"...What is this?" Lucy gaped, staring at her daughter and Oh holding hands. Sure they had held hands before, but this one gave off a different feeling.
"Oh?" Tip looked at her...boyfriend? She'd have to think about it later.
"Uh...I turned pink for her..." Tip noticed a small stripe of violet travel over him.
"When Boov turn pink it means they love someone" Tip explained, "it may be a little weird, but I'm willing to give having a 'relationship' with him a try."
Tip smiled when she saw the small stripe of light pink on Oh grow a little bolder for a second.
"A-are you sure?" Lucy blinked, she knew Oh had feelings for Tip, but she didn't know something like this would happen so soon, "you're still pretty young..."
"Mom, I'm turning thirteen next month" Tip reminded, "I'm basically a teenager now."
"Yeah" Lucy nodded, "that's true."
"Now if you excuse us, we need to find a way to make Oh go back to his normal color!" Tip grinned, dragging her 'boyfriend' into her room.
"How are we to doing this?" Oh wondered, looking at his skin.
"Well, maybe it'll go away after you feel something different..." Tip thought about it for a second, "ah! Maybe if I hurt you!"
"Wha?! No! That will not me necessary!" Oh yelped.
"Come here" Tip ignored Oh.
Oh turned a panicked yellow...and then went back to hot pink.
"It did not work" Oh said to himself.
"Were there any other rumors? Ones that might be able to fix this?" Tip worried.
"I do not know..." Oh trailed off, "I did not get to listen to many rumors before becoming Boov captain."
Tip sighed, "well, we can ask around tomorrow...maybe you could call your friend, Kyle I think it was."
"I thought you did not want others to find out" Oh blinked.
"Hey, he's your friend, I don't think he'll go around telling people if you ask him not to, right?" Tip smiled.
Oh smiled too and a stripe of exited yellow washed over him, "yes, that is correct!"
"Now, lets get to sleep, it's been a loooooong day" Tip yawned.
"Agreed" Oh nodded.
The next day, Oh called Kyle and invited him over, not telling him the reason why.
"Hello?" Kyle called out, opening the door and sticking his head inside, but before he could see anything the lights turned off and he was dragged to the side.
"You can keep a secret, right?" Tip questioned.
"...Well...yeah, sure, as long as it's not anything bad or anything..." Kyle replied hesitantly.
"Good" Tip smiled, standing properly as the lights turned back on.
Kyle looked around the room and the first thing he saw was Oh, who was still hot pink.
"...Huh?" Kyle was left brain dead.
"Weeeee...need your help" Tip laughed awkwardly as she took Oh's hand.
"Oh...oh...oh my god, Oh" Kyle was staring at his fellow Boov, shocked, "really? For a humansperson?"
"Yes" Oh nodded.
"We know it's a little weird, which is why we want this" Tip gestured to Oh's color, "to go away. But we can't figure out how."
"I did not hear many rumors about turning pink" Oh added.
"...um...the way I made it go away...might not be acceptable...or even possible for you two" Kyle fidgeted.
"You turned pink?" Oh blinked.
"Yes, quite recently" Kyle replied.
"Well...what did you do?" Tip wondered.
"I am refusing to tell you" Kyle shook his head, "I have heard there's another way, but I am not sure what it is."
"That is alright Kyle!" Oh smiled, "it goes away after some time, correct?"
"Yes, two days" Kyle nodded.
"Then I shall not leave!" Oh promised, "Tip does not want anyone to find out just yet, so I will stay here until I go back to my regular color!"
"I promise to not tell anyone" Kyle also promised.
"Thanks, Kyle" Tip grinned.
"It was no problem" Kyle replied before waving and leaving.
"So..." Tip began, bored, "what now?"
"I do not know" Oh shrugged.
"Hmmm" Tip looked around the room, catching sight of the tv, "have you ever seen a movie before?"
"No" Oh shook his head.
"Then I have an idea" Tip opened a cupboard and looked through a large stack of DVDs that had long since lost their cases.
"What is that?" Oh wondered, looking at the DVDs, "food?"
"No" Tip laughed, "they're movies, we watch them."
"How?" Oh asked.
"With the tv" Tip replied, taking out the DVD she had chosen and walking over to said TV.
Oh watched curiously as Tip slid the DVD into the DVD player and turn on the TV.
"Come sit" Tip urged, flopping onto the couch and waving for Oh to join her.
Within seconds, Tip had the movie starting, and she left to pop some popcorn during the opening credits. When she arrived back in the living area, she smiled at the sight.
Oh was sitting on the couch, staring at the TV as a soundtrack played, unconsciously tapping one of his 'pods' along with the beat.
"Tip!" Oh called, "movie are cool!"
"It's barely even started yet" Tip chuckled, sitting down next to the alien.
"Yes, I knows, but it is still cool!" Oh smiled before noticing the bowl in Tip's hands, "what is that?"
"It's popcorn" Tip replied, shoving some into her mouth, "try some."
Oh blinked and hesitantly grabbed a handful before eating one popped corn at a time.
"Oooh!" Oh yipped, a stripe of exited yellow went over him as he grabbed another handful and shoved it into his mouth. Tip giggled and leaned back to watch the movie.
A little over an hour later, the end credits were rolling up the screen and one of Oh's favorite soundtracks from the movie was playing. Oh found himself eagerly dancing to the music. Tip smiled and stood up to join him.
Oh started dancing a little weirdly, and Tip decided to take this opportunity to teach him some dance moves she'd seen in other movies...not that she was any good at them.
The song changed to a less liked one, so Tip re-winded the movie and put the beginning of the end credits on replay.
Lucy opened the door with three bags of groceries in her hands, and the first thing she saw in the dark room was Tip and Oh standing in front of the TV and trying to dance. Neither of them were good at it, but they looked like they were having fun.
Lucy giggled and left the room, pretending she hadn't seen anything.
Hey guys! It's official! We're going for a full story! Now, expect five or more chapters, but I don't think it's going to go above ten. Each chapter is going to have a certain amount of reviews that I'll demand, the number depends on how motivated I am to write at the time. For this chapter, 9 reviews = chapter four, since the ideas aren't exactly flowing right now. Ideas are also welcome, so if you want to see something happen, speak up and I'll see what I can do.
