After hearing that, Jr. jumped in surprise.
"What?!" He yelled.
"Shut up you two!" Said Freddy Sr, grumpy and sleepy, turning his back to them.
"S-Sorry!" Said Jr. He turned to Honey.
"Why do you say that?" He asked, whispering. Honey blushed.
"Well... He... umm... He's really nice to me! And... I think he's cute" She responded, smiling embarrassed.
"So... what are you planning to do?" Asked Jr. Honey's smile disappeared.
"D-Do you think I should tell Chipper I love him?" She asked, nervous.
"Don't you think you're being a little too precipitated?" Asked Jr, looking worried.
"Why?" Asked Honey.
"He just hugged you once" He responded.
"B-but... doesn't that mean he likes me?" She asked. Jr. started thinking.
"Well... He asked me to teach him good manners because Nibbles said he was being too rude with you. Maybe he likes you but is only doing that to prove Nibbles' wrong" Said Jr.
"So he likes me?!" Honey looked excited. Jr. had never seen Honey like that.
"I don't know... probably..." Said Jr.
"We better go to sleep, little sister" He completed, lying his head on the wall again.
"Alright..." Said Honey, but she didn't sleep soon. She passed some time thinking about Chipper.
"W-What is this feeling in my chest?" She thought.
The next day, Honey went to the supply closet to read her book. For her surprise, Chipper was already there before her, reading his comics. Honey blushed. She was happy to see him there but at the same time was nervous.
"G-Good morning, Chipper" She said, smiling. Her face was still blushing.
"Hi, Honey!" He said, happy. He got up and hugged Honey the same way he did yesterday. Honey blushed even more, yet, she tried to hug him back. Her arms were shaking. Before she could hug him he let her go and went back to his reading. Seeing she failed even in hugging him. She became sad.
"Are you ok, Honey?" He asked, worried.
"I... I am... I'm just... sleepy" She said.
"Alright. Sorry, I gotta go back to reading! I'm almost done with all of them!" Said Chipper, looking excited.
"Really? How much time did you spend reading them?" Asked Honey, looking surprised.
"I don't know... maybe a month or two..." He said, picking up the comic again. Honey picked up her book, but instead of sitting immediately. She looked around. Nervously, she sat right at Chipper's side. He didn't appear to notice that, since he was so concentrated on the comic.
Honey looked at him. She didn't know what to do, so she started talking.
"C-Chipper..." She started, nervous.
"Hmm?" He was not paying attention.
"Is there anyone you... well... like?" She asked.
"Why are you asking this? You idiot!" She thought, making herself even more nervous.
"yeah... you!" He said, still not paying attention.
"Chipper?!" Honey gasped in surprise. Her face went red.
"... And my mom, my dad, and Mr. Bonnie... I like all of you!" Said Chipper. Honey felt relieved, but at the same time sad. She opened her book and tried to read it, but she couldn't keep her concentration. She then decided to continue the conversation.
"And... what about Nibbles? Don't you like her?" She asked. Chipper made an annoyed expression.
"I... I don't like her! Uh... well... I do, but..." Chipper tried to explain himself. He gave up and went back to his comic with an angry expression. Honey felt bad for making that happen.
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have asked about that!" Said Honey, panicking. She covered her face with her ears and started crying. Chipper looked at her, worried.
"Uh... Sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry because of your question..." He apologized. She didn't respond. She just kept crying. Chipper, not knowing what to do, started patting her head nervously. She stopped crying, looking at him with a confused face.
"Y-you don't have to cry because of that!" He said, with a forced smile. Trying to make her feel better.
"Thank you, Chipper..." She said, cleaning her tears. Honey suddenly hugged Chipper, making him surprised. He didn't know how to react, so he hugged her back.
"Uh... Honey?" he started to speak.
"What, Chipper?"
"You're suffocating me" Said Chipper. Honey let go of him.
"I'm sorry..." She said, blushing again. She backed off. He patted her head again.
"Anyway, thanks for the hug" He said, smiling. He went back to his comic. She picked up her book and started to read it, but now she was feeling happy.
Some time later, Chipper finished reading. He put the comic back on the pile and stood there, looking sad.
"Are you ok, Chipper?" Asked Honey, worried.
"Nothing, just... I'm happy for finishing... But... I don't know what to do now" Said Chipper. Honey didn't know what to say, but she wanted to make him feel better.
"D-Do you want to read The Lord of the Rings with me?" She asked, blushing and smiling. Chipper looked at her and at the book as if he was thinking.
"Sure..." He said, getting near her. She blushed. Nervously she started to read the book for him.
Meanwhile, Nibbles was cuddling with Jr. on the stage. She hugged him, but he looked distracted.
"What's wrong, Jr? Are you ok?" Asked Nibbles, worried.
"Uuh... it's nothing, Nibbles" Said Jr.
"Don't lie to me" She said, mad.
"Sorry... it's Honey... She told me she liked Chipper" Said Jr. Nibbles became surprised.
"Really?! That is nice! I'm happy for my big brother!" Yelled Nibbles, excited. She jumped from the stage.
"Wait, Nibbles! Where are you going?!" Asked Jr.
"I'm gonna give my congratulations to Chipper!" Said Nibbles, going to the supply closet.
