Meet me at the rainbow bridge.

[action]

[After telling Hyokomon she was going out and reassuring her that she'd be back before the next day, Maya headed toward the Rainbow Bridge. She hadn't dressed up or anything, but she had brushed her hair because it had been kind of crazy.

And now she was waiting for Cam, excited for the surprise and also just. To be near Cam without any of the heavy baggage that had been plaguing their interactions.]

[action]

[It won't take long for Cam to get there, except he approaches from not the direction of the apartments, but the direction of Palette Town. He's strolling up to her leisurely, wearing not much special himself, comfy jeans and what looks like an oddly warm long-sleeved shirt, considering how warm it usually is outside.

And when he reaches her, Cam will simply reach to take her hand and kiss it.] Hi there, pretty girl.

[action]

[Maya laughs a little when he kisses her hand.] Cheesy.

[It's fond, and that would be it except she notices his shirt and tugs on one of the sleeves.] Aren't you hot in that thing?

[action]

[He smirks lightly and rolls his eyes, he supposes he can never really shake that nickname, huh?

Though she's pulling on his sleeve, he slips his hand into hers easily, lightly pulling her along.] Won't be for long. C'mon, you'll see.

[action]

[eatmybow]

[Nope, you're never getting rid of it, Cam. Just be glad she doesn't call you that over the network very often.

Following along, Maya wonders vaguely if she should have worn a jacket or something. Ah, well. She'll borrow from Cam or something if it's a problem.]

Are we taking an expedition to the arctic?

[action]

[headup_stickontheice]

[Thank you for that, seriously, if Neku or Seifer ever got wind...]

Nope, guess again.

[As they cross the Rainbow Bridge, which is not lit up yet due to the time, but slowly starting to brighten as the sun sets, it might slowly become obvious that they're headed toward Palette Town...though that doesn't exactly narrow down the amount of things they could be doing.]

[action]

[eatmybow]

[Maya doesn't call Cam that in public because it's not for other people, it's for her. Also she knows he's probably embarrassed by it.

She's also pretty sure she knows what requires warmer clothing, but it's no fun if she just says it, now is it?]

Then are we going to the moon?

[It could be a simulator or something, right? Maya looks around, taking in the bridge. She hasn't been out at night very often (even less so recently), but she loves the way things look when sunset is hitting them. It's so pretty.]

[action]

[headup_stickontheice]

[You are the best girlfriend, Maya. Cam doesn't tell you that enough.]

Not even close. You've gotta try harder.

[He turns his head back as he walks occasionally, taking in the sight not of the bridge and the night but of Maya enraptured by it all. The sunset, the bridge, and her. To him, there's no argument of what's the most dazzling.]
