//------------------------------// // Duel 5: Date Night // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh! Friendship is Dueling 6: Nightmare's Awakening // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// Burst woke up the next morning with a pleasant smile. "Must've slept better than I thought...", Burst thought out loud as he got out of bed and changed into his usual outfit. "Well, looks like today's going to be a good day." Burst went down to breakfast. "Someone must have had a good dream.", Burst's mom said with a smile as she noticed her son's lively mood. "You know? I actually did. In fact, I can almost remember everything that happened. But, time to focus on the waking world." Burst turned his phone on, and noticed a new text. "From Celestia." Burst opened up the text. "Free tonight. U have any plans?", Burst read. "None that don't involve you. What time? Send. I'll have to follow up with her when I see her before school starts." Burst finished his food and grabbed his backpack and deck. "See ya mom! I'll be eating out tonight! I got a date!" "Have fun!", his mom called out. Burst flew off to school as he summoned his dragon wings, and landed as soon as he was close to the school grounds. "Flying sure beats the bus." Burst went inside, and headed right for Celestia's office. "Morning Sunshine." Celestia looked up from her papers and smiled. "It's nice to see something I look forward to in the mornings. I got your text a little while ago. So how about we head out at around seven tonight?" "Sounds perfect. How about we go to karaoke tonight? From what Luna's said, you've got a lovely voice." "And I wouldn't mind you serenading me." Celestia and Burst shared a kiss. "See you at seven. I trust we'll be flying with Blue-Eyes?" "You know I go all the way for you.", Burst said with a smile. "Until then!" Burst went off to his classes with a smile. "Yup. Today's gonna be good!" As his first class was getting ready, Nightmare had noticed Burst's elevated mood. "You sure seem happy." "Sure am! I've got a date with the girl of my dreams tonight. We're hitting up the local karaoke joint. It should be pretty fun." "So you're serenading your lady. How romantic.", Nightmare said with a smile. "Mind if I tag-along?" "Well Nightshade....date's are kind of a two-person thing. That, I barely know a thing about you. I'm sorry." "So be it.", Nightmare said with a shrug. 'Maybe I can spy on them in mist form....' "Have fun." "Glad you could understand.", Burst said with a small smile. The rest of the day went by, and Burst spent a few hours toprepare for his date with Celestia. "Well, here goes nothing." Blue-Eyes then materialized and put his hand on Burst's shoulder. "You'll do fine Burst. You've performed for entire crowds!" "Yeah. But this is my first performance for the woman I love. Needless to say, I'm pretty nervous." "Well dude. Keep calm, and rock the dragon!" Burst smiled as he and Blue-Eyes fist-bumped. "Yeah man! Let's go pick Celestia up!" Burst and Blue-Eyes were soon out the door, and flew to Celestia and Luna's house. Burst got off of Blue-Eyes and knocked on the door. Luna answered. "Celestia's almost ready.", Luna said with a smile. "Hope you two have fun." "Thanks.", Burst said with a smile. "Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long...", Celestia said as she came into view. She was wearing jeans, a light pink top with a yellow sun at the center, and her usual footwear. "No period of time is too long for you." "How sweet of you.", Celestia said with a smile. "I look forward to hearing you serenade me tonight." "Then let's not delay." Burst helped Celestia onto Blue-Eyes. Celestia then wrapped her arms around Burst. "Glad to see you're holding on tight." Blue-Eyes took off, and they soon landed at the karaoke place. Burst returned Blue-Eyes to the monster world."So what song are you gonna sing?" "I heard about your love of video games, and found just the song to perform." The two headed inside and Celestia pulled up the song she wanted to sing. You're giving me too many things Lately, you're all I need. You smiled at me and said, "Don't get me wrong, I love you, But does that mean I have to meet your father?" When we are older you'll understand What I meant when I said, "No, I don't think life is quite that simple." When you walk away You don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go" Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go The daily things that keep us all busy Are confusing me That's when you came to me and said, "Wish I could prove I love you, But does that mean I have to walk on water?" When we are older you'll understand It's enough when I say so And maybe some things are that simple When you walk away You don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go" Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before When you walk away You don't hear me say, "Please, oh baby, don't go" Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before Hold me Whatever lies beyond this morning Is a little later on Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all Nothing's like before Burst applauded louder than anyone else for Celestia's performance! "Celestia...that was beautiful! Your voice...it sounds so heavenly!" "Why thank you. Now. Can I hear the melody of my dragon?", Celestia asked with a giggle. "Here goes nothing..." Burst pulled up the song he wanted to perform, and prepared to sing his heart out. You are, my fire. The one, desire Believe when I say. I want it that way But we are two worlds apart. Can't reach to your heart! When you say, that I want it that way Tell me why! Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why! Ain't nothin' but a mistake I never wanna hear you say I want it that way Am I? Your fire? Your one desire? Yes I know! It's too late! But I want it that way Tell me why! Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why!Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why! I never wanna hear you say I want it that way Now I can see that we're fallin' apart, from the way that it used to be. Yeah! No matter the distance, I want you to know! That deep down inside of me! You are, my fire. The one, desire. Don't wanna hear you say! Ain't nothin' but a heartache! Ain't nothin but a mistake! I never wanna hear you say! I want it that way! 'Cuz I want it that waayyy The crowd cheered, and Burst walked over to Celestia. "Well? How'd you like it?" "Burst. Those rumors of your performances don't do you any justice.", Celestia said with a loving smile as she and Burst shared a kiss. "So what next?" "How about I fly us home?" "Isn't Blue-Eyes going to complain about you calling him out? I'm sure he and Saffira are on a date." "Who said anything about Blue-Eyes?" Once they were outside, Burst summoned his dragon wings. "Hope you don't mind holding on to me." "I believe I'll manage.", Celestia said with a smile as she held on to Burst as he flew her home. "Here we are." Burst landed. "Hope the flight wasn't too bumpy. I've never carried a passenger before." "It was lovely. I enjoyed the view." Celestia wrapped her arms around Burst. "Maybe we should do this again sometime." The two shared a kiss before Burst left. "Goodnight Burst." "Goodnight Celestia." Burst flew home, and hit the shower before promptly putting his PJs on. "Yeah. Today was awesome." Burst went to bed. Still hearing Celestia's voice as he dreamed. However, he was being watched. "It appears he and Celestia share quite a bond.", Nightmare thought out loud. She had observed their date in mist form. "Now. How to weaken it?" Nightmare then left to formulate her plan. Leaving Burst to his dreams.
