sayshazamThe date was getting off to a horrible start. The only good part of it was that Isabelle hadn't arrived yet, so everything up until that point didn't exactly matter. Still, it would have been nice if things had gone a bit more smoothly.
The plan had been for them to make dinner together. Billy was pretty sure he saw that in a movie or a TV show or something and thought it was a pretty good idea. After way over thinking what to make he had settled on calzones, which were apparently just pizza's folded in half. The good part was that you could make the dough beforehand so the "making" part was just filling the dough with whatever you wanted.
The bad part was that dough was really dang hard to deal with. He had ended up getting dough and flower all over himself and the animals. So after his first failed attempt at dough he'd washed all three animals and locked them in another room before trying again. His second attempt at pizza dough was slightly less of a failure but still nothing like pizza dough. The third attempt somehow ended up worse than the first and he started freaking out.
After desperately calling around to three different pizza places one finally agreed to deliver him some crust dough once he explained what was going on and the person on the other line stopped laughing. He had just enough time to get everything set out by the time Isabelle was supposed to arrive he didn't have time to clean up. He thought about running into the shower but was worried that she'd right the doorbell when he was in there.
Fortunately he had told her that it was a casual dinner they'd fix together at his place and then a semi-fancy evening out. He knew enough from dating Steph that it was really important to let a girl know that sort of thing so they could dress accordingly. He had a feeling though that she wasn't going to show up with an apron on and a light dusting of flower like he was currently sporting.
It could only get better from here on out, right? Because no matter what happened at least he'd be with Isabelle.

Take it from the guy who just goes to school, works, and trains in magic and fighting that you are not boring because then I would be even more boring," Billy said, grinning at her. Isabelle seemed like the least boring person in the world. "And I don't mind being boring but I'm not gonna be really boring. So you just have to be exciting."

Anyone under Magnus's tutelage definitely has potential otherwise he wouldn't bother, and Isabelle also knows that Magnus doesn't let anything be boring. She'd almost like to watch it, if she thought they would let her.

Plus you've seen Magnus do magic so it's not like you'd be too impressed by the stuff I can do," Billy said. He kind of liked that though, because it didn't mean she would like him just because he could do something interesting. Not that there was a problem with a lot of other people thinking he was interesting just for that.
"But you find me exciting and I'll find you exciting and we'll probably be okay, right?" he asked, bumping her hip with his. It was playful and silly and maybe kind of dumb but HE WAS TOUCHING HER HIP WITH HIS HIP AND THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
