One Friday evening Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, Tech, Trix and Cobalt were sitting in the living room playing a round of poker.
"I win, read e'm and weep." Crosshair smirked.
The others all grumbled but handed over their credits.

"So, you guys got any plans for the weekend?" Trix asked.
"Martha and I are taking the kids to the aquarium tomorrow." Cobalt said.
"James and I are going for a hike tomorrow and Katie, Sarah and Cynthia are going to the beauty parlor." Wrecker said.
"Got a date with Riyo tomorrow night." Trix said.

"I don't have any plans." Tech said.
"Actually Tech, you might." Cobalt said.
"What do you mean?" Tech asked confused.
"Well an old friend of mine from high school is in town, her name is Phee." Cobalt said.

"You talked to girls in high school?" Tech smirked.
"ooooh." the others all exclaimed at once.
"Oh no he didn't."Wrecker said smirking.
Cobalt scoffed.
"As a matter of fact I did." Cobalt said massaging his wounded pride.
"So what does this have to do with me?" Tech asked confused.
"Well we got to talking and I may have set you up on a date with her tomorrow night." Cobalt said.

"You what!" Tech hissed, Crosshair grabbing his arm to hold him down.
"Just hear me out okay, when we were talking yesterday I brought up all of you, when I talked about you she said to me "I'd certainly like to meet him" and so, I may have arranged for you to meet her tomorrow night." Cobalt said.

"Why would you do that?" Tech asked.
"I'm just saying it wouldn't kill you to get out a bit more, Phee's a lovely woman, worst case is she doesn't show up." Cobalt said.
Tech sighed audibly.
"Fine, I'll meet her, but if this doesn't go well I promise you Cobalt I will never let you hear the end of it." Tech said.
"I can live with that." Cobalt nodded.

The next evening:

After a nice shower Tech dressed himself for the date and despite his nerves Tech had to admit he was curious about this woman Cobalt had told him about.
Cobalt had told him the restaurant he was to meet Phee at and to his credit it was a very nice one.

After getting ready Tech headed to the front door and opened the door only for a very bright light to hit him square in the eyes.
After his eyes adjusted he was greeted by the horrific sight of his entire family standing on the front lawn, Crosshair holding a camera in his hands.

"What's this about?" Tech asked extremely confused.
"Oh just documenting this very rare occasion, our little Tech is going on his first date." Crosshair said with a massive smirk as he took another picture.
"So you invited the entire family?" Tech asked.
"Well duh." Crosshair said.
Tech just scoffed and walked down the street on his way to the restaurant Cobalt had mentioned.

When he arrived he sat down at the table that Cobalt had reserved for them, Phee hadn't arrived yet so he decided to study the menu.
"Hello, is your name Tech?" A voice asked.
Tech looked up and was slightly startled.

A young woman was smiling brightly at him, Tech was embarrassed to admit he could feel himself blushing profusely, his face heating up.
"I-Uh yes, Phee may I presume?" Tech said adjusting his glasses.
"Yep, nice to meet you." Phee said smiling warmly at him as she sat down.

The two ordered food and throughout the course of the date Tech had to admit he rather enjoyed Phee's company and he couldn't help but hope she felt the same way.
After an admittedly pleasant dinner the two talked for a while before deciding to call it an evening.

Tech walked Phee to her car which was parked just down the road.
"So Tech, if I may ask, there's a showing of pirates of the carribean at the movies next week, fancy coming along?" Phee asked.
Tech adjusted his glasses nervously as he thought for a moment before nodding.
"Yes, that sounds lovely." Tech nodded.

Phee smiled.
"Till next time...brown eyes." Phee said before getting into her car and driving away leaving a blushing Tech to watch her go.
