Summary: An anthro version of what happened on the titular date. Wikipedia uses brackets for everything in a manner reminiscient of A Beautiful Mind and TV Tropes is a massive Tsundere with an inconsistent-as-hell personality. Fluff. Dashed off this morning under the influence of a certain other TT/WP fic.

Wikipedia woke up that morning and, looking around the room, did not feel entirely ordinary. Something was out of place, some faint thing out of order in the pristine cell he called a [[bedroom]].

After about three minutes, he realized that the [[lamp]] was in fact merely a [[lampshade]] lying upon the [[blue]] [[hair]] of [[Trope (literature)|trope]][[Moe anthropomorphism|-tan]]. "Oh, [[Minced oath|bother]]," he muttered.

TV Tropes sighed and took the lampshade off her head. "You aren't going to GoshDangItToHeck again, are you? Please don't, Wikipe-tan."

Wikipedia gritted his [[teeth]]. "I told you, Trope-tan, that's my baby sister. She's a completely different person. Wikipe-tan lives at [[Wikipedia:Wikipe-tan]], while my home is [[Wikipedia]]."

TV Tropes laughed and rolled her [[eye]]s. "Please. The {{honorifics}}' just to mess with you. You're a better {{Bishonen}}, really." She giggled.

"Grammatical flaw," Wikipedia pointed out. "With the [[apostrophe]]."

Trope-tan scoffed. "Please. WeAreNotWikipedia. It's not like I care."

There was a moment of silence; then...

"Why," Wikipedia slowly asked, "are you in my room?"

TV Tropes paled and put up her [[hand]]s defensively. "StalkingIsLove! [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Stalking Is Love]]!"

"It most certainly is not," he insisted.

She sighed and stepped off of the lampstand. "All right. The truth is... I want to be a part of TheOtherWiki. Just, just a little bit..."

Wikipedia raised an eyebrow. "I believe you'd call that concept a [[Tsundere]]?"

Trope-tan grinned. "{{Tsundere}}. But that was a clever one." she grew more somber. "We're more alike than you know. Look..."

She took his left hand with her own. "See? Your ring finger is a little too long, just like mine, and I know you have that same limp in your right leg."

"How did you k-"

"[[MST3KMantra Don't think too hard about it]]," she said hurriedly. "The point is, we have a lot in common; we share many of the same fans. That's why... that's why I'd like to think I'm notable. EverythingIsNotable; I know you are, I know I gave you at least a kilobyte... God, I feel so ridiculous saying all this!"

He put his hand on her [[lips]]. "I know what you mean."

TV Tropes blinked repeatedly. "Really? YouKnowWhatIMean, or is this just a ShutUpKiss?"

There was a pregnant pause as Wikipedia swallowed his pride; but he managed to say, "I think you're TroubledButCute. And -- and a {{Dojikko}} in the best way possible. And I don't care about your ApologyPathology because I... I..."

She grinned and threw her arms around him, with a quick peck on the [[forehead]]. "Oh, you do care! That's the best GrudgingThankYou I've ever heard! We'll live HappilyEverAfter now, and I'll talk like a [[MediaWiki]] user if it'll make you happy! Would you like to perform a [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]]? Oh, or maybe we can expand [[Wikipedia:Stub]]s!"

Wikipedia smirked. "I've got a very special article I've been planning to review for a long time..."

Trope-tan's jaw dropped. "You mean-?"

"Mid-importance in WikiProject:Internet Culture. Currently stub-class, but I have very high hopes for it."
