I didn't think I would do another Doug x Connie story so soon, especially since I'm still on the suggestion for bkno on Deviantart. HOWEVER, after rewatching the one episode of Doug called "Doug's A Big Fat Liar", this germ of an idea just gave me inspiration. Basically, what would have happened if Doug had just not been paying attention, and his thoughts were still on Patti when Connie was still talking. Well, here's the first chapter that might have given results. Anyway, enjoy!

In Bluffington School, Connie Benge was taking a deep breath as she looked up towards the poster that read 'Bumpkin Day Hoe Down'. She sighed as she looked down in disappointment. She wanted to go to that dance so bad, and yet, all the choices she wanted to make, other girls had already asked. Well... save for one choice. The boy she considered the sweetest and cutest in her class... Doug Funnie. She sighed happily at the thought of Doug dancing with her. She didn't know whether or not Doug would say yes, but she had to try anyway. All she had to do was find him.

Not a few minutes later, and there he was, standing in the middle of the hall, seemingly waiting for someone. She took a deep breath, practicing her lines in her head... once she finished, she walked over and tapped Doug on the shoulder as Doug turned to her. She smiled a bit as she seemed to have gotten his attention. "Doug, today is your lucky day! I have selected you to go with me to the Bumpkin Day Hoedown!"

"H-huh?" Doug blinked as he turned to Connie fully.

Connie paused as she blushed a bit. Maybe she was a little too forward with asking, but she kept going anyway. "Chalky, Boomer and Skunky have been dying for me to ask them, but you're my first choice!"

Doug blinked a few times in confusion, as if he didn't hear what Connie said. Connie blushed as she said, "I guess what I'm trying to say is, will you be my date?"

"What? Oh, uh, sure, Connie, I-" Doug started.

Connie then let out a gasp of delight and hugged Doug, surprising him. "Oh thank you, Doug! You just made me happy."

"H-huh?" Doug's eyes widened in shock as he turned towards an approaching Patti and Beebe, who seemed to be occupied talking to each other at the moment.

"I was a little worried, but you know, I feel so happy! I promise, you won't regret it, Doug." Connie smiled as she let go of Doug.

Doug's eyes widened in shock as he looked over at Connie with a worried expression. It was right then and there that Patti approached Doug with a smile, "Hey Doug! Would you like to go the Hoe Down with me?"

Connie winced a bit as she turned to Patti. "Oh, sorry, Patti. You just missed out. Doug already agreed to go to the Hoe Down with me."

"I did?" Doug's eyes shrank.

Patti looked a little disappointed, but smiled as she turned to Doug. "Oh, well. I'm happy for you two. Doug, I'm sure you're going to be a good dance partner for Connie."

She then whispered in his ear. "Take good care of her. I'm sure she'll need the motivation."

Doug just blinked in confusion as Patti turned to Connie. "Well, I guess I'll go around and see if there's someone else I can ask."

"Sorry, Patti." Connie said.

"No, it's okay. I can find someone else, no big deal." Patti smiled as she started to go off.

Doug then smiled nervously as he called to Patti, "Oh, I'm sure there are tons of guys dying to go with you."

Patti gave a smile towards Doug before waving and leaving as Doug turned to Connie, Connie giving a smile as she continued, "Anyway, thanks for being my date, Doug. You have no idea how relieved I am."

"Believe me, it's no trouble at all." Doug smiled nervously. "Shall I pick you up on Saturday at six?"

"That sounds like a plan to me." Connie giggled as she started to go off. "See you later, Doug."

"Bye." Doug waved as Connie turned the corner. Once she was sure no one was looking, she gave a quiet cheer to herself as she pumped her arm. She never thought she'd live to see the day, but the boy she loved agreed to go out with her on a date!

"What were you thinking saying yes to Connie?" Skeeter said as he and Doug were going out of school together. "I thought you said you were going to wait for Patti to approach you."

"I did! But then Connie tapped me on the shoulder and... I didn't pay attention to what she was saying." Doug said shamefully. "And now, look at me. I'm going out with a different girl who's not Patti to the Hoe-Down. Maybe I'd have been better off not going."

Skeeter frowned a bit as he said, "You'd be leaving one disappointed girl."

Doug groaned. "I suppose you're right. I don't want to have Connie's sad face in my nightmares..."

"So, what are you going to do, Doug?" Skeeter asked in curiosity. "I mean, what do you know about Connie?"

Doug stopped a bit as he paused to think. "What do I know about Connie? Well, I know she's one of Patti's friends... she's always nice and helpful to us... and... and..."

The black haired boy groaned. "That's really all I know about her."

"Well... maybe what you should do this week is get to know her a little more. At least talk about her interests before the Hoe Down. That way, you can still make this date work. Besides, it's only one date. I'm sure you won't be able to screw it up." Skeeter honked.

"Skeeter..." Doug turned to his blue friend... before taking a breath. "You're right. Before the Bumpkin Day Hoe Down, I'm going to sit down and... get to know Connie more!"

With that said, Doug spotted the green skinned heavy-set girl coming out of the school as he turned to his friend, "Here she comes now. Wish me luck, Skeeter."

Doug started to run off as Skeeter took a deep breath. "Good luck, man... though I have a strange feeling that things are about to change..."

Little did anybody know was that this little bout was the beginning of a cute little romance between Doug Funnie and Connie Benge.

And with that, the first chapter is done! How did you guys like it? There will be more Doug x Connie to come, so don't miss out! And don't worry, the dance will be brought up sometime soon, so keep your eyes peeled! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
