101 PashyPandy Moments

Oh my, I haven't written in ages! I'm sorry for the tremendously long wait! D: Oh now I feel bad. XD Well hope this chapter was worth the wait! Hope that it doesn't sound too cliché!

Theme: Fireflies

Moment Num. 11:

She watched the millions of fireflies dance around her in the summer night, her face aglow with the light of the bugs. She was waiting for her best friend of ten years. He was her closest of the close of friends she had, even closer than Sandy, Bijou, and even her little sister Penelope. Even though they were all very close and good friends none could compare to the close relationship that they had. She was waiting for him to arrive; he wanted to meet with her to tell her something he has been waiting to tell her for a while. What that something is, she could only hope.

And hope she did. She had a secret, a secret that many people knew except the person who it was about. She had a MAJOR crush on her best friend. She would never admit it but everyone knew it. Even the oblivious Hamtaro knew she had a crush on the black haired boy. No matter how many hints she dropped, clues she left, he just couldn't get the picture that she liked him through his head. 'Blinded by love is an understatement.' She thought. She thought about all the things that she loved about him. His shining black eyes and soft black hair, his tanned skin and toned body. To his infectious smile and adorable laugh. And definitely his amazing personality. He was definitely her dream boy, and she just only hopes that she's his dream girl. 'Now if only I had a fairy godmother like Cinderella.' She thought, a smirk growing on her face.

Tucking her golden blonde hair behind her ear she let out a deep sigh. He was ten minutes late. 'What's taking him so long?' she thought. 'He's never late to anything.' Just then he heard the call of the boy who she was just now waiting for. She turned her head in the direction she heard his voice. She saw him running towards her, his shaggy black hair hiding his shining black eyes as he ran, trying - but failing- to keep his hair out of his face. She called to him, "What took you so long?" with a sarcastic tone as she stood up to meet his panting figure.

He caught up to her, breathed, and said, "Cat…and…dog…wouldn't…stop," he took a deep breath as he tried to put his explanation into words, "there were these cats and dogs, wouldn't stop trying to murder each other. Then when I tried to break it up they started attacking me, which led to me running. Then that caused me to get lost." He finished as he wiped away the sweat that was growing on his forehead.

"I never thought that would happen. But it is very Panda-like." She said with a laugh that he was all too familiar with.

"And that scarf is very Pashmina-like." He retorted with a smirk she was all too annoyed with.

"Wow, these fireflies are amazing." She said as the two sat down on the bank together, their feet - now removed of any footwear they had on earlier- dangled and splashed in the water.

'Just like you.' He thought as he stared intently at her. He watched as her twinkling hazel eyes followed a baby firefly, circling around what he thought was its parents. She held out her hand as the baby firefly came and landed on her. "I love fireflies, don't you?" She asked as she turned her head to look at him.

"Yeah. Hey remember that thing we came up with in, like, first grade?"

"Yeah! I remember, every time you catch a firefly you get to kiss the person you like! But we could never even catch one because we were so clumsy!" She said with a laugh.

"Want to try it now? I have two jars in my backpack." He said as he pointed over to his backpack.

"I would love to."

Soon after they were running around trying to catch a firefly, but neither of the two could even get close to one before it flew off into the night. Pashmina, frustrated, pulled her long hair into a pony-tail, rolled up her sleeves and jeans, discarded her precious scarf into her backpack, and started to wade into the water. With jar in hand she was determined to catch the flashlight of nature. She came close to catching one, but instead of having a glow in her glass jar, she ended up with a jar full of lake water and laying chest deep in water.

"Congrats, Pash, you've caught yourself a jar full of water." Panda said with a laugh as he helped her out of the water.

"Hey now, don't poke fun at me. You're having just as much luck as I am." Pashmina said, mentioning over to his empty jar.

He laughed, for he knew she was right. He hasn't even come close to capturing their goal. They waded out of the lake and sat down on the towels they had set up earlier that day. She sat down and patted the area next to her, motioning for him to sit down too. He plopped down next to her and laid his head down. He let out a sigh, acknowledging that he had a deep thought growing in his head. He turned his head to look at her. "Do you think people can still be friends after they've dated each other?" Panda asks her, looking her in the eye.

"Sure, why not? It's not like they weren't friends before." Pashmina replies turning her head to face him, her now soaking hair hitting her face slightly.

"Well wouldn't things be, like, super awkward? It's like you two dated then you broke up because it didn't work out. Then every time you hang out together then it would be like…weird."

"Well when you put it that way I guess it'd make things harder. But why shouldn't guys and girls just be friends after dating?"

"Because the almighty cupid won't allow it." He said with a laugh.

"Cupid? Or the people?" She asked, looking into his eyes intently. Silence past for a few seconds. Panda saw the baby firefly come closer to him. He held out his hand for the firefly as it landed. Then he gently put it into his jar and closed the lid. "Caught one."

"Now why didn't I try that before?" She whispered with a giggle.

"So what was that thing we came up with in first grade?" He asked, with a mock look of confusion on his face.

"If you catch a firefly you get to kiss the person you like." She replied, not knowing were this was going. How could he forget that little rule they made when they were little. They had met in this very spot when the fireflies were plenty, getting ready to capture a firefly.

"Oh really now? Is that what it is?"

"You're acting as if you've never even heard it bef-. " But before she could finish her sentence Panda leaned in and locked his lips with hers.

Taken by surprise she didn't know whether to push him away or kiss him back. She decided in the end to kiss him back. Panda took her by the waist as she wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Moments passed by till they had to come up for air. "So, who do you like?" Pashmina asked teasingly.

"Shall I show you again?" Panda asked, a smirk dancing on his face.

"That sounds like a good idea." She said as he pulled her into another kiss again.

'Fireflies are definitely my favorite.'
