Part II:
It was Friday afternoon and quite frankly, Crash was getting a little nervous about his date with Jackie the next night. He realized that he liked her a lot. A whole lot. But how would he know if she liked him. 'What if she just wants to be friends?' He would be terribly embarassed if she didn't like him back. 'And what if she did? Then what? Oh no, I wouldn't know what to do.'
So with all of those questions running through his head, he decided to go to talk to his good friends, the APA.

"Knock knock!"
"Who is it?" Asked the strong voice from the other side of the door.
"It's me, guys! It's Crash."
"Oh, come on in!" Farooq yells to him.
"Hi guys." Crash says as he walks over to the Poker table where the Acolytes were engaged in one of their daily games of poker.
"Hey little man. What brings you here?" Questioned Bradshaw, the other big Texan.
"Yeah kid. You hardly ever come to visit us anymore. You need protection? 'cause we're running pretty low on beer money."
"No, I don't need protection. Guys," He said as he began to look at his hands. "I need advice."
"Advice on what, shorty?" Farooq asked him as he collected the cards to shuffle so that they could start a new game.
"Well..." He began, looking up from his hands. "Well, it's about a girl." He told them.
His inquiry was met by laughter.
"Hey Bradshaw," Farooq snickered. "I think that our Crash here is in love." He teased.
"I know!" He laughed. "I think that he's finally becoming a man."
"Hey guys! I'm serious here." Crash said, getting a little upset over them finding his question so funny. "So are you guys going to listen to me or what?"
"Calm down, little man. What do you need to know?" Said Farooq as he started to hand out the cards.
"Well, umm...you see, I like this girl. Like a lot, but I don't know if she likes me back. What should I do? Should I write her a note or something?"
"Nah, man! This ain't the third grade. If you want to know what she thinks, you have to ask her." Bradshaw told him.
"Ask her?!?" Crash exclaimed, suddenly becoming terrified. "But what if she doesn't like me back?" He told them as he got up and started to pace.
"Well Elroy, that's a chance that you'll have to take."
He stopped pacing for a second and then thought up something else. "Oh no guys, what if she wants a kiss?!?"
With this revelation, Farooq and Bradshaw looked at eachother and then burst out laughing.
"Boy, are you tellin' me that you have never been kissed before?" Bradshaw asked in between bouts of laughter.
"Well, my mommy-"
When they heard Crash say 'mommy' they began to shake with laughter once again.
"This boy is in more trouble than I thought." Farooq cackled.
Putting his hands on his hips, he groaned. "Guys, can you just help me! What if she wants me to kiss her? How do I do it?"
"Don't worry, just go with the flow. Just go with the flow." Farooq told him adding in flowing hand motions.
"'Just go with the flow'?!? What kind of advice is that?? Maybe I should just call off the whole thing."
"Listen here little guy. Do you really like this girl?"
"Well gosh, of I do. She's so pretty! And she likes ice cream with rainbow sprinkles on it too. Just like I do!" He told them, his eyes twinkling.
"Well then take her out and tell her how you feel." Bradshaw told him.
"Oh okay. Thanks a lot guys!" He smiled to them as he left.
After he left they returned to their game of poker.
"That boy is really crazy." Farooq told his partner as he got out a beer.
"Nah, he's just in love."
