Date? (Ty Lee)

[Ignis]

Ignis was sitting at the dinner table of The Golden Dragon waiting for Ty Lee to arrive. Ignis had some thoughts about Mai when he left, but he wasn't that sure right now. One of the waitressess, in her traditional jet black and gold robes, served Ignis a starter, which was a bowl stuffed with prawn crackers. Ignis took a bite out of one of the white fragile crackers and waited for Ty Lee.

Ignis really liked Ty Lee but he also liked Mai, he wasn't sure. Ignis looked at the candle light and pondered more. Ignis was dressed in a golden outfit with small black lining. The gold part of the suit was glimering and shining. Ignis had payed at least ten bags of gold for this. Ignis had given three quarters of what he usually might make in a month or two..mabye three. But still it was the smartest suit of a definiate royal standard. The shine, caused people to glance and stare at the suit, from their tables, now and again. Ignis continued to wait.

[Ty Lee]

Ty Lee spent what seemed like forever trying to figure out what she was going to wear. She didn't want to dress too fancy, but not too casual either. She wanted to look great, but not look like she was trying to look great. After going through almost all of her clothes she managed to find something. She wore a pink tube top that hugged her curves tightly. She also had on a matching skirt that had a slit up the left side. A pink cloth belt wrapped around her hips at the top of her skirt. And to finish it all off, a tight necklace was around her neck with a golden oval held in the middle of the front of the necklace.

Finally, she got to leave the palace and hurried to The Golden Dragon. Ignis was held in her mind. She slowed down once she caught sight of the place. Ty Lee walked up to the table she saw Ignis sitting at. "Wow..." She said, her mouth dropping open just a little then stretching itself into a smile. She put a hand on the back of her seat, staring at Ignis.

[Ignis]

Ignis' golden clothes glistened in the moonlight and shone in dazzling magnitude. This was, as stated earlier, the most expensive piece of clothing, he had ever purchased. Ignis didn't shop for clothes much, he enjoyed, watching ammature Agni Kai players duke it out, some as young as twelve.

Ignis then spotted Ty Lee and waved in the distance. Her clothing was smart and kind of elegant. Ignis blushed at just the mere sight of her beauty. Th beauty of her face and her garments. "Hey!" Ignis said as she sat down. "Nice clothes!" Ignis complimented as he couldn't stop staring at her, a light blush appearing on Ignis' face. "So what are you having to eat?" Ignis asked.

[Ty Lee]

"Hey" Ty Lee said softly, taking her seat. She kept her eyes on Ignis. From the looks of it, he must have spent a fortune on the clothes he was wearing. "Nice clothes!" Ignis said to her. "Me? Look at you, you look great." She said still finding it hard to take her eyes off of him. "So what are you having to eat?" Ignis asked. "Oh, I don't know yet. How about you?" Ty Lee said with a smile on her face.

[Ignis]

"Why thank you." Ignis said a respectful smile on her face. "I'm not sure yet...Mabye some crispy duck..It usually does it for me." Ignis said. He took another bite of the prawn cracker. "So...Uh..." Ignis said trying to think of something that didn't suck, to get the conversation going.

[Ty Lee]

"Hmm, I don't eat duck often... Maybe I should try it..." Ty Lee said, tilting her head to the side and swishing her bangs out from infront of her face. She looked to Ignis as he tried to think of something to say and couldn't help but giggle. "Tell me something about yourself. That might start a conversation." Ty Lee said, her smile showing her teeth. She put her elbows on the table and rested her head on her intertwined fingers as she listened to him.

[Ignis]

The shirt glistned again. "You really should. It's gorgeous!" Ignis said inviting Ty Lee to try some when it was time. Ignis was gratefull to Ty Lee for her trying to help him out for a second. "Ok..but you have to promise not to get bored, Ok?" Ignis said. Ignis then started. "Well I pretty much joined the Agni Kai tournaments so that I could ensure that me and my sister won't have to go back on the streets again. It's more for her really, though I'm not saying I don't enjoy it." Ignis said before smiling at the end.

[Ty Lee]

Ty Lee giggled again. "Ok, I promise." She listened to him, her head still resting on her hands. As he finished she tilted her head, it still resting on her hands, then a question came to her. "So, what happened to your parents?" Ty Lee hoped the question would not bother him, but she was just curious.

[Ignis]

When Ty Lee, asked about his parents, Ignis' eyes widened. Ignis then had a flashback of the day, Ignis and Serenity's parents had died.

The sky was sunny and there were no clouds in sight. On a Fire Nation cruise ship, there were many servants catering to Ignis' mother and father's needs. Ignis (eight years old), and Serenity (Six years old) were running around chasing each other, on the front deck. Ignis' father relaxed for a tan, while his mother watched her children play. "I'm going to get you, Big bro!" Serenity said running after Ignis. "No your not!" Ignis said back. They then heard a thunder-like sound. Everyone went silent. Serenity ducked down thinking something bad would happen..and that's just what happened.

An enormous Earth Kingdom Disc, sliced straight through the top floor of the cruise ship, blowing it clean off. Serenity screamed, but Ignis only watched in horror. Another disc sliced through very back of the cruise ship. Ignis and Serenity's mother cradled her children in safety and kept telling them it would be all right. Now a massive Earth Kingdom military ship was visible. Earth Benders were shooting more Earth Discs.

Ignis' mother then let go and began to slide down the ship into the smoke of the now sinking ship. Ignis' father was nowhere to be seen. An occasianal blast of fire was shot back at the Earth Benders in retalliation, though there were more Earth Benders than Fire Benders. Ignis then saw an older boy about twelve running towards Ignis but then he passed out. Ignis woke up with his sleeping sister in his hands, floating on a piece of driftwood.

Ignis then snapped out of his flashback. He looked away from Ty Lee. "Oh they died when I was eight and my sister was six." Ignis said to her. "Could we not talk about that please?" Ignis asked politely.

[Ty Lee]

Ty Lee was sitting cross legged in her chair now. Luckly her skirt was long. She dropped her hands in her lap. She felt his aura change completely. "Oh, I'm sorry." Ty Lee said looking down at her hands in her lap. "Yeah, we don't have to talk about it..." She looked back over to him, searching for something to say to break this moment. "Well... tell me a bit about your sister. What is she like?" Ty Lee said, a faint smile on her face, her head tilted to the side again.

[Ignis]

Ignis was glad Ty Lee cared. "Well to be honest, she's a lot like you. Cheery, Happy, Bright etc." Ignis said. "She really depends on me and thinks I'm always going to be there to love and protect her...which I will." Ignis said thinking about his sister. "She's quite a powerful fighter though, when she has the drive." Ignis said thinking about Serenity's blade skills.

[Ty Lee]

Ty Lee grew a wide smile on her face, and her back set straight as she listened to him speak about his sister. "Wow, I really hope to meet her sometime." Ty Lee said, happy again as she felt his aura change. She crossed her legs and ran her fingers through her bangs quickly, her other hand laying on her lap.

[Ignis]

"Yeah I think you would like her..." Ignis said comparing Serenity to Ty Lee in his mind. They were both very a like. They were both very pretty, skilled fighters, bubbly and cute and always kind. Ignis took another bite of a prawn cracker.

[Ty Lee]

Ty Lee had both her hands in her lap, laced together. She wasn't sure what to say now. For a single moment, she looked away from Ignis. She noticed a few guys were staring at her and she smiled but looked back to Ignis right away. After all, she was on a date with him, not any of those other guys. She bit her lower lip, and then let it go. "So..." She said with a small smile, not sure what else to say.
