*Pewdie's POV*

We had to listen to Jennifer talk about absolutely nothing for three hours straight. Luckily, Stephano saved all of our ears and sanity. "Why don't we find someplace to sleep for the night?," he grumbled, rubbing his eyes.

Cry yawned. "Great idea. I'm sure you're all tired," he said. "I'm not tired!," Jennifer chimed in. Cry rolled his eyes. "I wasn't aiming it directly at you," he grumbled sleepily. Gonzales and Piggeh both whacked me on the arm. "When is this woman going to to see the bro so that they can fall in love and leave us alone?," Piggeh whined.

"I know," Gonzales added. "We've done nothing but listen to her talk!"

It was true; Jennifer had done nothing for the three hours we had been walking but talk...

...and talk...

...and talk!

Even happy-go-lucky Mr. Chair semed all done with Jennifer's yakking. Happily, Mr. Chair found a room that seemed safe to spend the night in. When we opened the door, we were greeted with a very sad-looking, very sleepy Barrel.

Stephano jumped in shock. "Ah, allos, Barrel," he said. "Somezing ze matter? Yeu look quite sad." Barrel looked like he was considering something. Then he breathed out. "Nah," he sighed. "Just sleepy. I'll be fine, I'm sure."

He nudged Piggeh, Mayo, and I out of his way first. He was about to nudge Jennifer, when the two of them had their eyes meet...

*Barrel's POV*

She beautiful. Instead of nudging her out of my way, I gently ran a hand down her arm. She looked very kind and caring, as well as gentle. The kind of girl who would keep me company, and enjoy doing so.

My eyes met hers, and I tried to say, "My name's Barrel, dear. What's yours?" I couldn't push it out of my throat, though. I wanted her...and hoped very much that she wanted me as well...

*Jennifer's POV*

I couldn't pull my eyes off of him, and I felt shivers of joy run up and down my spine as he ran a hand down my arm.

He's the most handsome thing I've ever seen. Even more cute than I thought Pewdie was when I first had a crush on him! From his appearance, he looked rather strong, and tough - very manly. He's taller than me, so I come up to about his underarm.

He looked quite familiar, too. Like...I had been thrown at his face. Oh, but if I knew it was such a handsome man, I would've apologized! I looked into his gorgeous, navy blue eyes, and said, "Sir, my name is Jennifer. What's yours, my fine one?"

The man nods once. "The name's Barrel," he says softly. Just like his looks and appearance, his voice is very hot. I squealed, and hugged him around his waist. Pewds and the bros stare at me with disgust, but I barely see it.

"M'lady," Barrel said. "I'm just finding a way out. Would you like to join me?" I turned to Pewdie. "Peeewwwdiiie!," I cried out pleadingly. "Can I stay with him? Pleeeaase?"

Pewdie's face turned red like fresh blood. Then it turned purple, then it turned green. Pewdie sighed, then clenched his hands into tight fists.

"Fine," he growled. "Fine! Just...whatever! Join him, and see if I really care!" Pewdie's turquoise eyes filled up with tears, and he angrily stormed out of the room. Stephano began to run after him, followed by Cry, then Piggeh, Mr. Chair, {Name}, Mayo, and Gonzales. "Pewdie!," Stephano calls after him. "Wait! Where are yeu going?!"

As the Bros chase after Pewdie, Barrel holds out his arm. I smile, and link mine with his, and we head off into the house.
