Peregrine Falcons Mate For Life
"Did you know that peregrine falcons mate for life?" Carlos asked DA whilst they were studying biology in the library for the upcoming SAT IIs.
"What?" DA asked. It was such a random statement that it took her by surprise.
He repeated, and she nodded, not quite understanding why he asked her that.
He grinned. "3rd grade. One of our last field trips with Ms. Frizzle. Us. Peregrine falcons together."
She blushed, although she did not quite know why.
"I was wondering whether you'd go out with me one day. After the exams," he hastily added.
She smiled. "Why not?"
Author's Note: A drabble is a fic exactly 100 words, no more, no less.
It was a challenge, and I don't know whether it was too OOC, but I thought it was cute. Carlos stating a random fact smoothly as an opening to a rather awkward asking of DA whether she'd go on a date with him.
So review and enjoy!
(I never knew hard it was to say something in less than a 100 words. My Author's Note is almost as long as that!)
