[And Rose appears, dressed nicely, pacing and looking a little nervous]

--Mum's making me go on a date. And I can't believe I agreed. Hopefully she'll leave me alone after, though.

I haven't done this in ages, though. I've almost forgotten how dates work.

[WHAT THE HE-- I mean hi] Date? Oh, honestly, Jackie...

Moms are a pain in the ass like that.

Do you at least know who you're dating?

[JEALOUS--I mean what] That's Mum for you. Like I said, I'm really just doing it to get her off my back about it.

Sorta. We've met, a few times. He's the son of one of her friends.

[TOTALLY NOT JEALOUS] Can't blame you. [WATCH ME BE CASUAL] Sooo, what sort of bloke is he?

[OH TOTALLY NOT. Watch her work that.] Good looking, nice, funny....smart, too. Graduated from Oxford Law.

[making a 'NOT IMPRESSED' face] Oxford? Oh, well, I guess that's not bad. Not that it means much. You should see some of the graduates.

[ON PURPOSE?] Some, but not this one.

That's better than a blind date, at least!

[Rose is a meanie] Oh. Well! That's good. So you know him, then?

[Oh, he has to know she's messing with him] A bit, yeah. Mum's introduced us. At Annie's birthday.

It is!

She's tried to make me go on those before, though.

A date?

[That doesn't make it right] The one you were hiding from?

[She's having fun with it] Yeah, that'd be him.

Yeah. I don't really want to go, but--

You do know what a date is, right?

An arbitrary measurement of time humans -- and many other races -- have devised to keep track of the linear year.

...not that sorta date.

Er, more like the one where someone goes out with someone else.

As in a social event? [tilts her head] I do not go out often. Can I go on a date, then?

I thought you didn't like him.

Yeah, 'course, anyone can go on a date, really.

Turns out he's not what I thought the first three times I met him.

And these dates ... are they between acquaintances? Shall we go on a date, then?

That breaks the rule of three. But rules get broken often enough. I do hope your date goes well.

Do I look all right? [Twirls a bit, because twirling in skirts is fun]
