Well, it looks like Shifty and Nutsy have a real thing for each other. Even though it's interspecies romance, I think they make a perfect couple.

There was a knock at Nutsy's door and she opened it to see Shifty holding flowers. "I'm sorry I couldn't make you an art project so I picked you some flowers instead." he said, handing the flowers to Nutsy.

"They're beautiful. Thank you, Shifty." Nutsy said.

"I'm here to bake some cookies for my family. I'm almost positive Meatball will eat the whole batch, though." Shifty joked. Nutsy chuckled.

Nutsy's father walked in, "Oh, why hello there Shifty. It's always a pleasure to see you in our house."

The little dingo blushed, "I'm here to bake cookies for my family. Nutsy is gonna teach me."

"That's wonderful, I'll get the ingredients for you two." Nutsy's father said, smiling. The old koala tried looking for the ingredients but his memory failed him. "Now where are the eggs again?" he said to himself, scratching his head.

Blinky's mother stepped in, "What are you looking for and why is Shifty here?" she asked.

"I'm helping Shifty make cookies for his family." Nutsy said.

"Oh, well long as he doesn't try anything sneaky." she replied. Shifty felt a tear come to his eye and he sniffled a bit. The tear fell down the poor dingo's cheek and Nutsy gently wiped it with her thumb.

"Don't cry, Shifty. It'll be okay." Nutsy said.

"I still get the feeling she doesn't quite trust me, Nutsy." Shifty said sadly.

Blinky's mother had now gathered all the ingredients and presented them to Nutsy and Shifty, "Here you go, just don't make a mess." she said.

Nutsy and Shifty smiled at each other, "I've got the recipe..." Nutsy said. "So let's get cookin!" Shifty said, finishing Nutsy's sentence.

The two got to making the cookies right away, Nutsy put them in the oven and Blinky's mother set the temperature. The dingo and koala waited for the cookies to be done.

"You remember the wedding picnic, Shifty?" Nutsy asked the young dingo.

"Of course I do. That's the time I broke my leg and Blinky built me a wheelchair." Shifty smiled.

"When I was with you at dance practice, I looked into your eyes. I could see the scared, shy little kid in you. It just affected my soul in so many ways." Nutsy told Shifty.

Shifty blinked. He wasn't quite sure how to respond to a comment like that. "Thanks, Nutsy. I think..."

Nutsy smiled at him, "I could just get lost in your eyes forever."

The dingo and koala closed their eyes and leaned forward to kiss each other on the lips. Suddenly, they heard the oven timer ding and they broke the kiss. The cookies were done.

Blinky's mother took the cookies out of the oven and put them in a bag. She gave the bag to Nutsy. "Here you go, Shifty." Nutsy said.

"Thanks, Nutsy. So would you like to watch the sunset later at the beach? You know, just you and me?" Shifty asked Nutsy.

Nutsy threw her arms around Shifty, "Of course I would, Shifty!"

Blinky's mother rolled her eyes, she couldn't believe her stepdaughter had fallen in love with that dingo. "Okay, now you run along Shifty and give your family those cookies." She gently pushed Shifty out the door.

Nutsy glared at her stepmother, "I still can't believe the way you treat Shifty."

"I don't mind him as your friend but I don't like the idea of you dating him." Blinky's mother said.

"I think he's a fine boy for Nutsy." Nutsy's father said. "He's done so much for me and my daughter."

Blinky's mom just rolled her eyes and started washing the dishes.

Outside, Shiftly sadly dusted himself off and headed towards home. By the time he arrived, he knocked on the door and Daisy opened it.
