Fred pulled off his monster beenie and combed his hair down neatly- well as neatly as he could. It was late Friday night, and he was heading to the nerd lab. He'd been waiting all week for this day. Why? It was the night that GoGo would be the only one at the lab. So he could finally tell her the thing he'd been waiting to tell her for weeks.
GoGo was getting really frustrated with her dumb bike. She'd been working on it for months now, but it still wasn't fast enough. It was almost nine, and completely dark outside. GoGo retrieved the wrench she'd thrown across the room a few minutes ago and tossed it onto the tool table. She knew Wasabi wouldn't be happy about that but she honestly didn't care at that moment. Digging the lab keys from her backpack, she pulled the door shut behind her and locked it, turning the hall lights off as she passed.
Fred pulled up in front of the lab, pulling the keys from his car and looking up at the lab windows. They were dark. He'd missed her. He got out of the car, figuring he might as well go to the cafe beside the lab and get some sugar filled food. Crossing the street quickly and splashing in puddles as he walked, Fred headed toward the cafe. He opened the door for the girl coming out, only to see that it was GoGo.
"Fred? What're you doing here?" GoGo asked.
"Oh, uh I left something at the lab and I was going to get it but I figured it was all locked up since the lights were off." Fred stuttered.
"I have my keys, want me to go in with you?" GoGo asked, digging through her backpack.
"No, that's okay. It can wait til tomorrow. Wanna have some coffee or something?" Fred asked, gesturing towards the cafe.
"Uh you don't like coffee, but okay." GoGo shrugged.
After maybe twenty minutes, they left the cafe. Fred walked GoGo to her car through the pouring rain that had started. He'd been to scared to tell her what he'd been meaning to, and it looked like he'd missed his chance.
"Uh, GoGo? Can I tell you something?" Fred said nervously.
They paused under the awning of one of the small street shops near where GoGo was parked.
"Um well for a while now since after the whole Yokai incident and everything I feel like we've all grown kinda closer together and it made me realize that well I think I might sort of like you know have uh would do you say I don't know like a crush but you know with everything happening I didn't know how to tell you how much I think that I you know like you and-" Fred stumbled over his words.
GoGo rolled her eyes and grabbed his shirt, pulling him down so they were face to face. She glared at him for a second, then kissed him hard on the lips.
A moment later, she pushed him away and got into her car, cheeks glowing. "You idiot." she mumbled before driving off.
Fred stumbled against the wall behind him dizzily, eyes wide. "Wh-wait a second. What just happened? Am I dreaming?"
On Monday, Fred caught GoGo walking down the hall to the lab. "Hey GoGo!" She stopped as he caught up with her.
"So uh, about what happened the other night..." GoGo began awkwardly, looking at the floor. Fred cut her off with a kiss. GoGo ended up on her tiptoes so she could reach him, but Fred was still bending down a bit.
The lab door opened and Hiro stepped into the hallway, only to freeze when he saw Fred and GoGo. Luckily they didn't notice him, so he closed the door silently and ran to tell the others what he'd walked in on.
When GoGo and Fred finally pulled apart and went into the lab, they found Honey, Hiro, and Wasabi perched on the couch and looking at them expectantly. GoGo flushed and marched across the lab. Fred, however, sat on the coffee table beside the couch and told the gang everything.
When he was done, Honey squealed and ran to find GoGo. Hiro fake gagged and Wasabi just looked astounded. A minute later, Honey came back in, dragging GoGo with one hand and her phone in the other. She practically threw GoGo at Fred, who caught her and put her back on her feet. Honey gave her one last shove, and Fred threw his arms around her photogenically, grinning at the camera.
Honey took about a million pictures.
