Dating RP.

"Haha, true that.", I respond, laughing along a little. Then, without having much else in mind but staying there with her, laughing and just being happy, I look at the moon, while sneakily getting closer to Lida.

I notice Aliucon sneaking closer. My heart beats faster, but I don't move from my spot as I look up at the moon.
"Wanna hear a joke?" I ask.

"Hum...of course, why not?", I say, looking at her again, wondering if she had caught him getting closer to her.

"Okay. How terrible of one do you want to hear?" I ask. "Because I have a really cruel joke that is funny, but cruel. Oh, first, let me tell you one of the jokes I hear all too often that leads up to the joke I will tell you. Two Jews walk into a bar. They bought it."

"They 'bought it'?", I ask, a little puzzled.

"Because a prejudice about Jews is that they are always wealthy," I try to explain. "Do you still want to hear the horrible joke?"

"Oh, that.", I almost sighed, but refrained myself from it. I was just trying to forget every prejudice I could, as I hated it. Still, since I had come this far, I didn't know if stop now was really an option.
Think of something... "Oh, please continue, by all means, if you will. I'm fine just with hearing your voice.". I smile again.

"Okay. If you're sure...You know the events of September 11, 2001? This joke is horrid. I shouldn't tell it..." I begin nervously. I just told the joke earlier that day to some friends of mine who laughed really hard. I sensed Aliucon didn't have the same sense of humor as I continued, "Two Muslims walk into a bar. It disappears. I'm sorry....I got one that's actually funny, but it's WAY longer."

I was going to laugh a little at the end of the joke, but Lida suddently seemed so nervous that it started to get me worried...again. But I didn't want to cut out the subject so suddenly. "Hah, now I got it! That was funny.", is what I say, as I really did get it now, but didn't just laugh too much. "You have a longer one? Could you tell it, then, please?", I ask, then. I was more interesting in hearing her voice, but wanted to sound interested in the joke as well.

I smile timidly.
"Alright, so Heaven is starting to get crowded, so God makes up a new rule to get into Heaven. Everybody who goes to Heaven has to have had a bad day on the day they died. So, the first guy comes up and St. Peter says, "I need you to describe your day on the day you died."
The man goes, "Okay. Picture this. I live on the 25th floor apartment and I have been thinking that my wife has been cheating on me. So, I get home from work early to see if I can catch her in the act. I get home and see my wife naked, but there's no guy. I search my whole apartment, and I can't find him. Then, I find a man dangling from his fingertips on my balcony. How dare he hide from me! So, I stomped on his fingers, and I looked down to see he was still alive. So, I grab the closest thing to me, which happened to be a refrigerator, and I threw it down after him. But that gave me a heart attack and I died. "
St. Peter says, "Wow. That really sucks. Okay, you can go on through." Then, a second guy comes up. St. Peter says, "I'll have to know what your day was like when you died."
"Alright. Picture this," the guy says. "I am doing my morning stretches on my balcony when the rail breaks. I grab onto the nearest balcony, holding on for dear life. Then, this crazy guy comes out and stomps on my fingers! I land in the bushes. I can't get up. I'm in agony. Then, he throws a refrigerator at me!"
"Wow. That really sucks," St. Peter says. "Okay. Go on through." Then, a third man comes up.
St. Peter says, "I'm going to have to know what your day was like when you died."
The man says, "Alright. Picture this. I'm standing naked in the refrigerator..."" I laugh at my joke.

I laugh alongside her. I actually had already heard that joke, but it was indeed funny enough to make me laugh again. "Yeah, that was funny.", I comment, after laughing a little. "Heh, you're kind of a comedian, all of a sudden, Lida.". I completely forget that our hands had separated while she was telling the joke, so when I move my hand and feel nothing, I look at it to see properly. That just makes me feel a little embarassed and I retrieve my hand closer to myself, blushing a little.

I smile and blush.
"I would do my routine for you, but I can't possibly be dead-pan around you..." I comment, pretending not to notice Aliucon blushing.

"Heh...if you say so...", I start, but, afraid this may have sounded too emotionless, I quickly fix it. "But, hum, it can't possibly be better than just being here around you...like right here, right now...", I make a brief pause as my sight moves towards the moon once again. "I guess I've already said this, but being here with you is one of the best things I could've hoped to happen..."

I smile brightly.
"Your laugh is the best thing I've heard all day," I blurt. Then, I blush and look at the moon.

I blush too, upon hearing that comment. "O-Oh...well, if you say so...but I feel like there wasn't even a day before we meet here. I guess the only thing I longed for this whole day was this very moment, when I would be with you here...having fun, just the two of us..."

I smile timidly and blush even deeper. Then, my stomach growls, killing the mood. I blush even deeper as I sheepishly finish of my ham and turkey sandwich.

I had almost forgot to eat, too, so I resume doing it.
For a while, then, I don't speak much. I just eat and drink some grape juice while looking at the night's sky, being somewhat distracted for a while.

I look to the sky yet again, making out some constellations. I point at one of them and say, "That's Orion." As I say it, I trace the constellation with my finger. I then sip some juice.

Taken out of his string of thoughts by Lida's statement, he follows her pointing to the mentioned constellation. "Oh...you know them?", I ask, rather puzzled, and somewhat embarrassed. One of his favorite activities at night was staring longly at the sky, reflecting about several things, but he never minded learning about the constellations, or their names.

"I only know a few," I say, "The Big Dipper, Orion, and...Well, that's all I really know from memory...But sometimes I like to make up constellations." I smile, reflecting on some stories I came up with about the stars. As I stare off into space, I sip some more juice and trace the Big Dipper with my finger.

I silently watch her finger's movement while I finish eating what I had at hand, since I neglected it for some time now and should as well eat a little more. After a minute of silence, I lay down in the grass and close my eyes, though not to sleep, just to appreciate that intriginly peaceful silence and think to myself for a while.

While Aliucon peacefully closes his eyes, I stuff my face to get rid of the insane hunger I have. It feels unladylike, bur I can't help it. I get myself to stop after a little bit and blush slightly as I start to relax as well, idly tracing random images I can see in the stars with my finger.

I open my eyes and see Lida tracing some kind of images with her finger. I smile while watching for a minute or so. Then I sit down properly again, but now even nearer her. Though I still don't look at her directly, I keep looking at the sky. "Hum...Lida.", I start, purposely stopping there.

"Yes, Aliucon?" I ask with an almost dream-like quality as I stop tracing and turn my head to see him.

Upon looking at her, I shudder. What was I going to say, again?
"Ah!...Hum...no, I just...just wanted to say...well to make you sure that...", I try to reach her hand with my own, and gently bring it closer to me. "...that it's so nice to be here.."
