"I hate you guys"
>You are Anonymous
>After a few days coming to the local frozen yogurt place, your friends started to tease you about the girl at the counter
>Giving you looks, salivating a bit more, breathing more agitated, giving you extra toppings
>Anyway, during one of your shenanigans, you bet a date with her
>Long story short, you lost, so you must take her out
>You see your "friends" across the road, laughing like little girls doing something naughty. Fucking faggots
>You open the door, and go straight to the counter
>There she is, already shaking around your presence
>"H..h..hi, we-welcome to th-the-"
"Hi, can I get a small cup please?"
>"S-sure!"
>She gives you one small cup and you pay for it
>You serve yourself vanilla, strawberry and chocolate yogurt with sprinkles. Very simple
>You see outside: your friends are pointing at her
"Goddammit"
>You go back to the counter
>"N-n-need any-"
"Look, I have to make this quick, so.... want to have a date?"
>Like if her brain just turned off, she stares blankly at you
"Huh? Are yo-?"
>"YESYESYESYESYESYES!!! I WANT A DATE!"
>The entire place is looking at both of you
"Woah, woah! Calm down! I just asked for a date, and I'm glad you accepted"
>She is jumping in blisfull cherishness
"Uh... yeah, This Sunday at the entrance of the Water Strider Port at noon. I'll see you there"
>You give her your yogurt
"Here, this is for you"
>You wave her good bye, leave the store, and walk up to the corner to find your buddies laughing
>"Ahahaha! Oh my God, you poor bastard, you really did"
>"I can't believe it! Even give her a gift and everything!"
>"What a gentleman, maybe she will kiss you. Hope you like the taste of dental steel, hahaha!"
"Fuck you guys, and you all own me a frozen yogurt motherfuckers"

>The week passes quickly, and you managed to get a few savings gathered for the "big day"
>Around noon, you are in front of the big arch in the Water Stride Port
>You dress casually: black shirt, gray jeans, brown shoes. Nothing that rises attention
>You see from afar your buddies, laughing already
>The last thing left is the yogurt girl coming to talk to you
>"U-u-u-um.. e-e-excushe me?"
>Speaking of the Devil, you recognize that voice
>You turn around
"Hey, glad you made.... it..."
>Who the fuck is this girl? Is she the yogurt gal?!
>I mean, she is green, and her hair is still made up with a couple of twin tails, but where is her steel thing? And where was she hiding THOSE?!
>She is wearing white and blue sneakers with long white socks, blue denim shorts, and a yellow top that really shows off her (already big) chest
>"Oh! Ish you! Good to shee you!"
>Well, the lisp is there. She is the yogurt girl
"... Likewise"
>You check your pals for a bit: they are as shocked as you, jaws almost touching the floor
"Umm... yeah! Good you came! Want to go in?"
>You strecth your hand, and she shyly takes it. It feels really wet
>Well, at least she is as thirsty as always
>Both walk into the dock
"Hey, by the way, I am Anonymous"
>"Oh! My name ish Shtella. Shtella Shprinkles"
"Good to finally know you then Stella"
>She is having the biggest smile right now. Adorable, even with her braces on

>You two walk around, seeing the stands and places
>Many couples and families are hanging out. A nice place to relax
>Good restaurants, good places, and the beach is close
"Say, have anything in mind? Want to go somewhere?"
>"I go where you go"
>She hugs and clinges on your arm. Some passer-bys daww at you two
>Alright, too much sugar
"I think there is an arcade close. Do you like games?"
>"Yes! I like Hybrid Haven, Pershona 1 and 2, Tactics of Ogre"
>You look at her a bit incredulous. Those are some obscure games
"I never expected you to be a gamer girl"
>"I like turn-bashed more!"
"I see"
>You two get into the small arcade. Lots of old games piled up
>You pay for a few chips, and go to one cabinet: Out Run
"Ever played this?"
>"A *whistle*fiw*whistle* times in MAME"
"Good, you know what to do then"
>The game starts, and you two have a good time playing. She took some extra coins, a joypad is really different from a cabinet stick
>A few points later, both leave the game
"Like it?"
>"I really had fun!"
"Good"
>You see around the games, and find something good
"Do you like Star Wars?"
>"Do I? I love it!"
"Then let me show you something cool about the prequels"
>You take her to the OG pod racing game. Her eyes light up
"Go ahead "Anakin", we have a bet to win"
>She jumps into the pod, and you let her have fun. She got the hand of it really quickly and won a few laps
>She comes out happy from it
"The Force is really strong in you, padawan"
>"Ihihihihi!"
>A bit screechy, but is a nice laugh
>Maybe this date ain't bad after all

>You two leave the arcade, and find a small claw game
>"Oh! I love these!"
>She quickly goes to the machine, and pays for one try, but she doesn't have luck
>"Aww"
"Wait, let me try"
>You pay for one try, and do the "small" trick your dad taught you
>When you find a toy, you wave the stick so the claw gets into a pendulum motion
>You quickly press the button, and the balancing claw catches a small tiger pushie
>You retrieve the plushie, and give it to her
"There you go"
>"Thanks Anonymoush, that was cool!"
"Nah, it was a small trick my dad taught me"
>She hugs you
>"Thanks"
>You pat her head
"Yeah, yeah, no biggie, is only a toy"
>"A toy you gave me"
>You smile
"Alright, let's go get something to eat, I would like to know you better"
>Her eyes light up
>"Y-y-y-you want to know m-m-m-m-me?!"
>Dude, is so easy with her. Maybe you are her first date. And the guy who has a crush on, no less
"Sure, that's why we are having a date after all. Come on"
>You take her to a small restaurant. Lots of fish dishes are on the menu
"I'll go with the fish and chips, what about you?"
>"The Japaneshe menu shounds good"
"Alright then"
>You call the waiter, and place your order
>With some time free, you take the chance to talk to her
>But why do you feel... threatened?

"So, how long were you working on that yogurt store?"
>"A couple of years during the summer. My dad is friendsh with the owner and I liked the yogurt from that place, so one summer I got hired"
"Sounds fun, and I bet working in that place leaves you with all the frozen yogurt you can eat"
>"At least a nice dishcount and free toppings. In fact, I wanted to give you this"
>A coupon for a free topping. How nice
"What about you? Which highschool are you going?"
"I just graduated last summer, but I have been working during the year. I'm going to enroll after this summer"
>"Ohh! College sounds fun"
"How long before you graduate?"
>"Just a few months and I'll be enrolling in Starswhirl's Academy"
"Good choice, I was actually thinking going to Everton, but Starswhirl sounds good too"
>"M-maybe we can be College roommates"
>She is relaxing now. Good
"Yeah, that would be fun"
>The waiter arrives with your meal. The fish and chips came with mayo and ketchup, and Stella had lots of sushi cubes. Squid, mackarel, tuna, and 3 cali rolls
>Both of you eat, give a bit of what are each other having. You really are having fun
>While eating, a fry falls on your shirt, leaving a stain
>"Oh anon, your shirt"
"Is fine, I can clean it"
>Both of you go for a napkin and touch hands
>Both look at each other
>"Anon, I'm-"
"No"
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yUzG7IzpiM [GTA SA - Successful date]
>You grab her hand
"Is fine"
>Sharing a silent moment, both smile, gladly to be in each other's company
>*SPLASH!*

>A water balloon hits you from the back. At least Stella is dry
"Woah! What was that for?!"
>"Sorry dude! Just having fun!"
>The bunch of "buddies" runs away. Stella didn't recognized them, but you did
>"Anon, are you ok?"
"Yeah, is just water. I'll go dry myself, excuse me"
>You leave the table and find a restroom
>As expected, those assholes are there laughing
>"She really gets you wet buddy"
"Fuck you dirtbag"
>"Oh, manners Anonymous, you are on a date"
"Yes, a date you guys wanted me to be, so why are you kicking my ass now?"
>"Well, we are bored"
>"We expected you to be ashamed and sad"
>"Yet you are having a nice date with a pretty girl"
"Is called karma, something you would have if you weren't total idiots"
>"Yeah, anyway. Since we are bored, maybe we can hang around with you two"
"I'm really sure she isn't up for a fivesome"
>"Really? All you do is think with your dick anon"
"Happens when you are surrounded by them"
>"Whatever, expect us fucking with you. See you around"
>Your friends leave the restroom laughing. They may like to tease you, but they can get really heavy
"... Assholes"
>You dry up your shirt and body, and leave the restroom
>You go back with Stella. Thankfully, they didn't do anything to her
>"Are you alright anon?"
"Yup! All dried up. Do you like your food?"
>"Yes, is fine"
>Way to cool down your date. Literally, the water inside the balloon was really cold
>You join her again, and both finish the meal with small talk
>You pay the bill, and leave the restaurant

>The afternoon settles in, and there's a lot of time to keep going
>You take Stella to the shopping area, seeing the marine antiques, miscellaneous memorabilias, and funny singing fishing throphies
>While seeing around, you are checking your surroundings. Your buddies may try to stomp on your balls
>And like fucking clockwork, you find them
>They are playing with a beach ball
>You don't lose them. They may try something "funny"
>"Do you like thish anon?"
"Uh?"
>Back to your date, you see Stella holding something: a crystal goose
"Oh, that is nice. Pretty"
>Stella giggles
"You know, I think I can buy it. Want another present?"
>"Really?! Thanks anon!"
"Is a date after all. Let's burn some money"
>You buy her the crystal goose, but like a bad omen coming, you turn quickly to see behind you
"Beach ball!"
>The ball hits the stands, making a lot of glass figurines fall to the floor
>The shattering sounds invaded the small store, as the owner curses his soul out
>You manage to sneak Stella out
>"Oh Gosh, that wash horrible"
"Tell me about it. Where did that ball come from?"
>You pretend not knowing, but you are pretty sure "they" did it
>Why? You aren't seeing them around anymore
"Let's get out of here. Maybe we can have fun somewhere else"
>You see the plaza around, and find a karaoke bar
"Hey, how about karaoke? Do you like singing?"
>"I-I... maybe? I'm a bit nervous in public"
"Don't worry, I'll cheer you on"
>You two go to the karaoke

>Inside is really pretty: a small stage, a couple of tables laying around, and a karaoke machine filled with songs. Also, there is a juice bar
"I'll go first, don't worry"
>You go and pay for a couple of songs, and read the catalog
>After a while searching, you find a good one
>You take the mic
"Alright people, this one is dedicated to my date sitting on that table over there"
>People cheers and hypes Stella. She only waves her hand, trying to hide
"Ok, this one is for you baby"
>You let the track play
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yetBsgViVvM [Mr Big - Shine]
>As the song plays out, you try to follow the rhythm and lyrics on the screen
>You had a few misses, but overall, you managed to ride it out
>The crowd claps and cheers, as you go sit next to Stella
"See? I told you it would be fun. When you are ready, you can go up"
>Some song passes until she has enough confidence
>She goes to the stage, and picks a song
>"H-hi! M-my boyfriend anon just shang to me and I want to do the same"
>Boyfriend huh? That was fast. Still, is nice
>She looks at the list and picks one
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6AZdTr-A [Cindy Lauper - Girls just want to have fun]
>She follows the rhythm and tune, sometimes coming too early or screeching a bit. Still, people liked it, and everyone is happy
>She comes down the stage panting
>"Oh heavenz, I can't believe I just did that"
"You have a pretty voice"
>She blushes
"C'mon, let me buy you a drink"
>You two go to the juice bar and order some refreshments. Then, another guy comes up the stage
>Sadly, you recognize him
>"Hey guys, I got a song for all the couples, but mainly for the dudes. Here it goes"
>Oh crap, he is going to sing "that" song
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn7oEYe4ePc [Tenacious D - Fuck her gently]
>Everyone shares uncomfortable laughs. You know the song is good to start a karaoke, but only on Saturday nights after a few boozes inside your system, not in a wholesome family Sunday
>The song didn't end, the owner kicked your buddy out
>The mood was cut, so you took Stella out

>After that spectacle, Stella and you are a bit down
>Your friends kicking your ass are actually starting to get between you and your (actually nice) girl
>And probably are ready to start the next prank
>The dock isn't a good place to hang around
>You check your watch. Is quite late, and the Sun is about to come down
>Wait, that gives you an idea
>You take Stella to an ice cream stand and order two cones. After that, you take her to a secluded area in the beach to watch the Sunset
>Now, in peace and solitude, both are just enjoying each other's company
>"Thanks for taking me on a date anon"
"Don't mention it"
>"I mean it. I know I am not a looker, and I always have to ushe the steel braces so my teeft gets straight up faster. I know I am not a pretty girl"
"You are a fun one. Besides, people loves you for who you are, not for who you are pretending to be"
>"Well, thanks for loving me"
"Thanks for giving me the chance"
>Both of you huddle closer together, and enjoy the sunset
>Nothing but the sounds of seagulls, the waves crashing on the coast, and the lovely wind
>Oh, and a few steps, but that's not-
>Wait... crap
>*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* "Wow anon, you truly are a keeper. What better end for a date that a sunset on the beach"
"Leave us dude, is not the time"
>Stella turns around, and see one of your buddies
>"Huh, who are you?"
>"Just one of anon's friends. Well Anonymous, I was passing by, but I wanted to give you this"
>He handles you a small pack of money
"Huh? Why are you giving me this?"
>"Is the least I could do. Enough to buy a frozen yogurt for both of you"
"Uhh, thanks I guess"
>"No, thank you. After all, you were the one who won the bet"
>"Wait, what beth?"
>Oh fuck!
"Nothing! He may be confounding things"
>"Oh, he didn't told you? We bet that he would endurance a date with you. And both really endured, congratulations"
>He shows a video stream of you and Stella suffering the pranks your friends did

>"Hold on, so this is just a prank?"
>She didn't took it well
"No! It isn't like that!"
>She is really upset now
>"Now I get it. That's why you are with me today. Damn, I'm so dumb..."
"Wait, let me explain-"
>"Leave me alone!"
>She throws the crystal goose and the tiger toy at you, and runs away crying
>You tried to follow her, but your "friend" held you back
"Hey! What the Hell? Let me go!"
>"Woah, calm down anon. This was just a bet, remember?"
>You shake him off
"It wasn't for her! It was important"
>"Says the guy who was annoyed his yogurt came up with saliva"
"I know I had my complaints, but now I know her. Besides, I bet she probably would have stop doing that if I just told her"
>"Whatever, let her go dude. Besides, I wasn't lying about the bets"
>He shows you his phone again. Turns out they got a pretty penny giving you shit during the day and uploading it online for "how much do you think he will last?" stream
"... At least can I get a share? I have to make it up to her"
>"Problems won't be solve by money, and you can't buy a woman's heart. Besides, I already gave you what we owned you: one frozen yogurt. We are set"
"We aren't"
>You punch the asshole right in the face
"That was for Stella"
>"Oof! Alright, whatever! I had my fun"
>You turn around and leave him alone on the beach
>While walking, you find the tiger toy and the crystal goose broken
>You pick them up, go to the bus stop, and go back home

>A few days passed, and you are a bit worried
>The thing is, well, you don't Stella's number, and she hasn't been working on the store for quite a while
>You really feel bad. You know she wasn't Miss Universe, but she didn't deserved to have her heart crushed
>One more day passes, and she didn't returned to the store. You had enough
>You go inside, and find another person attending the counter
>"Hello sir, welcome. Anything I can help with?"
"Hum, yeah. You see, I knew the girl who worked here before, but I haven't see her"
>"Oh, that poor girl. She had a really bad date, really bad. She just called the boss and quit. We don't know what happened to her after it"
"I see... Say, can I speak with the manager?"
>"Something wrong?"
"You could say that, but I need help right now"
>The clerk calls the manager, and both of you speak in private. You told him the story, and he got really pissed, but he understood why are you trying to set things straight
>You thank him for the information, and bought a pistachio, chocolate, and wild berry yogurt. She likes those flavors
>Also, free topping. Thanks coupon
>You go to her school, and you find her sitting in the library. She is her old self now, steel halo included
"Um, excuse me?"
>She turns to see you, and the moment she recognizes you, she takes her stuff and walks away
"Hey! Wait a minute, please!"
>"We don't have nothing to talk about!"
"We really do. Look, I was a jackass, but please let me explain it"
>"No!"
"C'mon, let me try. Look, I got you a yogurt"
>She picks it up, and smashs it on your face
"Alright I deserved that, but let me tell you what happened!"
>"Leave me alone!"
>She leaves the library and you follow her
"Hold on Stella, at least let me put things right!"
>"Nothing ish right!"
>She stands in front of you, tearing up

>"You... I... For the firsht time, I felt somebody really cared for me, that somebody found me pretty, and when it was YOU who asked me out, I felt so happy. But to find out it was only a dumb bet, I felt so stupid. Do you have any idea how it feels to be shtupid"
>You lower your head
"To be honest, I do"
>She is looking at you very angry
"Those guys and I are friends from old, they can be really stupid if they get a few cheap laughts if one is bringing the amusement. The real bet was that I'd go out with you because... well, I actually felt repelled by how you got agitated and how you always salivated on top of my yogurt"
>"It wasn't me! Is this dumb thing I have to use on my head"
>Fuck, touched a nerve there
"Sorry. When they knew I felt a bit... uncomfortable, we got a bet where the loser would have to do whatever the other wanted, and they wanted me to have a date with you"
>She is truly heartbroken now
>"S-so all I was is just a joke?"
"Not to me"
>Looks like that managed to get through
"When we had that date, I finally got to meet you. The real you. And I discovered I was an asshole. You know, I actually got braces when I was a kid. That shit is annoying on your teeth, the steel gets caught around your lip, so you end up cutting your mouth inside, and let's not get started when food gets stuck between your teeth and that crappy steel line that breaks at the most simple contant, meaning another trip to the dentist and another retarded bill"
>She is calming down
"I misjudged you because when I got rid of those braces, I didn't wanted to have nothing with them. I should have been more understanding. Braces are bullshit, especially after the fact that you have to use another plastic holder every night so all that suffering doesn't go to waste"
>"Anon, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes I do, that's why I wanted to apologize and, if you could, give me another chance. Let's have a date, a real one. You can keep the halo on, I won't mind"

>She is tearing up, but this time from happiness
>"I... I..."
"Don't worry, I understand. Look, here is my phone. Call me when everything is more calm, alright?"
>You give her a small paper with your cellphone
>"Ok... thanks for telling me the truth Anonymous"
"It was the least I could do. Thanks for giving me a chance"
>You hug her, and wave her goodbye, happy that everything worked out in the end
----
>A few blocks away, you clean up the yogurt out your face and grab your phone
"See people? When you bother to put things straight, everything works out in the end. Be honest with your girls, take care after yourselves, and remember: Is not how filled with metal her mouth is, is how wide is her smile"
>You cut the livestream, seeing lots of people showing it's support
>In fact, it defeated the one where you got ridiculized in the docks
>You call your "friend"
"Did you saw that?"
>"..."
"I guess you did"
>"... What do you want?"
"The girl who always looks at you at the public library, the one with the sweater"
>"Fuck you"
"Maybe you will learn if you go through the same experience I did"
>"And you will join the fun, huh?"
"Me? Nah, I may have a date, but I'll be sure to send the guys my message. Have fun with yours"
>"Go to Hell"
"You first"
>You hang up
