Chapter 2 – Jenna
For the first time in Daggett's life, he was actually very excited about meeting someone according to his ideals. While he was out of bed very early than normal and changing into some casual clothing, he was thinking about what Norbert would think. He smiled at the satisfying image of his older brother having a serious cow fit of seeing him with a famous starlet of Lickety Splits commercials. Oh the wonderful jealousy of it all! Then again, he thought that Norbert really shouldn't be since he's madly in love with Treeflower and all.
"My dream is coming true…cha cha cha! My dream is coming true…cha cha cha!" Daggett sang happily while spinning around like an egotistical model. He glanced at the clock for a brief moment. There was still plenty of time for him to eat something good. "Perhaps I'll eat a bowl of cereal and a few maple sticks," he said to himself. While heading into the kitchen, he noticed Norbert already dressed and eating a strawberry flavoredLickety Split.
"Morning, Norb," Daggett smiled, dancing his way to the cabinets to fetch a bowl and his favorite cereal.
"Good morning, Dag," Norbert replied before glancing at the happy facial expression on his younger brother's face. "You seem to be in very high spirits this morning. Why is that?"
Daggett blushed slightly, thinking that Norbert wouldn't believe him going on a not-so-official date with the beaver girl from TV. "Do you promise me that you won't tell anyone?"
"Scouts honor!" Norbert beamed. "I'll burn my own soul if I do."
"Treeflower is going to take me to the studio! I'm finally meeting the Lickety Splits girl!" Hearts were dancing around Daggett's head with glee. "What do you think about that, Norbutt?!" he asked with an in-your-face attitude.
Norbert blinked for a moment before laughing out loud, believing what Daggett said was nothing more than a joke. He banged his hand on the table a few times, wiping the tears from his eyes. "You… of all people… are going to meet the Lickety Splits poster girl?! Ha ha ha! Please tell me you're kidding, Daggy! And second, she wouldn't date a spoothead like you!"
"Nope," Daggett responded with a small frown. "I'm not lying this time. Second, you're the biggest spoothead ever." Fortunately for him, he heard a car honking just a few feet away from the damn. "Alas! My ride has arriven!"
"Arrived," Norbert corrected. Then his eyes suddenly widened at the small insult. "I'm not a spoothead!!!"
"Right. Anyway, I'm off to see my dream girl. Feel free to ask details when you get home," Daggett told his brother with an egotistical tone.
Norbert shook his head as he watched Daggett leaving the dam happily. He tried so hard to hold his snickering inside for as much as possible. Despite being called a maniacal spoothead, he busted out laughing the second time around. "Daggett and HER?!" His screeching laughter started to break a few windows, making stop laughing abruptly. "Sheesh…I didn't know the windows were that sen-see-tave."
Daggett and Treeflower arrived at the studio a half hour later, where the people were shooting a brand new commercial for a contest regarding to the beavers' favorite dessert. It seemed like they were just finished with it, but in all truth everyone was getting ready for the next scene. To Daggett's surprise he never knew that a commercial would take this long to film. If only Norbert was here to witness this, but why would Norby care, he thought quietly.
"Everyone quiet on the set!" a director shouted to everyone. Three other assistant directors repeated the exact same words, making sure that everyone was quiet. Once the setting was very quiet, the director yelled, "Action!"
A female beaver started to walk slowly to the set as she began to work her magic in more ways than one while filming the commercial. Daggett was most certainly amazed at the view. His heart begged him to get a little closer to the girl. It felt like his dream was actually about to come true for once in his life. But his mind quickly snapped back to reality when he accidentally knocked over a few heavy props, forcing the director to yell cut.
Treeflower noticed Daggett tripping over a few things and sighed in embarrassment. "Daggett!" she muttered out loud, trying to pull him up from the mess and out of the setting of the commercial.
The other female beaver, however, looked at the two and smiled. "Please don't get so angry, Mr. Director. I was in need of a break anyway," she spoke calmly. "Is that alright with you, sir?"
The director was still furious at Daggett for messing up a perfectly good scene. He was able to refrain from shooting his short temper. "Alright," he answered. "Let's take a short break. Fifteen minutes!"
"Thank you," she smiled as she walked over to Treeflower and the clumsy beaver. "Hey, Treeflower. How's it going?"
Treeflower had no choice but to laugh at the girl's greeting. "I'm fine, until my boyfriend's brother made a mess of things."
"I'm sure he didn't mean any harm."
"You're probably right," Treeflower grinned as she did her best to wake up Daggett with a few slaps to his face. "Daggett, say hello to your dream girl Jenna. Jenna, this is my boyfriend's brother Daggett."
Jenna grinned and extended her hand to greet the brown beaver. "Hello, Daggett. Treeflower has told me a lot about you. It's such an honor to meet you, in spite of the dorky circumstances…"
Once Daggett regained his vision, the greeting he received from Jenna made him feel like he had died and went to Heaven. "Likewise I'm sure!" he grinned sheepishlyas he returnedthe handshake. "I am truly sorry about what happened to make your director angry. Maybe I should've just watched where I was going."
"Don't be silly!" Jenna laughed softly. "I can be quite a dorky beaver myself. I tend to trip over things a lot, especially when I'm on the set. I guess it runs in the family?"
"Maybe so." Daggett's tail kept wagging from side to side in happiness. There were so many things to ask the beautiful and kind beaver. It was sad that he only had to ask only one question, that is, if he could think of an intelligent one. For only fifteen minutes, he had to ask now or never. "Uh… Jenna…" he finally spoke. "Umm… if you don't have… a boyfriend or anything… may I take you out to dinner tomorrow night?"
The albino beaver blushed deeply at Daggett's sweet offer as Treeflower glanced at him in surprise. Jenna giggled and nodded. "I'd be honored. And second… I'm single," she later winked. The director's shouting forced everyone back to work, as much as Jenna hated to cut the conversation short. "I have to get back to work now. Here's my cell phone number in case you want to talk to me whenever I'm not busy, okay, Daggett?"
Daggett took the spare phone card as he stared in awe. "I'll treasure it for the rest of my life…" he said in a daze.
"Daggett," Treeflower snapped her fingers in front of his face. "It's time to get you back home. Don't you have some important things to do with Norbert later on today?"
"Oh crap!" Daggett remembered. "I forgot about the plunger race! I do need to go back." He looked at Jenna. "Can I call you later tonight?"
"Tonight will be fine," Jenna gave the love-struck beaver a warm smile. "Hope to hear from you soon, Daggett. I would really love to get to know you better."
Treeflower shook her head as she dragged Daggett out of the set. "Way to go, lover boy," she chuckled teasingly. "I really can see Norbert getting jealous now."
Daggett obviously didn't care about that. He waved to Jenna while he was being dragged out. "So long!" He was picked up before getting tossed into the car. "I think I am in love…"
"Good," Treeflower snickered. "Whatever you do, please don't break her heart. She's sensitive and all."
"So…beautiful…" was all Daggett said before fainting on Treeflower's car seat.
That's all of chapter 2, kiddies! Would Daggett call Jenna? Would Daggett's dream date ever happen? Stay tuned for chapter 3 to find out!
