"Every day I'm grateful and feel lucky that you're my partner."
"As you should Fluff."
[punch - gentle]
"WOO! WOO! WOO!" [running and screaming]
"Uh..."
"WOO! WOO! WOO!"
"Um..."
"WOO! WOO! WOO!"
[sigh]
"WOO! WOO! WOO!"
"Note to self; never call in favors to get backstage passes."
"WOO! WOO! WOO!"
"I'm getting tired just watching this."
"WOO! WOO! WOO!"
...
"You should have seen your face, Fluff."
"It wasn't that funny."
"Is that what I look like when I go 'WHAT?'"
[glare] "Fine. It was kind of funny." [chuckle]
"I am sorry...at least a little; joking about kits like that probably went too far."
"Apology accepted. Thank you."
"So this is where you tell me the same."
"About what?"
"All those conversations with your mom? Picking out a last name? Picking a date and guest lists?"
"What about them?"
"This is where you tell me those were a joke that you probably took a little too far. Very well done though. You really had me going."
"Oh. Ha ha. Yeah. About that."
"Well?"
"Um..." [blushes]
"Carrots?"
"We've narrowed it down to May."
"WHAT?"
"So how much longer till they let you out of here?"
"Three...maybe four days. They have a few final tests to run."
"Almost home Nick." [smiles]
"Yeah...and then at least 3 weeks of rest and some PT, but hey it's progress. I guess. I'm just dying from the boredom laying here."
"Oh."
"After so many weeks it's like let me out of here or just kill me already. You know?" [smiles]
"Um." [trembles]
"Carrots?"
"Let's uh..." [sniffle] "...let's neither of us...um" [tears]"...make those kind of jokes again. Okay?" [wipe eyes]
[open/close mouth] [swallow] "Sorry." [whispered] [hugs]
"You almost done in there?"
"Yeah. Sorry it took so long Fluff."
"OH MY GOODNESS." [stares]
"What?"
"It's...it's...your...it's huge!" [wide eyes]
"Oh, yeah. That usually happens when I give it a good scrubbing. It was overdue."
"Can I...can I touch it?" [drool]
"Well...I don't know. That's a pretty intimate thing for us foxes." [smirk]
"PLEASE!" [whine]
"Fine." [chuckle]
[nuzzle] [mewing]
"Uh...Carrots?"
[more nuzzling and mewing]
"Carrots!"
"Hmm?" [dreamily]
"You okay?"
"Yes. Stay. Stay. Right. There."
"Uh..."
"Okay. One coat is plenty of fur."
"CARROTS!"
[click] [buzz]
"Nick?"
"Hmm?"
"How come you never say you love me?"
[open/close mouth] [ears down] [gulp] [whine]
