When I awoke, I found myself on a couch. I rubbed my eyes and sat up as I tried to figure out my surroundings.

Where am I? This isn't my house. I thought as I looked around.

Someone had taken my robe and I still had the smell of sea water on me. I caught whiff of bacon and eggs, as well as hot coffee. I got up and quietly went to the kitchen, peeking around the corner to see who the owner of the house was. It looked like Flippy. I stepped out and went up behind him. I cautiously reached out and gently tugged on the back of his shirt. He stopped cooking and just stood there.

"U-Um... Flippy?"

A low, gruff chuckle caught my attention. I took a step back as my heart raced. He turned around and gave me his traditional evil grin, the piercing yellow eyes made me freeze. Flipqy!

"Don't be so tense cutie." He said with a smirk as he leaned against the counter. "Want some breakfast?"

"U-Uh... yes, please?" I blushed as my voice quivered. "W-Why... um... er..."

I couldn't talk for the life of me! Here I was inside my crush's house, standing 2 feet away in my speedo! I couldn't be more embarrassed!

"Why did I bring you here?" He looked back at me as he made me a plate of breakfast and I nodded helplessly. "Well... I was worried. I thought you had been injured or you were sick. I figured it'd be best to bring you here to keep you safe. You know how the seagulls like to eat flesh that's just layin around."

"Yeah." I answered with a giggle, making him smile softly.

I blushed and shyly looked down. I felt his hand come down on my head, ruffling my curly hair, making me turn red and flinch.

"Come on cutie..." He said as he carried the food to the table "Let's eat, kay?"

I nodded and went over to eat with him. We talked together for a while as we ate. He was being so kind to me that I thought for sure I was dreaming. After breakfast he gave me some clothes to wear so I could walk home. I didn't want to leave, but I knew I'd be seeing him around really soon. As we said our goodbyes at the door he ruffled my hair again, but as I was turning to walk out the door he grabbed me and turned me around, planting a kiss on my lips. I stood there in shock as he held the passionate embrace for what felt like minutes on end. He pulled away slowly and smiled softly.

"Come visit me soon cutie, alright?" He whispered.

"Heh k-kay." I smiled crookedly and blushed.

He gave me another kiss before gently nudging me out the door. I couldn't believe what just happened! My legs felt like jelly and my tummy was in knots. I sighed dreamily and ran home happily, laughing as I thought about how Flipqy must really like me too. Sadly I should've been watching for cars when I ran across the street... I could've avoided Lifty and Shifty's van.
