Flarts a Flutter Ch. 1

Chapter 1

*Flashback to Summer*

"Oh my- Chowder, are you sure you want to-"

"Yes, but remember, it's only for one day of your choosing. ONE day. Got it?" Chowder said placing heavy emphasis on the amount of times the Boyfriend pass was good for. Panini nodded back in understanding. "Good."

*End Flashback*

Panini sat on her bed, as she flipped the laminated card through her fingers multiple times. She still hadn't used Chowder's boyfriend pass that he'd given to her back in the summer, mostly because she was waiting for the right time to use it. It was then that she noticed the date on the calendar. "February 12th, wait it's only a few days to Valentine's Day" she knew what day she wanted to use it on now.

She went downstairs and dialed the number to Mung Daal's Catering. The five second wait was like five minutes to her before Mung finally picked up the phone. "Hello Mr. Daal? it's Panini. Is Chowder still awake? Oh he is, could you put him on please, thank you."

"Hey Nini, why are you calling so late *yawn*"

"Do you realize what special day is coming up num nums?"

She just had to ask him that, when everybody in town knew he wasn't the best at remembering holidays. Of course the fact that he was teetering on falling asleep right now didn't help either. "Is it Clown Appreciation Day?"

"No Chowder."

"Hug Gorgonzola Day*?" even he didn't know where that last one came from.

"I don't think that's an actual holiday, and I don't Gorgonzola would want it to be." she said and decided to stop him from going farther than two on his mental list. "Valentine's Day is in almost two days and- Chowder?" she could hear him snoring through the phone and giggled a little to herself. "Wake up num nums!" Panini said somewhat loudly into her end.

"Wh-what? I fell asleep didn't I?"

"Yep."

"Sorry, I'm still listening."

"So Valentine's Day is a few days away and I still have that pass you gave me. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want you to go on a dinner date with me on Valentine's Day."

Chowder thought it over carefully, he had never been on any kind of date before. But he had helped her get rid of her greatest fear, and played boyfriend for her dad when he came to visit, among other things. 'What the heck, I'll say yes.' "Okay it's a date."

"Thanks Chowder. See you tomorrow."

"Yep, see you. Stay warm." Chowder said noting the strong freezing cold wind that was howling outside that night.
