Previously… Honey finds out who likes her… besides Bloo. None other than Mr. Herriman… Now a few hours later at 2:58 p.m.…
Mac and Tessa strolled down the sidewalk to Foster's, chit-chatting along the way.
"So, when's your birthday, Mac?" Tessa asked.
"May 15th," Mac replied.
"Hey! Mine's on May 16th!"
"And mine's today!" a voice said behind them. They whirled around to meet a pimply-faced teenager cracking his knuckles evilly. In other words you could say, Terrance Kazoo.
"Terrance… you're birthday's not for 5 more months," Mac said teasingly.
"SHUT UP, TWERP!" Terrance screeched.
"Who be you?" Tessa asked a little stunned.
"Oh! Proper intro! Tessa, my older brother, Terrance. Terrance, my new friend, Tessa. Now for proper education… … … RUN LIKE THE WIND! The three of them ran for at least 5 blocks before they reached the Foster's gates.
"You know, Mac- pant- it's a good thing Andy isn't here or- (ow cramps! Gosh I'm in bad shape for eight!)- we'd be toast!" Tessa commented.
"Who is…" But before Mac could finish, another 13-year-old wearing a white shirt with ripped sleeves, jeans, and was completely hairless, jumped out of the bushes and screamed,
"Come here, Nerds!"
"AUGH! IT'S ANDY!" Tessa shrieked. So, they got chased around a little longer before…
"Have no fear! Blob Boy and Bunny… bird… fox… girl is here!" Bloo announced. Honey swapped him on the head with her tail.
"OW! Whad' I do whad' I do?" Honey rolled her big anime eyes. Then they noticed that Mac and Tessa were receiving atomic wedgies while Bloo and Honey were being… let's just say themselves.
"AUGH! OKAY I GIVE! I GIVE!" they shrieked in terror. Terrance and Andy just dropped them on their faces. (That's gonna leave a mark!)
"Okay, we surrender, do your worst…" Tessa mumbled.
"Don't worry," Terrance and Andy said in unison, "this'll only hurt for a second!"
BAM! Before they knew what hit them, Terrance and Andy looked up at a very angry Honey.
"IF YOU TOUCH MY FRIENDS, I WILL TORMENT YOU UNTIL- uh – YOU MOVE AWAY!" she hissed sinisterly.
"Aah! Let's get outta here!" Andy screamed and they two stupid teens ran like a lion was chasing them.
Mac got up, brushed himself off, and helped Tessa to her feet.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I've had worse. Uh- my hand?" Tessa said nervously. Mac, then realizing he hadn't let go of her hand, blushed and put his hands in his pockets.
"Um, sorry about my sister, Mac," Tessa said shyly.
"Why? Whad' she ever do to me?" Mac asked.
"She just gave you an atomic wedgie!" Mac was silent, it had finally hit him, Andy was short for Andrea. He couldn't find anything to say. She looked exactly like a boy!
"…That…was your sister? … … Awkward…" he said finally.
"Yes, yes! I'm very ashamed to be related! Sheesh…" Tessa growled.
"But she's so ugly and you're so pretty!" Tessa looked at him surprised. Bloo and Honey (who Mac and Tessa were completely oblivious to their presence) looked a little shocked too. It took Mac a few seconds to catch what he had said. "I mean, you're a lot nicer looking than her!" he said quickly. Tessa kinda looked at her feet and blushed… This was about as much as Bloo could take.
"Uh, hello? Aren't you forgetting us!"
"Oh! Right, sorry guys," Tessa said changing the subject. As they walked to the house, Mac felt something strange and he knew what it was. He didn't want to be Tessa's friend. He wanted to be something else. Her boyfriend. But how would a nerd like him ever find a way to tell her? At that very moment, Mac didn't realize it, but someone else was thinking about the very same thing. Somebody veryclose to him.And she was thinking about him…
