Gino's date with Takumi

"Hmm...let's see...I'm the eldest child...only girl...I like machinery, got that habit from mother..."

"Ah, like machinery, huh? Well, I can give you a lookie at my Knightmare, the Tristan. Custom 9th Generation Knightmare. All Knights of Round have one for themselves."

"Oh, really?" *Takumi's face lit up* "My mother has one, but she won't let me near it..."

"Well, who's you mother, migth have a talk with her then, haha."

*Takumi thought to herself: 'I can't tell him my mother's name...it'll cause too much trouble if he's serious...'* "Nah...I'll just save up enough to get my own."

"Haha, well, I can always hand you some money, the job pays pretty well. Oh, look, they closed the arcade. Now's that's a real shame."

"It is after closing time I assume..."

"I think they noticed you and wanted to prevent more damage to their consoles, haha."

"Maybe...I'm real sorry about breaking the game though..."

"Haha, no problem. So, what you say, want to take a glimpse on that Knightmare of mine?"

"Sure! What else about me haven't I mentioned?"

Gino walked to the nearest exit with Takumi next to him. "Hmmm, I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't need to know, right?"

"Yeah...I was just wondering if there was anything I'd forgotten to mention about myself..."

"Well, you'll be the one to know that." They walked outside to the parking garage. "Well, voilá, the Tristan." They looked up to the Tristan, which was kneeling, off line, next to some regular cars.

"It's amazing! You know...I've never been one for those girly dresses and all. Give me something like this to work on and I'll be set for a while."

"Well, let's have a ride with it, shall we?"

"You mean it?! Yeah! Woohoo! Awesome!" *Takumi is bouncing up and down with excitement*

Gino, being the tall and athletic type of guy,. jumped up to the cockpit. He opened it, and reached his hand out to Takumi. "It'll be a bit small for two, it's made for a single person, but it'll be cozy, haha."

*Takumi's face goes completely red* "Y-y-y-y-you mean..." *Takumi trails off*

"C'mon, it won't be odd.'You can sit behind me, or on my lap if you want."

"O-o-o-okay..." *Takumi climbs up and grabs Gino's hand*

Gino pulled her up easily. "Not that heavy, are you?" He opened the hatch oh the Tristan, and the cchair rolled out. He sat on it, and offered Takumi to sit next to him, or on his lap, if the other option wouldn't fit.

*Takumi sits on his lap, face completely red still* "Th-th-thanks for letting me ride in this..."

"No problem. now, this is how it's used." He inserted the key, and activated Tristan. It got up, and he grabbed two handles that were on the sides. By pushing them forward, the Tristan also went forward. He got them out of the Garage. "Now you give it a try, you saw how it works."

*Takumi grabs the controls, making maneuvers on the fly*
