Tobey picked up Becky at 6:00 exactly that night.
"Aww Tobey. You look so nice." Mrs. Botsford said."What's the occasion?" Tobey wore a white collared shirt and some black pants.
" Today's my birthday, Mrs. Botsford." Tobey smiled." And I plan on spending it with Becky."
" That is so sweet." Mrs. Botsford cooed just as Becky came down."Well... I shouldn't stop you two. I'll see you later." Tobey and Becky walked out hand in hand.
" Tobey, I thought you would spend your birthday with your mom." Becky said.
"Well, I've spent sixteen birthdays with her. I can spend one with you." Tobey replied.
"Aww... so where are we going?"
" You'll see." Tobey drove for about five minutes to a hill overlooking the city. The stars were out and the moon was bright. Tobey came out with a blanket.
"We're going stargazing." Becky said in awe.
" Yep." Tobey unfolded the blanket and the two laid down, looking at the sky.
" Hey Tobey... if we're only going stargazing, why are you wearing a collared shirt?"
" To make a good impression." Tobey smirked. That smirk was-
"Hold on! Wait!" Ovis exclaimed, back at first period." Does Becky know of his intentions yet?"
"Ovis..." I glared at him."Narrator was in the middle of telling the story."
"No... it's quite alright. I remember where I left off." The Narrator said."So back to stargazing..."
The two watched as the stars sparkled over them. The city was quiet and there was no crime. Part of that reason was because he begged the Villain Association to give him a peaceful night without any crime.
"So Becky..." Tobey turned to his side to face her.
" Yeah, Tobey?"
"I... uh... just wanted to let you know that I love you."
"Me too, Tobey." Again, there was silence. Becky sat up, starting to shiver.
" It's a bit cold for October..." Becky said."Can we go back in the car?"
"Sure..." Tobey mumbled. Little did Becky know, his original plan was to-
"Ooh! Now I'm wondering... did Becky say yes or no?" Ovis blurted out.
"If you listen to the story, maybe you'll learn something." The Narrator said through gritted teeth.
" Dude..." Ecce said." Let Narrator finish the flashback."
" Thank you." The Narrator thanked."So as I was saying..."
Little did Becky know, Tobey's original intention was to ask her to make love under the stars. Seeing that his plan A was slowly being destroyed, Tobey thought of a quick comeback.
"I have another blanket in the car. Maybe we could cover up with that." And with that, Tobey jumped up and dashed to the car. He opened his trunk and started searching rapidly."Please hope to dear god that I have another blanket..." He searched until the fabric of a second blanket touched his hands." Yes!" He grabbed the second blanket and headed back to Becky, putting the blanket on both of them as they laid back down.
" Thanks." Becky smiled. Tobey snuggled up next to her.
" Is that warm enough for you?"
"Aww... you're sweet, Tobey." Becky replied. The two looked at each other for a few seconds before-
"Uh, Narrator?" Ovis started.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" The Narrator exploded."HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU INTERRUPTED THIS STORY?!" Ovis kept his mouth shut."Alright."
The two locked into a kiss. It seemed that Tobey's plan was going well so far.
The Narrator stopped the conversion and turned to Ovis.
" The answer to the first question is no. She didn't know at the time. The answer to the second question... is coming up. So listen. And what was the third question?"
" When did Becky find out?" Ovis asked.
"Hold up..."
Tobey deepened their precious kiss. After a minute or two, Tobey stopped and faced Becky. Well... he was already facing Becky, but you get it. With a smile, he started to speak.
"Rebecca... words can't explain how much I love you." Tobey's eyes narrowed down and gave a lecherous smile." Which is why I want to show you, Becky..." At that moment, everything clicked inside Becky's head.
"Tobey... I'm not quite sure if we should..." Becky responded.
"Please? I mean it's perfect. Here we are. Alone under the stars on the perfect night."
"Yes... I see the stars. But the stars come out on any fine night. Why tonight? What makes it so-" She stopped herself there, realising why Tobey picked this day." Is it because it's your birthday?"
"I mean... it could be part of it. It wasn't the only reason."
"Tobey... I love you to the ends of the galaxy. But..."
"Ah yes..." I, being the Narrator, cut in." The dreaded but... what almost every girl in the world says before explaining why they can't do something."
"You're ruining the moment." Tobey muttered.
"Sorry." I apologised. Tobey looked at Becky in anticipation.
" Tobey, there are three reasons why I can't do this tonight."
" And what are the three?"
"One... we're only teens. What happens if during this night... you just happened to..."
" You think I haven't thought of that? I've been in Mrs. Doyle's class long enough to know about the whole pregnancy factor."
" Which is why before he came to pick you up, he bought a pack of condoms at the nearest Walgreens." I added in.
"No one asked for your input. This is between Becky and I." Tobey snapped. He turned back to Becky."First problem solved. What's the second reason?"
" You know I'm WordGirl. And as WordGirl, I have super strength..."
" You've been able to keep it down. What makes you think you'll lose control now?"
" He has a point." I muttered.
" Now I know why Tobey doesn't like you." Becky retorted.
" And the third one?" Tobey asked.
"Well... I'm a bit scared."
" If it all comes down to this... I can't rush you." Tobey said."I hope this doesn't change anything."
"Oh it will." I said." You both will leave, wondering what would happen if Becky said yes."
" Stop. You're making me feel guilty..." Becky said.
" Think about it this way... he'll try again."
"Oh shut up and get a night job." Tobey remarked.
" Alright!" I exclaimed. So after all of this, Tobey and Becky rode back home in silence. Becky smiled, gave Tobey a kiss on the cheek, wished him happy birthday, and went inside her house. Tobey decided to go straight home.
"So Tobey..." Mrs. McCallister said as her son walked in." How was your date?"
"Good." Tobey played off a smile as he walked upstairs. Mrs. McCallister focused on her son for a second before yelling,
"THEODORE! Get down here!"
" What, Mom?" Tobey groaned in complaint. She reached into Tobey's left pocket to show one of the precious condoms he had bought at Walgreens.
" Why do you have this?" At this point, Tobey was in shock.
" What does it matter?"
"Were you going to use this?"
" Going to." He muttered." Never got to."
" So you went and tried to screw a girl. I'm guessing because of this that you didn't succeed."
" You're right."
" Tobey... go upstairs! No robots for a week!"
"But mom..."
" Now!" Tobey sighed as he walked upstairs, the day coming to an end.
" And I'm finished!" The Narrator exclaimed.
"Aww... now I feel bad for him." I said."But not that much."
"I have no sympathy for you, either." Tobey retorted. All of a sudden, Samron stomped in with Mr. Parkson.
"Ovis... why have you ditched class?" Mr. Parkson asked.
"I was asking my sister if our parents did well on their interview." Ovis lied. Samron took Ovis by the hair and dragged him out.
"You troublesome nephew. You're not allowed in this school until 1:56. Now go to your actual class." Ovis muttered a few curses before being dragged out of the school.
" Thank god he's gone." The Narrator sighed. The bell rang and we all went to our next classes. Things just got real in the 11th grade. But it's what you do with those things that make it so fun.
