First Date was the second of three parallel works to be released in late summer 2006. It was also the first fanfic ever published on the Rescue Rangers Headquarters story board as a birthday present for Live2dream. The story is almost entirely told from Chip's point of view, albeit in third person.

Synopsis

1990, about four weeks after the events of Good Times, Bat Times. The love triangle between Chip, Dale and Gadget is broken up since Foxglove has taken Dale out of it. Chip has realized this when the Rescue Rangers went on a night out without Dale because he had a date with Foxglove. Furthermore, he realizes that his way to Gadget's heart seems to be free, now that the competition between the chipmunks is gone. So he takes the next step and asks Gadget for a date.
