The group parted ways after the dinner date. Since it was a weeknight and they still had class the following day, it wasn't advisable to stay out too late.
Steve and Tara took a cab back to the college while Ken accompanied Ai to her dorm. Ever since being captured on the streets back in Japan, he was hypersensitive about Ai walking alone in the streets.
It was unfortunate that he could not stay the night, but he bid her farewell with a long goodbye kiss.
"I'll see you this weekend." He said, lingering.
"Mmm, we should have more double dates in the future." Ai replied with a grin. Since it was getting warmer, there would be a lot more home games coming up.
Ken paled slightly, "Maybe at somewhere a little cheaper next time?"
Ai giggled, "Hey, that place was well priced. It's not my fault that Steve ordered the most expensive thing on the menu."
"Next time I'll order something from the kid's menu for him." He stated with malice.
