Gretchen sniffed her armpit, she was coated in sweat from her dream as she climbed the ladder of her bunk as Esmeth got up rubbing her eyes
"Gretchen it's 3 in the morning?" Esmeth said confused
"Sorry Emily, just can't sleep" Gretchen said as Esmeth sniffed the air
"You need a shower" Esmeth said as Gretchen looked at her
"I was just about to take one" Gretchen stated
"How about I join you" Esmeth stated as Gretchen looked at her
"What?" the gator said blushing as Esmeth grabbed a towel
"I forgot to shower, i might as well do it with you, no need in wasting time and water" Esmeth said as Gretchen's thought changed course
"Okay" Gretchen said secretly happy at the thought of showing with Emily who she had a secret crush on. The two girls left the cabin heading to the shower room as Esmeth statred undoing her pajama top wearing a dark colored bra as Gretchen took a shower down a few stalls uncomfortable of showering next to her as She did the smae undressing as she tried her hardest to avoid eye contact with Esmeth
"What's eating you?" Esmeth asked turning to Gretchen as she covered herself
"Emily!" Gretchen said red faced with embarassment
"Gretchen what's the matter" Esmeth asked approching Gretchen as she was uneasy
"I Don't want to talk about it" Gretchen said coverher lower half with a towel
"You'll feel better, I promise" Esmeth stated
"The Movie i mentioned, I don't want to see it" Gretchen admiited rubbing her shoulder as the towel fell as she blushed bending over to pick it up as Esmeth giggled
"I Meant in general, everytime we're alone you act like this, since we first met" Esmeth said recalling the event
"Oh That, It's personal" Gretchen replied
"Gretchen, your my best friend, if anything is troubling you I want to help" Esmeth stated
"Your best friend" Gretchen repeated in disbelif
"Yeah, Gretchen, I really like; i feel like we just connect the best" Esmeth stated
That means a lot to me" Gretchen said as Esmeth looked at her placing a wet kiss on her snout as she turned red
"See you in the morning" Esmeth said putting her night clothes on as Gretchen rubbed her snout
"She kissed me" Gretchen said in disbelif, yet not complianing as she walked esmeth walk away as The gator couldn't help but smile as she finished up putting her gown on as she headed back to the cabin hopping in bed undeteted as she dozed off.
The next Morning Gretchen woke up as Patsy and nine were getting dressed
"Oh You're up Nina said putting her glasses on as the two were getting ready as she looked down seeing Esmeth still sleeping
"See you at breakfast" Patsy said as the two left leaving the two girls
"Mimi, said she knows a guy i might have Primal Fear" Nina said
"Really?" Patsy said confused
"Yeah, it's a hard film to come by" Nina claimed as the two left as Gretchen looked at Esmeth as she laid back down.
"You watching me sleep" Esmeth said popping over the edge
"Emily, I thought you were asleep" gretchen said shocked at the panther girl
"You feel for a classic alien trick, I still got it" Esmeth said playing Gretchen for fool.
