Marlene had ran nyumbani to tell Leslie about how it had worked and how the plan actually was working so far. "See, I told wewe he would say yes, was skipper jealous?" Asked Leslie with a smile on her face. "I don't know I didn't ask in front of him, but in sure Rico has told them about it, can wewe help me get ready for the tarehe tonight?" alisema Marlene. Leslie agreed and the two began to set the meza, jedwali for Marlene and Rico(oysters and fish), grabbed some flowers and candles, and cleaned the place up. Meanwhile, at the penguins place, Rico wa getting ready for his tarehe with Marlene, while the boys were trying to help him. "Relax Rico, just be yourself and you'll be fine" alisema private, with a cheerful look on his face. "Ahh love, wewe are mysterious in many ways" alisema Kowaslki with a genuine look on his face."yea, why would marlene go out with you, I mean wewe two hardly ever talk" alisema skipper with a concerned face. "I don't know either....I thought she would never go for a guy like me, I mean, skipper, wewe have that courage to talk to anyone, Kowalski's really smart, and privates super cute, and I'm just....nobody" alisema Rico with a sad face. "Nonsense!" alisema private angrily. "She like wewe because your....daring and challenging" alisema private. "Yea...that's true, this is gonna be my first tarehe too, so I'm a little nervous" alisema rico. "You'll be fine Rico" alisema Kowalski. And then, before Rico left, skipper gave him his lucky bow tie to wear and Kowalski gave him some Cologn to borrow, and he was off to Marlene's.

Marlene had just gotten the place done with Leslie, and before Rico saw Leslie, she left and told Marlene that the plan would work fine, and to tell her not to say anything about the plan to Rico, au it would fail, the. She left. A few dakika later, Marlene had a knock on her door, she went to go open it, and welcomed Rico in. "Hey Rico, so wewe ready for this date?" alisema Marlene. "Umm..s-sure..."said Rico, nervously. Marlene then grabbed Rico's arm and let him and her sit down. "So, Rico, what do wewe like to do for fun?" alisema Marlene. "I-I like...to umm...blow s-stuff up..." alisema Rico. Rico's face began to turn bright red and he started to look at the floor. Marlene and Rico stopped talking and ate, because they couldn't think of anything to talk about. Eventually, Rico broke the silence kwa asking a question. "H-hey, why did wewe ask me out?" alisema Rico, with a concerd face. "I mean, I'm not the kitanda they to be around, I mean I can't even talk to wewe for five sekunde without getting embarrassed" alisema Rico. Marlene couldn't tell him the truth why she asked him out , au the plan would be ruined, so without thinking, she grabbed Rico's arm without him noticing, and said,"I picked wewe because I wanted to learn zaidi about you, I wanted to get closer to you, because I've secretly have had a crush on wewe all this time." alisema Marlene with a seductive look on her face. "Oh....u-umm..I've always had a secrecy crush on wewe too, I was just so embarrassed that wewe would turn me down and I would get laughed at" alisema Rico, looking down at his empty plate.

And without knowing it, Marlene grabbed Rico and kissed him on the lips,and for the first time, Rico felt that spark in his life that he was actually in love, he had found his soulmate. They kissed for a good 5 minutes, then Marlene had let him go. Rico was red as could be from that kiss, probably nervous still. "I had fun, we should do this again sometime.."said Marlene, and then Rico hugged Marlene goodnight, and the Marlene went into her house. "That was the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced, I'm in love, ha, imagine that" alisema Rico with his face as happy as he could be,"I can't wait for the inayofuata date" alisema Rico, the ran nyumbani to tell his buddy's what had happened.menawhile, at Marlene's, Leslie had dropped kwa to talk about the date, and how this plan was gonna work out perfectly."see, he really thinks wewe upendo him, now he's probably gonna go nyumbani and tell his Marafiki and that will make skipper jealous, your one step closer to reaching him" alisema Leslie with a diabolical face."yea, I can't wait till skipper falls in upendo with me" alisema Marlene, and then they continued to talk about the plan for a long time.....
