Caroline was a good cook, but she didn't know what to cook for Ivory. 'What did she like? Was she allergic to something?' Were the most common things racing through her mind.

She decided on a normal breakfast. Fine eggs, greasy bacon, and fluffy pancakes. Everyone likes those. She started to cook. Her fingers were like magic, placing this and that, doing this and that, perfectly cooking and creating the dish.

Ivory had just finished making her video explaining the match. She had said that she should not be explaining it, but oh well. Sighing, she sat her phone down, knowing full well that it would take an hour for her phone to finish uploading her video.

She shot upright, smelling something heavenly. Her eyes rushed to the door, she could almost taste how good the smell was. She bolted out from the bed, and rushed towards the kitchen.

When she entered, she almost drooled at the sight. Pristinely cooked eggs, beautifully greasy bacon, and amazingly fluffy pancakes. Ivory grabbed a fork and a knife, and rushed to the table, already claiming a spot at the table.

"Glad to see you enjoy it!"Caroline said, slightly shocked at how IVory entered the room.

"The smell is amazing!" She sampled a piece of pancake "Teach me your ways!" She devoured the eggs in no time, and then proceed to work on the bacon, while dripping syrup onto the pancakes.

Caroline just sighed, smiling happily. She always enjoyed cooking, it was her hobby. Growing up in a household that had no games made her enjoy things such as that, since there was practically no excitement.

She slowly ate her food, and  even she had to admit how good it was. She had always considered food the best way to win someone over, and so far it has succeeded. She also prefered peanut butter with her pancakes.

"There is no real secret to it, maybe how long I cook it for?" She offered, cutting into the soft pancakes. Ivory just shrugged.

"Really? Wow, I can barely cook pasta!" She then took another bite. "So Fluffy!" Caroline consisted the possibility that she was still suffering from her hangover.

They walked through the park quietly. Although it was in the afternoon, many people weren't there. They walked steadily, talking about this and that every few minutes, but they both kept their voice down, as if afraid to disturb the forest.

The trees steadily grew taller, but the wind stayed the same. The branches of the tree provided excellent shade. Many flowers were blooming. Marigolds littered the area as they walked.

Slowly, Ivory swallowed. She slowly reached out her hand, and grasped Carolines. Caroline didn't react, so Ivory considered it a win. They held hands as they walked, eventually sitting down to take a rest.

"You known Ivory....." Caroline started, blushing profusely. "I've kinda liked you for awhile now..." Her heart raced as she said those words, instantly regretting her choice.

"I know" Ivory said smoothly, taking in the golden view of marigolds. "And I like you too." And Carolines sighed in relief. She felt a weight lift from her shoulders, and she was now quite happy about her decision.

They sat in awkward silence, until Ivory ventured out the question. "How about we turn that Lunch meeting into a date? See where it goes from there?" Caroline's heart skipped a beat. She felt the world go quite.

"S-Sure!" She sputtered out, and Ivory grinned. She sighed, calmly placing herself against Caroline, happy. Caroline, now her blush noticeable even with her fur, ventured out, and kissed Ivory on the cheek, which was met with a giggle.
