I wonder how tonight's going to work out. Is Starla gonna break? Is Stephanie going to be there? Is Skyler going to be there? Anything can happen tonight, but will it end for the better? Only hanging out at the Comet Lounge will tell. Crossing my flippers nothing goes wrong.
"Oh, Ester, please be back before midnight this time my dear." Doctor Fidgel says outside of my Starskider. "I'll try Fidge, promise." Fidgel simply nods as I zoom off for the night. Thank goodness the Rockhopper wasn't too far from the Lounge, that would've taken too long for my taste. Wait, that might mean...aww dog, I get to have to pay the bill! I hope one of the Nathaniel twins are there before me.
Hunh, it seems like Starla is here out in the parking lot. Is she waiting on Skyler? Me? Everyone? I pull in front of her and hop out. "Hey, Star of Intelligence. Whatcha doing?" We walk into the Lounge and sit at table two. "Hello Blue Flame, yeah I'm doing not much of anything." Starla sighs as we order for us and Dallas. I tilt my head and ask, "Oh, is Skyler going to be here tonight?" Starla shakes her head sadly, "He "forgot" he had a date tonight?" Well this is highly depressing. How can we be the Star-Crossed Four now?
"Evenin' ladies, so now Red Cloaked Sky? Dang." Dallas takes his place beside me, gently stroking my hair. I hug him, "Hi, young winged man. Yeah, Skyler's not being here is a bum." The waitress comes around with our meals and we thank her before the group goes silent. The silence continues as we start to eat.
We don't say much as the night progresses, but that's okay. The band that plays tonight is cool(Which, to me, means classy), and I sense they're the most popular space band in the galaxy by the number of fans here tonight. So, it's really busy and crowded tonight, okay point is, I could've sworn I had seen Zidgel and Zeena five times tonight. Despite how little I have little Starla, Dallas and I have spoken, I have found plenty of other things to interest me.
Since tonight was strange, all three of us paid tonight's bill, and we walked out of the Lounge. The U.F.P.S. Gentoo was already here this time, so Starla waved me and Dallas goodbye before leaving the scene. Now, it's just Dally and I, both hesitant to leave the other, but Dallas more than me. We hug and kiss each other goodnight, but before we take our separate ways, Dallas grasps my flipper. I turn around to look him in the eyes, they're mellow and timid. He needs me, but for what?
"Ester, could you umm...c-could you spend the night at my house?" He's lonely, oh so very lonely...my poor, sweet angel. I sigh sorrowfully and shake my head. "I'm sorry Dally I-I can't. It's forbidden…" He calmly nods, brushes my cheek with his warm flipper, and vanishes.
I made it home at 11:59 p.m., Fidge wasn't too pleased, but-"At least it's better than the Captain." I knew it! Than son of a gun was on a date. When Zidgel did come home, he looked like the happiest penguin alive. He dashed off into his room, and I knew something big was about to happen. Captain Zidgel is planning to propose to Zeena. Is this because of The Star-Crossed Three?
