Preston absorbed her words and then sank into him. Only leave him with questions of his own. He had no idea. Was he forbidden to love or was he aloud to have a life. He didn't have any kids or a wife. Really because he and never settled down much less date anyone. He cleared his throat and frowned deeply. "Good question. Why don't we experiment?" he asked. Now he wanted to find a girl for himself. Even though he would still help others find their loves.

Rose looked at him as he said those words. "I don't understand? Do you mean like you want to go out and find girls for yourself?" She asked softly, wondering if that's what he meant, I mean how could he experiment on the matter. She thought. She was curious. "I'll help if you want but I must warn you I'm kind of a clutz and so I might not be the best help at match making you with girls." She said.
Preston huffed. "How about we go out? Me and you and get to know each other since we are random strangers. What are you by the way?" he asked curious himself. He knew he sounded like a nut asking her out on a whim but what the heck? He definitely had nothing to lose. He gave her a charming smile. "I'll make it worth your while."
Rose looked at him wide eyed. She was surprised by his abrupt question. She blushed deeply, stammering. "I-I dunno I mean we barely know each other and...I ... You ... Uh I'm a um witch if you must know." She said trying to wrap her head around this. "I dunno..." She said biting her lip nervously. She'd never dated a perfect stranger, let alone Cupid.
Preston stared at her blush. He had only seen girls get all flustered around their lovers or guys they potentially likes. "please?" he seemed to beg. "I need to know if I can actually love." he didn't know why he was pushing it with this girl. But it seemed right.
Rose cleared her throat awkwardly trying to get her bearings. "Oooh ok." She said softly, defeated. She knew she would regret this in the future somehow, unless something proved her wrong. She sighed and pushed off the ground a little swaying on the swing. "So how will you know if you um...like me or not? Not that I'm questioning you or anything it's just how will you know if your always trying to make other people love each other?" She asked.
Preston leaned against the chain of the swing and tilted his head a bit. Thinking as hard as he could to give her an answer. "We'll just have to see. But I can already tell that I'll like you." he said honestly, smiling at her charmingly before he pushed himself up out of the swing. He sat against the post and gave her a look. "Sometimes all it takes is a connection."
Rose wondered how she would know in fact it kind of excited her yet it scared her at the same time. She blushed again at his words. What was wrong with her today. She looked at him and gulped, her heart rate speeding up dramatically. Oh hell no. This could not be good. "Riiight a connection..." She murmured. "So um where do you come from? Ive always wondered if it was from heaven or from a place that's hidden in the sky or possibly another dimension." She pondered.
Preston ran his fingers through his hair then shoved his hands into his pockets. "Well, ya see, I came from heaven, ironically. I like to think of it as my birth place which it was. They created me to destroy the devil with love." he babbled on as if telling he was no big deal.
Rose nodded and smiled. "Sounds pretty cool, I wonder what heaven looks like... Is it all made out of clouds and gold and stuff?" She asked genuinely curious. Considering she thought he was a myth he seemed pretty cool to be honest. "You know for Cupid you look like a normal guy but with wings of course I thought Cupid was a diaper wearing baby?" She mused.
Preston laughed. "I would be a beautiful diaper wearing baby. But I am not." he said with an amused grin his face. He had to think about what heaven looked like since it had been so long since he had actually been there. "It's actually pretty normal. No clouds. Just like another dimention but more fancy and stuff."
Rose smiled softly, the sound of his laugh was a little mesmorising. "Oh so kind of like a kings palace but brighter looking I suppose. Huh...that's a little disappointing they never put that in the brocher on life after death. Oh well the bouncing on clouds will be a dream then." She said amusement in her eyes.
Preston nodded. "Definitely. But heaven is worth everything. Is so beautiful and those who get the opportunity to go will love every ounce of it." he said with a light playful smile. There was a connection or a click of soemthing that had brought him this way. "What about you? You don't have warts on your face or pointy shoes and a pointy hat?"
Rose laughed at his image of a witch. "Touché I suppose. That stereo type was brought on because one witch disguised herself as an old women and then after that she was found and drowned, hence for the masks on Halloween but why they chose green for a witch ill never know." She said frowning softly. "So you really have bows and arrows?" She asked. "Do you sing loves songs around lovers or is that another myth?"
Preston loved how they were getting to actually know something about each other which would make this experience even more better. "oh I sing love songs." and he broke or singing. Before it died out. "See, I love love songs. And I do have a bow and arrow." he said with a smile
Rose smiled listened to his brief song. He sounded really nice almost hypnotizing. It was intriguing to know that she was about to date Cupid. "Huh, well I must ask but isn't it cheating if you shoot someone with an arrow so that they love someone else? Wouldn't it be better if you kept putting them together until they started loving each other?" She asked. "But then again that might be slow if your trying to defeat demons." She said frowning.
"There has to be attraction. In fact they see each other a ton before i shoot them. Or if I can see the attraction between them then I shoot them. But there is a connection." Preston said honestly. He kept smiling. Just trying to be all… happy man.
Rose smiled at the thought. "Oh we'll that doesn't sound so much like cheating I suppose it's like giving them a nudge." She said as she started to swing a little more. "So Mr...uh acctually what is your name?" She asked wondering if he just stuck to Cupid all the time.
Preston cocked his head a little with a quick chuckled. "Preston. I go by Preston in this day and age. You young miss?" he asked, biting his lip as he stared at her. She seemed very nice and he was actually way excited. Already planning dates.
Rose smiled warmly and nodded. "Preston..." She said the name rolling off of her tongue. It was a nice name. "Oh my name is Rose." She said softly. She wasn't fond of her name though, a little cheesy. The fact they named her that because of the rose birth mark she had was pathetic, they couldn't be more unique. But then again she was at an orphanage and she was used to it. "So Mr Preston when do you want to go on this experimental date?" She asked.
Preston decided past moment to sit on the swing. He gently swayed back and forth. "Are you free now miss Rose?" he asked curiously. He fingers wrapped around the chains as he finally it t a little more effort and began to actually swing.
Rose thought about it for a minute and looked at her watch seeing class was over. She looked up at him and smiled, nodding. "Yeah I'm free now, where do you want to go, I unfortunately don't go out side of school much so I don't know any restaurants." She said sheepishly.
Preston chuckled softly. "Frankly neither do I. So I say we just wing it. Get it… wing…" he trailed off with a nice color of red to his cheeks. He sighed softly. "I'm warning you now I can be a dork."
Rose chuckled lamely at his sweet joke. "Ys very funny, it was puntastic." She teased sweetly, seeing him blush. He looked rather cute when he blushed. "Dork shmork. At least your not a dorky clutz." She mumbled biting her lip insistently. She was a little worried, she was still training and if her emotions got a little intense her magic would spaz out and who knows what would happen.
Preston gave her a little eye roll and stood up to take her hand in his. "So what. I thinking klutzy people are in my forté because I happen to find them amazing. Not that I don't find everything amazing." he tiled his head. "It's all good. Just rememeber that."
Rose blushed softly as he took her hand, standing up herself. "Well at least you find klutz's amazing my mother is always complaining about it." She grumbled as she walked with him. She didn't know how he could be so upbeat all the time, but then again he was Cupid. "I will." She replied. "So what now? Do you go on the hunt for a restaurant or do something else?" She asked.
Preston raised his eyebrow and tilted his head a little. "I think their should be some places that are easy… I don't know. We could go off campus and see what's there?" he asked, gazing up at her like he was adoring her which he was.
Rose smiled softly and nodded in agreement. "Ok hunting for a restaurant it is." She said as she realised he was still holding her hand or was she holding his either way she blushed deeply and gently let go a little embarrassed. What was she doing! She knew going out with Cupid was going to be a bad idea. (( where to ?))
(( sure thing do you wanna start ? ))

Cab walked onto the playground wearing a frown because he was bored.
Mod
Can looked up at the girl with a strange look. "You okay?" he asked . Normally strangers didn't approach him.
Devon walked around while holding her sandals, her toes dug into the sand. She sighed and looked around.

Angel walked into the playground instantly heading towards the basketball court.
Ari ran to the court, grabbing a basketball off the rack. "1 on 1?" She asked, dribbling the ball.
Ari grinned, too, dribbling to the half line. "Check."
Angel nodded and came up to her smirking, "You sure that you can take me on?"
Ari nodded. "Of course I can." She passed it to him with a bounce pass.
"Hmph." He took the ball and dribbled it in place
Ari rolled her eyes. "We are checking you idiot. Pass it back."
He blushed but nodded passing it back to her.
