I hope you like this! This is, by FAR, my FAVORITE ship on the ENTIRE show... but it seems like I'm all alone in this ship! I looked for fics on this, and guess how many I find? 1. One solitary, lonely fic. So, I decided to do my OTP some service and made this fic! Takes place during the first episode. Enjoy!
Russell was nervous.
Well, he was always nervous in some form or other. But right now, he was more nervous than usual. As his friends excitedly talked about what a great idea this was, he sat in the corner of the little moving box as Vinnie showed off his "Machoness" by pulling everyone up to her room all by himself. The exercise was obviously very taxing on the wimpy little lizard, who was at this point short of breath and very red in the face, huffing in the excruciating effort of pulling the weight of all the other pets up in the elevator. Penny Ling had asked him if he wanted any help, as had Sunil, but he had insisted upon doing it all by himself. Minka wasn't making things any easier for him, as she was jumping around with an excitement that none of the others had ever been able to surpass. Zoey was gossiping excitedly to Penny Ling, and Pepper's disgusting smell had already made it's way into the Dumbwaiter, and she was currently sitting in the corner, chuckling to herself, embarrassed. Eventually, Sunil looked up from his meditation and said "Look, everyone, we are here." Russell felt something tighten in his chest as all the other animals cheered excitedly. Russell pulled himself together and took charge of the situation. "Shhh! Not so loud! We don't want to disturb her!" Pepper smiled and walked over to him.
"Aw, Don't get your knickers all up in a twist, Russell. We were only having a bit of fun!" Russell scowled.
"Yeah, well, stop it, all right? We only met this girl once, and I could tell she was pretty freaked out by us. I mean, it's not every day that you run across a human that can understand pet, and we kind of overloaded her. I Don't want to freak her out like that again; after all, we need her on our good side if we want her to help us. Now, everyone, stay behind me and don't make any sudden movements or sounds. I'm looking at you, Minka." The monkey in question giggled in excitement, but nodded her head and put a finger to her lips, then pretended to be a spy. Russell rolled his eyes and cautiously made his way towards the bump in the large human bed, and looked up, nervousness showing in his voice. "Um, excuse me, Miss Blythe, but... I was wondering if you could help me and my friends... You see, we-" He was interrupted by a loud snore coming from the bed. Startled, Russell stared at the figure. Was she... sleeping? He decided to make sure. He climbed the bedsheets in order to reach the top of the mattress, struggling to get up as his friends watched him. He eventually tumbled onto the mattress, and crawled over to view her face. Sure enough, the human girl named Blythe was fast asleep. He couldn't help but stare at her face. It was so much... different from that of her waking face, which he had seen in pain, confusion, rejection, and fear. But now, her eyes were closed in blissful peace, her soft mouth just the slightest bit open, her beautiful long brown hair spilling over that perfect heart-shaped face. He didn't notice the pets all staring at him in bewilderment.
I'll add more later, but for now, I kinda just want to get this up. If I get positive reviews, I will be adding more.
