"Radicles, can you please explain to me what is going on?"
Rad sat down. "You remember when KO asked you who your crush was?"
"You mean to tell me that the reason that KO went through his funk is because he asked me who my crush was instead of whom I was in love with?"
"Yeah…" Rad trailed off before realizing what she said. "Wait, you have a crush, and someone who you love?"
"Yes. A crush is something of a fantasy. Like when Nanini had a crush on Mr. Gar for about 4 weeks. Or like my crush on you that I had. It is short-lived and simply fantasial. Love, however, exceeds four how I feel about KO."
"Oh…" Rad felt embarrasment for both himself and KO.
"I'll deal with this."
"Wait, you can't go alone."
"The entirety of your date team is there, are they not?"
"Well, the only one that really knows how to calm TKO down is Enid…and if you go alone, what's going to stop TKO from lashing out at you?"
Dendy sighed through her nostrils. The alien had a point.
"Hang on. I got an idea. When the time comes, I'm going to shove TKO into my gym bag."
"Why-?"
"Then, I'm going to shove you in there to keep him calm."
"What!?"
"Well let the bag open up when you two are in the break room of the bodega, and then make sure that no one's in the bodega while you try to calm down TKO."
"How long would you put in there alone?"
"Eh, I think the maximum would be three hours."
"Three hours!?"
"Well, that was the plan with everything. A three hour date to try and convince you that KO's a better suit for you than me."
"Oh my Cob…" Dendy groaned. "You know what? Just put me in the gym bag. When TKO charges at you in a rage, just make sure that he ends up in the gym bag and not shattering every bone in your body."
"Alright."
"Wait, is there stuff inside of it?"
"No, it's empty. The stuff I brought was used for the date."
"Good." Dendy said. She managed so fit herself inside of the large bag, and Rad zipped her in, trying to make sure that he wasn't hurting her as he tried to make his way quickly towards the Dinosaur riding TKO.
He ran through the forest, carrying the gym bag above his head. When he got there, he noted that many of the robots had rebooted, the only one still there being Shannon. Enid tried to get on the Dinosaur and to TKO, but kept getting knocked off. Carol tried to use her copy ability to counter some of TKO's powerfists, but they weren't as strong as the angry teenager.
Rad unzipped the Gym bag. "Hey! Turbo!" Rad shouted. "It's me ya wanna fight, right?"
TKO looked over his shoulder to see Rad. With a growl, he charged at the alien. Rad quickly covered his face with the unzipped gy bag, allowing TKO to run into Dendy. This left the two in a daze as Rad quickly zipped up the gym bag.
He rushed to the bodega. When he got there, he threw the gym bag in the break room, locked it, locked it again, then put a chair underneath the door. "That should hold them." Rad sighed.
TKO broke through the gym bag quickly trying to find a way out without blasting a hole. He shouted and started a semi-rampage as Dendy simply watched for a little bit. After a few moments, Dendy caught his attention with a whistle.
TKO glared at the girl. "What do you want?" He sneered.
"I want to talk with you."
"There's nothing to talk about."
"Oh, there most certainly is."
"No there isn't! You obviously love that alien Rad-uh-cles. So much that you've ignored your best friend!"
"You've been the one ignoring me!" Dendy spat.
TKO walked up to the kappa with a growl. "Let's just settle this my way." He reeled back his arm. "And kiss my-"
Dendy snatched him by the shirt and planted his lips firmly onto hers.
He let out a low coo, similar to a dove, from his throat. After that, his hands found their way on to the back of Dendy's head, his fingers feeling her hair. They breathed against each other, their foreheads rested together. When they opened their eyes Dendy smiled at KO, now back to his normal self. KO blinked a few times before kissing Dendy on the cheek, giving her several pecks and causing her to giggle. When they were done, they sat next to each other on the couch. "So…you don't like Rad?"
"I have a fantasional crush on him, but you're the one I love KO. If I were to want someone to spend the rest of my life with, it would be you, I would choose…"
