A.J. was......actually nervous for once in his life. And he felt pathetic amoung other things. Was this what he finally sank to? Having someone else set him up on a BLIND date? It was bad enough, the term itself, BLIND, as if the other person had to be in order for them to go out with him. Maybe if they saw him ahead of time they'd run in the other direction. (Which they pretty much did now anyways. ) He was struggling to come to terms with it. The feeling was killing him inside. What if she was hideous? What if she thought HE was hideous? Agh, he hated dates, so much pressure only to be let down in the end. He ran his hands through his hair, trying to smooth it into a normal shape. "Stupid..." He muttered, "This was so dumb....I don't even know why..." He caught sight of his reflection in the mirror. Fairly typical looking, yellow skin, blueish gray eyes that looked so....what was it, empty? He looked so tired too.....
He fussed with his hair before emitting a long sigh. This was as good as it was ever gonna get. He reached for his baseball cap and pulled it over his head. It belonged there- and was the only thing that could cover up his now permanent hat-hair. He clicked the light off from his bathroom and trudged out of it as if he were going off to the gallows. "How do I look?" He mumbled, averting his eyes.
Steve the Shyguy, hopped off the couch to examine him, rubbing a nub across his mask. "Not too shabby. Better than nothing I suppose. Oho! Don't be nervous- just be yourself."
A.J. groaned, "That's what I'm nervous about."

"Why am I doing this? WHY am I doing this?" Julie muttered to herself as she tried to find her 'date'... she never even signed up for it, she'd convinced herself that she'd never be that desperate. However, something told her it was Burton, being the only one who could forge her signature... "He's gonna be eating dirt tonight."
She already had a bad impression of her date for the fact alone that she had to find HIM, not the other way round? Some man he was, never mind that it was almost suicidal to try to go to her home... would have saved her some time. Unlike A.J. she was unconcerned with her appearence, as she saw it, she was always beautiful all the time. *sigh* Come to think of it, where did the chump live anyway?

Steve placed each nub on A.J.'s shoulders, gazing up at him, although A.J. had nothing to look at except those creepy face holes. "Oho, listen to me. There are times you're very mopey-" A.J. started to protest when he was cut off. "No, no, hear me out. You're a mopey, stale teenager with a serious attitude problems." A.J. continued to glare, "Is this supposed to make me feel better?" "Yes, is it?" Steve questioned. "NO. It's making me feel AWFUL!" "Well good- now anything that comes your way will ultimately be a step up. I'm so good at this, oho." He removed his nubs from A.J., allowing the koopa to pace back and forth nervously.

Julie couldn't help but hear something... couldn't make out what it was and couldn't care less... but maybe they'd... something... She slowly made her way to the door and pounded on it twice.

A.J. immediately froze up as their door was rapped on. He looked to Steve helplessly, only to realize who it was he was looking to for comfort and slowly walked up to his door, gulping. Steve waved his nubs in a 'go on' fashion, motioning for him to open the door. A.J. gripped the handle and pulled it open, trying not to look like a nervous kid, knowing he was failing miserably. Nothing could've prepared him for what he saw though- his date? This had to have been...........He continued to stare at her, taken aback.

Julie stared down at A.J.... why was this guy so nerveous anyway? Did he not have any dignity? And what's with the staring? This creep was really giving her the chills.
"Excuse me." She employed a fake English accent and attempted to sound calm "I'm currently looking for someone, probably male... and desperate. And you're gonna have to tell me where I can find him, got it?"

"Er---uh," It took a few moments for A.J. to recollect his thoughts as he swallowed dryly, trying to look as neutral as possible. "That'd....be....." Steve hopped off the couch, "Oho, that would be him!" He gave a sharp hit to A.J.'s back with his nub. "This is your pathetic male date."

((About A.J.'s loss for words, is it in a good sense or bad?))
Julie scoffed "Well, I'm already dissapointed." Her tail swished around for a bit "Have to say though, you got a cute pet." She pointed to Steve with a thumb. She already decided that this was going to be a waste of a night...

(I think it's his nervousness kicking in- he ALWAYS says the wrong thing to women. XD )
A.J.'s shoulders slumped. Great, not even 5 seconds into it and she was already unimpressed. Steve clapped his nubs together, bowing. "Oho, Steve thanks you for your flattery- but this fine lad here is excited to take you out, I assure you." A.J. looked over at him, mouth dropping a little. Putting words into his mouth now? How was this helping?!

Julie folded her arms "Excited huh?" She murmured. It looked more like he was having an anxiety attack, ugh, how annoying! "Whatever. If he's as keen as you say, I guess I'll give him a chance. But first-" She backhanded A.J.'s face "Will you friggin' man up already! I won't have some droopy shouldered wuss embarrassing me!"

That was the last thing he expected- well not really, he'd been struck by women before but that was usually towards the END of the date, theirs hadn't even started yet! He rubbed his cheek, glaring at her, "What the hell!" He was about to retort with something and Steve abruptly cut in, shoving A.J. out the door into her arms before shutting the door, "OHO- You kids have fun now! Have him back by morning, ciao!~"

Julie just laughed "Now, THAT'S more like it!  " giving A.J. a light thump "Maybe I should slap you around more often!" Maybe this can be fun after all... ((Considering a few new chraracter details. Wanna help?)) |

A.J. rubbed at his face and continued to glare sourly. "Oh yes, PLEASE do- because that's the first thing you do when meeting someone." He replied sarcastically- there went all his chances again, right out the window. (Sure! ) |

"Well, whatever." Julie retorted "Don't think for a minute that I wanted to do this, so I haven't really got anything to lose." That is of course, unless the date was *choke* successful!
((Well I was rethinking a few of my existing OCs, especially Caine since 'borderline mute' wasn't really much to work with. I thought it'd be cool if say, when someone tries to be casual and friendly he's really stoic and doesn't talk back and stuff, but when adressed angrily or seriously it amuses him... sound any good?))

"If you didn't want to do this, why the hell did you sign up?" A.J. scoffed at her. This certainly wasn't going very well already- and they hadn't even walked off his porch yet.
(I like that actually. XD Reminds me of Cloud a lil' bit from FF7.)
