Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends – Part 4

Previously on Foster's… Mac meets Tessa's older "sister" Andy and grows a little closer to his new best friend. Little does he know, someone else likes him, now we go to a few weeks later…

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Bloo screamed, "I GOTTA LET SOMEONE KNOW OR I'M GONNA BLOW!" Tessa then entered the room.

"Let someone know what?" she asked curiously.

"Uh, nothing…" Bloo said sinking down slowly. Tessa raised one eyebrow. "Alright! If I tell you, you've gotta tell me a secret."

"O-kay…" Bloo was intimidated by how closely Tessa was listening which only made him more embarrassed.

"I like Honey…" he mumbled, and when Tessa just shrugged he added, "a lot."

"Ohhhhh…" Tessa said, "well, why don't you tell her?"

"NO! Are you nuts? I can't say that! It'll ruin my reputation! I'm not supposed to show interest in girls! I mean I shouldn't be worried, I'm "bloo" hot. Hissss," he boasted pretending to extinguish a flame on his backside.

"Yeah, Honey thinks so too," Tessa sighed under her breath.

"Huh? You say somethin'?"

"No," Tessa replied shaking her head. "Well, my secret is… never mind, you'd laugh."

"No! I won't! Tell me, PLEASE!" Tessa hesitated while looking into Bloo's "innocent" little eyes.

"Fine, IlikeMac, OK, THERE I SAID IT, HAPPY!" (No, that's not a typo, she said it real fast and together.) Bloo grinned evilly.

"Oh, what good piece of info. Not that I'm gonna tell Ma…" He was cut off by an unpleasant jerk backwards. Before he knew it, he was facing an outraged Tessa, and trust me, you don't wanna make her mad! (Sucks thumb.)

"ALRIGHT LOOK, BLOOREGARD! YOU LET IT 'SLIP' TO MAC, AND I WILL PERSONALLY TELL HONEY THAT YOU LIKE DUCHESS! KAPEESH!"

"Yeah, whatever 'kapeesh' means," he whimpered.

Meanwhile…

Honey flew around the house looking for the genius 8-year-old boy who would surely understand a little infatuation of her own. She found him in the dining room doing his homework.

"Hey, Mac, can I tell you…" she started.

"Oh, hey, Honey! Can you help me real quick?" Mac interrupted.

"Uh, sure?"

" 'In Ohio, if a train from Columbus goes 20 miles an hour and a train coming from Dayton goes 80 miles an hour (whoa, that's one fast train!) And they both depart at 6:00 a.m. will they ever meet up?'" This took a while for Honey to figure out. She wasn't any smarter than Terrance.

"Uh, that depends, which one crashes first?" she said finally. Mac stared at her funny. (Gee, wouldn't we all?) "Everybody lives?" Honey giggled nervously. Mac continued to gaze at her strangely. Then after a while he wrote down an answer.

"So, what's on your mind?" he asked, rubbing his eyes.

"Not what. Who. Bloo to be exact," she grumbled, mortified.

"Heh, that's funny. I don't understand you. I haven't understood you since that math problem," Mac joked, "no seriously, what?" Honey glared at him. Her ears and tail started to curl and she started to fade a light blackish color. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you!"

"Yeah, I like, Bloo. A lot. Not just a little. I mean I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really…"

"Alright, alright! I get the picture!"

"But you don't think it's… funny? Do you?" Honey asked concerned. Mac looked into her eyes and finally replied,

"No, I like somebody too, you don't see me worried, do you?"

"Mac," Honey said, "it's so obvious that you like Tessa! You make it sound like some big shocker secret! I'm surprised she doesn't know! I mean, for the past two weeks you've tripped over your words when you talk to her!"

"I do not!" Tessa walked into the room at that moment. (Sheesh, you'd think she was teleporting or something.) "Hi T-T-Tessa. How are you don- I mean doob- I mean doing?" Mac stuttered. Tessa smiled slightly.

"Great," she replied simply. Mac grinned pleased with himself after Tessa left. Then he looked at Honey who was giving him the, "I toldja so," look.

"I stand corrected," he sighed bleakly. Honey just shook her head, turned on her heel, and walked off to find Bloo.
