Characters: Sera & Jenny.
Setting: Campus, Sera's car, and around Blue Ridge. Night of Valentine's Day [February 14th 2012].
Content: SFW.
Summary: Sera plans to take Jenny out on the perfect Valentine's day and birthday date, hoping to win her back.


Sera really still couldn't believe Jenny had actually agreed to go out with her on her birthday. She thought for sure that she would already have plans with Charlie but she definitely wasn't complaining. She couldn't think of any other way she'd rather spend Valentine's Day. She had been a complete idiot to ever push Jenny away in the first place, they were perfect, and she ruined it. Possibly along with any chance of getting her back. Tonight was a good step in the right direction though. Maybe Jenny didn't hate her entirely.

She was definitely glad Max was out of the picture now as well. He probably would have wanted to take her out her or something stupid on Valentine's Day, which really only would have got in the way of her plans. She couldn't just keep dragging him along while she chased after the ex she never stopped loving. It wasn't right. Not that she cared about Max's feelings or anything but it wasn't fair to Jenny. She had been running low on excuses to avoid him. It was just one less thing to worry about.

Wanting to make sure everything was absolutely perfect, Sera had taken a short jaunt into town earlier in the day to pick up a few things, including a new outfit, and a little present for Jenny. She also dropped by their old favorite restaurant just outside of town and made reservations, requesting Jen's favorite table with the best view of the Toccoa River. It was Valentine's Day after all, the restaurant would likely be busy later and she was leaving nothing up to chance. She even took her car to the car wash on the way back to campus. Every detail had to be in place. If she screwed up, she didn't know if she'd ever get another chance.

Getting ready extra early, Sera left her room at exactly six o'clock on the dot. Their reservation was for seven, and she wanted to make sure they had plenty of time to get there. She had Jenny's balloons in one hand and the purple gift box she'd charmed to hold the cookies, perfume, and alcohol-free champagne she'd bought for Jenny in the other. When she reached Jenny's door, she paused and took a deep breath. Fiddling with her bowtie a bit, while holding the box under her arm, she tried not be too nervous. It hit her, all of the panic, just outside of Jenny and Ella's door but she did her best to just brush it off. Why should she be nervous anyway? She'd taken Jenny out almost more times before than she could count.

When she felt like she was ready, pulling out the mirror in her purse to check her hair beforehand, she reached out and knocked gently.
