I decided, for requests, I'm going to alternate between my Loud House request and Doug request I got every week, so that way, I can at least finish these up, so starting up first, we will be doing the Doug request with a brand new chapter! So, I hope the wait was worth it! Anyway, enjoy!

"The inside of Connie's house... how can I put it... it was fairly normal compared to everything else. But it didn't matter what the house looked like. She's no rich girl like Beebe, and it's not Patti's home, but... it's a nice, quiet place to hang out at. Occasionally, I wonder if Connie was even aware that I was looking at her cute face... and yes, Journal, I did say cute."

Inside Connie's home, as Doug and Connie were sitting around and doing homework together, Doug was looking towards the lovely thick girl as she was talking, "And you have no idea how much Beebe would brag about just how much she wanted to get near Skeeter. I know it's hard to believe, but she personally thinks the little honking noises she makes are kind of cute. But don't tell her I said that, okay?"

It was right around then that Connie had noticed Doug's little dreamy look toward her as she paused. "Uh, Doug? Did you get any of this? Doug?"

Doug wasn't even paying attention, but could only say the words, "Of course, Connie."

Connie paused in suspicion before a light smirk appeared on her face. "You know Doug, I bet I taste like strawberries, don't I?"

"Of course you do, Connie..." Doug said, his eyes still on her face.

"Ah ha." Connie giggled to herself. "I bet you're thinking about me every night, don't you?"

"That's very interesting, Connie..." Doug gave a nod, his eyes a little dazed.

"At this point, I was a little bit out of it. I couldn't help it, though. I couldn't help but keep thinking back to that accidental kiss that she and I shared and how Connie would give a sweet smile towards me. Sure, her body is pretty homely, but I can embrace that fact. Her sweet-as-honey personality, her cute face, her nice hair... I couldn't help but wonder why I even paid attention to Patti in the first place. Sure, I will admit that Patti and I hanging out were great times, but beyond her prettiness and our times together, would we have gotten together at some point? I like to believe I would have... but then there was Connie. Sweet, innocent Connie, a girl who has a marvelous singing voice and the girl who most likely got that solo. The more and more I thought about it, the more the urge to ask her to the dance was likely to become a reality..."

Connie paused as she leaned over Doug. "Doug, may I ask you a question? Am I cute?"

"Yes, as cute as a button." Doug said, though he wasn't really paying attention to her, but deep in his thoughts.

Connie put her hand on his as she said, "But not as cute as Patti... I'm guessing?"

"Not cute..." Doug started saying as Connie overheard what he said, sighing.

"Well, I guess you're in your own little fantasy world in that head of yours again, aren't you?" Connie sighed as she looked sadly towards Doug, knowing what she was thinking. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get Doug's attention... but why is it different this time? "Doug?"

Doug didn't give an answer as his eyes were still dazed. Connie paused as she looked towards Doug's lips as they seem to be open a bit. She then wondered to herself... "Perhaps... just one..."

Connie leaned her face towards Doug's as her lips began to pucker up... closer... closer... c...l...o...s...e...r...

Their lips met just as a flash appeared from out the window, but neither of the two had taken notice as Doug had snapped out of the trance he was in and noticed Connie was kissing him on the lips. At first, he was panicking, wondering how this situation had happened again... but he didn't talk... slowly, but surely, his mind started to get into the kiss as he returned the kiss back, much to Connie's surprise.

"Oh God, he's kissing back! Is he... is he thinking of Patti right now when he's kissing me? Am I taking advantage of him? OH GOD!" Connie thought to herself as she tried to separate herself from him, but the next thing she knew, Doug curled his arms around her, embracing her in a hug. "No, no, don't embrace me, stop making me feel worse!"

Watching from outside, Roger whistled a bit as he gave a smirk. "So, Funnie into Fatties. That would make a good title for this little adventure..."

Having seen enough, Roger slinked out of the bushes and ran off for home, eager to get started on his little project.

Back inside Connie's house, Doug and Connie separated as Doug gave a warm smile... and Connie turned away in embarrassment and guilt, but the boy didn't pay attention as Doug gave a chuckle. "Wow, uh, that was quite the unexpected turn... heh... heh..."

It was right at that moment Doug had noticed Connie feeling sad and down. "Connie? What's wrong?"

"Doug, I... I messed up! I'm sorry! I shouldn't ha-" Connie started, but groaned. "Maybe you should just go."

"Go? But wh-" Doug started.

"Just go!" Connie groaned. "Look Doug, I'm glad you spent some time with me... but I know where your heart truly lies... and you don't want someone like me."

"What are you talking about, Connie? I'm not-" Doug started.

"Please, just go!" Connie said as she got up and ran into her room, Doug just sitting down, stunned.

"I didn't know what I did at the time, so I was just left confused and heartbroken. I was about to tell her the kiss was amazing and how it would be wonderful to have her as a girlfriend. But as I later learned, Connie didn't understand and thought I was still dreaming about Patti, and was afraid that she broke her trust by kissing me. But, as I've mentioned, I didn't understand, and I didn't know what to do... so I had no other choice but to comply to her wishes. I packed everything up and started to head for home."

Doug was later seen walking the streets of Bluffington, backpack in hand as he looked around the setting sun in the sky, wondering to himself what he did wrong. Did the way he kiss Connie not satisfy her? Did he pull the moves on her too soon? If it was the latter... Doug winced as he looked down in disappointment. There he was, his mind had made up, about to confess to the girl he truly liked... and she pushed him away...

"Did I wait too long to reciprocate?" Doug asked to himself as he looked over towards the lake. He gave a sigh as he put a hand on his face. "We seemed to be clicking together so well... am I the one at fault here?"

Doug paused as he continued walking for home, hoping there would be some kind of answer tomorrow.

"The rest of the night went by in a flash, as I didn't properly remember what went on, but I knew I was too focused on Connie to think about anything else. Sometimes, I wonder if I could try and start over with her... maybe try to talk to her. And that was precisely what I decided to do come the next morning."

The next morning, at the school, Connie was a little more calmed down and more relaxed than she was the night before. But regardless, she still felt a little guilty. The green-skinned girl sighed to herself as she looked down. She didn't even want to look Doug in the eye right now...

"Connie, there you are!"

Connie yelped as she noticed Doug was about to approach her. She quickly looked around and dashed into the school building before Doug could catch up to her.

Doug stopped short as he noticed Connie running fast from him. "What is wrong with her?"

With no other thoughts on his mind, Doug decided to pursue after Connie as he entered inside the building...

...only to see that Connie had stopped in her tracks near the entrance, looking up at something with her eyes widening in horror. Doug, noticing the odd look on her face, wondered what she was staring at as he looked up.

"...Let me tell you something, Journal. The minute that your likely significant other looks up at something so horrific, the feeling of dread begins to burn deep in your body... with such despair. The minute I looked up to see what Connie saw... I immediately regret it."

There, up atop the ceiling where EVERYONE could see, was a white banner with green letters painted that said, "FUNNIE ENJOYS FATTIES!"

And I'll leave you guys off with that little cliffhanger right here! How did you guys like it? We're not too far from the ending of this story, guys, so hang tight! We only have at least three more chapters to go after this! Next time, Doug and Connie have a confrontation with the person responsible for the banner! Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
