Fanny had always been a boy hater. Or so it appeared. Actually there were some boys that she really liked. Hoagie P. Gilligan was part of this very small collection of males that Fanny didn't hate. Actually she more than liked him. She had a huge crush on the boy pilot. She had had one for 2 years now. Ever since he had slimed down and started looking like 'Hank' (Operation: KISS).
She licked her lips nervously as she stood outside Hoagie's door. At least if he hated her for this she didn't have to live here. She suddenly realized that if Wally and Nigel didn't like Kuki and Abby back then their friendships would be seriously damaged.
She gulped and pushed those thoughts away. She knocked VERY lightly on Hoagie's door. She hoped he wouldn't answer so she could tell the others that he was asleep. She was about to turn around and run back to the living room when Hoagie answered the door.
She caught her breath. He looked good. He was wearing yellow sunglasses. He had discarded the pilot's hat and goggles a few years ago. He was extremely tall and very slim. You'd never believe that he had been a marshmallow a couple of years back.
"Numbuh 86?" He stammered. "Can I help you?"
Fanny thought he was nervous because she usually yelled at him but actually she was only half right. The other truth was that he had a crush on her.
"Can I come in Hoagie?" She asked.
He looked extremely confused but opened the door wider. Fanny could see that he had been working on a new invention. As Hoagie looked at her in curiosity she racked her brains for something to say.
"Um... what are you working on?" she stammered nervously.
Hoagie brightened considerably. He loved talking about his inventions.
"Well I'm working on a new jet pack that is lighter but also powerful enough to be able to fly kids across a country."
"Oh. How's it coming?" Fanny asked.
His forehead wrinkled in thought. "Not very well. I mean I'll come up with something eventually but at the moment I've got nothing."
"I bet it'll be perfect." Fanny blurted out without thinking.
Hoagie looked at her in surprise. "Are you ok? I mean you haven't even yelled at me yet."
Fanny blushed and mentally cursed herself for being such a screamy kind of person. "Look Hoagie...er...Numbuh 2. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies sometime." She said this in a rush. Technically she was supposed to tell him that she liked him but a date was a start.
Hoagie looked VERY surprised but what his face didn't show was how happy he was.
Numbuh 86 asked you out! He thought. Fanny asked you on a date! Another part of his brain said, well answer her you idiot!!
Hoagie shook himself out of his thoughts and said. "Yeah sure. I'd like that."
Fanny, who had been looking at her feet looked up.
"Did you just say yes?" She asked fearful that it had been her imagination.
He grinned at her. "Yeah I said yes."
A thought crossed Fanny's mind. "Wait. You're not just saying yes because I'm your superior officer are you?"
Hoagie looked hurt. "No! I've... I've actually wanted to ask you out for a long time."
"You did?" Fanny said softly. "Why?"
Hoagie turned red. "Well because I... because I like you. A lot." He stammered.
Fanny walked over to him and said, "I like you to Hoagie."
Then she leaned up and kissed him on the lips. Hoagie's eyes widened for a second before he kissed her back. They broke apart in a few seconds.
"So Friday night good for you?" Hoagie asked.
Fanny was confused for a millisecond before she realized what he was asking.
"Defiantly." She said smiling.
She really has a nice smile. Hoagie thought.
"I wonder how Kuki and Abby did." Fanny said half to herself.
"What?" Hoagie asked. Fanny looked up at him and said, "You promise to keep this a secret?"
When he nodded she proceeded to tell him all about the dares. When she finished he started smiling.
" Crazy night." He said.
"You have no idea." Fanny muttered
