Atem tapped his chin in thought. He remembered he never showed Angela the carvings of the three Egyptian God monsters, but decided that could wait for some other time. He got the most important things out of the way. "No, everything is covered in terms of places to go, but I do have some news I neglected to tell you. And it's excellent news, so no need to give yourself a heart attack worrying."

She giggled. "That's good to hear." She came a little closer, but not too close. "Do you want to tell me here, in the car, or when we get back to the house?"

Atem chuckled a little. "I shall tell you here. It is something Yugi would want to know as well." He drew in a deep breath before announcing, "I have found a job position in Research. There is an opening for Ancient Civilizations and I am expected to attend a meeting on Friday afternoon at four thirty."

Angela gasped and, before she could stop herself, hugged Atem. "Oh Atem, I'm so happy for you!"
Grandpa grinned. "Fine work, my boy. I hope you get the position! Just mention you're a find of mine...many of the researchers here know me and they'll treat you right."
Yugi smiled. "That's wonderful, Atem."
Angela suddenly realized she was hugging Atem, let go with a squeak. "S-Sorry. So, um, I-I can take you on Friday. Unless Yugi wants to..."

Although Atem wasn't exactly the affectionate type, he had to admit to loving Angela's hug. It made him feel so nice and warm. Though flustered at first, he gave her back."Thank you all for the support, I appreciate it. I will definitely keep that in mind."
"N-no it's fine," Yugi stuttered. "You can take him. If there is a time where you're not able to, he will know what to do."
"I most certainly do, Yugi," Atem said to his little friend.

Angela smiled, and then blushed when her stomach growled. "Oh dear...seems it's lunch time already.''
Grandpa brust out laughing. "Well, Yugi and I must get back to the shop."
"Oh? What kind of shop do you run?" Angela asked.
"A Game Shop."
"Really? I'll have to stop by...we need some new board games for the Game Room at the clinic. A few of the ones we have are falling to pieces."
Grandpa bowed. "Then we'll await your visit, my dear." He turned to Yugi. "Come along, Yugi. We best be off."
Angela waved good-bye as they left. "So would you like to go out for lunch, Atem? Or should we go home and make sandwiches?"

Atem couldn't really say, considering he went with the flow for the most part. Although he was usually a stay-at-home--to-eat-unless-there-was-a-special-occasion kind of person half of the time he had resolved to try and get out more, since he would have to if he got the position. "I would love to try this restaurant you have in mind."

"Oh? Alright, let's go." She walked beside the pharaoh. "I think you'll like it. It's right by the lake, and you can watch people pass by in their boats. Or see people walking along the shore."
They left the Museum and got into her car. Before they pulled out, Angela remembered the cookies and put the box in her lap. "Before we go there, should we have at least one? They're bound to be warm from being in the car."

'Hmmm..a restaurant by the lake? Sounds rather romantic..but I like it,' was what went through Atem's mind whilst he walked with Angela. The perfect place to share a kiss. He found himself hoping that would happen in the future, although it had just been two days. The entire time they were leaving the museum, and when he was trying to refrain from having that train of thought. 'I would frighten her away if I told her such things.' Though he suspected there must be something there, based on how affectionate she was with him. He snapped out of it, though when he realized she was asking him about trying the cookies. "Of course," he managed to answer.

Angela choose a shortbread cookie with strawberry jam filling. "I'm glad Chris gave us these." She took a bite and smiled. "Mmm! It's just as good as I remember!" She held out the box to Atem. "Which one do you want to try? Jam filled Shortbread or Peanut butter with Chocolate chips?"

"Hmm." Atem put on his best decisive face before reaching for the peanut butter with chocolate chip. He took a bite out of it and gave an Mmmm sound, showing he approved. He nibbled down the rest and just as he had finished, a bird landed on the windshield, leaving dirt on it. He tensed up a bit, feeling leery of birds ever since that experience with them on his little "date" with Tèa.

"That's odd..." Angela muttered. "Ravens shouldn't be up this far for another month." She rolled down her window and made a shooing motion with her hand. "Go on...shoo. Back to your friends, now."
The raven gave a loud 'caw' before taking off, while losing a few feathers.
"Well that was weird." She thought, before starting to pull out of the parking lot. As they left, Angela cleared her throat. "I remember you said you like burgers, and the place we're going to has the best. In my Godpa's opinion at least. Although he's more of a steak lover...as well as anything from our homeland. I should make you some of them sometime." She cracked a grin. "Of course that depends on if you'd like to try any...I won't force you."
The car soon pulled up to the building which had steps leading down to the lake. "Here we are, Atem."

Atem relaxed and looked relieved when Angela got rid of the ravens, holding back a shudder, for they gave him the creeps ever since his first encounter with them.He couldn't help laughing at her way of shooing them off. His stomach rumbled slightly when she mentioned the burger place.'Silence, you.' He could see how unsure about whether she should make him steak or not. He couldn't have her thinking he was some prissy ruler who demanded the finer things in life or was bratty. "It's all right, really..you are not forcing me..I have actually had it quite often during my reign as pharaoh in Egypt..particularly at banquets. " He realized he would have to show her how down to earth he was. He smiled a bit when they got to the place as he was curious to see how much better it was than Burger World. He unfastened his seatbelt, opened the door to climb out so he could wait for her.

Angela led the way to the restaurant's doors, and thanked a couple; who were leaving, when they held the door open for her and her companion.
The inside of the restaurant had wooden floors, booths, tables and chairs. Green lamps were on the ceiling and some of the walls had pictures of boats or things from the shore like dry wood, fresh water shells, etc. There was also an arcade game in the waiting area, where a few kids were playing.
"Table for two, please." Angela told the male waiter at the front.
"Of course, miss. This way."
He led them to a booth by a window and handed them their menus. "A server will be with you in a moment. Hope you enjoy your stay."
"Thank you." Angela replied before opening her menu. "Everything looks so good. It'll be hard to choose what to have...although I'm tempted to have either the Chili Burger or Cheese Steak sandwich. What about you?"

"Thank you." Atem took a seat and picked up the menu. "Hmm..excellent question." He skimmed all the choices and saw that Angela told no lie when she said how hard it would be to choose. He was scanning the list for just an old fashioned cheeseburger, but there were other tempting choices as well. But then he didn't want anything that was so messy it would be hard to eat in a dignified manner. He smiled a little when he saw a milkshake was one of the choices for beverages as he was sort of craving one after having ate one of the cookies. He glanced up at the brunette. "A normal cheeseburger will do."
