I do not own Rocky and Bullwinkle. I can claim an OC. Please forgive me if there are any severe and blatantly obvious typos and grammatical errors. This first chapter was written on a word processor that has no grammar check, so if I make a mistake, I won't notice it right away. I know that this first chapter is kind of short. However, for a chapter so short, it's life changing for a certain flying squirrel. I like Rocky and Bullwinkle. It would appear that I like shows from before my time. It would also appear that I love shows with cute squirrels as main characters. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Belinda

It was just an average day in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. In a small house for two lived Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose, two longtime best friends and roommates. Rocket, better known by his nickname, Rocky, shouted to Bullwinkle, "Bullwinkle, I'm heading out to the store! I'll be back soon!"

"Okay!" Bullwinkle shouted back. Rocky opened the front door and left the house. Closing the door, he leapt into the air and started gliding into the town he loved so much.

Just then, a moment that would change Rocky's life forever hit him like a ton of bricks. He collided into something else airborne, and he and the something went down. After regaining his senses, Rocky rubbed his sore head and groaned. A feminine voice apologized, "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Rocky looked up into the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. He was gazing into the eyes of a beautiful female squirrel. She had light brown fur. She wore a pilot's hat and goggles, ones just like the ones Rocky wore, only this hat and these goggles were pink.

"N-no, it's fine. I'm the one who should be apologizing. I'm sorry for crashing into you," Rocky claimed and got up. He was blushing. This female was the most beautiful squirrel that Rocky had ever seen in his life. "By the way, my name is Rocky! What's yours?"

"I'm Belinda. Nice to meet you, Rocky," the girl squirrel replied. She shook his hand, or rather his paw, and his blush went from plain old red right to a deep crimson.

"N-nice to meet you, too," Rocky managed to stammer. "Belinda is a beautiful name."

"Thanks!" Belinda giggled. "Rocky is a pretty cute name, too!"

"Thanks," Rocky thanked her. He didn't think his blush could get redder until it did. "It's short for Rocket. Rocket J. Squirrel."

"I can see why they call you that. I didn't even see you until we collided," Belinda remarked.

"I'm really sorry about that," Rocky apologized again. "So you're a flying squirrel, too?"

"Yep," Belinda nodded proudly. Rocky smiled. Belinda seemed so full of energy and life. She acted sweet hearted and was very, very adorable and attractive to the eyes of any other squirrel or squirrel fanatic.

"I want to make it up to you. I'll walk you to my house if you want. I think my best friend, Bullwinkle, would like you," Rocky offered. He was somewhat nervous. Was he rushing things? He didn't really know. He never really had feelings for girls before, let alone feelings so…strong.

"That's very sweet of you, Rocky. I'd be glad to meet your friend," Belinda smiled. And so, Rocky took her to his humble abode.

"Bullwinkle, I'm home! And we have company!" Rocky called out to Bullwinkle and guided Belinda in.

"This is a really nice little house," Belinda admired Rocky's home.

"Did you go to the store?" Bullwinkle called back to Rocky.

"I kind of forgot! I met a new friend on the way there!" Rocky reported. "Please come out and meet her!"

Bullwinkle emerged from a closet filled with a fraction of his box top collection. He greeted, "Hello, there. And who might you be?"

"My name is Belinda. And I take it that you're Bullwinkle?" Belinda guessed.

Bullwinkle knelt down next to Rocky and whispered in his ear, "I think you brought home a mind reader." Rocky smiled at his companion's comment.

"You two get along really well, don't you?" Belinda smiled and asked curiously.

"Yep. Like two jackhammers in a pod," Bullwinkle answered proudly.

Not wanting to respond about Bullwinkle's reply, Belinda said, "Lucky. I don't really have any friends. I live all by myself."

"We'll be your friends!" Rocky immediately exclaimed. "That is…if you want us to." He gently took her paw with his and said to her, "I would love to be your friend."

"Thanks, Rocky! You're so sweet!" Belinda smiled and kissed his cheek. "I don't mean to leave so soon, but I really should be heading home. See you again sometime?"

"Y-yeah. Absolutely!" Rocky nodded excitedly, blushing again.

"Great!" Belinda beamed at him and left his home. She closed the door and sighed. Then, she started flying home.

Inside the house, Bullwinkle remarked, "I hope I'm not becoming a third antler if you know what I mean."

"Hokey smoke," Rocky swooned. He just found his first crush.

Will our favorite squirrel ever tell Belinda how he feels? Has Rocky truly found love? Will Bullwinkle become a third wheel?

Bullwinkle: I heard that! Will I?
