Maia gave a small laugh, blushing slightly. She was just as confused and surprised when some men grabbed him. Uh oh! She winced, hoping nothing bad was happening.
Still, once he came out she couldn't help but laugh. "I think they mixed you up with someone who works here. Um, you have....devil horns on." Maia couldn't help but burst out laughing again, shaking her head. It was funny with what he'd said last night. "Oh, from demon in devil in a few minutes."

Jack looked into a mirror and growled slightly. If Jack could he probably go back in there and give them something worse then being tied up. Though he knew Maia wouldn't want that so he just dealt with it. So instead of getting angry he just turned it into something fun he could deal with. Leaning in close to Maia Jack gave her a slight pet on the head.
"Yes I'm the devil now and your my evil kitty...."
Jack had a slight grin before he stood back up straight taking off the costume stuff. Looking around a little bit Jack held out his hand to Maia for her hand. Speaking in a soft tone Jack felt like it was time to maybe go see something a bit different.
"Let's go Maia. I want to go see some more places with you."
Jack smiled at Maia before walking out the store with Maia. It was going to be a nice long time in Jack's mind. Though he never knew what my be in store for him. Everything was in full swing now and lots of people they passed would take a look at the two. Some with a smile others with whispers between who they were walking with. Though Jack just ignored it watching everything like a kid in a candy store.
"So Maia why don't you tell me a little about yourself. I want to know more about you. What kind of stuff do you like? Like color, food?"

She couldn't help a small laugh, giving a little fake 'meow' with a grin. Maia shook her head, laughing as she took off the ears, putting them back before leaving with him. "Alright!"
Ah, this was nice! She was actually hanging around someone without fear! Without watching the sun all day out of fear. It was nice....a bit relaxing but not to much so that she wanted to stand around.
She thought a bit. What was she into. "Hm...I like dancing, pizza, soda. Normal teen stuff, I guess. I'm so full of energy so I mostly just...run around looking for stuff to do. Color? ....well, I really like black and blue so I guess I'd say midnight blue. Food.....I wouldn't say pizza is my all time favorite food."
Maia thought. Well....she loved lots of different kinds of food! It was hard to really say a favorite. "If I had to chose...I guess my mom's jambalaya! It's really spicy and full of lots of different meats! Really love spicy foods. Guess it's because of my cool body temperature."

"Well normal teen stuff for me is nothing like that."
Jack let out a slight laugh before he looked over to see a dollar on the ground. Picking it up Jack realized it was the money people in the city used. Looking up a guy with a small table in front of him and a few cups on the table waved him over. Standing there with Maia Jack heard the guy explain that if he bet that dollar he could earn five dollars if he could tell him which cup had the small marble in it. Loving a challenge Jack agreed. First time around the guy made it easy and Jack won easily. Second time around the guy went even harder as people around him bet on if he got it right or not. Thinking he had Jack stumped the guy started to collect money before Jack picked right again as easy as last time. This time the guy went and bet everything against everyone around hid the marble in his sleeve to cheat. Waiting Jack just stared at his sleeve knowing just where it was thanks to his power.
"You either give up or I tell the people why they lost all the money before."
The guy broke out into sweat giving up and packing up. Jack had a good sum of money now and placed it in his pocket with a slight evil grin on his face. Looking down at Maia Jack looked over towards some other stores.
"I guess we can clean up the town even on a date. Lets go check out that other store."
Jack walked with Maia across the street and was almost wanted to laugh. Seeing as he knew the guy planted that dollar to lure him over. Jack may have been out of town but a bad guy is easy to spot no matter where you are. This store was filled a bunch of toys and games. Looking at a teddy bear Jack lifted it up realizing it was wearing the same outfit he had on and was even smiling with large sharp teeth. Having a blank "what the heck?" stare at the bear Jack looked over to Maia.
"This bear looks funny...."

Maia laughed, shrugging as they walked. She blinked, looking at the dollar curiously. This was most definitely suspicious. She shook her head at the man but didn't stop Jack. At least it was only a dollar. The first time Maia wasn't surprised but the second...and the third!
By the end she was grinning, laughing. "Looks like it. And not everyday you get a little something for doing so, as well." Ah, that was a fun show! The grin was still on Maia's face as they walked into the store and she started looking around the store.
Typical girl, she was 'awing' at the stuffed animals, talking about how cute they were. She blinked, a stuffed white cat with a dress like the one she wore last night in her arms with one blue eye and one green. "Oh! That's adorable! It looks just like you, Jack!" She couldn't help but laugh. "And it's a teddy bear. They're meant to be like bears but with flat faces and big eyes so they look cuter."

Jack saw the cat and then looked back at the bear as she explained to him. Picking up the cat Jack looked at Maia finding it a bit funny how it was just like night Maia. Soon enough the old man working the shop called Jack over saying that he would give Jack a discount cause him and Maia looked like a good couple. Jack handed him some of the money that must of been enough cause he was now holding a bag with the two stuffed toys. Handing the bag over to Maia Jack smiled speaking in a soft voice.
"Here you go Maia. Now you can have something to remember this day by."
Walking Maia out of the store Jack watched as the movie theater came into view. Going all wide eyed and amazed by the sight Jack looked at Maia pointing at the the building. Speaking in a more excited tone than usual Jack stared to walk toward the building with Maia.
"Maia do you want to go see a movie with me?"
Jack smiled and hoped she said yes. It was odd but Jack didn't realize his one day compared to what other guys do was turning out to be more like a string of them all tied into one. Though Jack didn't really care cause for once he was able to ignore his pain being close to Maia and just able to live. His gaze even started to get softer when he watched Maia. He felt more and more time he spent with her the more he wanted to make sure he kept her safe. As well as kept being there for her.
"I wonder if the moving picture box is bigger than your one at home...."

Maia blushed at the old man's comment but was happy to get the two toys. "Thank you, Jack." Oh, now this really felt like a date! This was all so nice. It was getting to the point she was scared she'd wake up and it would have all been a dream.
She snapped out of her thoughts at the question. Movie?! "Su-sure! I'd love to!" She beamed, nodding. "Yeah, it is. It's much, much bigger! Like....it's bigger then the whole living room! Oh! But....keep in mind any movies with 'R' they won't let us in...need to be with someone at least 18 to get into one of those. 'PG' and 'PG-13' are ones we can get in no problem without going to a movie meant for really little kids."

Jack was amazed by the size of the screen as she put it. Though was even more excited when she agreed to go see the movie with him. Walking in with her Jack heard her mention the age with the movies and was a bit confused though remembered something. Jack had no idea how old he was seeing as he was half demon he didn't age like other people.
"I have no idea how old I am. Though I have no ID either so I guess PG-13 it is."
Jack walked into line and a woman smiled at them asking them what they would like to see today. Also mentioning that coming as a couple gives slight discount on snacks. Jack eyes lit up when he heard the mention of food and just realized how much of it there was. Jack picked a Action Drama movie and paid for the tickets. Now walking over to the snack stand where another girl started to stare at Jack and ask him what he wanted. Jack picked ice tea and popcorn only to turn to Maia.
"So Maia what would you like to have?"
Jack was given his popcorn and told he didn't have to pay by who he thought was a very strange girl. Though he didn't complain as he at his popcorn with a very happy childish face. For some reason being able to enjoy times like this really made him feel like nothing was ever wrong. Though having Maia close by at all times made him feel lots better making this better than a vacation. After Maia was done here Jack made his way for the theater with her being the first two there he almost dropped his popcorn seeing how big the screen was.
"Wow.....I think we should sit in back cause my head my come off trying to look up that high at it....."

A...couple? Of, this day was almost too much already! She found herself hiding a blush again as he picked the movie. Maia didn't say anything, letting him lead her in.
She watched the girl at the counter, catching on at once. She...was actually feeling jealous! She was totally hitting on Jack! "What? Oh...a diet soda is fine, thanks." As the walked away, Maia gave the girl a warning glare. Who did she think she was?! She didn't know Jack and if she did she'd probably run away!
Maia laughed at his reaction, nodding. "Most sit in the front only so they can get the most out of such a big screen. Since it's your first time here we can sit where ever you'd like to sit, Jack. I don't mind at all. Usually just go where my parents want to sit, anyways."

After hearing Maia say he could sit where they wanted Jack went up into the far back of the room and sat in one of the two middle chairs with his popcorn in his lap and ice tea in a cup holder. Watching some adds go across the screen Jack figured he would use this time to talk with Maia a little bit more. Looking over to Maia he spoke out eating a piece of popcorn between every few words.
"So Maia you like to dance? Maybe we can go dance tonight just me and you. Maybe go for something to eat as well?"
Jack waited for her to respond but found himself watching her and being a bit amazed at in how little time he felt so safe with Maia. He knew that it wasn't cause of what she was. Rather it was who she was. Holding a slight smile Jack looked out at the screen speaking one last time.
"I almost want to run back and buy those kitty ears....Maia looked so cute..."

She slowly sat down next to him. At least it would be dark so it would be harder to see her blushing. Maia couldn't help but grin again. Dinner and dancing?! "Sure. That would be great, Jack!" Best day ever! Way to good to be true!
Maia blushed once again at his comment on the kitty ears. "I didn't look that cute." Cute? He...thought she looked cute. Oh, stop blushing! "Well....to be honest you actually looked pretty cool in the devil horns and tail."

Jack was glad she agreed to his other two plans for the night. He was even more happy cause he would be able to spend the whole day with Maia. When she mentioned the devil horns and tail Jack laughed stretching his arms out behind Maia and behind the one empty chair next to them. Watching as the credits came on Jack spoke once more before he knew he had to be quiet noticing that him and her were the only ones in the movie.
"Looks like it's just us now."
The movie went on and Jack enjoyed it. It was a nice story but Jack found himself looking to Maia most of the time. He was glad to be with her and felt like it was a good time for him to actually come to terms that he couldn't leave now. He was to use to already seeing her smile. The movie went on for two hours for Jack this way and he finished his popcorn and ice tea just as the movie ended enjoying them both fully. After the movie was over Jack stood up stretching walking with Maia out very happy with how it all went.
"That was a lot of fun Maia we will have to go again some time. Why don't we take a break at the park?"
Jack waited for her to answer while watching a few of the people around them watching them. Though Jack probably knew why. At least that's how he felt in his own mind. It was a little past noon now so Jack figured after a bit of time in the park they could got to Maia's house to get ready for the night.

And now he had his arm around her!? Every time she thought it was her imagination something happened to make her think maybe this really was a date. A date...with Jack....Maia couldn't help a small smile at that before he spoke. What?! They were alone!?
"Oh....looks like it. Guess it's been out for a while so most that plan on seeing it have already."
She had the same issue. She was enjoying the movie but....Jack. At least the darkness hide her blush. Maybe...it wasn't just that they could relate and understand each other as two half humans. Maia felt...safe around him. Like nothing bad could happen as long as he was next to her.
Maia gave another happy laugh as they walked out, finishing up her soda as they left the theater and throwing out out. "Yeah. It really was great! It's a shame you weren't here when Phantom of the Opera was out...most think of as a chick flick but it has a few nice action scenes. Think you would like it."
The park!? Did he have any idea every suggestion was average teen dating?! "Sure. That would be great! The park is very lovely this time of year."

Jack gave a nod and started to make his way for the park down the street. Now that it was lunch time most of the streets were filled with reckless drivers trying to make sure they got lunch in time to make it back to work. Jack watched people go by and kids from younger grades got out of school. It was a very nice sight. Jack started to speak again feeling very relaxed in his surroundings.
"You know I use to always think to avoid finding something special to me. Thinking that if I didn't have nothing worth losing I had nothing to worry about losing. Now I can see that's now how I should of saw it. I'm really glad I met you Maia."
Jack kept walking giving her time to respond to what he said. Coming to a cross walk waiting for it to turn green. Jack's eyes scanned the road as he soon caught eye of a kid straying out into the street. Jack almost looked away till he noticed a car speed by. Jack took off behind it letting go of Maia's hand running after the car.
"Look out!"
The driver heard him and slowed down with his breaks but wasn't fully stopping. Jack jumped onto the top of the car running of the front grabbing the kid moving into the other lane. Seeing another car coming Jack reacted the only way he knew how. Jack jumped up letting the car go by underneath him. Landing on the ground the cars were put to a stop by the lights and Jack let the kid down as he ran to his mother. Jack moved to the side of the road as well as people started clapping for him. Though none of that really mattered to him. The crowd cleared and Jack just looked to Maia a bit of pain on his face. Yet still holding a smile.
"I promised I wouldn't stop trying."

Ah, except for the crazy drivers it was very nice. She liked the afternoon. It was so full of life, of friends gathering and chatting away happily.
Maia blushed, smiling brightly. "I...I never thought I'd meet someone that liked both sides of me. Always thought changing appearance made me different...a freak. I'm....I'm also very glad I met you."
She double took before she saw what he saw, screaming. Maia watched, wide eyed at Jack. Wh-what was....he was.....it all happened so fast but once it was over she grinned, running over and hugging him without thinking.
"Jack! That was amazing! You saved that kid's life! You really are a hero." She laughed at his comment, nodding. "Come on. Let's get out of the streets. You alright? The scar isn't to big, is it?" Yes, Maia had remembered what he said. But really she was just glad no one was hurt.
