Love has its Ups and Downs
Chapter 1
Solving the Problem
Ok. So, this is my first LumpusxDoe story. It has some challenges that lead up to the main conclusion. Along the way, there will be problems that Lumpus will have to solve before Doe will come to realize how he truly feels. Enjoy!
It was a wonderous day at Camp Kidney. The sun was shining bright. The sky is always blue, like it always has. Birds were singing. It was a good day. Today was the day Both Acorn Flats and Camp Kidney, were going on a field trip. Everyone was getting their stuff ready and packed so they could go. However, there was always a problem in preparation in doing so.
"Come on, Samson! Get your stuff ready, were going to be late!" Ping Pong yelled from the outside of their cabin. "Coming!" "We all know how much you need your 'health buddies', but hurry up!" Dave also yelled. Samson finally came out, "Holy Crap guys, you could wait a minute, geez!" They finally went to the bus. Meanwhile, Lazlo, Raj, and Clam were already on the bus, waiting for leave.
"Wow, Guys! We're going to Grand Canyon!" Lazlo said in excitment. "Is that in Arizona?" Raj asked. "Yes, my boy. That's where it is!" "Arizona!" Clam yelled. "It also says that at this time of year, it ranges between 70-120 degrees Fahrenheit! Thats pretty hot compared to here!"Lazlo also informed. "Pretty cool! I cant wait!" Raj added.
Just then, the girls just started to get in the bus. Lumpus, who was in charge of the trip, was making sure that both camps made it to the bus. Slinkman took roll. "Slinkman! Are all the kids on the bus yet?!" "Yes, sir, but for some reason, Jane Doe isnt here yet." Lumpus' heart skipped a beat when he heard that name. He was always was in love for her. But, right now he started to wonder why its taking her so long. "I think im going to find her, and see whats up." Lumpus stated as he left. "Good luck, sir." Slinkman told him.
It only took a second before he saw her trying to lift both of her bags, but were too heavy for her. "Hi, Ms. Doe! Do you need assistance with that?" "Hi, Scoutmaster Lompus! Yes, i do need help with this, its pretty heavy. Im sure a man like you could carry one of these!" "In fact, i would love too." Lumpus grabbed one of her bags and started heading for the bus.
"Glad you found Ms. Doe and helped her sir!" Slinkman complimented Lumpus when they arrived. "Oh, You know me. Just a moose always helping the needy." Lumpus said proudly. Although that wasnt really true about Lumpus, but whatever, he sometimes did on rare occasions. "Ready to go, sir? Everyone is here, and everything is in order." Slinkman asked. "Lets Go!" Lumpus confirmed.
Lumpus, luckily, was sitting by Ms. Doe. With all the campers on both sides are being annoying, and being stupid, It didnt matter to him, because he knew he was sitting by the woman he loves. His secret brought pain to him. He wanted to tell her. But how? When? Where? He didnt know. But with his confidence and patience, that day will come. At the right place, at the right time.
Ms. Doe has absolutley, and obliviously, no clue that Lumpus loves her. She always noticed how nice he was to her. And how thoughtful it was for him to take one of her bags, and escort her to the bus. That was pretty much the same reason why she sat with him. She had the window seat. She just looked out the window to admire the beauty of God's creations, Nature. That was one of the big reasons why she always was, and is the Headmistress of Acorn Flats. She always had a positive attitude about everything. She had a wierd personality, but she always had that loving and caring heart for others, especially Lumpus, but not in a romantic way, just in a friendly way.
Lumpus just stared at the beauty of Ms. Doe. He always liked the way she looked, how she spoke, and how she looked him. Although Jane was busy looking at the outside world, she had no idea Lumpus was looking at her. But since it was the same thing for fifteen minutes now, she got tired of looking for a while. She quickly turned around, but just before she noticed, Lumpus quickly turned away, pretending to mind his own business. Jane just smiled and turned to Lumpus, "Oh, nature is the greatest on this earth, dont you think?" Yes. It is." Lumpus lied, admiring Jane's beauty.
Eventully Ms. doe got tied for boredom, She tried differnt ways of tryong t take a nap. She tried leaning back, it didnt work because of the smalll space she had with all the seats crammed together. She tried leaning againt the window, which also didnt work because of the shaking of the bus and the road. She finally came to a conclusion. She wondered about Lumpus. He looked tall enough to just lay her head on his shoulder for a few minutes. Nothing personal or romantic. She was trying to find a way to ask him, but decided to just ask anyways. "Lompus?" Lumpus turned to her and smiled, "Yess, Ms. Doe?" "I know this is wierd, and odd, but, im just tired and i need to take a nap, so umm, may i just lay my head on your shoulder and sleep for a bit?" Lumpus was shocked. He never had a special moment with her. This was a new thing for him, and it was a opportunity of a lifetime. "Y-Yes, you may." "Thank you". Jane said as she laid her head on his shoulder. It was the perfect napping postion on a bus. Lumpus laid his head on hers, and held her shoulder, But asked, "I hope im not getting in your personnal space, just trying to support you so you wouldnt fall off." "Thats OK Lompos, i just need a few moments." Jane said, being ok with it. Lumpus felt amazed, and he couldnt believe he was hold the girl of his dreams. Even though it wasnt anything personal, he knew that, but he imagined it to be a moment between him and Ms. Doe. A moment he'll never forget.
