Goku followed the young man out to his truck. Koshin made a point to act as the gentleman and open the passenger door for Goku. He then silently walked around the truck and opened his own door. Goku glanced around the vehicle, noting that it was very clean. Wow, ChiChi would like this guy, she thought. Then the thought occurred to her that she'd just thought of ChiChi. She winced slightly, the pain of betrayal was still evident.
Koshin noticed Goku wince as if someone had just stuck her with a needle. "Are you alright?" he asked, his face etched with concern. "Are you uncomfortable or something?"
Goku was dumbfounded, did he just read her mind or something? "Don't worry, Koshin, I'm fine!"
He drove out of Capsule Corporation's front entrance, and sped down the road, weaving in and out of cars. This guy was definitely what you would call a crazy driver. Of course, Goku was the world's worst driver, so she took no notice of this.
"Where exactly are we going?" asked Goku.
Koshin took a left turn on one of the streets he was driving on and replied, "Oh… it's just this restaurant that I really like. You'll like it too, I know it!"
"Cool, so what's it called?" asked Goku.
"It's called the Blue Koi," answered Koshin.
"Oh, like the fish, right? Do they serve Koi? I hope so!" said Goku with a smile.
"Er… No, Goku, I don't believe they do. Koi fish aren't very appetising," answered Koshin.
"Hey, to each's own," replied Goku.
"Looks like we're here!" announced Koshin, pulling the car into a parking space.
Goku took a curious peek out the window at the quaint little restaurant. Any other girl would have probably thought the place was a really romantic restaurant. It was very homey looking. It was familiar to most tastes, and a great place for a first date. There's nothing worse on a first date than awkwardness! The diner was surrounded by a beautiful landscape.
He got out, and opened Goku's door before she had a chance to do it herself. He took her hand, and helped her out of the truck, as if she were helpless, but polite nonetheless.
Goku analyzed the outside of the restaurant more closely. It had beautiful lush green grass, and rose bushes acting as a hedge around the building itself. The building was one story in height, and was painted a white creamy color. It had light baby blue window pains, and a big blue neon light centered at the top of the building saying "Blue Koi".
There were two cobblestone side-walks that led up to the building. There was a fork in between them with a small man-made waterfall that fell into a crystal clear pond that had a bridge leading a pathway across it. When Goku and Koshin reached the pond, Goku looked inside and saw none other than tons of colorful Koi fish.
Goku turned and glanced back at the parking lot. It was full of fancy expensive cars. She could see dozens of full tables, and busy waiters and waitresses bustling around from outside the window. "Koshin, the place is packed? Won't there be a long wait?" she inquired. "Not that I mind or anything!" she quickly added, trying not to be rude.
"No, don't worry, Goku. I reserved a table for us!" replied Koshin.
"This restaurant looks a little expensive. Are you sure you don't want to just go to a cheaper one? I won't mind at all," said Goku.
"Nonsense… I wouldn't allow anything less for such a fine beautiful lady like yourself!" flirted Koshin.
Goku just sent him one of her goofy smiles, although she was a bit uneasy. This guy's really polite, she thought, while saying "Um… okay, if you say so."
Koshin noticed Goku's smile, and shot one right back at her. Score! he thought happily.
"I have to warn you, Goku. I eat like a pig… my stomach's like a garbage disposal… hehe!" stated Koshin, laughing nervously, and blushing as red as a tomato.
"Oh really! That's great, because I'm the same way!" replied Goku.
"We'll have to have an eating contest!" joked Koshin.
"Ok, that sounds fun!" answered Goku seriously.
The two stopped gazing at the beautiful fish, and walked into the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant was just as gorgeous as the outside. Everything about the quaint little café was appealing to the eye.
The two were seated in a secluded spot of the restaurant looking out onto a garden in the back. Rhythmic music was playing, and the faint glow of light coming from a candle in the center of the table they were seated at was perfect. Koshin had clearly set this table aside, and had it decorated more nicely to be romantic, and it would have been if it weren't Goku he was going out on a date with.
A dapper thin waiter walked up to the two, smiled, and asked politely, "What would you like to drink, Miss?"
Goku, who had been preoccupied with the scenery, broke out of her trance, and looked up at the man. "Wha…"
"What would you like to drink?" repeated the man.
"Um… I guess… um… I don't know. What do you want, Koshin?" asked Goku.
"I'd like a glass of red wine," said Koshin.
Red wine? What's that? thought Goku. 'Oh well… "I'll have what he's getting," said Goku, diverting her attention away once more.
The waiter scribbled down what they wanted, smiled at Koshin, and winked knowingly. Koshin sent a beaming grin right back at him, and the waiter left the two alone. Koshin followed Goku's gaze out to the garden view, then back at Goku. He just kept staring at her for about two minutes, until finally, he spoke up and said, "Beautiful view."
"Yeah," mumbled Goku.
The waiter bustled back into the room with their beverages.
"Are you two ready to order?" he asked patiently.
Both of their eyes widened in realization. They had completely forgotten to even glance at the menu.
"Uh… " they both murmured simultaneously.
"Well, if you need more ti— " began the waiter.
Goku perked up and chimed, "Everything looks so good! Let's get it all!"
"W-what?" blurted out Koshin in disbelief.
The waiter was also shocked. Now this was one pricey lady!
"Is something wrong?" asked Goku innocently with a small pout.
Man, this girl's going to make me go bankrupt! thought Koshin, taking one last glance at the menu. All of the prices on the dishes are insanely expensive, but…
"Nothing's wrong. Did you get that, waiter?" questioned Koshin.
The waiter shook off his stunned expression and nodded a quick affirmative before leaving the two alone yet again.
