"Rex, we are so CLOSE!" yelled Trixie. Rex just smiled and laughed. Trixie was a cute, high spirited dinosaur, but Rex didn't have the guts to tell her about his feelings. Well, of course, he didn't have guts, (probably because he was made of hollow plastic).
And they were pre-school toys for crying out loud, how could they go out? Rex quickly changed his gaze from Trixie to the computer screen. She was right; they were close to beating 'Princess saves the castle 2', they only had to ride the flying dragon through the crumbling cave. When they finally finished flying out of the cave, the dragon soared through the air, green scales gleaming. Trixie watched in awe. 'I wish MY scales were shiny like that' thought Rex 'then maybe she would look up to me like that'. Rex rubbed his plastic scales that were really just unusually shaped bumps. Rex sighed. Trixie turned to him and said, "Why so sad? We just beat 'Princess saves the castle 2', and Bonnie's older sister is buying number 3. I thought you were excited." "I am," said Rex "It's just that…" he stopped suddenly, thinking about how stupid that would sound if he said 'I'm jealous of that dragon'. Trixie coughed, and Rex snapped out of his thoughts. "Never mind. It's ok. I'm ok." "Okay, what ever you say." Trixie said, as she trotted away. She turned around once to wink at Rex. He just got a dreamy look and waved good-bye.
"So you like her?" asked a voice. Rex was startled when he turned around to see Woody. "How long were you here?" asked Rex, embarrassed. "Ever since she winked at you." Woody replied. Rex's face got red. "It's ok if you like her. I think she likes you too." Buzz added, joining the conversation "I heard Trixie say she crushed on you one night when they were having a slumber party under the couch." "But how did you know that they were having a sleepover under the couch!" Rex yelled waving his tiny arms in the air. "Settle down" Woody said placing a hand on Rex's shoulder. "Bonnie took me down there, and left me on the coffee table." Buzz explained, "And I was creeping down from the couch when I saw a light under it. I quickly climbed back up. I heard them giggling, and then one of them asked, 'Let's tell each other what our crushes are' and that's when I heard Trixie say, 'I think I like Rex.'." Rex immediately started yelling, "And what else did they say about me!" "Rex, calm down." Buzz said softly, "And I'll tell you." Rex stopped and sat down. "Good," Buzz began. He told how after Trixie told her crush to the small group, a few of the girls piped about how that was a good crush, and how Rex was sensitive, funny, and cute. Other girls claimed that they wished that they had claimed a crush on him first. Lucky for Buzz, they didn't get into a cat fight. Instead they told the rest of there crushes, and then they fell asleep.
"Really?" asked Rex, "I never thought a girl would ever like me, let alone a few." "I hope Bo said she didn't like Rex." Woody said with a disgusted look on his face. "Don't worry, sheriff, she didn't." Buzz said, "But my Jessie did." "I'm so sorry!" Rex exclaimed, "I don't want to make any of you jealous." "It's ok" Started Buzz, "I bet she has a lot of crushes on other toys. Right Woody" he said as he punched the sheriff in the arm playfully. "Aw, don't get started." Woody angrily, blushing a little "That was just when we first met. Nothing happened after that. We are just friends now."
"Go on" said Buzz, pushing Rex towards where Trixie was. "Go ahead and tell her how you feel." Woody encouraged. "But what if she doesn't like me back?" Rex whispered nervously, "I saw her break up with 'Volacastar237' last week." Woody said, trying to keep up hope for his friend. "Are you sure?" Rex said, as his voice got a little squeaky. "Yes," added Buzz "We saw it with our very own, painted eyes. Now go and tell her." Rex took little baby steps, until buzz came behind him, and pushed him forward. Rex stumbled a little, and then turned around to see his smiling friends. He smiled back, and took a few steps to where Trixie was sitting on a cushion. He smiled and asked, "May I sit next to you?" Trixie turned around and grew a big smile on her face. She excitedly patted the seat next to her. She quickly turned her gaze from Rex to the TV screen, and pressed Y and X at the same time. She had jumped over Zurg and fired her laser at the same time. "Wow Trixie. I've never been able to beat that part." Rex explained "Because of my tiny arms." Trixie turned to see Rex waving his little arms up and down. She giggled, and continued. Rex scooted a little closer, and asked, "I heard you broke up with Volacastar237 last week." Trixie paused the game, and turned her head to Rex. "How did you know?" Rex stopped to think about it. "I uh… Just heard that's all I did, is just hear" "Who told you?" said Trixie, with a dark look on her face. "Uhhh…. No, uh, I just…" "Well isn't that cute!" She said with a smile "You spied on my conversations so you could just see if I'd broke up with him yet." She moved closer, and kissed Rex on the nose. His face got dark red, and he started to feel dizzy.
He could hear Trixie's voice say, "Rex? Rex? Rex, can you hear me?" even though he couldn't see or move, he managed to squeeze out a little, "uh huh…." He felt something on his chest… Trixie! He kept telling himself to snap out of this darkness, so he could enjoy this moment. He slowly opened one eye. He was soon returning the embrace that Trixie was giving. "So uh… what happened?" Trixie giggled as she explained that after she had kissed him, he fainted. He was out for about 4 minutes.
"Wow, that's the shortest time I've ever been out." Rex said. Trixie just smiled and giggled. "So… Do you want to…" Rex was quickly cut off by Trixie "Go out? Of course I would. I love a sweet dinosaur like you." Trixie finished. Rex turned redder in the face than green. "Let's go play some 'Buzz Lightyear'" Trixie said. Rex smiled, and trotted over with Trixie to the controllers. This would be the start of a great relation ship.
