Stefanie waited outside the Lockwood Mansion, she was anxious and maybe a bit sweaty.

It also didn't help that it was a very hot afternoon, it was getting late and the sun was about to set, Stefanie's hair was put in loose curls and she wore a some light blue jeans with a black crop top and some Black and White Nikes.

She waited patiently for her crush to come out of the door. This needed to go well. I mean it had too, she had planned this whole thing out perfectly.

First, get permission from her parents (and 20 bucks) so she could take Saige out to go get some ice cream

2, get the courage to actually ask Saige on a date (didn't even get the courage, until after cheer practice while the soccer team was practice)

3, Convince Charlotte to let her out of practice early (though that failed since the team was already down, one girl, but her best friend Mackenzie, ended up convincing Charlotte herself, and she did, but with the promise of the answer key to the next Chemistry Finals)

4. Get all her homework and chores done, so she could actually go (her father wasn't to worried about her grades, as long as she was passing he didn't care, but her mother wanted to make sure she did more then passed)

She smiled, "It's going to go well." she told herself in her head, like a mini pep talk.

She didn't even noticed The Lockwood Mansion's door open and though she was expecting Saige, it ended up being her father, Mr. Lockwood.

Once he saw, Stefanie standing down form the stairs, he gave her a gentle grin.

"Oh hi Mr. Lockwood !" she told me with a smile, "Hi Stefanie." he said before adding, "Saige, should be coming  out in a couple of minutes, you could come inside to wait if you want to."

"Oh no it's fine, Mr. Lockwood I can just wait out here." as she smiled as he said, "If you're sure." as his hands went to his pockets. "So, ice cream ?"

Stefanie said, "Yeah ! Thought it would be good, since finals are really right around the corner, plus I know Chocolate is her favorite." as Mr. Lockwood gave a tiny laugh, "No need to be flustered, It's just ice cream is romantic you know."

Stefanie stood their froze in the sight of the awkwardness, but it was all interrupted when Saige cut her father off from asking the young Salvatore anymore questions.

"Dad, can you please stop smothering Stef with questions." when she walked outside, Stefanie eyes lit up turning her full attention from her father to her.

Saige's long blonde hair was put into a ponytail, while she wore a white crop top with black cargo pants with grey-navy Yankee's Baseball team, it was the real thing because Mr. Lockwood had took his daughter to a Yankee's game.

"Hi Saige." Stefanie said forming a smile once she saw her, Saige turned her attention from her dad to Stefanie, a soft grin came onto her face.

"Hey Stef." she told her back, Even saying her name made Stefanie, smile.

"Uh, ready to go ?" Stefanie asked as Saige said, "Yeah." as she walked down the steps to stand next to Stefanie. "You to be careful now, ok ?" Mr. Lockwood told the two girls.

"We will dad." Saige said with a tiny eye roll, before gesturing to Stefanie to start walking.

Stefanie nodded, as both girls began to walk down the street together, Mr. Lockwood said more things about being careful and make sure to stay close, but Stefanie couldn't hear anymore once her and Saige passed the corner.

Stefanie brought up small talk with Saige, the two of them talked about school, such as all the tests they had coming up, the amount of school gossip going on, the teachers they hated and the game next Friday.

"I'm telling you, Mr. Jones, has the biggest stick wedged up his behind, it's ridiculous." Saige joked to her, as Stefanie smiled, "He does, but it's only English, it will be over with, soon I swear."

Saige grinned to her as Stefanie asked, "I noticed, you and the team have been working hard for the game." as Saige said, "Working hard is a understatement, some of girls won't talk it as serious, because Buffaloes, but not me."

Stefanie looked as Saige talked she could talk for hours, and Stefanie wouldn't care. "I have to play good, I have to put my best out there."

"I get that Saigey I do, but sometimes you got to understand you win some, you lose some." as Saige let out a little chuckle before adding, "Yeah, but I don't lose Stef." as she lifted up one of her eyebrow's to prove a point.

I mean she had a point, the soccer team was 13-0 and Saige was definitely going to make sure it stayed that way, no matter what girl had to have her soccer cleats in their mouth.

"But, aside from that, I notice you and the cheerleaders, seems like Char not letting you guys off easy." as Stefanie chuckled, "Nope, the Buffaloes trust me can't cheer to save their lives, but Char's determined to make sure, we shine." as Saige said, "It's shine, I'm pretty shine is a understatement, she's gonna make sure you guys beam."

Stefanie laughed at her joke, as Saige titled her head adding, "For the note, you look cute in you're little cheer skirt."

The compliment caused Stefanie to blush and grin at her she tried to say something flirty to follow, "And you look nice in you're little soccer jersey."

She had no idea if Saige felt something from her little flirt attempt but she laughed at her, so Stefanie took the win.

They made it to the ice cream stand ran by Mr. Hughes, a nice sweet old man, who would pass out  his homemade ice cream to all the little kids during the summer time, and even would let the kids try out new creations.

He had been passing out Stef and her friends ice cream since they were old enough to have it. Stefanie thanked Mr. Hughes, who smiled at her, remembering the Salvatore when she was little and use to ride her bike around his stand to make the old man laugh as he would serve adults and kids, Cookies and Cream Ice Cream.

She had gotten Chocolate Ice Cream, one of her second favorite, she was gonna get Strawberry but Mr. Hughes told her, he had ran out earlier that afternoon, and had severed the last strawberries to a blonde haired girl and brunette haired boy.

Stefanie new exactly who he was talking about, "Wyatt and Char." of course, Stefanie guessed it was pay back for skipping practice earlier.

She rolled her eyes in her head but told Mr. Hughes it was ok and to just let her have Chocolate, Saige on the other hand got Vanilla. Saige was going to pay for it herself, but Stefanie quickly stopped her and told her to wait for her as she paid for both of the ice creams.

"I can pay for it myself Stephie." as Stefanie said, "I can do it  Saigey." with a smile.

It was pointless to argue because both girls were equally stubborn, so Saige rolled her eyes and let Stefanie have this win.

Even if the ice cream was only 2.00, Stefanie let Mr. Hughes have the cash, knowing he lived alone and only got his money for the stand and his granddaughter who lived in Austin Texas.

He smiled to Stefanie and thanked her around 10 times, and told her, the next ice cream she wanted was on the house and she smiled to him.

They waved goodbye before walking done the block. Saige licked her ice cream, "That was sweet of you to let him have the extra money." as Stefanie chuckled, "Thanks, but he deserved it, I mean he's 60, plus call it a thanks for all the times he's served us."

"Yep, cheers to that." Saige agreed as both girls clicked the bottom of their cones together before smiling and began to lick their ice creams.

Stefanie walked ahead of Saige, ice cream in hand, she made the Lockwood laugh with joy and glee, dancing as the two sang lyrics from their similar favorite songs.

"God you are no joke Stef !" Saige told her practically dying from laughter as Stefanie joked, "Thank you, Ms. Lockwood." with a grin as she ate her cone wiping her hands off as she chewed.

Saige blushed, she was close to finishing her, but still had a little bit to go, before officially being done, Stefanie turned to look at Saige, before seeing her cone started to drip.

"You're cones dripping." she said as Saige cursed using her napkins to pick up the drips, Stefanie gave quiet chuckles, as she helped Saige clean her hands.

"Got it." she told her as Saige said, "Thanks." smiling at her. Stefanie grinned with a wink, causing Saige to blush a bit.

She noticed one of the light pole up ahead, before she went to one of them and twirled on one of them. "Stef, you look ridiculous."

"Come on, have fun live alittle !" Stefanie said, twirling.

Saige rolled her eyes before she wolfed her ice cream down, before she climbed up the other light pole and twirled in the opposite directions of Stefanie.

"God my parents and your's would kill us, if they saw us dancing like this."  as she laughed, Stefanie joked, "You're dad mostly." as Saige said, "And you're mom."

While twirling, Saige held her forehead, "Ooo, brain freeze." as Stefanie said, "That's what you get from wolfing down that ice cream." as Saige laughed at her.

Saige slipped landing on her back. "Saige !" Stefanie said hopping down rushing towards her. "Are you ok ?" Stefanie asked hovering above her.

Saige chuckled on the ground. Stefanie's blood pressure went down seeing she was joking.

Stefanie hovered above her, "Don't scare me like that." as Saige said, "Sorry forget you were so sensitive Stef."

"I'm not sensitive." as Saige chuckled at her, "Yeah you are." Stefanie sat down next to her, Saige smiled at her, before saying, "I never knew how good you look like at that kind of angle."

Stefanie blushed at her, "I never knew how nice It felt to hover above you." as Saige chuckled at her.

Saige smiled before saying, "Here." handing Stefanie some chalk she found in front of the Fell House. "What's this for ?" as Saige said, "To write our name down duh."

Stefanie hunched her shoulders before she wrote down her name, Saige wrote her name under as they both drew fancy hearts around one another names.

Stefanie grinned, Saige was positioned, to the side right next to her. Stefanie looked down at her.

"Do It." a voice told her, Stefanie leaned in to Saige, Saige noticed as Stefanie's lips brushed against her's, she kissed her.

She kissed Saige Lockwood.

Saige was shocked, Stefanie pulled away from her. "I"m sorry, were not there yet, holy crap, I'm so sorry Saige I didn-" as Saige cut her off with a passionate kiss on her lips.

Stefanie took it, and smiled, Saige felt a grin on her lips, chalk got onto their hands, as they pressed them to one another's clothes and bodies.

Saige smiled as Stefanie smiled back at her.

Finally getting to kiss Saige, and in her mind it was a nice to end the date.
