*The Dare*
[Marlene's POV]
"It's just that, well I wanted to know if you'ld like to go out on a date with me? Tonight?" That was what Skipper asked me. I was in shock. Skipper, aka Mr. Elite Commando, who belives that all mammals are morons and who has also abandoned me in a metal cage and a plastic volcano, actually asked me out. This is just so...so...so out of the blue. I calm myself down some and see that Skipper looks even more nervous then he did while asking and then it hits me: I never answered him. Oops!
"Um sure! I'll meet you at the Zoovineer Shop in an hour then." I hoped my voice didn't give away how nervous I felt inside.
"Ten-four on that Marlene. I'll see you then." He left, sliding out on his belly.
When felt that he was gone and no one was listening I squealed and started giggled like an idiot. Skipper asked me out! Skipper asked me out! Skipper asked me out! I mean I've had a crush on Skipper for sometime now, but...but this was just unexpected. I mean I've seen how Skipper acts when he likes a girl and he's never acted like thst around me. Well he did when my fur was bleached white and everyone thought I was an otter named Arlene, but that technically doesn't count...does it? No, it doesn't.
Then I realize something important: I only have an hour to get ready!
"What am I going to wear? What am I going to wear? What? Am? I? Going? To? Wear?" I quickly tore though my house looking for all the clothes my mother sent me. Where are they? Oh, here they are. I leaf though all the dresses, shirts, and skirts looking for something to wear. Something blue? Something green? Something red, orange, yellow, or black? A dress or shirt and skirt? A wig or no wig? A feather, ribbon, or headband. Jewelery? Make-up? What? What? What? What?
As I'm leafing though I get an idea. I search and search until I find what I'm looking for. Found it! I set the pieces out and take a stap back. Perfect! This outfit is just to die for adorable. I giggle because Skipper actually gave me the idea for this look. 'Cute and Naive'. I quickly slip into the outfit, do my fur, and make-up. Then I look into my full length mirror. Awesome! Definatly 'Cute and Naive' with a bit of a heartbreaker in the mix. I smirk and twirl a bit.
I am so ready!
I look out to see if its time yet. Five more minutes. I head over to the Zoovineer and pray that all goes well.
What did you think? And do not lie! Tell the truth! R&R!
