It was the question he never wanted to hear. The situation he never wanted to be in. Ofcourse he loved her but, it's so conflicting loving your best friend. Move to fast and you will lose your friend and lover, if you wait alone gutlessly not having the courage to ask the chance will pass you by. So, once this question popped up he paniced.

"Could you walk me home?" Marlene asked looking at the ground to hide a painfully obviouse blush. Not noticing this Skipper blurted out "YES!" a little too loud. You see when it came to girls Skipper wasn't the cool leader he usually was. Meaning he had never came close to having the guts to confess to Marlene how he felt.

The walk to Marlene's habitat was quiet one until Marlene finaly broke the nervous silence. "Soooooo, how was your day?" This was getting them nowhere but it sufficed because the silence was to much to bare. "It was fine. What about yours?" "It was fine." This was his chance, he had to take it. "So Marlene I was wondering if...." "If what?" "If we could well, watch the sunset together tonight?" Marlene's eyes widened with shock, not fully comprehending what was just said. As soon as she realized what she was asked she jumped straight at Skipper a gave him a hug like she practiced it for years. It took him a second to regain his balance but then gave in to Marlene's loving embrace. When the moment subsided the two looked into each others' eyes, this was perfect.

"So tonight?" Marlene asked as if her entire life just flashed before her eyes, which it probably did. "Tonight." Skipper said regaining his usual smirk. As they parted Skipper stopped to watch Marlene go he said "It's a date."

Later that day.

As Skipper walked to the main gate of the zoo atop of which stood the gigantic bell that rung in the morning and evening to meet his date he knew this would go well. They would sit atop the gate and watch the sunset. He was drawn out of his state of thought by the yelling of his name and the sound of paws slapping on the hard concrete. His date had arrived.

"Marlene." he greeted with a warm voice. "He...he..hey." she returned between pants."I saw....you....leaving....and thought....I should.....hurry." "I'm glad you did so you ready?" Skipper stated. Marlene stood up obviously having caught her breath "For what?" The climb." Skipper said pointing to the bell. "Oh." Marlene froze, she was deathly afraid of heights. "Is something wrong Marlene?" Skipper said with a concerned look on his face. Not wanting to ruin the mood Marlene decided it was best to comply."No."

The climb was terrifying, every time she looked down she held in a scream. Then she tripped causing her to shriek. More than ready to help her Skipper grabbed and latched on to Marlene's arm. "It's fine I've got you." Skipper said not able to keep his composure intact and practically shaking. Quickly, he yanked Marlene up to the ledge. To escape looking down and off the ledge and to thank her hero Marlene pulled Skipper into a loving embrace.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Marlene said almost entirely into Skipper's chest. They stayed that way for at least a minute and a half. Finally letting go Marlene looked straight into Skipper's as did Skipper and kissed him.
