Who: Sam Witwicky and Ganieda
What: Date Night
When: Saturday
Ratings: Let's say PG.

Despite the fact that she didn't even really understand the whole concept of dating, Ganieda had changed her outfit several times and had re-done her hair twice as many times. In the end, however, she decided on skirts and loose hair because that was how she was most comfortable. At least the skirt was in denim and it was very comfortable, and her blouse was a shade of red that set off her skin and hair, and seemed to set her green eyes afire.

Ganieda hoped that things would go well. He seemed to like her, and she certainly liked him. But where does that go now? It puzzled her, this new ritual between male and female. The touching and yet not-touching, committing but yet not. She would have to talk to Sam about it, and perhaps her brother. But not tonight.

She sat at her bedroom window, brushing her hair and watching for Sam in the street.

She smiled and took them. "They're lovely, Sam. Thank you. Won't you sit down? I'll just get a vase to put them in."

She went into the kitchen to get one, filling it up with water and arranging the blossoms. I am assuming he did not intend to wish me fertility. Traditions are so strange this far in the future.

She turned back to him with a bright smile once she had fetched her cellphone.

"I think I'm ready now."

	He nodded and perched on a chair's edge, nervous, grinning, bouncy. Oh wow, she looked good, and this was really happening and wow! When she returned, he rose and bowed to her, extending a hand. "Shall we go then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed, making a small curtsy, and slipped her hand into his. His hands were warm, and it made her shiver a bit. "Yes. Let us go." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He led her out, waiting while she locked up, then led her to his car, helping her in, before sliding in himself and starting to drive. "How, ah, how have you been, the last few days?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ganieda has had few chances to ride in private automobiles, save for her brother's. So she's looking around a little bit.

"I have been quite well, save for the little upset at school." She sighs. "Twas easier at home to be...what I am. I do not like having to keep secrets."

She's good at it, but it doesn't mean she likes it.

She smiles over at him. "And how have you been?"

He drove carefully, if well, glancing at her, and smiling goofily occasionally.

"You shouldn't have to. I wish the world was a little more open, you know? But a lot of people are not ready to deal with reality. Not if it differs from their view."

He shrugged.

"Okay. Business is okay, and college is going well. Just started a new semester, and it's... slow? Yeah, slow."

	"This is true. It does not make it terribly amusing, though." She paused thoughtfully. "Though I could wreak havoc with their candles and no one would be the wiser..." She and Merlin had always loved to pull pranks. There was a strong streak of mischief in their family. "I'm sure it will pick up soon. So...college. What sorts of things do people learn there?"

He nodded.

"True. "

He laughed.

"Or make their hair colors turn weird colors!"

He blinked.

"What can you do, anyway, if you don't mind my asking. I find myself curious."

He smiled as she asked.

"Well, that depends on your goal. We have these things called majors, that indicate your goal. My major is two-fold, in business and computer/electrical engineering. So, all my classes, beyond the basic ones, will be oriented to that goal. everyone learns a little math, science, and English, but beyond that, it is all about your major."

She laughs. "I cannot do that yet! Mostly, I work with energy and light and fire. I can create fire, make it bigger and smaller. I can work with energy, shields and small bursts in order to defend myself. And I can conjure sources of safe, warm light. I am still learning, and dreadfully behind, but my brother is helping me. He's a very good teacher."

Not to mention the most powerful wizard in history.

"Hm...it sounds a little like an apprenticeship. But in a...school-like setting, am I right?"

He chuckled.

"Ahhh. Okay. That sounds cool. So you could make something small burn up, or guide someone safely in he dark. Sounds like it could be really useful! Very cool, Ganieda."

He grinned.

"It sounds like your brother is a remarkable man."

Then he blinked, and nodded.

"Yeah, I think that is about right. You can live on campus, in a dorm, and attend classes taught by teachers who are organized by the University."

She blushed. She had talent, it was sure, but nothing compared to her brother (or so she was used to thinking).

And she hardly ever mentions her visions unless they are a going concern.

"Yes, he is. Very much so. Merlin and I may come from different timelines but he is still very much the brother I knew."

She nodded. "There's plenty of time for me to decide, at least. Well...sort of. I mean, I never had very many dreams about what I would be when I 'grew up'."

She finds it slightly amusing that people still talk, at her age, about 'growing up'. In Ganieda's eyes, she's already grown up.

One of his eyebrows went up at the name Merlin, but he took it in stride. This world was proving that he could stop jumping at everything that happened.

"I am glad. Having family around would be nice."

He missed his parents, truly, even if he had chafed to get out alone.

"Here, you can be anything you want to be, as long as you are willing to put in the hard work, and you are physically capable of it."

	"Family is important. I do not think Mother realizes that. There are times I feel quite ridiculously orphaned." She's beginning to worry much more now. Ganieda smiled over at him. "Well, I cannot imagine what I would study now, so it is a good thing, perhaps, that I have a couple more years of this high school thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_notahero565 2008-09-14 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	He winced. "Anything I can do to help? There has top be a way to make things better." He glanced at her, worried a little. Then he chuckled. "Maybe so. If I were you... I would probably study modern culture, and maybe add in some energy physics, so you could learn more about the forces your magic controls." He blushed. "But that probably would be silly."

"I do not see how. As I understand it, I seem to be old enough to be left on my own till all hours, but not old enough to make any important decisions for myself. It is quite odd."

She grinned at him. "No, it isn't silly at all. I have been wondering how I could use what I can do to help people here, to make this world a little better. I'm sure that the things people here teach would be of help to me in that way. It is just...I hear girls around here talking about being nurses and doctors, lawyers and all manner of things that were once only the purview of men...or else not something one could aspire to at all. I do not have a satisfactory answer to 'what shall I be when I grow up.'" She shrugged. "But I suppose those things come in time."

	He nodded. "That sounds... I'm sorry." He turned a corner as they approached the theater. "You will figure it out. Why let others confine you with their definitions. Be you, when you grow up. Everything else is irrelevant, and you, well, you are pretty damn special." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-09-14 03:18 pm UTC (link)
	She blushed again. "I am glad you think so," she said softly. "I suppose I must...what is the term...'roll with it'?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_notahero565 2008-09-14 03:22 pm UTC (link)
	He blushed, then grinned. "That is right." He parked and turned to her, then nodded and slid out of the car, coming around to open her door and let her out, offering her his hand as he did so. "I'm glad you decided to come today." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-09-14 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	He was very polite. She took his hand and got out of the car. "I'm glad you asked me," she said. She looks up at the marquee at the theater. "I love the lights in this time frame. They're so pretty." Though there was something to be said for pitch blackness at night. Moonlight and starlight were beautiful when there were no other lights to interfere.

	He managed to keep her hand in his without making it look too fake... he hoped. He led her there, grinning, until they were in the line for the box office. He bought them tickets, then led her inside. "Would you like something to drink, or snack on during the movies? It's a two for one. Come to see one movie, and see the second for free."

	mystic_twin 2008-09-14 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	She didn't mind. It was one way they couldn't get separated in a crowd. She looked up at him, biting her lip a little as she smiled. "Hmm...what does one usually eat at a thing like this?" she asked. "And...what is that wonderful smell?" She's never had popcorn before, as it happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_notahero565 2008-09-14 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Lessee. There are hot dogs, nachos, ice cream, sodas, and popcorn." He inhaled. there were several scents, but... "Ahhh, that is popcorn. Shall we get a bag?" He drew her toward the line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-09-14 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, if it tastes half as good as it smells..." She grins at him. "And...a coke, perhaps?" She'd gotten used to the beverage at home and she liked it. Plus, it had the pleasant side effect of waking her up. Everything was so interesting, and she tried not to look too "new" at this, but she couldn't help looking around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_notahero565 2008-09-14 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded and ordered a large popcorn and two cokes, and paid for them, handing her the bag of warm, buttery popcorn when it arrived. "If you will hold that till we get inside?" He grinned at her. "Shall we go? We have about ten minutes until the first movie is scheduled to start." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mystic_twin 2008-09-14 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	She takes the bag from him and smiles. "Let's do that, then." They walk into the theater and down the aisle. Ganieda looks particularly puzzled at the seats. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
