Peters POV
I'm taking Jubilee on a date today. Oh god where am I going to take her. Oh there's that beach my mom and my sis like to go to, I'll take her there! I can get there in like 3 minutes if I'm careful, 1 if I'm in a hurry. I'll make sure I pick a spot where no one else is. So we can mess around with our powers and stuff. Should I tell her to bring a bathing suit? Or just surprise her.... I'll just tell her.
"JUBILEE, COULD YOU COME HERE FOR A SECOND PLEASE, IT'S IMPORTANT!" I yell from my room, pacing and waiting. Gods sometimes I hate how fast I am, it makes every second feel like ever.
"Peter what do you need, practically everyone heard you. If this is about how to do your laundry you can..." Jubilee said getting interrupted.
"No Firecracker this is about tonight. Our date remember, I was going to tell you to bring or wear a bathing suit. And a towel too, you'll need that," I say slowly so she understands. "Oh umm okay. Yeah that" she says blushing and laughing a bit. She looks really cute when she blushes. Your getting off track Peter. FOCUS!
"Be ready by 5:02pm please, I don't want to be late," I say to her while winking. She just nods and walks out to get her stuff together. Oh crap it's 4:30pm I need to start getting the picnic together, and run it there. I also need to grab all the blankets and what not. I may be fast but this needs to be perfect. I'm grabbing the picnic I put together this morning out of the kitchen when I remember I need to get a dessert. Crap. So I grab everything I need and start running to the beach. 2.45 minutes, not bad considering I had everything in my hands. After I set up an make sure nothing will move I run over to a bakery and grab a pie. Who doesn't like pie right? I pay, yes PAY for it and ask for the receipt to tape to it so she knows I bought it. I then run back to my room, shower really fast, eat a Twinkie so I'll have enough energy, and get dressed. I put on black swim shorts with a Nirvana shirt. 5:00 pm, nice Peter, right on schedule. I knock on her door, and she opens it right away. Gods she looks ravishing in purple. She has on a light purple dress with a dark purple bathing suit I'm guessing underneath. "Wow, you look... better than perfect," I breathe out.
"T-thanks Road Runner, I tried. So where are we going?" She asks stuttering.
"It's a surprise Firecracker, now I'm gonna pick you up okay? It'll be faster," I say smiling. "Okay, let me just grab my bag," she answers. She grabs her bag and I pick her up, bridle style. Along with super speed I'm pretty strong too, so she feels like a feather. I walk out of the institution slowly, so everyone sees us, kinda showing off. What can I say, I'm proud of getting her on a date with me. As soon as we're on the lawn I speed to the beach, the suns still up so the water looks beautiful, it matches my date😜. We sit down on the blanket I set out, and start taking stuff of the picnic basket. "Peter, how long did it take you to put this together?" Jubilee asks eating a chocolate covered strawberry I covered with chocolate by hand.
"Like an hour because I wanted everything to be perfect, and didn't want to start I fire," I say laughing. She just looks at me, like she's thinking about something, it's kinda scaring me as if she's regretting this.
"You did this all for me? Spent literal time doing this instead of speeding around, you made everything perfect for me?" She asks as if she can't believe it.
"Well I needed you to see that I'm serious about this, that I really like you Firecracker. I'm not messing around here, well not yet anyway," I say grinning eating some pasta salad I made. She just smiles and blushes, she's really cute when she blushes. I finish eating what I want and stand up. Let's swim I think. "Firecracker, lets go swim, before it gets dark," I say to her offering her a hand to stand up. She puts down the soda she was drinking and take my hand to stand up. We walk to the clear water step in. It's a little colder than we expected so she jumps really high, and I of course catch her out of reflex.
She just looks at me and says "I never noticed that your eyes are silver with a bit of a blue tinge, I thought they were just silver." I just smile and start walking as she clings to me afraid of the 'cold' water. I mean I've felt colder water honestly so it's not too bad. Once we walk to the the point of my upper arm I go to let her down, she huffs as if annoyed and gets down out of my arms, and honestly I'm a little sad. I liked holding her in my arms. We just swim around enjoying the water. She body surfed a wave, than refused to come back out cause she was cold. I roll my eyes and zoom over to her before she blinks. I hug her because she is shivering, and she leans into me, I guess I'm warm.
"I'm sorry you're cold Firecracker, do you want a blanket or my jacket or something?" I ask holding her close.
"All of the above please," she says smiling. We go over to our little set up and sit back down. I give her a blanket and my jacket because I'm already dry, I took a really fast run so I would dry off. Perks of being fast. It's starting to get dark so I take out two candles, so we can see a little. Jubilee scoots herself over to me and rests her head on my shoulder, than she pushes me back so I fall down. And lays her shoulders and head on my chest.
"Whatcha doin Jubilee?" I ask curiously.
"I'm cold, and your vibrating as per usual so I using you as a massage. It's quite nice, and plus you smell good" she says as if it makes perfect sense.
I just laugh, and say " Hey, you know what would be nice right now, a firework show, why don't you show my what you can do," I tell her and she just kinda huffs.
"Do I have to get up?" She asks. I answer, "Nope, not if you don't want to. I just wanna see your powers." She take her hand out of the long sleeves of my jacket and light her finger up with sparks. She shoots them in the air moving her fingers, and gosh they are beautiful. I gasp loudly and she just chuckles doing it again making it more colorful. They don't even look like regular fireworks, they look better, cooler, brighter.
"Those are amazing Jubilee, they're better than amazing they're... perfect. They match you're personality, bright, loud, unique, and uncontrollable," I say looking at her, she sat up a couple seconds ago.
"T-thanks Road Runner, I guess they do," she replies softly looking away. I turn her back towards me and gods she looks amazing as always in this lighting.
"You're very alluring Jubilee," I say to her meaning it. She doesn't answer she just looks at me and suddenly she's kissing me. It's like there is electricity flowing my through my veins and down my spine. I pull away looking at her with wide eyes.
"This whole date you've been complementing me, and I couldn't even say a compliment to you because there are no words to describe you. You're crazy, but amazing, you're devoted and I really like that about you. Peter I'm not good with words because my whole life has been action, but I can try. I really like you Peter and this date was just proof of how amazing you are," she says looking me in the eyes. Which my eyes happen to be watering, and I just smile. She smiles back at me and goes to hug me, which I of course let her. This date will probably be the day ever.

Authors note: omg I'm so sorry that it was so long
