(a/n: Hey guys, this is my first story in Fanfiction! Please enjoy!)
As usual, it was a bright day in Bluebell. Our main protagonist, Phillip, a newcomer, was doing a request for Laney. He has this.. sparking.. interest for her.
"Don't you have a request?" Phillip asked, starting a conversation.
"I have one," she nodded and giggled softly at Phillip's enthusiasm.
"Really?!" He asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, it's a bit hard. Are you okay with that?" She hesitated
"What's so hard?" He asked nonchalantly.
"It's quite hard. It's for tomorrow, you see" she explained and sighed.
"I see." He nodded
"You're lucky today. This request is a bit easier than usual."
"Oh.. Um.. Okay then," Phillip looked at the ground dissapointed.
He went to the request board and accepted Laney's request, which was due to tomorrow. He took the request paper and headed back to Laney. He read it on the way. It said:
Laney's request:
I'm gonna take you to a tour of the surrounding hills.
It's gonna be fun.
Kinda like a mini date.
Requested item:
Milk
Reward: Tour of the Hills
"Whoa! Really?" His eyes glimmered as he approached her.
"No, I wasn't the one who wrote the 'date' part," she sighed, giving glares to her dad, who was quite oblivious to what was going on.
"Well then, I'll give you some milk then, it's not really important to me," Phillip said, handing her a quite big bottle of milk, in a somewhat heroic gesture.
"Thank you!" She jumped and hugged Phillip violently. He fell down on the ground. Not realizing the milk has slipped from his grip during the hug.
"UH-OH! THE MILK!"
He jumped up, his hands reaching out to the air in a vain attempt to catch it.
"Huh? Phillip?" She asked puzzled before looking above to find that her milk did a somersault and gravity won on the bottle's cap.
It came off and some of the milk spilled. Coincidently, Grady was passing by in a hurry.
"Mr. Grady! Watch out!" Laney jumped away to catch the bottle.
But it was too late. The milk fell and bounced off Grady's flexible tummy (no offense Grady!). All of seemed to happen in slow motion. Magically, the bottle landed on the ground, barely missing Laney, perfectly upright. And, magically again, the cap magically appeared and magically capped itself back on.
Both Phillip and Laney fell in surprise. And, surprisingly again, she ended up on top of Phillip, which sent her blushing madly. Phillip's face also flushed.
*technical difficulties*
After recovering from 'the fall', Laney continued like nothing had ever happened, unlike Phillip who took it ever so seriously.
"That was a close one," he finally said, having recovered from the mess before.
"Aaaw! The cap's broken! That means I gotta drink this now shouldn't I... I wanted to save some for Cam.." Laney muttered, walking back home.
Awkward moments always turn into laughter (or so I say), so they laughed it all off. Even Grady who was busy, took part in the laughing bundle. All the frenziness that happened that day, was packed in a bag of laughs.
