead turned over to her. "Would you like to talk for a while or...um, I can try getting you something to drink?"

“It wasn’t…you’re not…not what I was hoping I was just expecting…I didn’t realize…” Gale tried to convey that she didn’t want to be rude, because she didn’t…he seemed like a very nice cat! “I was just expecting a human, I’m sorry! But I’m happy I got you, honestly…I bet this’ll turn out better than if you were a human anyway…”
She had to admit that this was the truth and sighed at it, shaking her head. “So…are you a guardian like Hadaya is? I met him before, he uh…unlocked my powers…?”
Well, the cat was out of the bag with that so to speak, and Gale did hope that this cat was a good cat…but could there even be bad cats? She didn’t think so, and thus, found no real fault in telling him that she was indeed a senshi…which was what she was doing, though trying to keep it on the down low as much as possible. Seriously.
“If you wouldn’t mind, I’d rather just keep talking and getting to know you, you seem very nice, and I do love your outfit…the hat is amazing. Maybe I’ll have to crochet you a scarf too, since you seem like you’re a feline with fashion sense!”

"Uh...well.....I've seen others but..." He lifted his paws up and looked at them a while before setting them back down. "..I don't get it."
Turning about, he smiled. "Yup, I'm a guardian. I haven't met Hadaya though.Oh, and this....well, I didn't want to be a disappointing."
It was good they could talk, and he honestly did want to know more about her. "How are you liking being a senshi? Been one long? I've been awakening for a while but kinda new to...." He lifted a paw vaguely. "...being with everyone else."

“You’re not disappointing! Honest!” Gale felt just horrible that this poor cat had been stuck with her, and that she had made him feel bad, why would anyone want to make a cat feel bad about anything? That was just cruel.
“I…It’s interesting…to be honest. I’m not really sure what I’m doing so I just go around and…you know, do things. I met a nice guy not too long ago, he was enjoyable to talk to, and I decided to crochet him a scarf, so that’s been keeping me somewhat busy. I feel like that’s my biggest thing, and I don’t know why I’m not just…you know, the senshi of scarves…or crochet…ing. But instead, I’m the senshi of loyalty? I mean, I’ve never thought of myself as a loyal person…I’m not a bad person, I mean! I just think of loyal people like, as the ones who will chain themselves to whatever it is they’re…loyal to, and I’m not that…intense, you know?”
The brunette glanced around and hesitated for a minute. “Would you like to dance? I mean, it would kind of be a waste to come out to a singles dance and not…not dance, right?” She offered her hand to him, hoping he would accept. Dancing with cats was so easy, and there were no toes to step on!

"Well sometimes it's something you need to figure out or even make your own. It doesn't mean it's the one thing that defines you. You are still you with all your crocheting and all." He informed her before jumping up onto the top of the backrest of the bench. It would give him more height than maki g te poor girl kneel over and strain her back.
"I would love to dance, but please forgive me for being unable to do anything too fancy. I've got too left paws."
He rose up on his hind legs and offered his paws to her. "My lady, May I have this dance?"

Gale gave a little chuckle and nodded. “Yeah, I guess so…and I would absolutely love to give you this dance. It would make my night. She took the cat’s paws and her eyes sparkled. After a moment, she scooped Arthur up and held him in her arms, doing a little twirl. “You know, I think this might have been one of the best dates I’ve ever been on. You’re quite a gentleman. Thank you very much for everything you’ve said, Arthur, and I hope you and I get to be friends. Good friends, even.”
For a moment, Gale was quiet, then she placed a kiss right on the white cat’s nose. “You are too cute.”

Eyes wide, his fur stood right on end at feeling her soft lips against his sensitive nose, and he quickly placed both paws against her lips as he turned away.
"MISS GALE! We only just meet!" He said, finding it hard to speak with his heart in his throat.

Gale’s eyes widened and for half a second she was afraid that she was going to drop the cat on the ground. She kept her grip on him however and finally laughed. “Don’t be a goose, Arthur. We’re friends here, and we are on a date, after all. It was just a little nose peck, I’m sure all the pretty kitty ladies kiss you on the nose all the time, and all the pretty senshi to boot! A dashing cat like you must get millions of kisses!”
She gave another spin and smiled. This was one of the best dances she had ever been to. Bar none.
“Hey, we can hang out again sometime right? Maybe when I’m out doing my duties and stuff… you could come with me and we could dance again, if you wanted.” When the song ended, she put the guardian back on the bench and sighed. “I’d like that, at least.”

"J-Just cats and well...um...I shouldn't be talking about those to a young lady." They were not so much nose kisses as licks and nuzzles. There was something much different to general cats to senshi or people in general. He often felt strange, as senshi had the conversation and mind to back it up, and yet cats and the form and mannerisms. Both had their appeals and yet had such a gap in what was proper for what he was.
"You are my first...young lady." He admitted, and was lowered before he hopped back onto the bench, tail still puffed from the moment of shock.
"I'd like that, but I'm not a very good guardian. I've been trying to be better at it."

“Oh don’t say that about yourself. I’m sure you’re a great guardian, and I know already that you’re going to be an even better friend.” She grinned, then glanced at the watch on her arm, the grin fading. “Ugh. It’s a lot later than I thought it was…I think I should be heading home, I have an essay that’s due on Monday that I’ve been putting off for the last month, because…well. That’s just the girl I am.” Gale gave an apologetic smile and waved. “I’ll see you again, right? You’ll have to come patrolling with me, and maybe just come stay at my house sometimes, especially when it’s cold…I mean, if you don’t have anywhere else to stay, that is…but. I really think you’re a great cat. The Cat’s Meow.”
The girl laughed and waved once again, before turning. She paused for a moment and looked back at Arthur. "Do you want to just come with me tonight? I wouldn't mind the company at all!"
It hadn’t been a normal date…not by any means…but at least she hadn’t been embarrassed to tears by her un-coordination or paired off with a jerk…that would have just been a nightmare.
No, going out tonight had been a good idea…and now she had another scarf to make, this one for a cat. The cutest cat in the whole world~

He hopped down to stand beside her legs and looked up, but of course at a respectable distance. "I wouldn't be much of a gentleman if I didn't want a young lady home. If it isn't a bother to you, I could try and help you with your essay."
He circled about her a moment before shaking his fur. "I certainly wouldn't mind going on patrol. I have a phone you are always free to call. I like chatting a great deal."
With that, he gave a curt bow. "And you have been a most excellent and wondrous date. I couldn't have asked for a more divine young lady."
