Omake 7: Trip in Love (3)

Beta-Reader: Ant0nius

"So… are you in love with Frankie, or not?"

"I'm not," Hope answered curtly, her frustration slowly creeped into her voice and making its presence clear to the one that questioned her on the spot.

Tiggs hummed, seemingly perplexed by this response. And that point of view was not unique to her, not from the way Vixy frowned when she narrowed her eyes. The Fox Prime had been interested in this topic because she had been showing some growing interest in humans. Nothing wrong in probing the situation before trying her hand at it, but the taller girl wasn't exactly that sure the situation was just as easy. A conversation with Miles told her everything about the situation despite the fact that Cat Prime himself seemed to be rather clueless on the 'logistics' behind this kind of development. He mentioned how he just couldn't envision how this did happen… beyond sheer dumb luck. Good luck in his mind considering that Frankie 'got something sweet out of it'. It was kind of amusing in a way, but also awful since these two didn't seem to take time to show if they were planning something serious or not. It was a nerve-wracking situation!

Still, Vixy didn't lose hold over her composure and ultimately nodded. "I'm sorry if I'm asking you a question others have already annoyed you about, but I just wish to make things clear since… you're looking at him."

The interruption caught Traci off-guard as she managed to pinpoint the target of the Gazelle Prime's glance just moments before she reacted to that sharp accusation. It was indeed Frankie, and the young man was currently busy chatting with Shin at the moment, only now feeling watched as he spotted the Tiger Prime and waved at her. The girl waved back, but focused on holding back the pure surprise at his action as she looked back at Hope. And her weak effort to hide the full-face blush away appeared due to being caught by the cheerleader. Vixy was more annoyed than anything else, but Tiggs could also see a degree of amusement in her face and she could tell her friend was about to press for more juicy details. And she did much to Hope's expected embarrassment. The girl's answers were still delivered with some reluctance, but something else appeared out of her words that made another element stand out. Despite her refusals, despite her best effort to make it clear she was not interested in Frankie, another rhetoric came out. One that focused mostly on the fact that she was also reluctant to outright dismiss him as a potential partner. What had started as a mere probe for a possible relationship turned into something else, with Vixy's own mood shifting away from frustration and slowly allowing some amusement the more she discovered the matter from a legitimate source.

Traci had to admit that there was some pure gold in terms of entertainment about this matter. Hope tripped. A lot. But it was a Frankie-only thing and that was absolutely amusing. There was no way anyone could think otherwise of the scene… well, beyond Hope. The girl was 'in shambles' as Frankie wasn't the one that she had been throwing her shots at and… yet, Vixy was quick to bring up how that could be tied with her magic. It took a moment for that idea to click with Tiggs as she remembered how the 'unlucky' girl was the oldest daughter of the Love Crest. Technically speaking, there was a chance that she manifested that degree of affection unconsciously, thus her powers took a rather 'accidental' route to make her see the err of her current mindset. That idea was dismissed without the Fox Prime having the chance to finish bringing that one up. A bit annoying, but Vixy didn't seem to care from the way she smiled at the highly-entertaining scenario. Here she was, understanding to the fullest how someone had staked claim over her current interest in the most amusing way possible. Hope's efforts to convince the girls otherwise seemed to fail as soon as a new development came. Shin had slowly made his way up to them and once he was close enough, he greeted the three girls.

"Hello."

Vixy reacted the quickest. "Shin, good morning."

"Morning," Tiggs replied chirpily, while Hope could only nod at him.

"Sorry to disturb you but Miles, Frankie, and I were planning to have a game night today and we wanted to know if you were interested in joining us."

"Oh? Well, tomorrow is the weekend and we don't have exercises with the other girls until the afternoon," Traci pointed out, her words met with acceptance by Vixy as she pondered on the matter herself.

"We could give it a shot," The Fox Prime confirmed. "What about you, Hope?"

"I'm not sure if-"

"Also, I think there is something I wanted to tell you regarding Frankie," The blond pointed out, drawing a curious look from the three girls, but mostly from Hope at the mention of that name. "He said that he would have kept away from being around you to avoid any issues since he mentioned that last time you got hurt while tripping on the ground. Even as we told him that it's not something that can be controlled, he thinks he is at fault for it."

And that was what got the young woman's jaw to drop while Tiggs and Vixy gave her a long look about it as it all tied up to what she told them. She didn't expect that entire situation, and she definitely looked mortified by the entire escalation. Up to the point of actually accepting the plans and actually making an effort to apologize about the ill-placed worry about the matter. Of course, in a curious fluke, Hope ended up tripping again while approaching the human, but Frankie moved fast enough to prevent disaster.

The end result? Hope's face was burning as she suddenly found herself sitting on his lap for a short amount of time. And she almost felt upset to herself for not lingering some more. What an infuriating situation!

This is just not going to end, isn't it?

AN

Nope. It's going to be as long as needed to make it the most amusing situation ever!

It's going to be the fluffiest thing possible.
