Ah, what a night! I may have not gotten my first kiss, but that was the first time I gave away a kiss to a guy. Who cares if Michael Carey treated my love note like some dumb flyer you find on your doorstep. B.O.B. treated my kiss like he got a Hershey's chocolate bar. And that felt good.
When I got back to my room, I looked on my iPod for love songs. Nothing! If I can get my hands on some computer with internet access and an $15 iTunes gift card, I'm buying nothing but love songs. Sarah played a lot of love songs on her laptop and it got really annoying after only a week, but hopefully I can find something better than her stuff.
There's no doubt about it, folks; I really like B.O.B.! Not so much of a crush, I just like him.
Usually I have to drag myself to the table for breakfast, but this morning I was skipping. And this time, Doc was only there. I checked my iPod time; I was up four hours before my usual rising.
"Ah, Jennifer, you're sounding like you're cheery this morning." Doc commented while he worked on a new laptop. Everyone was a bit hesitant when they said stuff about me they couldn't see me.
"You should be, too." I added. "Finally one of your inventions didn't blow."
"That's splendid, and I believe it's also wonderful that someone took note of it."
"Thanks, Doc," I said without wanting to call him a sissy. I ran up to him and hugged him. "Thanks for the TV last night. That really made my night after what happened."
"You're very welcome, my dear." He said sweetly although unsure about the hug that came from his newest tormentor. Doc returned the hug, and I ran off. Come to think of it, he may be a sissy but a sheer genius. He probably does stuff that's over my family's heads.
Susan came in and was pretty shocked to see me up this early.
"Morning, Jenny!" Susan greeted while she yawned. "What are you doing up so early?"
"Oh, I'm just in a good mood right now." I explained.
"Okay." Susan chirped. Thank God she was the only one who knew about last night's you-know-what. I love Susan; she's sort of like a big sister yet a friend.
B.O.B. came in with Bella Marie, and he had a troubled look on his face.
"Bella, are you kidding?" B.O.B. reasoned with her. "Bill and I are just friends! You're the only lady I know, and I'll always love that only lady. No, Bill is not a girl! Are you calling me a liar? Fine! If you need some time of your own, go!" He took the jell-o back to his room, and went back to the table. He sighed. "What am I gonna do, you guys?" B.O.B. muttered.
"What's the matter, B.O.B.?" Susan asked patting his wiggly head.
"Bella thinks I'm cheating on her." He replied looking down a the table.
"What happened?" I asked being the blonde I am taking a chair.
"B-Bill kissed my cheek, and I wrapped m-my arm around him." He blubbered. He started bawling.
Susan and Doc knew where I was. They looked at each other in shock and looked at me; I started blushing. It did me no harm again, but I froze stiff with embarrassment.
"What would be so bad about that?" Susan asked.
"Bella th-thinks...Bill's a girl!" B.O.B. wailed. I scooted my chair closer to him.
"Don't worry about it, B.O.B." I told him taking his hand. "You and I are just friends; that's all Miss Bella needs to knows."
"Really?" He asked lifting his head from the table.
"Yep." I replied. "All Bella needs is some help."
"She needs to know you really love her more than anything." Susan added. "Flowers?"
"Bella's having allergy problems right now." B.O.B. said.
"Chocolates? A card? A movie?" Susan, Doc, and I suggested.
"How 'bout a day at the beach?" Link asked coming out of his cell. "That sounds good."
"We're talking about B.O.B. and Bella, knuckle head." I replied. He stretched.
"Okay?" Link said confused. "How about...er, I don't know. Dinner for two?"
"You know, maybe." I agreed. "That doesn't sound too bad." Deep down inside, I wished it was B.O.B. and me. But I loved that kid so much I wanted to do anything to keep him happy.
"Excellent!" Doc exclaimed.
"B.O.B.?" Susan looked at the happy again blob.
"Yes! Yes!" B.O.B. cried. "Thank you! Thank you! I love you guys!"
"But whatever you do, don't tell Bella Marie a word about this." Doc told him. "We must keep it a surprise."
"Doc, how'd you know?" B.O.B. asked in shock. "Bella loves surprises!" The scientist could only smirk.
"Then that's great." Susan said. "B.O.B. needs a tie. We need to get candles, music, server, champagne, a lace table cloth." Susan continued on as B.O.B.'s smile got bigger with every necessity.
"What's all this?" Monger asked unexpectedly.
Oh, no! Not another mission! I thought. "B.O.B. and Bella Marie are having a bit of trouble." I explained. "We decided they need to have a date."
"Bella Marie?" The general repeated confused.
"B.O.B.'s jell-o, General." Doc replied.
"B.O.B. 'n' Bella Marie, eh?" Monger thought aloud. "It's kind of a wonder it's not B.O.B. and Invisoline; the two are pretty close. Like B.O.B. and the Invisible Man."
"She acts like him too." Link added. That made me smile.
"If you thought y'all were getting another mission on yer hands, you were wrong." Monger said. "A little date, eh? Well, I'll see what the staff and I can do." I started giggling. I've got the best monsters yet.
The time had finally come; the date was ready to begin. B.O.B. was dressed in his best with a satin black bow tie and some of Doc's cologne. Bella was brought to Susan's cell to enhance her feminine side. B.O.B. claimed she didn't want to see me, but Susan's fingers were too big to add delicate features. So finally Bella let me in to help Susan. We helped her by putting chandelier earrings and a turquoise pendant onto her jell-o body.
Doc volunteered to be the waiter and Susan would play the part of the waitress and a bit of a chaperone for the brainless kids.
"Bill, what do I do? She almost hates me!" B.O.B. after getting ready in my cell.
"Just keep your cool, kid." I told him. "Don't talk about the bad stuff that happened. Just show her your love."
"Thanks, Bill." B.O.B. sighed as he relaxed. "You're awesome."
"You, too, mister." I replied.
I escorted B.O.B. to the candle-lit decorated table while Link brought in Bella. Susan looked cute with her corsage, and Doc looked smashingly hot in his tuxedo.
"Aw." B.O.B. cooed. "I love you too, sweetie. You look absolutely divine tonight."
Dinner for two, huh? I thought drawing a card from a pile between me and Link about ten minutes later. While Doc and Susan took care of things, Link and I sat a distant table playing Go Fish. Wrong couple. Grimacing but smiling all at once, I loved that blob.
