Sorry that it took me so long to put out this chapter. I really have been trying. I hit a bit of writer's block and the amount of tests I had this week didn't help either. But finally I was able to finish this chapter. I hope you enjoy Steve and Amy's first date! Read and Review! Love from ~AmaryllisPotter

Amy Pov:

Amy began to make her way through the crowd of bustling people along the street passing street performers and stopping to give homeless people a few coins. As she walked she replayed the directions Steve gave her to his favorite coffee shop in her head. They were meeting at the Athens Coffee Shop a place that apparently served really good coffee. At least in Steve's opinion. Amy was a bit wary. She hadn't known Steve for long, but she had found out that he had a well to put nicely, eccentric taste in food, and clothes. With the clothes, though, one could simply call it old fashioned. Soon, Amy found her way to the coffee shop and walked in ordering a cappuccino and some scones to share with Steve when he got there. She sat down and checked her watch. She was five minutes early.

A few minutes later the worker called out her name and she quickly grabbed the cappuccino and scones turning around and colliding into a male's hard chest. Her coffee spilled all over his blue flannel. She looked up to apologize and saw herself looking up into Steve's sapphire blue eyes. Laughing she gently teased him., "This is quite the first date, Steve! Do you bump into every girl you take out to coffee like this?" He blushed and said, "I didn't mean to bump into you! I'm really sorry about that Amy." Amy smiled. He didn't realize she was teasing him at all. He's clueless. "Relax Steve. I was teasing you." He blushed heavily and said, "I'll order us some drinks. Would you like a new cappuccino?" "Sure," Amy chirped cheerfully. "But be quick or I'll eat all the scones!"

After grabbing their drinks and taking a seat Amy and Steve began to devour the scones. "So what do you do for a living?" Steve asked Amy. "After graduating from medical school a few years ago I moved over to New York from England and found a job in the hospital. I work in the Emergency Room." Amy replied brightly. "That's wonderful. Do you have family here in the States or do you live on your own?" "My family is dead." Amy replied shortly. She then looked down at her plate and said, "I've got to go to the loo, I'll be right back." Before she could escape, though, Steve grabbed her waist and pulled her back towards him grabbing her hand as he did so. "Hey," he said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know that was a touchy subject for you. Let's just forget about that and continue on with our day." She sighed and sat back down. "Fine. But please don't mention it again. It's a bit of a touchy subject for me." "I think I can do that," Steve smiled. It was only then that Amy realized that they were still holding hands. A deep red blush overcame her cheeks. She ducked her head and looked up at Steve through her lashes. He was looking away from her and whistling a cheerful tune. But she could see a faint red blush dusting his cheeks and a smirk tugging the corner of his lip. She smirked inwardly and squeezed his hand tightly watching amusedly as he jumped, going tomato red. "So what do you do for a job?" (AN: I know that this kind of conflicts with previous chapters, but let's just pretend that they had a spontaneous meeting and haven't revealed any secrets to each other about their pasts).

Suddenly, Steve seemed to shift a bit from the kind gentlemanly person he seemed to be and became a little more aloof. "I work for the Government," he said shortly, but not unkindly. Amy decided not to press. It wouldn't do well on her first date since Fred's death to go awry. "Let's play a game." Steve relaxed a bit, "Sure, I'm up for that. What do you want to play?" Amy thought for a second, "How about twenty questions? I have some M&M's on hand that we can use as rewards. We'll ask each other about our favorite things, and every time you or I get a question right we get an M&M." Steve smirked mischievously and said, "That sounds fun, but every time one of us loses they have to do any dare that the other person says." Amy pouted a bit, but quickly conceded, "Fine. We'll do it your way."

She then took out a bag of M&M's and poured them onto the paper plates that held the remnants of the scones they had devoured. "Alright," Amy said, "First question. What is my favorite food?" Steve laughed, "I'd guess blueberry scones from the way you devoured the plate of them earlier!" "I'm a paper thin person aren't I." Amy sighed pouting playfully. "Completely." Steve ribbed playfully. "My turn," he rubbed his hands together gleefully, "What is my favorite color?" Amy thought for a bit. "I'd guess green since I've seen you in green shirts twice." "Wrong," Steve smirked, "You have to do a dare now." Amy groaned, "Noooooooooooo! You are devious! Please save me!" She shrieked drawing amused glances from the other customers. "Nope," Steve said, "It's part of the game." He thought and murmured to himself, "What shall I make you do?" Then his face lit up mischievously and he whispered, "Perfect. Alright, you have to go over to that man over there," He pointed to a balding man with flip flops on, "and hold his pinky toe for ten seconds." Amy moaned and groaned but commenced with the dare. She walked up to the man with a sway in her hips and cheerfully asked, "Hello. Can I hold your pinky toe for a bit?" Then she grabbed his toe and proceeded to hold it for ten seconds. "Are we engaged now or something?" the man asked stupidly. "No honey. I'm on a date right now. Enjoy your coffee!" Amy replied sashaying back to the table she shared with Steve. He seemed to be off in dreamland.

The two spent several hours in the coffee shop and Amy learned several things about Steve: First, he loved the color blue. Second, his favorite food was mashed potatoes which Amy found a bit quirky but endearing. Finally, Steve hated bullies. If he caught a gang picking on a little guy, he'd intervene and fix things. Bullying would never be tolerated. Those were only a few of the numerous things she learned about Steve. As they walked through Central Park in the afternoon sun with golden leaves swirling around them they chatted making light-hearted conversation until Amy smiled softly and said, "It's been a great day Steve. I haven't had this much fun in a long time with work and all. We'll have to get together again sometime. How about we see a movie this Friday?" Steve smiled brightly and said, "I'd love that! I'll pick you up at 7, and we'll go out to dinner beforehand, alright?" "That sounds good to me!" Steve's smile could have set the world on fire. "Great! I'll walk you home, and then I'll see you on Friday!" Amy giggled at Steve's enthusiasm and they made their way through the crowded New York streets stopping at the door of Amy's apartment. Amy smiled softly and said, "Thanks for the wonderful day Steve! I'll see you on Friday at 7." And with that, she kissed his cheek and walked inside closing the door of her apartment behind.

She caught Calypso spying on her from the fridge and said, "Yes it was a great day Calypso now stop nagging me!" Then she smiled to herself and murmured "It was a great day wasn't it." Little did she know that Steve had murmured the same thing as he walked home with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

I hope you enjoyed. I'll try to have another update within two weeks. If you enjoyed please review! I did my best to make this date as unique as possible and I really hope you guys liked it! Love ~AmaryllisPotter
