At lunch time Oh rushed downstairs in such a hurry that he almost fell down them. He had been thinking about the possibilities all morning ever since Tip had left his room that morning. As it was he tripped on the last step sending a ripple of purple briefly thru his still bright orange body. Laughing giddily he got back up on his pods and ran to his spot at the table (it was a bit lower than the rest of the table, but it still let them eat together as a family). Hopping onto his seat, he found a plate of small orange things. He help one up, looking at it closely before extending a nose curl to smell it. He looked over at Tip who was standing nearby smiling at him, "Tip, what are these? You has never made them for me before." "They are called 'chicken nuggets', and I never gave you them before because I didn't know if they were safe for you. But if Boov are eating chicken it must be OK. It has a little breading on the chicken, is it still OK to eat it?" Oh nodded "Yes, Humansfoods are OK if we are keeping them in small quantities." With that he picked one of them up again, closed his eyes and nervously put it in his mouth, after all he still wasn't completely sure he trusted the rumors of what chicken tasted like.
Oh's eyes shot wide open is the nuggets flavor hit his tongue. Once again a vivid orange he jumped from his seat jumping and running around the room. Tip, had never seen him smile so big, she couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the exuberant Oh jumping and twirling around while squealing with delight. "So, were the rumors true about the taste Oh" Tip asked. He stopped dancing around and looked up at her still orange and smiling, "Yes!Yes! It tastes just like the Koobish! I hads not thought I would ever taste this again!" Running back to his seat he poured the rest of them into his mouth and ate them before giving Tip a tacklehug, sending both to the floor laughing.
Suddenly his eyes were wide with alarm, and he bolted outside where is private bathroom was. Tip watched him with worry, hoping his surprise lunch hadn't hurt him. She looked at him apologetically as he came back inside. "Are you OK Oh? You ran out to your restroom in such a panicked hurry." Seeing the worry in her face he gave her a comforting smile, "I am Oks, I was just so excited my body decided to dos a 'number three' without first asking my permission. I ran so as not to get you hurt." Tip sighed with relief, "That's good, I was worried that you lunch might have hurt you. But now you won't have to worry about 'number three' for a whole year!" "Yes, that is correct. I just am wishing it did not leave us Boov so exhausted after doing it." They both laughed, but Oh looked very tired. "I thinks I will be going to my room for a nap, thanking you again Tip for the wonderful lunch! It sure has made my day!" Tip watched as Oh climbed the stairs tiredly, but she noticed he was still bright orange and smiling.
