he was a sk8ter boi she said see you later boy (scrooge x magica)

 If Magica's older brother had actually been on time to pick her up from school for once, she would have been stunned. With the building almost completely empty at this hour, Magica continued playing on her phone, sitting on a bench outside. She could have easily waited for a bus or called a cab, but truth be told she was in no rush to get home. She hated her home. She hated her family. There was very little she didn't hate.

Still, it was getting a little chilly, and at this rate her phone would soon be dead. She sighed, contemplating calling Poe, but knowing it'd make little difference. He'd get there... eventually, if he didn't have another DUI wreckage on the way there.

She shook her head, trying to dispel her thoughts and concentrate on the phone, keeping up to date on the latest trends and fashions, like a good De Spell was supposed to. As such, she was oblivious to any company that was heading her way.

"Nice to know I didn't become a total cad with a few drinks in me," he chuckled. He looked up at the sky, admiring how blue it was today. "So how has your day been?"

[lifesa_witch]

"Rather lovely, if I do say so." Much to the horror of everyone else, it seemed. "And you? I do hope you slept well." Teeheehee.

[richestduck]

"Very well, actually," he said brightly. "Then it was beak to the grindstone all morning."

[lifesa_witch]

"Of course, of course." She had hoped to fluster him more, but didn't complain. "But now we can plan our next... meeting. It's definitely something to look forward to."

[richestduck]

"Oh aye. And depending on how far out it is, we might even be able to have the meeting in my new office!"

The point...







...his head.

[lifesa_witch]

Magica inhaled and exhaled deeply. Had last night just been a series of miracles?

"Personally, I was hoping for a closer date." Oh dear. What a slip. She meant the date as in the day. How embarrassing. HOW VERY, VERY, EMBARRASSING.

[richestduck]

He paused, turning bright red.

She meant date on the calendar! Not date date!

"Well, I wouldn't mind meeting sooner."

[lifesa_witch]

Mmm, yes, she enjoyed that pause, trying to imagine that face.

"I did notice you had a free day next week..."

[richestduck]

"Aye, I do. On Thursday. Friday my sisters will be returning from Scotland."

[lifesa_witch]

"Maybe we could arrange a get-together. A little dinner, drinks, discussion, see where the night takes us?"

[richestduck]

"That sounds lovely. I look forward to it."

Business and perhaps a nice friendly dinner. Nice. Safe. Tame. See? No big deal...

[lifesa_witch]

"Why don't you pick the place this time? Surprise me."

[richestduck]

"Hmm..." He thought for a moment. "What are your thoughts on ramen?"

[lifesa_witch]

"A miracle food that can taste delicious whether for a dollar or a hundred. So I'm open to it."

[richestduck]

"Excellent. Should I pick you up? Daisuke-san's is a bit off the beaten track."

[lifesa_witch]

"How about an early dinner around five-ish? I'll be ready well ahead." And this time, she could dress a bit more... freely.

[richestduck]

"Five fifteen all right? The last meeting I have on Thursday ends at 4:50."

[lifesa_witch]

"Sounds perfect to me. I'm looking forward to it already."

[richestduck]

"Then I'll see you then." He checked the time on the phone. "And sadly I need to cut this call off if I want to have any lunch before my 1PM meeting."

[lifesa_witch]

"Have a good day, Scroogie~."

All right, so it wasn't the romantic rendezvous call she expected, but! They were going on another date! She was envisioning another fancy restaurant, so more chances for flirting, for tipsy teasing... hell, maybe she could call Poe up so he could finish it off perfectly like before!

[richestduck]

"You, too."

He hung up, sighing with relief.

Good. This was good. Nothing wrong.

He was looking forward to it.

[lifesa_witch]

When Thursday rolled around, Magica was dressed to the nines. Now that she no longer had to worry about it being a mere business meeting, she could emphasize the "date" part more. Perfume, make-up, fresh lipstick, a bit of purple color to her hair, stiletto pumps, a lavender dress that hugged the hips, short sleeves to show off the shoulders...

She planned to knock his socks off.

[richestduck]

Scrooge wasn't dressed to the nines but he did make sure to dress a bit nicer than usual before he went to work that day. He chose to ignore Launchpad's comments and only nodded to acknowledge a few people's compliments at his attire.

He rested his hands on his cane, tapping his fingers against the crook as the limo made its way up the drive to Magica's home. Honestly, this felt less like a business meeting than a date...

[lifesa_witch]

Seeing the car outside, Magica smoothed her hair and dress down before walking outside. A nice steady walk that would gather plenty of eyes, if there were plenty of eyes around.

She was starting to feel like a goddess, or a model. His attention was a beautiful high.

[richestduck]

He gawped inside of the limousine, glad he wasn't outside for her to see his gobsmacked expression.

'Is this how she would've looked at prom?'

Oh, that was a ridiculous thought. He would've been in his banged-up old truck in a hand-me-down suit like she'd said before.
