I raised an eyebrow. Who said guys don't have good romantic advice. I turned back to Tuke and Rutt, who were shaking with terror from the short encounter with Nita.
"You know boys," I raised my voice loud so she would hear, and turned my head to see her reaction." I think this calls for more than just an opening line." she stopped short. Ha ha. She twisted her body and stared at me, anger displayed over her delicate features. I couldn't help but smirk...er...smile.
"Oh yeah, yeah, sure." Tuke agreed. Nodding his head.
"Mmmhmmm....ok." Rutt squeeked. I snapped my head back to them.
"Acts, of bravery." I continued, my voice still loud enough for Nita to hear, oh how I love annoying her."That's what really impresses the ladies." I smiled, pleased that Nita was coming back to us. She was walking towards us, a deep scowl on her face.
"Gee....bravery sounds scary." Tuke commented.
"Yeah." Rutt faithfully agreed.
"No, no, no, no, no, you just have to pretend to be brave." I replied, glancing at a smirking Koda.
"I'll go out there, and act all ferocious," a fascinated smile broke out on Koda's face as he listened to my plan,"while you guys come out of the beaver dam.............and rescue them." I gave them a look and began walking towards the river.
"Oh, okay." Rutt responded, looking a lot less alarmed.
"Yeah, that's a beauty plan, eh?" Tuke agreed, following me.
"He's smart, eh?" Rutt complimented."Not like you." she said to Tuke.
"Oh get out, eh." Tuke shot back.
"Kenai, we don't have time for this." Nita whined from behind me."Kenai!"
"It's no use," I heard Koda chuckle,"this falls under 'you can't tell Kenai nothin'." I rolled my eyes. Whatever.
I climbed on top of a boulder a few feet from wear the two 'moosettes' were grazing, and began to roar the most passionate one I ever did. Maybe it would have impressed Nita, not just Koda and the moosettes. I glanced in her direction, she looked utterly bored. I tried again, roaring even louder this time.
"Roooooooaaaaaar!" I yelled. "Roooooooaaaar!" I felt like an idiot, with my paws raised in the air. I lookd around for Rutt and Tuke. Where were they?
"What's wrong with him?" I heard one of the moosettes whisper.
"Maybe he got ahold of some bad samon." the other one offered. Nice. Not exactly what I was aiming for. Too make matters worse, I heard Nita sigh.
"This, is stupid." she grumbled, resting her chin on her hand. Like an idiot, I continued anyway.
"Roooooaaar!" I yelled one last time, before I heard the brothers whispering behind me.
"Look, this oughta impress the ladies for sure, eh?" Rutt asked.
"Yeah." Tuke snorted. Those two just don't get it. How could someone be so clueless? No wonder they're single.
"I'm a big hungry bear, and I'm gonna rip you to shreds.....rooooooooaaaar!" I roared, waving my arms. The two moosettes gave each other looks that showed that they doubted my mental stability. "Rooooooar.....I said I'm gonna rip you to.....er..........shreds." I stammered, nodding my head at the brothers, gesturing for them to come out.
"Uhoh, I think that's our cue, eh?" Tuke asked, nervously.
"No, you think?" I thought.
"Yeah, beauty, eh." Rutt agreed, following after his older brother.
"Let's go." Tuke lept on the beaver dam, balancing awkwardly."Fear not! Moosettes!" he yelled."I, Tuke, and my brother, Rutt, will save you, eh."
"Yeah, eh." Rutt agreed. I glanced at the moosettes. Clearly by their disgusted expressions our plan wasn't working. Infact, it was failing, painfully.
"Go away bear!" Tuke called.
"Yeah, touch not, the fair ladies." Rutt added.
"Yeah, you're going to have to go through us." Tuke yelled.
"You're going to have to kill us, eh." Rutt shouted. Tuke flashed him an "are-you-crazy" look.
"What, no, no, not kill us." Tuke said in a panicky whisper.
"Sorry," Rutt whispered to Tuke, then much louder,"Or maybe not kill us, but push us down........er.........or something." he corrected. I shut my eyes in embarrassment.
"Why do I even bother?" I thought, as I ran down the slope and uttered one last roar. That one was pretty good if I do say so myself. Then it happened, their eyes widened, and they ran away screaming, jumping into the lake, getting me wet with a giant splash. I glanced over at Koda's direction, Nita was rolling her eyes and sighing, but Koda was rolling around laughing. I do have to admit though, it was kind of funny.
"Gee...that was scary, eh?" Rutt asked, as they floated on the water. I jumped into the water with them.
"Yeah, you can go back to grazing, nothing to see here." Tuke stammered as they floated past the freaked-out moosettes.
"Toodooloo!" Rutt called. I ran after them.
"Hey wait, guys, where are you going? Don't leave!" I panicked, they were blowing my chance to impress someone. Suddenly I heard a low growl, the moosettes were glaring at me, I took a step back and giggled nervously. But they grabbed me and threw me across th pond and right into the beaver dam, making me get my head stuck in it. I heard Nita giggling. Not the best way to impress someone.
