Ch.4: A Bouquet of Sweetness

"Okay, here's the thing," Angel said to Kai as they walked into the city gardens. "Girls find it thoughtful and sweet of a man when he brings her a bouquet of flowers. Sure they love roses, but they'll love it better if it's a bouquet of their favorite flower."

"But we don't know Boanya's favorite flower," Kai replied.

"I do," she explained. "She told me she loves tiger lilies the best. And this garden has just what we need."

"You think Skales will be okay with this idea?" the Red Ninja asked as they began looking through the flowerbeds.

"If he asks, it's to boost up his self-confidence," Kai then thought about it for a moment.

"Sounds good to me." Soon the two of them found some fresh tiger lilies and gathered twelve of the best ones into a lovely bouquet.

"There," Angel said, tying a red ribbon around the flowers. "That should do it."

"Hopefully, Skales will accept this idea," Kai said handing her the now finished bouquet.

"Like I said," she replied with a wink, "this'll bring up his self confidence." They then headed out to find Skales, but Kai stopped when he spotted a yellow marigold at the side. He recalled Mikey saying it's Angel's favorite flower, and he also recalled what Skales said to him earlier.

"I'm just saying you make a cute couple."

Well, she is a feisty one, Kai thought to himself. And I love 'em feisty. So he plucked the marigold and quickly followed Angel. The two of them soon found Skales heading for the Chumsworth Sisters' living quarters.

"Skales, wait up!" The Hypnobrai turned to see the two teenagers rushing up to him.

"Guys?" he asked when they stopped before him. "What's up?"

"We want you to give these to Boanya," Angel answered, handing him the bouquet.

"We think this will give you a boost of confidence in your 'meeting' with her," Kai added as the blue cobra looked at the flowers.

"You really think it'll work?" he then asked, turning to them with a bit of doubt.

"'Course, it will," Angel answered. "Girls find it sweet in a guy who gives them flowers."

"I thought roses are more romantic," the confused Skales stated.

"Yeah, but girls love it more if it's their favorite flower," Kai explained. "Go on; go for it." Skales hesitated but gave them a small smile.

"Alright, I'll give it a shot."

"Great," Angel said. "Oh, and ask her if she'd like to discuss the Slither Pit reviews by the bonsai patch in the garden. We have a little something special for you there." She then left with a wink, grabbing Kai's hand to have him follow.

"Whoa! Wait up, Angel!" Skales only watched after them before shaking his head with a laugh.

"Those two really do make a cute couple." He then slithered off to meet up with Boanya.

Speaking of said Anacondrai, she meanwhile is in the foyer making herself more presentable.

"Boanya, will you relax?" Flora asked as her older sister kept on fussing with her hair in front of the mirror.

"I can't help it," she answered, not looking away. "This is going to be my first time in a long time being alone with Skales, and I want to make the best of it."

"You seriously need to calm down, sis," Fauna stated, patting her hand. "Fussing over yourself like this isn't going to calm down those butterflies in your stomach."

"Does it tickle?" Vipera asked, thinking she meant literally.

"Oh, no, sweetie," Boanya giggled. "It just means I'm nervous."

Outside their living quarters, Skales has just reached the door. Quickly, he brushed himself off and fixed up his hood to make himself more presentable for Boanya. Once he's good, he knocked on the door.

Inside, the four sisters heard the knock.

"Oh, my gosh!" Boanya cried. "He's here already. Quick, how do I look?"

"You look fine," Fauna assured her. "Now quit worrying." Her older sister then took a deep breath and went up to the door. She then opened it and smiled when she saw her crush there.

"Skales, she said, "I'm glad to see you."

"Same here," he replied, returning the smile before handing her the bouquet in his arms. "Oh, I brought these for you." Boanya took them with a surprised smile.

"Tiger lilies…how did you know they're my favorite flowers?" Skales rubbed the back of his neck with a sheepish blush in reply.

"Uh, a little bird told me…"

"Oh, you're so sweet," she cooed, taking a sniff of the flowers. Skales smiled in reply; she's just so cute like that.

"Can we put them in some water for you, big sister?" Vipera asked, slithering up to her.

"Of course, thank you, Vipie," her sister answered, handing her the bouquet. "But remember to be careful with them."

"Say, uh, Boanya," Skales then asked. "I was wondering…do you want to discuss the reviews for the Slither Pit in the garden? It seems like nice weather outside today."

"Sounds like fun," she replied. "Let me just get my clipboard." She then grabbed said clipboard before taking Skales' held out arm, and the two of them slithered out together with her three younger sisters watching after her.

"Awwww…" Flora cooed with a smile.

"They are so cute at that age," Fauna concurred.
