thethirdwonder | Blind Date

It took everything Cassie had to fight her nerves as she moved through the picture perfect snowy landscape towards the location she'd been told for the blind date. Sure a part of her was excited but mostly she was nervous. Who could Cupid have set her up with? It helped a little that she knew it wasn't Kon. Actually, it helped alot.

Finally, she arrived at the empty hut and, after a deep breath, stuck her head inside. It had been decorated with tasteful silver and blue holiday decorations and in the center of the room was a beautifully set table for two, with another small table nearby with covered trays that she assumed was dinner. It looked...perfectly romantic and Cassie's breath caught in her throat, reminded of Valentine's Day and Kon and... She quickly shook her head to stop that train of thought. If anything, it proved how much she needed this.

Still looking around at the comfortable furnishings of the hut, she took off her coat and boots, revealing a nice dress Donna had helped pick out just for this occasion. Her hair was done up nicely and out of her coat pocket, she pulled out matching shoes for the dress. Once she'd fiddled with everything, peeked under the covers of the dishes and fussed with her hair in a convenient mirror, she settled down onto a couch by the wall to wait, eyes nervously trained on the door.

Chekov had never been on a blind date before. He'd been confused with the arrival of cookies and such like, and even more so at the letter with the time and place. It was then very difficult to find something to wear, considering most of what he had with him had come out of the box.

He'd finally gone with some of his old uniform - the pants, for one, and finally coaxed the box into giving him something that was not too "loud", as someone had told him most of the things he had were. Then he'd headed for the hut.

As he stepped inside, he looked around for his "blind date" and his eyes widened when he saw her. "...Cassie?"
