~*~
Tawnia was keen on staying distant from X-ray for the rest of the day. It was obvious that she was really worried because she had not once touched the radio in the Wreck Room. She sat on the worn out sofa, lost in thought.
"Hey, where's Squid?" Zigzag said to Magnet, who had just arrived from his shower.
"I dunno, man. I thought he was in here. He wasn't in the tent." Magnet replied.
"Where's . . . Jewel?" Zigzag said, his eyes getting wider. Magnet stayed silent for a moment.
"Naw, man." He said, his eyes getting wide too.
"Come on, guys, they know not to do that here!" Armpit said, a look on his face as though they were acting immature.
"But Jewel said something about using a-"
"They'll run out of those sooner or later!" Armpit said.
"They could recycle?"
"EEEEEEWWW!" Everyone said, looking disgusted at X-ray, who laughed.
"Just kidding." Tawnia groaned and hid her face from him. He had slid into the seat next to her when she wasn't looking.
"Anyways," Tawnia said, wanting to put her two bits in "I wouldn't want people talking about my love life when I'm out . . . doing my love life." She heard tapping behind her and realized that X-ray had put his arm on the seat behind her and was tapping his fingers. Her cheeks turned crimson and she cursed herself silently. Just then, Squid and Willa walked through the Wreck Room door looking amused.
"Can you get pregnant by-" Willa started to say.
"PREGNANT? YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Zigzag said, shooting out of his chair and pointing at Willa, his eyes wide. "OH MY GOSH, THEY RAN OUT OF-"
"EH! No, Zig, I'm not pregnant so . . . don't get a heart attack." Willa said, grabbing onto Zigzag's arm to calm him.
"You did IT, didn't you? Squid is now a man. And you're now-" Zigzag was saying, looking from Squid to Willa. After he said the last bit, however, Squid and Willa burst out laughing and was soon joined by everyone else.
"Zig! We didn't do anything! Pendanski caught us kissing in the tent and he took us to Mr. Sir's office and we got a big lecture." Squid said, managing to hold his laughs in long enough to speak. Willa had fallen over and was now cracking up on the floor.
"Well this is just a really interesting conversation." Tawnia said. X laughed.
"So I see you're okay now." He said. Tawnia's smile faded and she looked up at him.
"Please . . . not now." She said quietly. X nodded.
"Alright." He said, although he didn't stop looking at her. Tawnia stood up and crossed the room to the radio and turned it on. She began dancing to the radio, shaking her hips to the music. X-ray smiled and watched her dance. After a while he got up and joined her. She smiled at him and giggled as he began dancing along to the music with her. Everyone else in D- tent watched the pair dancing and then looked at each other.
"Looks like the dawning of X-Flirt." Willa said.
~*~
"That was fun." Tawnia said to X-ray as everyone headed into their tents for the night. "I didn't know you could dance that good."
"Yeah. I just didn't wanna get up in front of everyone and act a fool, you know?" X-ray said.
"Oh, are you trying to say I can't dance?" Tawnia said trying to sound tough, but smiling instead. X-ray laughed and played along.
"Eh, well you can take a few lessons from me and you'll be aight." He said. Tawnia pretended to look mortally offended.
"I can't believe you said that! Oh my gosh, X, that was cold!" She said. Without warning, she jumped on his back and tackled him to the ground, laughing. X-ray quickly grabbed her around the waist and pinned her down. Tawnia blinked and looked up at him.
"Okay, you caught me . . . again." Tawnia said. X-ray snorted a little.
"Maybe I should pay you back by sitting on you." X said. Tawnia laughed.
"Don't you dare! I'll smack you!" Tawnia said. X-ray made a movement to sit on Tawnia but she moved just in time and caused him to fall over on his bottom. Tawnia made to pin him down but he grabbed her wrists and tried to force her onto her back.
"No!" Tawnia exclaimed, and she jumped atop X-ray, pinning him down with a leg on each side of him. X-ray still had a grip on her wrists. Tawnia grinned. "Now you can't get away."
"Well, you can't get away until I can get away." X-ray said, tightening his grip on her wrists. Tawnia looked at him while pondering that sentence.
"I guess we're stuck here for a long time, huh?" Tawnia said.
"Yep." Tawnia giggled. They sat there for a moment, silent. The whole camp was almost asleep by this time.
"Flirt."
"Yes?"
"Would you . . . feel . . . uncomfortable if I . . . " X-ray said, then stopped in mid sentence.
"Continue." Tawnia said attentively. X-ray took a deep breath.
"If I said . . . that I like you." X-ray finished. He looked up at her warily to see her reaction. She smiled.
"I like you too." She said, gradually turning red. Their eyes met and they smiled.
"Cool." X-ray said, which was the only thing X-ray could think of saying at the moment. He then realized that he was still grasping Tawnia's wrists. "Sorry." He let go of her wrists.
"I . . . guess we should get to bed." Tawnia said, slowly getting up and then offering a hand to X-ray. He took it and hoisted himself from the ground.
"Yeah . . . " X-ray said.
"So . . . goodnight, then." Tawnia said. X-ray was staring at her and she realized that she was still holding his hand. She looked up at him, blushing, and was about to let go, but he held on and then gently took her other hand. He leaned in and kissed her gently. She closed her eyes and slowly kissed back, both barely believing that this moment was finally happening. The kiss ended and their eyes met. Tawnia smiled and turned redder than a tomato. X-ray smiled.
"Goodnight." He said, kissing her lightly on the cheek before turning around and heading towards D-tent. Tawnia stood there for a moment looking wistful, then turned to flounce towards the girls' tent.
"JEWEL!" Tawnia yelled when she entered the tent. There was a scream and Willa tumbled off of her cot.
"What the tootin' blazes are you doing, Flirt?" Willa said grumpily, picking herself up off the ground.
"X-ray kissed me!"
"What?" Willa said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"X-ray. Kissed. ME!" Tawnia said excitedly. She squealed and Willa glared at her.
"Jeez, okay, he kissed you! You don't need to scream." Willa said. She did a double take. "Oh my gosh, he did! Aww, X-Flirt! How cute!"
"I know!" Tawnia said. "WAIT! What did you call me?" Willa put an innocent look on her face.
"I called you X . . . Flirt." She said.
"Oohh . . . okay Squidilla." Tawnia said. Willa smiled and threw a pillow in Tawnia's face.
