Saturday finally came. They all take a break on weekends. Remy was very excited today because today is his first date with Git. He was still emotional about the confession. He kept pinching himself so he knew that he was not dreaming. I wonder where he will take me! Remy thought excitedly as he looked at himself in the mirror, checking his teeth, straightening his whiskers, and making sure that he is spotless all over.

"Hey, little chef!" Linguini called, "Going out for today's day off?"

Remy nodded as he smiled delightfully.

"All right, I have somewhere to go too! I have a date with Colette today. So take your time! Enjoy your day off!" Linguini said as he left. Remy waved at him as he got out to the door. Then Remy looked back into the mirror to see if he looked all right. Then he took a deep breath.

"You can do it," Remy said to his own reflection, "it's only a date. My first date. What could possibly go wrong? Don't be nervous. Everything will be all right. Things would go smoothly." Then Remy looked at the clock. He put his ring on, and hurriedly exited the apartment as they were supposed to meet at three o'clock and it was already ten minutes before three.

Git was already standing outside of the rats' colonies. Then he saw Remy running towards his way. He waved as Remy ran to his direction.

"Hey!" Remy called, "Am I late?"

"Nah," Git replied, "I just came out,"

"Well, that's good!" Remy exclaimed with relief, "So, where are we going to go today?"

"To the Eiffel Tower," Git replied with a warm smirk.

"No way," Remy said surprisingly, "Are you serious? Are we really going to go there?"

"Yeah, why not?" Git said, "You always said you wanted to go there. That is your dream place! Come on now, Eiffel Tower won't wait for us. I know a shortcut."

Git and Remy held hands as they walked together through the under the grate. It was dark under the grate, but there was nothing else Remy could complain about. The grate is usually wet and dirty, but this grate he and Git were walking through was much cleaner and fresher than and other grates he went to hide under from humans. Plus, the best part was that he was walking with Git as they were holding hands.

His hands are much warmer and softer than I thought it would be. Remy thought.

"Be careful," Git said, "Stay closer to me, Remy, it is pretty dark down here,"

Seriously, Remy thought as he admired Git's manners, Despite his intimidating appearance he still has his smooth side.

"Well, we're here," Git said as he helped Remy climb out from the grate. Remy's eyes and mouth opened wide in amazement.

"Oh my," Remy remarked amazedly, "It looks so much taller from here!" Remy couldn't stop smiling as he gazed up at the Eiffel Tower. Git was very proud of himself as he saw Remy happy. After they got closer to the Eiffel Tower, Remy wanted to climb up, Git agreed. They both climbed up and decided to stop at the first floor. Even though they were not on top of the tower, they could see Paris better than seeing it from the roof of the apartment.

"Wow," Remy said, "it is sure clearer up here."

"Yeah," GIt said in agreement, "I can see the whole city up here."

As they both sat down, Git moved closer to Remy and put his arm around Remy's waist. Remy smiled and leaned his head on Git's shoulder. They sat silently as they enjoyed the breeze, which felt much cooler than the bottom of the tower.

"I have to say," Git started as he looked at the horizon, "I was surprised that you actually liked me that way. After the time I intimidated you to bring food for us, I thought you'd never even try to get close to me."

"Don't worry too much about what you did to me in the past," Remy said with a very forgiving tone, "live the present. If you focus on what you left behind, you'll never be able to see what lies ahead."

Git chuckled at the statement with relief. They sat there as they enjoyed the view, and talked about the rat colony and the bistro. Of course, there are many silly things going on in the colony, especially if Emile is involved with it, and humans still love Remy's old and new dishes. After they felt that they sat down enough, they decided to climb down.

"Careful now, Remy. I don't want you to slip and fall."

"Don't worry. I do this kind of stuff all the time." Remy and Git cautiously climbed down. But the Remy slipped. He was still hanging on to the bar.

Git picked him up. "I told you to be careful."

"Sorry," Remy squeaked. Git smiled and picked him up and went to the bar that was connected to the ground and slid down. He slipped down really fast that he reached the bottom in no time.

"That was so awesome!" Remy exclaimed with delight as he got off the metal bar.

"I'm glad you liked it. But don't you scare me like that again." Git replied softly. Then suddenly, they both heard sudden, unpleasant scream: "RAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!"

Git quickly grabbed Remy's hand and ran away from the crowd. People were trying to attack both Git and Remy but none of them were able to hit neither of them thanks to their agility. But they needed escape as fast as possible so they don't get hit.

"To the grate over there!" Remy shouted as he pointed to the grate. Git quickly changed direction and quickly ran towards the grate, not letting go of Remy's hands. As they both got into the grate, they sat and breathed heavily trying to calm down and collect more air into their lungs.

"Are you okay?" Git asked, still a little excited.

"Yea, I'm fine," Remy replied, still breathing heavily..When they calmed down, they both looked at each other for a moment, and laughed hysterically.

"Wow," Git said as he laughed, "That was pretty fun, wasn't it?"

"Oh, yes," Remy replied as he laughed along with him, "It was definitely fun!"

"Why don't we ride on a boat?" Git suggested, "You know, so we can relax as we watch the beautiful view,"

"That sounds wonderful," Remy said with a bright smile, "Let's do that!"

By the time they got on the boat, the sun was already setting. They sat on the middle of the roof of the boat so that humans on the other boats won't be able to see them. The boat calmly swam across the river. Remy couldn't stop gazing at the Eiffel Tower as it lit up for the better view in the sunset. Then suddenly, his stomach growled. Remy put his hand over his stomach and looked away in embarrassment.

"You must be hungry," Git said.

"No No No, I'm fine," Remy said hesitantly, "Don't worry about me," but as soon as he finished his words, his stomach growled again.

"I'll go find something to eat," Git said as he walked towards the edge to climb down, "Don't worry about me, wait there,"

"Good luck," Remy said as Git climbed down. I hope he's safe and sound. Remy waited. As the time passed, his stomach started to feel nervous rather than hungry. Several minutes later, Git climbed up with a sack with pieces of bread, pieces of cheese, and grapes. Remy sighed with relief.

"What's the matter?" Git said as he dropped the sack in front of him.

"Nothing. Just relieved that you're back."

By that time, it was night and every place in Paris glowed. Git and Remy ate as they gazed upon the lights from the buildings and the stars. "Mmm, the food is not fancy, but at least the view is."

"Mmhmm," Remy nodded as he chewed on grapes. When they were done eating, Git had his arms around Remy and Remy's head was leaning on Git's shoulder.

"It's all so magical," Remy said as he let out the sigh of relief as they viewed the bright street of Paris, stars, and the Eiffel Tower.

"Yeah," Git said as he completely agreed with Remy, "Say, Remy," Git said as they both started to look at each other, "when did you start to have feelings for me?"

"When you saved me from that chaos," Remy answered with much delight, "And when you carried me, it felt so nice. What about you?"

"Few weeks after you became a chef in your bistro," Git replied, "it was the time when I visited the bistro and you served me a piece of cake with a brightest smile on your face."

"Mmm," Remy nodded. They looked at each other for quite some time. Then Remy noticed Git's facial expression changed a little bit as he turned away. Is something wrong with him? Remy thought concerningly. He hoped that everything was okay. Git turned to look at him a few moments later.

"Follow my lead," Git said modestly as he closed his eyes and moved his lips to touch Remy's.

Wai- o-oh... this feels nice. Remy thought as their lips connected. Then Remy mellowly closed his eyes. Remy slowly put his arms around Git as Git gently caressed the back of Remy's head. Git and Remy hugged a little tighter as the kiss lasted longer. Several minutes passed, but to Git and Remy, it only felt like few second. Besides all the lights in Paris, there seemed to be a special bright glow around Git and Remy. After several more minutes have passed, Remy carefully withdrew his lips from Git's but still kept his arm around him. Then he bashfully placed his side of his head on Git's chest. Git continued to caress Remy's head as he relaxed in his chest. They both quietly took a deep breath in comfort.

After their romantic date was called to an end it seemed to be around ten o'clock. So Git walked Remy back to the apartment.

"Thank you for tonight," Remy said, "It should be an unforgettable journey,"

"Anytime when you get a day off," Git said warmly, "Good night,"

"Good night," Remy replied with a soothing voice.

********

When Git returned to the colony, Django walked up to him and said, "Hey, Git, I need to talk to you." Git became anxious. Does he know about me and Remy? He thought as he gulped. Django came back with a piece of fresh cheddar cheese, Git's favorite. There was not a lot of time when the rat colony got this kinds of special treat. Django handed the cheese and said, "Consider it a paycheck, for being a bodyguard for Remy".

"Thank you," Git said with a relief, "but I'll only accept your gratitude, sir." He returned the fresh piece of cheddar cheese and went into his room.  

Meanwhile, Remy walked into the apartment and Linguini greeted him warmly.

"Hey little chef," he said with a gentle smile, "Had a nice day?"

Remy nodded with delight, took a nice, warm shower in a kitchen sink, and headed to the windowsill.

Wow, what a miraculous day. Remy and Git thought as they sighed deeply with delight. Though they were at different places, they both thought the same thing, at the same time, and looking at the same place: the Eiffel Tower. Surely, today was one of their brightest day ever. Then they both fell into asleep with bright smile on the faces.

A/N: Have you ever been to Eiffel Tower? I haven't... But it would be very nice to visit there!
