Alph's POV
Two days after we returned from our wild vacation, many Koppaites wanted us to give speeches of the various fruits we found. We readily agreed, always happy to share our stories.
The job was left mostly to Brittany and me, because Captain Charlie's occupation had caught up to him and was already getting him busy.
"This adorable specimen was the first thing we found on this planet that wasn't gigantic! These little red globes are the perfect size for our hands and the juice inside makes a good meal. This makes a perfect sustenance for the lunchbox!" Brittany had summed up a tiny fruit we called the Juicy Gaggle.
Pictures and notes were taken at a rapid rate. We paused for a minute or two to let the viewers do what they had to do before moving to the next fruit.
Without looking ahead, Brittany had started to address the next fruit, "Now everyone, over here we have… uh…"
"It's the Mock Bottom." I whispered to her whilst trying to keep a straight face. We stopped in front of the fruit. With everyone listening intently.
She whispered back, "I know… but should I call it that?" She giggled a little.
"So what's this one called?" Someone asked loud from the crowd.
Brittany hesitated, "Um yes… It's called." She took a deep breath, "Mock Bottom."
Confused looks and curiosity words were swapped among the crowd.
"Why do you call it that?" Came an expected question.
Me and Brittany stood there, ready to say it and face the consequences of our imagination.
I cleared my throat, "We called it that because of how it looks."
Everyone eyed it carefully for a few seconds before a few people started to 'get it'. It didn't take long after that for all minds to 'go there.'
Hilarity was high, and so were the interrogation levels.
"Why would you guys think of that?"
"Who would've thought our heroes could have such wild ingenuities?"
"Of all things it had to look like that!"
None of these questions or statements were said with seriousness. Everyone was laughing, all the while Brittany and I were left feeling embarrassed. Even though this whole thing was HER fault, I took the heat with her. Because that's what you do when you love someone right? I couldn't just throw her under the bus.
"Um… yes, well anyway!" Brittany collected herself, "The specimen is slightly fuzzy and has a high juice content."
So everyone went back to their cameras and notepads, the laughter had been reduced to quiet snickering. Fortunately, this would be our last review for today. So we didn't have to be here for much longer.
"At least everyone will go back home on a happy note." Brittany muttered to me.
"Yeah, that's true." I replied, "But now everyone thinks we're… you know."
"Who cares? We saved the planet!"
She then announced, "Well, that's all the time we have for today! Be careful on your way home everyone!"
"Thank you all very much for your attention." I said right after.
We walked as quickly as we could away from the site without trying to make it too obvious we were in a hurry. Once we were a good distance away, we slowed our pace.
"That was embarrassing." Brittany chuckled.
I took her hand, "At least it's over."
"Yes… but."
"What's the matter?"
"Tomorrow we might have to do the other one, Lesser Mock Bottom."
I had completely forgotten about that, "Shoot." I laughed a little.
"Looks like it'll be another day tomorrow." She teased.
"Oh dear." I replied sarcastically.
Author's Note: So this didn't turn out to be a one shot after all! Hahaha! XD
