Jenny had scoured the universe for the perfect dress. Well, perhaps not the entire universe and not entirely scouring, but she felt as if it were close enough. She hadn't ever attended a planet's New Year's celebration before and she had no idea what to expect aside from what Peter had described

Peter checked himself over in the mirror. He dressed semi-casually while still attempting to look nice for his date. Date... and he didn't have anything to give her when she showed up. But he'd been thoughtful enough to make a thermos of hot coffee for them, so that was something.

She smiled and glanced down at the dress she was wearing, the blue translucent material rippling with each step she took. Jenny could only hope he liked it, too. Impressing the man suddenly seemed so very important.
Unable to remain quiet any longer, she called out, "Peter?"

"Hi," he managed. Not great but it was a start. Peter cleared his throat and tried agian. "You look really... amazing." Since he had no material item to give her, Peter settled for walking toward her and giving her a kiss on her cheek.

"I... I'm sorry, what? You... you want to have sex?" Not that it was outside the realm of possibilities. Peter just didn't expect her to come right out and say it.
"I think that would definitely be okay," he answered finally. And to think that his biggest plan had been to make sure she was his first kiss for the new year.
