Rebecca walked down the stairs to the school building, Every muscle in her body ached badly from another day of intense training and her head hurt from what seemed like an eternity of staring at books. Thankfully today was a Friday and they had two days of relaxation ahead of them. She walked down the path towards the dorms when she felt a buzzing in her pocket. "Hmm" She said to herself as she walked reaching into her pocket and grabbing her phone. "oh its mom" She said clicking the talk button "Hey ma hows it going?" She said. A short conversation of the phone pursued involving the usual questions that parents ask while their children are away to school. "So do you think you will be able to come back to town and get those few things done this weekend" Her mother said, to which Rebecca replied "Hmm? What things?". She heard her mother sigh over the phone "Dont tell me you've forgotten already Becca, you need to go see your grandma, buy some new supplies, get things at the house..." She said as the list seemingly went on forever, "Oh and your father would like for you to go with him and myself to that award ceremony" She said. Becca nearly groaned over the phone at the words "award ceremony", those things were always dreadfully boring "Um mom do you mind if I bring a friend from school just to keep me company during said event? you know how dull those things are" Becca said. "Oh fine, we will have a car out there for you tomorrow if your school lets you go, so please let us know before hand" She said hanging up the phone. Becca sighed, now she had to find someone willing to go to New York with her, and file a requisition with Gin for the both of them to leave the campus grounds for a day.

while walking she managed to catch a glimpse of Dante. Score! she thought to herself running over to him. "Oi Dante, Hows it going?" She said eyeing him up and down not so much as to check him out but more as to imagine him in a suit and tie with her at a formal award ceremony. To be honest she almost scoffed at the idea but she could see it all the same, though Archimedes would look much better in a suit. "So um question" She said almost shyly. "Would you like to travel with me down to New York for a day and attend an award ceremony with me?" She said giving him a soft smile and almost pushing out her chest a bit, hoping it would be enough to convince him.

Dante

Dante was snapped out of whatever idle thoughts were on his mind as he heard his name called by a familiar voice. He turned his head to see Revy rapidly approaching him. Her eyes scanned him up and down, and he had to wonder exactly why she was suddenly so intently checking him out. His answer came rather quickly.

"Would you like to travel with me down to New York for a day and attend an award ceremony with me?"

He blinked, watching her as if trying to be sure he heard her correctly. IF he had heard correctly, she had just asked him to go to New York as her +1 to an event. He didn't fail to notice her... additional attempts to persuade him. Frankly, he had nothing else really planned for the weekend, and spending a weekend in New York with her? Even if it was for a stuffy award ceremony, hanging out with her was more fun than staring at the walls of the dorm.

"Sure. I've been hoping to get a look around the city since I've got here" he flashed her a bright smile, managing to play it cool despite the connotations. Thankfully, he still had some dress clothes that fit him. Maybe not the most high end apparel, but it'd be enough to get by.

The Next Day

Becca Walked out of the dorm room dressed in her usually casual summer look, a pair of tights under a skirt with a tee shirt, though she also wore a leather jacket, as there was a bit of a chill in the air, and shed rather be safe than sorry, not wearing any thing in case she got cold. She walked outside the dorm and stretched in the open air. She began searching around for Dante outside the dorm and spotted him. Walking over she gave a friendly wave and a warm smile.

"Hey, how are you this morning?" She asked as she sat down on a bench to wait for the car to arrive. "So for today we are going to do a little bit of shopping as I got to pick up somethings and we can go get some lunch or whatever, then we have to go do a few more things and get you a suit. Then its the award ceremony" she said in one breath, " but we should also have some leisure time before going to my place to meet up with my parents" she said. As she did the car pulled up, a limo at that. Becca kind of blinked at it then her face turned from pleasant to very unpleasant in the matter of seconds "god dammit mom, She always does these kinds of things just to mess with me" She said, "you ready to go?"

Dante

"I'd say pretty good so far, you?" Dante smiled as he greeted her, taking up the spot next to her on the bench. He was dressed casually:shorts, a Guns n' Roses t-shirt, and a zip-up sweater, just in case it got chilly in the city. He'd intended to bring more formal clothes, but she'd told him before not to worry about it, so he'd heeded her request. He hadn't expected her to actually suggest they go shopping for a suit though....

Suddenly, he was feeling a bit more anxious about going to this award ceremony, given it sounded like it was much more high class than he'd initially anticipated. Those feelings were further exacerbated when a freaking LIMO showed up to pick them up. Not to mention meeting her parents... That's another detail he hadn't considered before. This was starting to sound more and more like a serious d....date...

Well, it was too late to chicken out now....

"you ready to go?"

"Ready as I'll ever be" He smiled over at her, managing to keep the sudden anxiety spike off his face and out of his voice as he got up and opened the door for her. If nothing else, he could at least be a gentleman when the situation seemed to call for it. Given how high class this event seemed to be, maybe it was best he work on that sooner rather than later...

The ride in the car was a long one of Rebecca pouting a little at her parents being so extra all of the time. By no means were they overly rich, they were probably around the working class actually but they were both pro heroes so they did get their benefits. It was just Becca's parents liked to show off around her new friends, well her mom did anyways, her dad kind of just went with the flow.

Becca moved in closer to Dante and leaned on him. "Yeah so this event its an award ceremony for heroes who just finished some kind of big joint mission, so it will mostly be older men and women there, these things are usually pretty boring so sorry for dragging you along I just wanted the company" She said. Becca felt pretty comfortable around Dante, she didn't really know him all that well only having known him for about a week but there was something about him that she liked and it made her feel safe, aside from her interest in his powers. They had teamed up for a fight on their first day and she felt they made a good team, maybe that was it, she couldn't say for sure. "mam we will be in times square in about 10 minutes" Said the driver as they passed buildings leading into New York. She glanced over to Dante "I could use a coffee so how about we go grab that first?" She asked.

Dante

Dante felt his face heat up just a little when he felt her lean against him. He listened as she spoke, talking about how this whole gala was probably going to be full of pro heroes much older than the two of them. Part of him was a bit nervous at the prospect, but she had invited him along for company, so that must mean she trusted he'd be able to handle it...

"Coffee sounds good, just don't let me get lost my first time in New York" He smiled over at her. He told it like a joke, but, to be frank, he really was concerned about the possibility of getting lost. There were so many buildings that the sky itself was mostly obscured. He'd have to be sure to stick close to her, or he'd get lost in a New York minute...

As they came to Times Square, Dante could barely take his eyes off everything. Gigantic buildings, massive billboards with moving advertisements, and the people! Just this one street had more people maneuvering around it than his whole hometown had people! "I've never seen so many people in one place before.." Dante murmured, watching as aspiring hip-hop artists tried to push their latest track in front of one store...

So this... was New York City......

Getting out of the car She gave a quick wave to the driver as it took off. "So Coffee It is" She said as she grabbed Dante's hand basically pulling him down the street. She pulled him into a Coffee shop near by. A old lady at the counter looked Becca up and down and gave a smile. "Hello Becca, I thought you went off to school?" She said leaning over the counter giving the girl a hug. "Hi Mrs. Brown, Just home for the day, needed to come back for the ceremony" She said. "Oh look at this, you even brought a strapping young man back with you" She giggled. " Hes a.... Friend from school" Becca replied ordering a coffe for the both of them and sitting down at the table.

She glanced over to Dante and smiled. "I've known Mrs. Brown since I was little apparently dad use to be good friends with her son" She said sipping on her coffee. "So your first time in New York City... Must be exhausting for you" She said with a little giggle to try and break the ice a bit more, but in truth she was just overly nervous, especially with Mrs. Brown's comment earlier and how for most of the day it would basically just be him and her roaming New York for the day. She hadn't intended it, but this was actually looking like a pretty serious date.
