Love for freedom. She couldn't but smile at that. She had that vibe from him from the start; a free spirit trying to find it's way. Though the analogy that he said surprised Maia. She didn't think of him as being so in touch with his inner child but she guessed he was.
"I'll remember that, Jack." Maia nodded at what he said, smiling again. "Guess your right. See you at sunset?"

Jack got up and gave her a nod before jumping down the stairs and making his way out the door. Knowing he couldn't go running of roof tops like he did when he had his mask on or at night Jack just ran down the street. People watched as they saw a boy pass there car going around 20 mph. Jack made his way first to a help wanted sign. Walking in Jack had to move a bunch of lumber from this point to a lumber yard.
Wasting no time Jack moved all the wood in only an hour but seeing as he was not paid by time made the full price of a whole days work. Walking out leaving the guy a bit speechless. Jack made his way to a clothing store picking out a few things and then making his way to a small Italian Restaurant. Knowing she didn't go out much a more calm place to go and eat would probably be best. Plus Jack was not one for crowds either. After setting up a table Jack started to make an arrangements for the dancing. Getting a band to actually play for that certain spot for one night. Jack did all this and it only hit just before the sun started to set.
Walking into a local spa Jack figured it be best place to clean up. Getting out just after the sun set. Jack now had a black dress pants, shoes, and jacket that covered a white dress shirt underneath. Jack left the jacket hang open cause he still didn't like to be to constricted. Only being told that it was the best thing for what he asked for at the store. Jack had no idea so just took it. Finally after the sun went down Jack found himself back at the door. With a few knocks Jack waited for someone to answer seeing as it wasn't his house to just walk into.
"I always hear people say this is a hassle at times. Though that was easy and I managed all in just a few hours. Now to see if Maia is ready."

Maia was in a great mood from that, taking off into her room. She hummed happily to herself as she looked through her closet for a good dress. What to wear, what to wear!? Ugh, she had too many dresses to chose from and so little time!
After digging around and realizing she should have asked Jack his favorite color she grabbed a really lovely dress. It was red with a layered skirt and short sleeves that gave it a bit of a Latin look. Smiling she decided it looked good enough and almost did her makeup but stopped.
Maia looked to different after sunset. So she waited, a bit impatient, until she sunset and she changed. At once she quickly did her makeup and hair. Once she was done she heard a knock and almost ran down the stairs to the door. She opened it, gasping at what she saw.
Jack was....wow! Well, she didn't feel overdressed. "Jack, you....you look great." It was certainly quite a transformation! She almost couldn't believe her eyes!

Jack waited and heard Maia coming she sounded excited. Seeing her open the door Jack's eyes lit up. Seeing Maia in such a nice dress Jack almost couldn't stop staring. Hearing her mention about how he looked he took a look at himself. It wasn't that good he thought but it was what he was said he look best in. Looking back to Maia Jack spoke looking into her changed eyes. He really liked her eyes even in this form if not maybe a bit more.
"Maia you look so beautiful. I knew I would be going with the best but now I'm going to be making so many people jealous I have the best girl with me."
Jack watched a town car pull up and Jack smiled holding out his hand toward Maia. He had everything planned out so far. Everything else would have to be made up on the fly on his part. Though he was confident that he could go through this night making it the best Maia has ever had.
"Wouldn't want you walking on your first night out."
Jack made way to the car and opened the door for Maia waiting for her to get in. Once that was done he would make his way in and it would be off to the place he got ready for them. Jack was never in a car before so he was more amazed by the fact he was in one than anything else. Though it was Maia he was most stunned about.

Hearing what Jack said, she couldn't help but blush. "Thank you, Jack. I-I wouldn't say the best, though. If anyone gets jealous it's because I'm with such a wonderful man. I...wasn't sure if you'd like this or not. Don't usually wear such nice dresses at night."
It was very true but Blood Star still had a bright smile on her face, taking his hand. She gasped, eyes lighting up at the town car. Ho-how...when....? Well, Jack was even more full of surprises then she thought! "Thank you, Jack."
Maia was still blushing as she carefully got in, looking around it with just as much excitement before looking back at him. "This is so wonderful of you. How did you manage the money for it in so little time?"

"The dress is very pretty but your what makes it beautiful."
After Jack found himself in the town car he gave the signal for the driver to take them to the destination. Looking back at Maia Jack stretched his arms out along the back of the back car seat with a slight grin. He looked out the window for a few seconds only to start speaking with a very confident and proud tone to his voice.
"Well your with any normal guy. I did a day work for some guy who was short handed. So I made that on top of the money I still had left from ruining that guys little business. I also got a discount at the place we are going for planning something special for all guest to enjoy. Though it's for you. I have my ways."
Jack soon found themselves being pulled up to the small Italian Restaurant. Getting out first Jack made his way opening up the door for Maia and helping her out. Walking in with Maia Jack and her were seated at a small table right in front of the fire place. Giving them a little privacy from the rest.
"I know it can't beat your mother's cooking but I hope you like it."
Jack ordered a plate of pasta and watched Maia order. After a few moments Jack looked over to a few guys standing on a more raised part of the room and they started to play. A soft elegant music filled the room and Jack let out a slight laugh looking back to Maia speaking a soft tone.
"The place didn't have anyone playing music so I figured it would only be proper for a actual band to play. It's only for one night and that's yours."

She couldn't help a small laugh. Normal guy? Still was impressed! "You got the money for all of this working for only a few hours? I can't believe your doing so much for me, Jack." Really, it made her feel a bit bad. Jack had clearly spent a lot on her!
Maia gasped, seeing the place they pulled up and slowly got out. Oh...th-this was.... "Ja-Jack..." She was speechless, letting him lead her into the restaurant. She was amazed again by where they were seated. "Jack....this is so wonderful! I-it's like something out of a movie!"
She smiled softly, looking down at the menu for anything spicy. Oh! Spicy sea food pasta? That sounded good! Maia nodded, deciding that's what she wanted before the music caught her ears and she looked up, amazed. "Ja-Jack....I can't believe how much you did for me."
She couldn't help but laugh, blushing slightly. It was starting to remind her of the scene from the 10th Kingdom when Wolf tried to propose to Virgina but then she found out where the money from it all came from! But...no! They were to young and only just met. It was just trying to make their first night out special.

"Sometimes someone deserves to be given a little more. I can't think of any one more deserving than you."
Jack just laughed lightly at all her responses to everything she saw. He was glad to know she was enjoying everything. Though Jack had to admit he was the most happy person in the world to know he was here with Maia. Watching her order Jack knew she would find what she wanted. He didn't ask her favorite food for no reason. If he didn't make sure spicy food was there not much point in being here.
"Find something spicy? I remember...To me Maia this is all just an attempt to explain how much I want to thank you for being here for me. I have to admit. I did it out of some selfish act as well. To see you dressed like this. Nothing compares."
The food arrived for the two at the same time and Jack wasted no time in trying the new dish. Though he ate it slow and refined. As he also took time to sip his water and watch Maia. Jack knew that he was enjoying this night but it was meant to be all for Maia. This was her night and Jack knew that every girl needed a night just for them. For some girls it was prom for others maybe sweet sixteen. This was for Maia.
"So are you enjoying everything Maia. I was hoping to get everything right from what I learned about you. Though this is only the first half of it Maia. Your going to have to wait on the rest though."
A little time went on and Jack enjoyed his meal finishing up half of it and enjoying the music. Though it was almost time for another one of Jack's planned little actions. That is if he could find it in him to move away from watching over Maia for a second.

Oh, he was just too sweet! How couldn't this all be a dream? It really was just like a dream to her. Maia looked up at his question, surprised. "Y-yeah...I did...with more then one meat in it..." Might as well get seafood since any sausage or chicken she'd get here would be fully cooked.
It was all to good to be true! He really.... "Jack...thank you so much. This is all so wonderful!"
Once the food arrived, Maia ate it slowly, enjoying the slight burn of the spice in her mouth. It tasted so good! Not as good as her mother's cooking but still very good. She snapped out of her mini trance, swallowing a small mouthful at his words. "It's, very much. It truly is like a dream, Jack." Only the first half!?
"You're too good to me. This night is already so much more then I could even dream of." Still she was excited, finishing as much as she could slowly. Only the first half....what else could he possibly have planned?

"Don't thank me just yet. We still have a whole night ahead of us."
Jack stood up after wiping his face with a napkin and walked over to the band that was playing. Shaking hands with one of the guys that were playing the music stopped and every band member but the guy playing the piano sat down waiting. Jack picked up a violin his face taking on that more determined and refined appearance. His posture was perfect as he placed his chin along the rest and gave a nod to the piano player. Jack started playing the violin with a master like skill.
His eyes held closed as the music started to fill the room. Many people stopped what they were doing to look up at Jack. Jack made his way to face Maia just watching her playing his eyes holding onto that determined prideful look. Jack played the whole song out and finished taking a bow. The man walked over taking the violin back and started to play once more. Walking back over to Maia Jack held out his hand leaning his face closer to hers letting out a slight whisper.
"May I have this dance?" Jack's Song

Maia nodded, though was surprised when he got up. She was very curious when most of the band sat down, watching closely. She actually gasped slightly, eyes going wide as he started to play. It was....amazing! Who knew he could play so well!?
That's when it hit her....that's why she didn't want to ask! Every mystery about him revealed itself to her on it's own in wonderful, amazing ways! If Maia had know he could play it wouldn't have had the same effect on her tonight.
She couldn't help but smile even as he stopped, walking back over to her. Now how could she say no to that?! Maia gave a happy nod, reaching out and taking his hand, slowly standing. "Of course, Jack. I would be honored."

Jack took hold of Maia's hand with a nod pulling her close to him. Moving around in rhythm to the music Jack held one of Maia's hands and had his other around her back. He use to dance like this all the time for a party his uncle had. Jack was always suppose to be this proper child but Jack never lived up to it. He was a wild spirit. Though when he had the chance to be around Maia his will to actually take the time in life was there. Right now in his mind it was just him and Maia.
"I have done this so many times and I have never enjoyed it till I got to dance with you. I feel untouchable around you Maia. Nothing hurts and I feel as if it's not gravity that holds me here but you."
Jack gave her a little twirl and had her end back in his arms. Others started to join but to Jack no one else even existed. He just kept dancing and holding a light smile as he watched Maia. This is what he was searching for his whole life. A purpose and a way to know who he is. Jack finally knew something was certain. Leaning in Jack spoke in a soft voice to Maia whispering so others wouldn't hear.
"After this I want us to take one more walk in the park under the stars."

She couldn't help but smile, happily slow dancing with him. She had never slow danced before but had seen it in the movies so following their example, letting him lead with one hand in his and the other on his shoulder. Maia didn't think she could ever have so much fun but she was!
Blood Star couldn't help a small laugh as he twirled her, blushing slightly at Jack's words. "I've never danced with someone before. It's....really nice. Especially with you, Jack."
She still wasn't sure if it was all a dream or not but either way she'd never felt so happy, so safe. She couldn't help but smile brightly at what he said, nodding. "I'd like that...very much."

"So I'm the first guy you slow danced with? Now I feel really special."
As they danced Jack kept watching her wondering just how he could be the first. Though that only made him more happy about it. Even though he figured it was her night time change. Though that had no effect on Jack. She felt small in the arms of Jack but that only made him more determined to protect her. If Jack had one thing he knew he had to do. That was make sure nothing ever bad happened to Maia. The song started to come to an end and Jack was getting ready to take Maia for the final part of the special night he planned for her. As the final bit of notes were played Jack gave Maia one last small twirl moving around her stopping and catching her with her back against the right side of his chest. Holding both her hands Jack smiled as people clapped and went back to eating while some kept dancing.
"For your first time Maia you were absolutely beautiful. Though this won't be your last either. Now shall we go to our final little surprise for the night?"
Leaving a tip at the table for the person who served them Jack gave a signal to the driver who was outside. Guiding Maia out in a little bit of an excited hurry, Jack wanted to make sure everything was done on time. Getting in the car with Maia Jack watched the driver start making his way for the park. Reaching forward Jack grabbed a gym bag from the front seat and held it across his lap looking at Maia with a sly grin.
"Don't bother asking what's in the bag. You'll find out soon enough."

"You are. Only time in the past I spent with guys was just hanging out as friends. Never danced with any of them."
Really, she had been scared of getting to close to guys in the past...that was in main reason. Blood Star was scared that a guy would get closed to her day form and run in fear of who she was at night. She was very happy it wasn't the case with Jack. As they stopped, Maia couldn't help a small laugh, enjoying herself. She couldn't help but beam at the applause. They weren't scared of them...they were all cheering and enjoying it as much as them! That felt almost as wonderful as the date itself.
"Thank you, Jack. That was wonderful." Won't be the last? She grinned at that. "I would love that."
So far this was indeed the best night of her life so far. Maia still had a grin on her face as she was escorted back into the car. She noticed the bag, looking at it curiously. Oh! Now what was he planning?! She couldn't help a small laugh. "You know I can't help but be curious."
