Oh Dear...
Experiment #1: Ice Cold!
"Hey, Oh," she said as she took some popcorn from the bowl sitting in Oh's lap. They were watching some "chic flick" movie that Oh seemed insanely engrossed in.
"Your boxes are so colorful!" He exclaimed, "Tell Oh, how do you get those miniature people inside?"
Tip laughed at his question. "They're 'moving pictures'. They're made from recordings."
"Oh...Oh doesn't quite understand - so these tiny people are not real?" He questioned.
"No...I mean, yes, they're real, but they are recorded," she replied. "Oh, I was wondering..."
Oh finally looked up at her, "Can Boov...how are Boov created?" She asked. She was going to ask about the emotions, but she didn't want to know just yet. In fact, she didn't know a whole lot. "I know you told me that you're usually in a baking oven, but..."
"Boov are created-" And from that point on, Oh went on a complete talking spree. She had been so engrossed with what he was saying that they had both actually lost track of time. It was when her mother called that she actually wondered why her mother hadn't been home just yet.
"Tip, honey," she said over the phone, "would you mind if I spent the night at a friend's house? There's some cold pizza in the fridge, and I will have my cell phone on all night in case you get lonely."
"Will you come back tomorrow?" Tip asked her. She looked over the counter to see Oh inspecting the tv again. "Would it be okay if my friend stayed with me tonight?"
"Is your friend a boy?" Her mother asked.
She didn't know how to answer that. "No?" Luckily, her mother didn't hear the question in her voice.
"Alright, then, honey! Stay safe, and make sure you lock everything, okay? I promise to be back in the morning - though it might be a little late," she said.
"Okay!" Tip said enthusiastically. She looked at the wall clock - it was still pretty early. "Catch ya' later, Mom, love you." After she hung up, she immediately went over to the livingroom and watched as Oh tried to work the remote control. "Hey, Oh, you ever have a freezie shake?"
"What's that?"
She wondered if Boov could get headaches. She made up a quick slushie that she put two straws in and walked to the livingroom. She took a small slurp - pretty sure that she didn't want a brain freeze. "Just slurp through the straw."
Oh did it, and after a small slurp, his eyes lit up and he quickly chugged it. He looked up at her, and she just stared, wide-eyed. "H-How did you do that?" She asked.
"It was very cold," he commented, "but very flavorful! Do you have more?"
She laughed and made him another. Unfortunately, on his fifth slushie...he turned a pale blue. He froze in spot and she stared at him. He didn't move for quite some time and she began to worry. When he came to, he shivered and she immediately went to go get a blanket when she realized that he was still an icey blue color. "I guess freezie shakes are bad for Boov."
She laughed as she snuggled into the blanket with him. She his skin was like ice, so she cuddled him closer. Stripes of pink began to flow over his skin and she wondered what it meant.
Experiment number one was a success. "I d-do no-ot think fr-freezie sha-kes like Oh." She laughed.
"That's usually called a brain freeze, but for you, it's a little different. From now on, let's try to keep it down to just one, okay?" He nodded as best he could, wrapping his arms around her waistline and grabbing some of her warmth. He shivered for a while longer before his temperature was finally brought down.
Who knew Boov could drink three slushies back-to-back before getting a brain freeze?
Soooooooooo, another chapter. X3 Thanks for the reviews! I didn't think I'd get any this quickly. Sorry it took me so long to update. It's the weekend already, and I've been so busy! This story is going to need a lot of fine-tuning, but to be honest, I kinda just threw this chapter in there. I couldn't decide what I wanted as the first experiment... It was either "Freezie Shake" or "Lemons". XD
I know it was a little short, but the next one is going to be muchlonger!
