Hey folks! How did everyone like the precious chapter? It was mainly there to shoe that Angie is a very playful woman. It's fun to write these interactions. Now, to those Icy Wrath fans, you know who you are. Next Thursday will be the long awaited continuation! I haven't gotten my new keyboard, sadly, but I have decided to just bite the bullet and go slow with it anyway. Using the tablet for the chapter length I output in a story will be rough...but I know some of you miss the JayKat ship. So expect chapter 35 next week this time! I will alternate between Icy Wrath and Rising and maybe T.F.O.R. Anyway! Let's go!

Chapter 41: A Simple Date

So the date had been established. Satoru agreed to it after all. He and Angie were on their way to a restaurant in Mossdeep City. Angie decided that would be the place that they went to. Satoru had borrowed Shelly's Mantine and with a little work, she managed to fly the both of them, with Angie holding onto Satoru's back. The two landed in Mossdeep within half an hour due to Mossdeep being not too far from Lilycove.

'Thanks for the lift Mantine...it seems those Remoraid enjoy helping out too...'

'Indeed they do! Just let me know when you two wanna head back and I will gladly fly you!'

'Will do. Thanks!' Satoru replied, watching as Mantine swam off.

"That was rather fun. I am impressed with how you got that to work."

'Thanks, the two Remoraid just happened to be there so I figured...why not?'

"It's really handy. Now, shall we dine? It's about the perfect time too. Sunsets over here are really nice," Angie smiled.

'So I've heard. So, you said the food was good here right?'

"Yep! And you will just have to wait and see how good it is. I don't do spoilers," Angie grinned.

Satoru chuckled mutely and the two walked towards what looked to be a family owned place. Both he and Angie were dressed rather casually for this. Then again, this was not a fancy joint. But, according to her? This place had good food. Satoru opened the door for her, much like a gentleman would and allowed her to walk inside.

"And people say that chivalry is dead...scoring early are we?" Angie teased.

Satoru simply shrugged and walked inside. They were both in uniform. Nothing overly spiffy, just what they wore. Why she wanted it this way was odd to him, until he walked inside. The place had a rather rough and tumble atmosphere to it. There were sailors and fishermen alike in this place. There was a pianist over in the corner tickling the ivories gracefully with his fingers.

Satoru raised a brow at this place. Where exactly had he agreed to take her? The place seemed lively until they saw Angie and Satoru. They all stared at them sternly for a moment. Angie stared back, a smirk tracing her features as she knew just about every one of these scallywags.

"ANGIE!" They all cheered.

'You know these people?'

"Yes. They're from my hometown. They may be a rowdy bunch, but like everybody else, they have dreams," Angie grinned.

Satoru raised a brow and then looked around.

"He ya scallywags! Been a long time hasn't it?"

"Aye lass, it sure has! We haven't seen ye in a while. By the way, whose the scamp?"

"This is Satoru. Don't bother asking him anything though, unless you all have a NAV or anything. He's a dear friend and we're here for a meal, on him of course," Angie smirked.

"Oh? Is that so lassie? Why don't the two of ye have a seat and let ol' Jacob fix ya up somethin' nice?" Jacob laughed heartily.

"You always did cook the best gramps," Angie chuckled.

"Aye, but ye be the better chef, but thank ye for the compliment!" Jacob said as he retreated into the kitchen, singing a sailor's tune about the sea.

X-X-X

"So, let me see if I got this right. I know Archie and Shelly discussed it in the meeting but, really? An Ace?" Angie said as she took a bite of her shrimp before digging into her main course, chicken alfredo.

Satoru did the same, not even needing to pause to speak, but out of respect, he waited until he swallowed.

'Yes. It was a long and hard process, but after all was said and done, I received that title.'

"I see. It sounds like it took a long time. So, Satoru...what other hobbies do you have?" Angie asked curiously.

Satoru thought about it for a moment. There was quite a list of things he liked to do. For one, he liked to draw. He had several ink drawings he'd made hung up in his room as well as in a notebook at home.

'Well...it's nothing too extravagant. I do ink drawings...as well as make models and stuff...but those are two of many. Music is something I like and though I can't play...I do enjoy a playing harmonica...'

"Really now? Harmonicas are fun to listen to. Oddly enough they are one of my favorite instruments. Art is also something I like. Looks like you are racking up more points Satoru..." Angie grinned.

'Good to know. I am curious about that still...'

"Too bad, you'll have to wait!" Angie grinned, taking another bite of her food.

X-X-X

"Arceus, I can't eat another bite..." Angie laughed, holding her tummy.

'This was indeed really good. Almost as good as the time you made it. This has somewhat of a different flavor to it.'

"Points for flattery, and yes...my recipe is different. Mine has some kick to it if you remember."

'How can I forget? Once I got used to it, I wanted more.'

"Indeed."

"How was the meal you two?" Jacob asked as he walked up to their table.

"Delicious as always Jacob! You still got it ya old geezer!" Angie grinned.

"Thank ye lass. I be appreciatin' that," Jacob smiled.

"Now, what do you all say to some dancing?" Angie grinned, looking over at Satoru.

Satoru's eyes widened at this. He wasn't sure he liked where this was going, but he would go with it.

X-X-X

"Well Satoru, that was a lot of fun! It took you several tries but you got the hang of it after falling over a few times," Angie laughed.

'Mom did say I have two left feet...except when it came to the waltz, I was good at if the right teacher came along I could learn...'

"Well, I think you could be good with enough practice. So, what next?" Angie inquired.

Satoru thought for a moment and then a thought hit him. The sun was down, the stars were out and most everyone was asleep. He glanced out towards the water as an idea dawned on him.

'Come with me,' Satoru said as he took her hand and led her to the water.

"Are we taking a dip?" Angie queried.

Satoru shook his head.

'No. Better. This is gonna feel strange but I have a feeling you might like it.'

"What are you planning? You'd better not try anything funny Satoru..." Angie warned.

Satoru simply smirked and flared up his psychic energy. Angie was soon surrounded with the same blue-green aura and was now levitating with Satoru over the water.

"Okay. This is cool!" Angie grinned, looking back at Satoru as she was pulled closer via psychic force.

'I thought that maybe we could have a little fun. Perhaps you would care to have a go at dancing out here?'

Angie beamed at this proposition. She had to admit, swimming was one thing, but dancing on the water was a whole new level of exciting.

"Just be sure you don't step on my toes. Kidding. Satoru, you have definitely earned some points for this, bonus actually..."

'I figured I would, so...shall we?'

"Yes...let's" Angie smirked.

And so ends their simple little date. Nothing too fancy right? Just a date in a restaurant with burly sailors and fishermen. Oh, and spot the movie references if you can. So yeah, it was fun to write. But this will be just the beginning. I hope you all enjoyed it because yes, it's that time. My weekly hiatus. See you guys next week!
