ÒYo, Pashi!Ó Stan called. ÒYea?Ó Pashmina asked. ÒI bought you this scarf Pashmina.Ó Stan said. Stan pulled out the scarf he had bought and gave it to her. Pashmina could have sworn it would have been blue or yellow. Then, she relized, Stan wasnÕt trying to be a flirt. He said her name instead of ÔgorgeousÕ or ÔbeautifulÕ. She slightly kissed him on the cheek. Stan blushed and his face grew light pink. Pashmina loved it when he blushed! He always looked so cute! Dexter grew very angry and soon relized Howdy dinÕt care the least bit. This made Dexter curious. ÒHowdy? DonÕt you care that Stan just stole our gal??Ó Dexter asked. ÒNot in the least bit partner!

No I like her more than I could ever like Pashmina...Ó Howdy said dreamily. Dexter sighed with relief. ÒGood.Ó Then Hannah came by. ÒOh, Hannah! I got somethin fer ya!Ó Howdy said. He blushed ever so slightly as he pulled out the apron he had bought her. ÒIt matches yer fur...Ó he said quietly. ÒOh, Thank ya Howdy! ItÕs beautiful!Ó Hannah exclaimed. ÒNot as beautiful as you, my darlin...Ó he whisperd. ÒOh, Howdy...Ó Hannah said quietly. She schmubby-wubbied him and he schmubby-wubbied her back. Dexter smiled.
