Alex slides in front of his friend Sweetie, shooting a Zombie that obviously wasn't paying attention to because apparently, she was busy telling him another one of her perverted theories-

Anaya simply had to have lost her virginity to at least one of the Peashooters on her team, Nimi or Lima, Valarie! She just couldn't shake it from her mind- "Sweetie, in case you forgot, we have a garden to defend!" The Zen cactus motions to the garden that was right behind the giant gong,

They were stationed in Zen Peak and Alex was thankful for that. He managed to choose a space that was less open to zombies prying hands. Especially since this flower wasn't paying attention!

"O-Oh!" She spins around before aiming and firing a few of her sunburst it directly at the few brown-coat zombies that were going for the unattended garden. The few sunbursts hit them dead on and their heads pop off right away.

She smiles and turns back to her best friend with a grin.

Alex only rolls his eyes. "Just make sure you're paying attention, we can't afford to lose this one." He begins to scold, "We're on thin ice with Soma, she knew we were listening in on her-!" Sweetie visibly shakes her head and grimaces. "She 'kind of' knows but she didn't actually see us." The sunflower points out as she deploys her heal beam to the Zen cactus before placing a heal flower down for the other teammates they were out here with!

As if on cue, a torchwood come stumbling back towards the garden, exclaiming and swearing under his breath as he stands beside the heal flower. Sweetie glances up, somewhat startled by the shaking of the ground before noticing the Torchwood.

"Are you okay Felix?" Her soft voice rings out and right away, the Torchwood looks up and he gives her the softest look Alex had ever seen on his face in the past month. In Felix's eye, all sorts of flower and sparkles bloom all around her and everything turns a soft pink while bubble float seemingly out of no-where.

It was like a scene straight out of an anime that only the Torchwood could see currently.

Back in reality, Alex can't help but rill his eyes for the millionth time today as the sunflower skips toward him, he almost wants to laugh. Everyone knew he had the world's largest crush on her. A potted plant could tell from a mile away.

"I-I guess, a stupid Brown-coat nicked me good," He hissed, glancing at the large trunk that is his arm for a moment them looking back at Sweetie who brings the flower pot closer to him while Citron rolls up beside Alex. "He doesn't even do a good job at hiding it," The Iron citron bellows loudly which startles Alex to the point where he almost shoots into the freaking air but gravity brings him back down.

"Why," The Zen cactus whimpers, adjusting his hood that fell down over his face a bit. "It's not my fault you are a pus-"

Alex hisses before the decked out orange has the chance to use the profanity.

"Oh, give him a break Mino, he's new." Mino rolls her eye and huffs. "Which explains why he falls for the most perverted Stuffy Face in the Garden." Alex raises an eyebrow, smirking like a goof.

"You sound jealous-"

"Shut up."

"I'm just saying-"

"Finish saying it and I will throw you into infinity." She eyes him and he can almost see the souls from the many others that she's probably throw into infinity. Alex surely wouldn't be the first to go by her wrath.

Alex backs up and swallows nervously. "Yeah, good talk M-Mino, I'm just going to…go over here and avoid that." The Zen cactus quickly scoots over to the other side of the garden, away from the hot tempered orange as she rolls out of the area to look for the last few zombies and Alex happens to catch the last few words sweetie speaks to Felix;

"Just be careful next time, it would seriously suck if we lost you." Sweetie glances at Alex before turning her heal bean towards the cactus and the Torchwood eyes him which a look that almost scares the cactus as much as Mino's threats. But it doesn't last long before he stalks off while the sunflower goes over to the cactus.

"You know he likes me, right?" The sunflower says right away, chuckling a little bit. "Really, I didn't notice with the way he was staring at me when you were walking over here." The cactus rolls his eyes(again) and speaks sarcastically while his sunflower friend laughs louder which makes her leaves shake momentarily.

"It's not like he really has any competition," She shrugs her shoulder, giving a crooked smile. "I am 'single and ready to mingle' as those people in the ads for online dating say."

"Great, why don't you go give him your heal beam and tell that to him?" The Zen cactus says, tossing bedazzled potatoes mines down around the garden along with a couple of Tallnuts. She puffs out her cheeks and crosses her arms, "You know I don't give out my heal beam to just anyone!" Alex looks at the sunflower- that goofy smile from before, returning.

"So I'm special a special Cactussy?" He would've bat his eyelashes if he actually had any.

She suddenly blushes and punches his arm. "OW!" He grabs his injured limb and hisses. "You are incredibly strong for a sunflower, it's unreal!"

"You've been my friend for two years!" She crosses her arms again, her blush fading as quickly as it came. "When I've known him for more than four months, I'll share it with him." She suddenly smiles- "And if he makes a good impression~" She wiggles her eyebrows at her companion cactus who only rolls his eyes for what feels like the 20th time today.

"Sure, Stuffy Face, whatever you say."

Enjoy this brief intermission while I finish working on my other story xD
