Chapter 3: End of the First Day

-The Fitzgerald House-

-The Living Room, 6:00PM-

It was a cheering night at the Fitzgerald House after Penny and Leslie's first school day. They are now watching 'The Land Before Time HD'. Tonight's episode is Season One Episode 'The Spooky Nighttime Adventure' as Mrs. Fitzgerald is serving them dinner tonight

"You hatchlings worry too much..." Cera said in a serious tone as Penny, her younger sister, and Leslie laughed about the characters' cowardice, much to say that Mrs. Fitzgerald prepared dinner now as she said cheeringly to her kids "Dinner is served, everyone"

"Cool" The Fitzgerald duo and Leslie said in unison as they walked to the dining room to eat dinner, Mr. Fitzgerald came back home just as Penny lastly sat her chair

"There you are, dear" Mrs. Fitzgerald greeted her husband, removing his suitcase after a good day's work

"Hey, honey" Mr. Fitzgerald greeted his wife sitting his chair the last "Whatcha serving?"

"Just beef stew" She replied as everyone in the family started eating dinner tonight

Sometime Later...

As the family and Leslie are eating dinner, Penny first speaks about her first day at Junior High. Her parents are grateful that Penny brought Leslie to the school since he can't do it alone without her. After all, Penny and Leslie are cousins

"It was a great at school, dad" Penny commented about her first day to her father with confidence

"Why, is it because you've met a lot of friends?" Mr. Fitzgerald asked to his daughter, he snickered because of his exciting day at work

"Of course, I started with a boy" Penny said while she ate her food "Then girls, funny though because he is nervous to hangout with me"

"So, Leslie" Mrs. Fitzgerald turned to her nephew "How about you?"

"Not going well" Leslie explained his first day honestly "But at the end, I only met a few girls. Also, I kinda get nervous about meeting a cute girl"

"It's because, both of you have a crush on someone" Mrs. Fitzgerald solved their nervousness, Penny and Leslie are shocked with a 'what?' "Don't worry, you'll find out when you meet the same guy"

"I'm just glad we're having a great start" Penny said about the day, Leslie felt shocked about realizing a crush "Also, it's fine here meeting different species of our new friends"

"So, what do you think about Elmore Junior High?" Penny's Little Sister asked to her sister

"Great" Penny and Leslie said together in a melancholic mood "We'll meet more friends someday"

"Jinxed!" Leslie interrupted with a point on his leaf to her, Penny rolled her eyes because of his sarcastic jokes

-Elmore Suburban, 8:30PM-

At night of the suburban, Leslie is leaving the house now as Leslie waved goodbye at Penny Fitzgerald. Penny knew he can go home all by himself, she closed as she noticed the weather forecast that Elmore will have a rainy night in just a few minutes

Back to Leslie, he is thinking his first day at school while walking with his roots

"I guess going at Elmore Junior High is not bad after all" Leslie said to himself while he is heading back to his greenhouse "Maybe I can get a chance to meet boys again, not like elementary school" and then he heard a rumble as it started to rain, good thing is that Leslie can drink water and even rainwater via his dirt and roots

"Oh no, this isn't good" Leslie rushed to his house fast until he saw Teri in the distance, Teri is blowing slowly because of the wind blowing her "Teri, what is she doing here?" He rushed fast as Teri is trying to go back home safely, but she is about to be blown away

Teri is flying away but Leslie grabbed her hand with his leaf for a few seconds. She first thought that she will say farewell to Elmore by flying, but when she opened her eyes, it was Leslie who stopped her flying

"Leslie?" Teri asked the flower with his name, Leslie pulled her back to the ground as he saw his greenhouse not far away

"Don't worry, come to my greenhouse" Leslie said to her as he dragged her to his greenhouse "Teri, you're blowing. My greenhouse is windproof"

-Leslie's Greenhouse, 8:40PM-

As Leslie fully put her in his greenhouse, he closed his glassy door shut as his light turned on. It reveals a natural park-like Interior of the Greenhouse as Teri is awed about the surprise

"Phew, gladly you're safe" Leslie then apologized to Teri "I'm sorry for taking you here like an idiot"

"No, it's fine" Teri forgave him casually, no harm is done to her "It's just I've never a greenhouse that cool"

"I know, Teri" Leslie then walked to his cordless phone to call "If you need something, I'll be at the phone calling your parents that you'll be safe with me" she nodded and looked at the garden of his house

Teri doesn't notice his greenhouse being so environmental and very different from the usual houses. She'd been in the park but she didn't visit a greenhouse this thematic to her as she felt the cold water drenching her papery body because of the rain

"I think I'm wet, Leslie" Teri shivered while wrapping her arms in her torso "Can you... make me... warm?"

"Don't worry, I'll help you" Leslie agree to help Teri, he pushed a button from one of his plants and it showed up a temperature control

Sometime Later...

After Leslie set his temperature warm, Teri slowly normalizes her body temperature. She is sitting on a log beside him while he is sprinkling his fertilizer to give nutrients on his body

"Leslie, is this where you live?" Teri asked to the flower boy "Living without your parents?"

"No, my parents are late to come back home" Leslie answered her question "Don't worry, they welcome visitors anytime. Where is your house?"

"Far away from Penny's house. Apart from that, thanks for letting me stay here. I was too slow to think about the weather"

"No problem, Teri. that's what friends are for"

"I... Uh... I don't think the rain will stop soon"

"I think so, Penny heard that while I don't. Maybe you wanna go for a sleepover?"

"Sure" Teri agreed as Leslie settled flower beds for him and his family, badly enough that Teri doesn't have a bed to sleep "I'm sorry if there are no beds for you, you can sleep on logs or clean grass"

"So, do you clean the greenhouse everyday?" Teri said as she lay down flatly on her log

"Nature did that for us. Sometimes, my dad is good at managing our greenhouse with an air conditioner" Leslie said as he removed his pot to bury himself to the ground starting with his roots, Teri isn't looking at him though "Greenhouses are the most suitable places for plants to live. Such as Idaho have his own suburban house with his family, Dolly having a very cold house to freeze herself and keep her body intact"

"Well, I hope we can have a good school day" Teri said as she looked at him, he is in the ground as Teri smiled at his way of sleeping "Don't you think, Leslie?"

"Yeah, I guess" Leslie said as the light started to turn into a nightlight "Goodnight, Teri" as Leslie drift himself to sleep, Teri yawned and she looked at the glassy roof

"Goodnight" Teri whispered as she also drifted to sleep, lastly to see is the rain from the roof "Leslie..." she felt comfort on Leslie's greenhouse, Teri had never been this comfortable like a hospital bed as they will wake up another day to go to school

Next Chapter: Short Chapter as Teri has a nightmare about Leslie. Friendship ahead. And you can now decide what chapter is next for the new pairing, Leslie and Teri.
