Thanks for the comments, y'all! Yes, Clark and Rebecca are going on a date, but as you'll see in the next chapter, it's not necessarily a prelude to romance. And there are some parallels, between the movie and this relationship plot, but maybe not the ones some have suggested.
One of my favorite t-shirts (alas, I don't have a visual) is similar to Ann's posted picture, except on the shirt there is an arrow pointing to an otherwise indistinguishable dot on one arm of the Milky Way with the legend, "You Are Here."
Next chapter up very soon! Thanks for reading!
