Amanda and Finn are going on their first official date. They're older than the books…like 18 or 19. Enjoy!

Bella Notte from Disney's Lady and the Tramp

Oh this is the night

It's a beautiful night and

We call it Bella Notte

Finn said it was a fancy place….shame on him, Amanda thought.

"Hey Jess, you want to help me?" Amanda yelled down the hall in a desperate voice.

She came soon, breathless from running. "What's wrong?" Jess huffed.

"I don't know what to wear" Amanda grinned. Jess's eyes lit up.

"Oh yeah! I'll help…ooo I'm so excited for you!" As Jess raided her closet, Amanda checked her phone for a time from Finn.

I'll pick you up in an hour – Finn

Jess glanced over Amanda's shoulder and squealed, than panicked. "We only have an hour! Yikes! Hurry up and get in your dress."

Jess had been holding a dress that came about mid-thigh that would flow nicely down Amanda's figure. It was dark blue with thin straps and shimmered in the light.

"That one?" Amanda asked, skeptical. Jess just nodded and grinned to big for Amanda's liking. "Fine." The fact that she was pleasing Jess this much was scary. (Scary in a funny way….there's nothing scary or Maleficent related in this story)

One hour, Finn thought to himself as he closed his phone. He wasn't nervous, more anxious than anything. He had made reservations at Tony's in the Magic Kingdom and worked it out with Disney. (NOT KIDDING! If you haven't been to the magic kingdom, there really is a restaurant called Tony's from Lady and the Tramp…ironic right? Ok, I'm done)

This would mark the first time Finn entered the park with permission. Finn smiled at the thought.

"You look beautiful!" Jess exclaimed an hour later. She had put Amanda through the war of all things makeup and hair but it saved her the trouble of doing it herself. Beside, she wanted to look her best for Finn.

"Thanks sis" Amanda said smiling, hoping it would let Jess know she truly was grateful for the work she had put into getting her ready.

*Honk honk*

"Eeep! He's here" Jess jumped up, more excited than normal for Finn to be at their place.

This is going to be embarrassing, Amanda thought as Jess ran down to meet Finn at the door.

"Hey" Finn said when Jess let him in.

"Ignore me stupid! She's upstairs" Jess said as she motioned him up the stairs.

Finn walked slowly, but still approached Amanda's bedroom sooner than he expected. Nerves were getting to him now. Finn turned into her room to see Amanda coming out of the bathroom attached.

"You look amazing" Finn breathed out. And she did indeed. Finn made a mental note to thank Jess since Amanda wasn't normally comfortable with dressing up. Finn liked that in a girl, one that didn't care too much about her appearance but then again, he believed Amanda didn't need to work on her looks at all.

Amanda was startled by his sudden appearance. "Hey" she smiled "You do too." Amanda now understood why Jess had pushed the dark blue dress…"Did Jess dress you?" she asked, laughing, taking in Finn's light blue button down shirt with black pants.

Finn blushed, leaning against the doorframe. "Maybe."

"Well she did a good job" Amanda smiled, walking up to him and kissed his cheek. She had to stand on her tiptoes since Finn had practically grown a foot since their last adventure. As she pulled back, Finn quickly but swiftly place his hand behind her neck and kissed her like he's never kissed her before. Amanda, taken aback yet pleased, returned with as much enthusiasm. They continued this until they heard an "ahem" from behind. (Did anyone else think of Dolores Umbridge when reading "ahem"…? Let me know lol)

Sure as the sky is blue, Jess was standing behind them. Both now blushing stared at her in annoyance but Finn glanced at his watch and said, "We gotta go."

They hurried out to his car and drove off, leaving Jess giggling to herself.

"So where are we going?" Amanda asked.

"It's a surprise," Finn said, squeezing her hand. He was suddenly thankful he was a good one-armed driver.

As Finn approached the Magic Kingdom gate, Amanda stared at him. "Umm…"

"You'll see" Finn answered her puzzled look. He was enjoying her confusion.

"Finn, you can't sneak in again," Amanda pointed out.

"Relax, I asked and got permission" he smiled.

Amanda was amazed as they made their way on the boat that would take them to the park. There was no one in sight.

"Where is everybody?" She asked.

"I don't know, but I'm not complaining" Finn said, capturing Amanda's hand in his.

"Beautiful view isn't it" Amanda said dreamily looking at the stars as the boat left the dock.

"Sure is" Finn said, looking down at Amanda.

Look at the skies

They have stars in their eyes

On this lovely Bella Notte

Side by side with your loved one

You'll find enchantment here

The night will weave its magic spell

"Finn, I was talking about the stars."

"I wasn't" Finn said with all seriousness. Amanda smiled and leaned back into his open arms.

"I can't believe this is our first date, I mean, how long have we been together?" she asked.

"Hmm it's been about…nine months?"

"Sounds about right" Amanda said.

"Sorry I waited so long" Finn said, referring to the fact that he had failed to make special arrangements before now.

"It's ok" she smiled "we've been busy with the rest of the Keepers, I understand. It doesn't change the way I feel about you."

"And how do you feel?" Finn said, curiously.

"I love you Finn" Amanda said suddenly "Sorry it's taken me nine months to say so."

Finn's stare full of curiosity turned up into a grin. "I love you too."

When the one you love is near

Oh this is the night

And the heavens are right

On this lovely Bella Notte

They arrived at Tony's and much to Amanda's disappointment, found the place rather packed.

"How'd you get a reservation here Finn?" Amanda asked.

"You'll see, be patient" he answered and put his arm around her waist.

A few minutes later, a hostess showed them to a table in a far corner of the restaurant. It was quiet and very secluded.

"Aw Finn!" Amanda said with delight in her voice.

"Nothings too good for my girl" Finn said as they sat down beside each other.

They soon ordered and spent some quiet time just sitting there, enjoying the evening. Finn had just put his arm around Amanda's shoulder as she laid her head on his when music started playing. Amanda smiled when she heard,

This is the night

It's a beautiful night

And they call it Bella Notte

Look at the skies

They have stars in their eyes

On this lovely Bella Notte

"I love this song!" Amanda said, looking up at Finn to see him smiling down at her.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes. This movie is so romantic."

Finn chuckled "Well I will agree with you there. Puppy love."

"Kinda like us right?" Amanda jokingly asked.

"Nah, were more than puppy love" Finn replied seriously.

Dinner was served, spaghetti of course, but did without the meatball scene.

Side by side with your loved one

You'll find enchantment here

After dinner, they decided to take a walk down Main Street before fireworks.

"It's really a magical place," Amanda said, as they slowly made their way to the castle, hand in hand.

"There's nothing like it" Finn agreed.

"I couldn't have asked for a better evening Finn."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it" Finn smiled.

The night will weave its magic spell

When the one you love is near

Oh this is the night

And the heavens are right

"You do realized our second date probably isn't going to top this one right?" Amanda teased.

"Oh I don't know about that," Finn said, grinning like the dork Amanda knew him to be. He leaned in to kiss Amanda to top off their first date, both anxiously awaiting the next one.

On this lovely Bella Notte

I hope you loved it! I like this one a little better than the Enchanted one I wrote about Charlene. COMMENT!
