Morning
It was now the next morning as the tempers had calmed down, everyone was back on talking terms atleast.
Geleel and Gratuity sat as they listened to Oh talk about the boov's mortal enemy, the gorg.
The former of the two honestly thought the gorg were even weirder looking than the boov, they were like giant demonic starfish.
"Why do they have a nastier attitude than appearance though?" Geleel questioned Oh from his position in the passenger seat.
"We doos not know, everytime we come to a new planet, the gorg hunts us down, and that is why, we keep running away." Oh explained from the middle backseat.
"Woah, why do these gorg hate you guys so much?" Gratuity questioned as she flew Slushious.
"Because they are gorg, we calls gorg, The Takers, because if you has something, they takes it, like if you has a sandwich, or a planet." Oh explained.
"So they're basically intergalactic space bullies with advanced technology, great." Geleel said as Oh nodded.
"Wait...these gorg aren't gonna come to this planet right?" Gratuity questioned him.
"Oh! No, no, no not to worry, the Big Brained Boov will to fix my mistake, but I will still be very punished, we has a rule." Oh began as Gratuity and Geleel turned to face him with softened expressions.
"Nine mistakes and you are out." He explained to them.
"And how many mistakes do you have?" Gratuity questioned the boov.
"62." He admitted as he turned away from them and turned blue.
"Damn!" Geleel shouted as Gratuity swiftly punched him.
"What's wrong with you!" She shouted in a hushed tone.
"What? It was a reflex!" He fired back as she sighed.
They both then turn to Oh as they realize he was still sad.
"Um, when I'm stressed out my mom tells me jokes." Gratuity said.
Geleel smiled at this, Lucy's corny jokes were bad but, he missed them, he missed her.
"Boov do not do telling jokes." Oh said as he returned to his purple color and turned to them again.
"Oh, it's not that hard, I'll teach you, knock knock!" Gratuity exclaimed as Oh looked at her expectantly.
Geleel fought the urge to facepalm, he knew where this joke was heading, it was Gratuity's favorite joke, so he'd heard it over a thousand times.
Gratuity realized Oh wasn't responding.
"You...you would say who's there." She informed him as he stared at her with a dopey smile.
He looked around the car in confusion.
"But, you twos are there." Oh said as he gestured to Geleel and Gratuity.
"Oh..." Geleel trailed off.
"No, just ask me who is there." Gratuity said as Oh nodded.
"O-Okay, who is there?" He questioned.
"Then I would say, the interrupting cow, now you say the interrupting cow who? Let's just do it." Gratuity said with a shake of her hand.
"Knock knock!" She exclaimed.
"Uh, who is there?" Oh questioned.
"The interrupting cow." Gratuity said as she bit her lips in excitement.
'She's enjoying this, well, atleast she's happy.' He thought as he shook his head.
"The interrupting cow wh-" Oh was cutoff by Gratuity as she mooed at him, which caused him to jump back.
"Y-You did not let me finish my response! I was to say the interrupting c-" Oh was once again cutoff as she mooed at him and began cackling to herself.
Geleel had to admit Oh's scared expression did make the joke atleast a bit funny.
"See you did it again...wait! Ohhhh, that is the joke! The cow is to be an interrupting cow, therefore interrupts me." Oh explained to them as if they didn't already know.
"I know, that's what makes the joke funny." Gratuity said with a deadpan.
"Funny is a strong word Tip." Geleel said.
"Oh, why don't you tell us a-" Gratuity is cutoff as Oh mooed at her, Geleel then began laughing despite himself, she was so confused.
"Did you ju-" Geleel then mooed cutting her off as well.
"Let me finis-" Both Oh and Geleel mooed at her this time.
"That's enough!" She shouted as they mooed again.
"Guys! Don't make me get out more tape for the both of you!" She threatened as they continued mooing regardless.
They kept on driving towards Paris as Oh and Geleel laughed hysterically at Gratuity, her own joke abused against her.
Paris
Geleel decided to put on his lavender hoodie now instead of the black one.
Gratuity switched her hoodie as well, instead of the lime green, she now wore an orange hoodie.
They stood on a hill as they used binoculars to scope out boov central command.
Apparently they were using the eiffel tower as a base of operations.
"What's with you guys and bubbles?" Geleel questioned Oh.
"Forgets that! Look at how many boovs, I said this was dumbness!" He shouted as he began pacing.
Geleel and Gratuity turned to him with estranged expressions.
"I said I am doom, but doos you listen? Noooo!" He shouted as he turned red.
"Oh! That's enough!" Gratuity exclaimed.
"It is never too late to run away! That is the boov motto!" He informed them.
"Well we aren't boov, sorry to break it to you Oh, but we're not running, we got this far, and we're gonna make it count, besides we have a plan." Geleel declared as he pulled Gratuity into a half hug.
She blushed slightly but she smiled at this, he was right.
"Is your plan to run away? Because other way wise it is stupid!" Oh shouted.
"All we have to do is sneak into the city, get into the great antenna, use it to find my mom, and then sneak out again." Gratuity explained as Oh looked wary of this.
"Seems simple enough to me." Geleel said with a shrug.
"But it still will not work! Because my face is known, if I am seen by any boov I am one hundred percent popular for being arrested." Oh said as the teens thought it over.
Suddenly a light bulb lit up in Gratuity's head, Geleel could tell by her expression.
"Okay, you guys sit on that log over there, I have an idea!" Gratuity shouted as she went in to the car to search for something.
The two boys then sat on the log as they waited for her to find whatever it was she needed.
"Any ideas whats it is?" Oh questioned Geleel.
"Nope, but knowing Tip, it's probably something..." Geleel trailed off as Gratuity came back out of the car with her full makeup set.
He immediately began having flashbacks, when they were younger Gratuity used him as a means to practice how to apply makeup, very dark times.
"You brung your makeup kit with you!?" He shouted in disbelief.
"Duh! Why wouldn't I, besides it's the only way we'll get to conceal Oh's identity, get it? Conceal, concealer...ah whatever, just trust me." Gratuity said as she set her makeup out.
"This stuff looks scaries." Oh said as he noticed tweezers.
"Trust me, it is." Geleel said with a whisper.
(Only Girl in the World by Rihanna began playing as Gratuity hit Oh's face with a powder pad).
"First, let's start with a little beauty mark." Gratuity said as she inched towards Oh with a makeup pencil.
The boov cowered back in fear, what Geleel said earlier was resonating with him.
"Seriously? You're worried about one beauty mark? Hey, atleast you didn't get attacked with eyeshadow at the age of 10, now move." Geleel said as he pushed Oh forward into the pencil.
Gratuity placed the beauty mark right on his cheek.
His emotions then did a complete 180.
"Hey! Letting me see! Letting me see!" He shouted as he fought her for her mirror.
"Hey! Woah! Not yet! Give me that mirror!" Gratuity shouted as Oh was able to successfully get the mirror from her.
He gasped in awe as he noticed the singular mark in the mirror.
The boov then turned pink in excitement and love.
"It is like looking at a completed stranger!" He shouted as he showed Geleel the mark.
"What's with the sudden change of heart?" Geleel questioned with a chuckle.
"Oh, I'm not don-" Gratuity is cutoff as Oh began running around.
"You are a worker of miraculous transformations! Who is this boov? I do not know!" Oh shouted as he screamed again and began running around excitedly.
Gratuity sat down next to Geleel again as the latter chuckled.
"This is all off of one mark, now imagine it was a full face of makeup." Geleel stated as his laughter continued.
Suddenly Oh began backing up right towards Geleel as he failed to notice.
"Wait Oh-" Gratuity's warning was too late as Oh fell back into Geleel causing both boys to fall and land in a heap.
"Ow pain." Oh said as Geleel simply sighed.
Gratuity laughed as she snapped a picture of them.
"Okay guys, let's go." She said as she walked back to Slushious chuckling the entire time.
A bit later, they had got Slushious into the city and parked her in a...apartment.
They stood on the bottom floor of the apartment as they opted to leave Pig inside, he was sleeping.
Oh peeked out as he noticed a bubble elevator in the middle of the street, a couple of boovs were crossing.
He then ran out as he got on the metal pad.
One more boov ran by as Oh made sure to point at his beauty mark, luckily these guys were dense because he did not recognize Oh as the fugitive boov.
Geleel and Gratuity waited until the coast was fully clear before running out and getting on the pad themselves.
"Express elevator, departing." An automated voice said as a bubble enveloped the pad and flew them up towards boov central command.
As they got inside of the giant bubble Geleel and Gratuity gasped in awe.
"Woah, this is creepy but somehow interesting at the same time." The dreadhead said as they looked around.
"These are the smartest boovs you have?" Gratuity questioned with a chuckle as she noticed boovs with enlarged heads in separate bubbles with tubes attached to their heads as their skulls were flexed.
"Shhh, you guys must be very quiet...you do not want to break their con-ahhh!" Oh exclaimed completely going back on his former claim.
He then began chattering as he looked up at a timer that said there was only two minutes left on it.
"Well that was hypocritical." Geleel said with a deadpan.
"What is it, Oh?" Gratuity questioned the boov.
"I thought the big brained boov would've stopped my invitation by now, but they have still not figures out my password, how is this possible?" Oh questioned in disbelief.
"Wait so, this means those horrible Gorg thingies will come to Earth?" Gratuity questioned.
"To Smekland yes." Oh answered.
"And what happens then?" She questioned again.
"Then...then there will no finding of mimom." Oh said as the two teens gasped in terror.
"Then you've gotta stop that invite! Come on!" Geleel said as he turned Oh around and began rushing him towards a free bubble, Gratuity in tow.
Oh noticed one before them as he hopped in swiftly and began setting the tubes up.
"Hurry!" He shouted quietly as they hopped in.
"By to the ways, are your skulls flexible?" Oh questioned as Geleel arched a brow at him.
"What?" Gratuity asked in confusion.
"You know nevermind, it'll be probably okay." Oh said as two tubes attached to his head.
His body then became psychedelic as he kept making funny faces.
Gratuity and Geleel snickered at this, only to stop when tubes attached to their heads as well.
As their skulls were flexed they eventually found themselves in a hub of information.
"Wow." Was all Gratuity could muster.
"Is this the metaverse?" Geleel questioned.
"No, common mistake, the metaverse is significantly smaller." Oh said as he opened up his invite, only to scream when he realized there was only thirty seconds left on the clock.
"30 seconds to doom! I shall input my password, it is, "My name is Oh and Captain Smek is a great leader and anyone who does not think that is a poomp 1." Oh said all together.
"Wow, wonder how no one guessed that?" Gratuity questioned sarcastically, Oh did not seem to pick it up though.
"I doos not know." He said with a shrug as he hit enter on the password.
They all gasped in horror as the computer said he was wrong.
Oh turned yellow in fear as Geleel and Gratuity wore weary expressions.
"Don't tell me you forgot your password now of all times bruh." Geleel said with a deadpan.
"Impossible! That is password! That is- oh no, caps lock." Oh said as be switched it off.
"Are you serious? The fate of the planet is on the line here!" Geleel shouted as Oh began typing the password again this time with even more speed.
"Come on, come on." Gratuity repeated as both teens bounced around anxiously as Oh frantically finished up.
It was just in the knick of time too, there was only one second left.
The computer then showed that the invite was canceled as Oh screamed out in joy.
"Yes!" Geleel and Gratuity yelled simultaneously as they began celebrating.
All of the information rained down on them like snow.
"Fa-da! It has worked, it has worked!" He shouted triumphantly.
Oh plopped down as he breathed heavily, all of the stress was expelling from his body.
"You did it Oh!" Gratuity congratulated him.
"Yea! You the boov!" Geleel shouted with a chuckle as Oh smiled happily and began making angels in the information.
"That was closeness." Oh said in disbelief.
"Okay, on your feet, we still have to find my mom." Gratuity reminded him as she helped him up.
Oh then went over to the computer as the teens stood behind him again.
"Oh, that is simplicity, we shall now searching onnn?" Oh questioned Gratuity.
"Lucy! Lucy Tucci!" She said eagerly.
"Lucy Tucci." Oh repeated as he typed that in.
The computer then took them all the way to a camera feed of Australia.
"Australia? Woah." Geleel said as the camera zoomed all the way in to a stand.
"Observe Mimom." Oh said as the camera focused on a middle aged man with a tanktop on and sunglasses.
Geleel frowned at Oh as Gratuity looked almost hurt.
"That's not funny." She said as she turned to Oh.
What she failed to realize was as the man moved...Lucy was right there behind him.
Geleel's frown turned to a look of shock as his mouth was left agape.
"This is not your mimom?" Oh questioned.
"Are you kidding? That's not her!" Gratuity shouted.
"Tip..." Geleel trailed off as he pointed to the screen.
Gratuity turned to the screen and gasped so loudly when she laid eyes on her mother, she was alive, she was okay.
"I know, I know, okay? You've been saying that for two weeks, please, one of them has big green eyes and beautiful brown skin, the other has deep brown eyes and the brightest smile you could ever imagine." Lucy said to the boov she was berating.
"Mom..." Gratuity said quietly.
Geleel smiled, he lost both of his parents young, so he didn't want Gratuity to feel how he felt by losing the only parent she had left, the smile on her face made him so happy.
"So tell me where they are! Or find me a boov who can, please." Lucy pleaded.
Gratuity then took the tubes out as she disappeared.
Geleel noticing this did the same as well.
"Aww, Gratuity Tucci looks just like tiny mimom." Oh said as he failed to realize they had gone.
When he did realize however he unplugged his tubes as well and appeared back in the real world.
"Gratuity Tucci? Geleel Barlett? Why for y-" Oh was cutoff as Gratuity hugged him swiftly, catching him by surprise.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Gratuity yelled out repeat as Oh eventually returned the hug.
"You did good, Oh, you did good." Geleel said as he crossed his arms and flashed Oh a smile which the boov returned.
Gratuity then stood up as they all began dancing and celebrating.
"I can't believe it, my mom's in Australia!" She shouted as they began running for the exit.
"The big down under!" Geleel yelled in his best Australian accent.
"I've been wanting to do that for a while now." He admitted as they chuckled.
"And I has canceled my evite." Oh said as they got onto the bubble elevator.
It began descending down. "I can finally come out of the hiding." Oh finished as they smiled at him.
"Yes!" Gratuity exclaimed as the elevator stopped on the eiffel tower platform.
They leaped off of the metal pad only to be left wide eyed as numerous police boovs aimed bubble guns at them.
"Uh oh." Was all Oh could say.
The three stayed back connected to back as they warily scanned the police boov.
"Well, well, well." They heard a voice say as they turned to it.
Judging from his looks, Geleel realized this to be captain Smek, Oh had described him before.
The captain had a wheelbarrow on his head which fell over causing him to scream.
He then took it off as he handed it to a boov in the crowd.
"Hold my crown, and be very careful, it's the only one." He reminded the boov.
"Seriously? This is the great and powerful leader you were praising?" Geleel questioned Oh who only gulped and nodded his head.
Smek cleared his throat as he approached the trio.
"Well, well, well, did you really think you could escape?" Smek questioned Oh.
"Escape? No, no, no, you see I was just coming to tell you-" Oh was cutoff as Captain Smek shushed him.
"Despite your elaborate disguise..." Smek trailed off as he got close to Oh.
"The computer recognized you as...the fugitive boov." Smek said as he swiped the beauty mark off of Oh's face.
The boov around them all let out sounds of shock and outrage.
Even Kyle who was amongst them was puzzled.
"But, he's a hero boov now." Gratuity said in defense of Oh.
"Yea, he saved the entire planet just now, you should be thanking him not pointing your bubble guns at him." Geleel said as Gratuity and Oh nodded.
"Yes, I has fixed my mistake." Oh added as Smek began walking around him.
"Yes but before that, you has made your mistake." He began.
"But I-" Oh is cutoff.
"And many mistakes before that, many, many, many, many, many mistakes before that." Smek repeated maniacally.
"Wait, I-" Oh is once more cutoff.
"Manyyyy mistakes before that, so, I still has to erase you!" Smek declared.
"But why?" Oh pleaded as Geleel and Gratuity looked at eachother warily.
"Because you cannot to guarantee that you make another mistake again." Smek fired back.
"But I would not!" Oh persisted.
"But you might." Smek responded as they got into another battle of words.
Geleel smacks his forehead, this was starting to get even more mind numbing than it already was.
"Okay enough, shush!" Smek began as he struck Oh in the head with the shusher.
"Erase him!" Smek shouted as he turned a deep red.
The police boov then angrily advanced the trio with their bubble guns aimed to destroy Oh who wore a wary expression.
"Hey!" Geleel shouted as all of their attention was turned to him and Gratuity who stood next to the control beacon for the tower.
If they tinkered with it that would certainly cause many problems for the boov.
"Drop the bubble guns!" Gratuity demanded as the other boov wore wary expressions now.
"Or I will mess with this... gravity thingy." She threatened as she gestured to the beacon.
"She's bluffing...she could not possibly reach the gravity thingy." Smek declared only to bite back his own words as Gratuity tip toed to be tall enough to touch the beacon.
"What's the matter Smekky? Never heard of tippy toes?" Geleel questioned the boov leader as his mouth hung agape.
"Curse you and your tippy toe tallness! But no problem, boov technology is far too complicated for simple humansgirl to figure out." Smek said with an evil smirk.
"Uh oh, looks like he's calling you out Tip." Geleel said with a kiss of his teeth as Gratuity scoffed at Smek.
"Excuse you?" She questioned as the boovs minus Oh began laughing.
Oh was too busy looking wary and holding onto a beam for support.
"This humansgirl got an A in Geometry." Gratuity gloated as she gripped the beacon.
Geleel noticed Oh's wary expression as it puzzled him.
"Tip...wai-" Before he could say anything Gratuity had already flipped the beacon upside down.
Smek gasped at this. "She figured it out! Run for my life!" He declared as everyone began running and panicking.
Geleel and Gratuity didn't realize what was happening until they realized the boov headquarters was literally beginning to flip slowly.
"Woah!" They both exclaimed as they fell back.
They grab onto to the same beam Oh was holding onto.
Most other boovs unfortunately fell to the cold water below.
"We did not think this through!" Geleel shouted as he held onto the beam.
The two teens then notice Oh losing his grip on the beam as he ultimately began falling with a shriek of terror.
They both swiftly reach out and grab his hands, the boov breathed heavily in fear.
"Oh no! We can't hold you! You weigh like a thousand pounds!" Gratuity shouted as she could feel her grip loosening.
"We are having serious problems!" Oh shouted.
"You're also having serious problems with your weight dude!" Geleel shouted.
Oh then looked back as he noticed Kyle flying towards them in a bubble ship.
"Let go." He said to his friends.
"What?" They shouted simultaneously.
"Trust me." Oh persisted as they ultimately relented and let go of the beam, their bodies plummeted.
Fortunately they simply fall through the bubble ship Kyle was in as he is knocked out and they took it over.
"What are you waiting for?" Gratuity shouted at Oh who had still not driven off yet.
"I cannot touch! It will not work if I drive it." Oh explained.
Geleel then took note of the police boov bubble cars flying directly towards them.
"Uh...guys." He said as Gratuity gasped in realization.
"Fine! I'll drive!" She shouted as she grabbed the red steering ball.
With a yelp and a jerky start she found herself ascending up through the tower.
"Owpain!" Oh shouted as they collided with the beams.
Gratuity then flies straight through a whole in the beams as the bubble car popped, the police boov cars popped as well.
"You are terrible driver!" Oh shouted at her as they flew through the air.
Fortunately they land on the gold plate that was left behind of the bubble ship.
"I told you." Geleel said to Gratuity as they slid down the tower.
"Shut it." Was her cryptic response.
They then turned to notice they were nearing the tip of the tower as they all hugged eachother and cried out.
As they went off the ramp they all landed on the tower's metal point as they held on for dear life.
"This is way too much altitude! Who's idea was this?" Geleel shouted.
"Woah!" Gratuity exclaimed, the tower was still turning over as it had not completed done so yet.
They were literally at the tip of the tower too this high up.
As they swung downwards through the city Geleel noticed a boov about to eat a painting of the stars as he swiftly grabbed it.
"Not on my watch." He said as he clutched the painting to his side.
The three then shared a small laugh as they continued to swing through the city.
The laughter turned to fear again when they realized a cluster of artifacts floating in their path.
"Woah!" They all exclaimed at once as they crashed through the artifacts.
This caused them to let go of the tip and fly through the sky.
Fortunately they caught an umbrella that was floating.
"Guys look!" Geleel shouted as he directed their attention to a golden horse statue on a roof.
They dropped down onto it, unfortunately the horse wouldn't move.
"Seriously?" Geleel shouted as they tried to get the horse to move.
"Come on! You stupid horse!" Gratuity shouted as they finally got the horse to begin moving.
Unfortunately the tower was swinging back around as the sharp tip was coming right at them.
It crashed through the building they were on as they leaped off the horse and began running.
"Jump!" Geleel shouted as he noticed a gap in the buildings.
They all yelled out and leaped over to the next building, unfortunately there was nowhere else to run now due to the wall.
They all turned to notice the tip coming right at them as they tried their hardest to back up with the wall their.
Geleel hugged Gratuity close to him as they all breathed heavily.
Fortunately the tip only reaches her hair as it strums one of her curls and swings back the other way.
They all let go of a breath they didn't know they were holding.
"That was insane." Geleel said as he put his hand up.
"Tell me about it." Gratuity said as they highfived.
"Look! I has found our car!" Oh declared as they looked down to see that coincidentally they had landed on the roof of the house they parked the car in.
"Pig!" Gratuity shouted.
"You've just been sittin here chillin haven't you?" Geleel questioned the cat as he shook his head with a chuckle.
"Let's get out of here guys." Geleel said as everyone was on board with that idea.
They then flew Slushious back to where they were previously as they parked her there and watched the sun begin setting.
Geleel and Gratuity both sat in the front seats as Oh was in the backseat examining the painting Geleel stole from the other boov.
"You like it?" Geleel questioned him.
"No, I do not know why for you brought this, we already has food in the car." Oh pointed out as Geleel arched a brow at him.
"It's not food, it's art." Gratuity explained.
"Ohh...then it is bad." Oh said as he exited the car to check on Slushious.
Geleel and Gratuity follow as the former scoffed at Oh.
"I'd like to see you do better." Geleel challened the boov.
"I most certainly can! Stars do not look like that." Oh shot back.
"It's not about how they look, it's about how they...feel." Gratuity tried to explain.
"They feel hot." Oh shot back as the teens just opted to laugh him off.
"Okay genius, how much time do we have till we get to Australia?" Geleel questioned him.
"17.9348 hours, and Gratuity Tucci and Geleel Barlett will see mimom." Oh stated as the two teens cheered and began jumping up and down in excitement.
"This is awesome!" Geleel shouted as Gratuity picked Pig up from the car.
"You hear that Pig? I can't wait to tell mom we went to Paris, which you know she always wanted to do, hey Geleel maybe we should all come back one day, we do have a flying car now." Gratuity suggested as Geleel smiled at the thought.
"How do you say cat in French? I think it's Chat!" Gratuity exclaimed as she giddily danced away with Pig who purred in her arms.
Geleel smiled at this, he'd missing seeing Gratuity this happy, it had been a while since he seen a genuine smile on her face.
As he took a second to look away from her dancing he focused on Oh who was standing off to the side, his skin had taken a very glum blue color.
"Hey Oh, why so blue?" Geleel questioned as he now stood next to the boov who sighed.
"I...has confusion, I do not wish to be erased, but maybe Captain Smek is right, it is impossible that I will continue making hilarious mistakes." Oh began.
"I mean, you are pretty clumsy." Geleel pointed out.
"That is not helpings." Oh complained.
"Look, all I'm saying Oh...is that nobody is perfect, no matter how much they try and portray it...we all make mistakes from time to time, all that matters is that we learn from them and grow from them as well." Geleel explained as Oh was taken back, this was not what he was thought.
"That is not what Captain Smek says." Oh stated as Geleel sighed.
"Oh do you want the honest truth about Captain Smek?" Geleel questioned as Oh looked up at him.
"Quite frankly, he's a dumbass, he's nowhere near perfect himself, in fact he's the furthest thing from perfect, you need to wake up and leave that stuff in the past...look towards the future...I know it's hard to overcome the fear of commitment...more than anyone actually..." Geleel trailed off as he watched Gratuity dance with a solemn expression...Oh even took note of it.
"But you have to try or you'll never be truly happy in this life." Geleel finished as he walked over to the car.
His words spoke to Oh...more than he knew it.
The boov then gained an idea as he ran to the log where he did his makeuo earlier.
"They won't sees this coming." Oh said as he began working on his plan.
Later
Geleel and Gratuity had not understood why Oh had them stay in Paris for an extra half hour...what's more they also didn't understand why they were blindfolded.
"Oh, where are you taking us?" Gratuity questioned.
"You'll see, stops the whining!" Oh shouted.
"You'll see who's whining real soon if you don-" Geleel is cutoff as Oh ripped their blindfolds off.
"Fada!" He exclaimed as all they could do was wow at the scene.
On the log before them was a candle lit...dinner? If you call screws and twigs dinner that is, but it for some reason looked good.
"Oh...what is this?" Geleel questioned him.
"It is your dates!" Oh shouted as both teens immediately began getting bashful.
"Oh!" Gratuity shouted.
"Come, have the seatings!" Oh shouted as he ushered them to the log and had them sit down face to face.
"Callings me or Pig cat if you need assistance!" The boov shouted before running off.
"I'm gonna hurt that boov..." Gratuity said through gritted teeth.
"Not before I get to him first." Geleel said as they then looked at eachother.
"So..." Gratuity said awkwardly as they struggled to find words for eachother...which was weird, they were bestfriends...
Oh then runs up to Geleel swiftly.
"Tells her how you feels." He whispered into Geleel's ear as the boy's eyes widened, the boov then walked away again.
He looked at Gratuity who was still not looking him in the eyes.
So this was Oh's plan...well no sense wasting this chance, Geleel knew he had to face her and tell her how he felt.
"Tip..." He began as she looked at him finally.
"I don't know how to tell you this...you've always been there for me...ever since we were kids...you never left me alone, you always made me feel like there was a reason to be alive...and words really can't explain how I feel...so...I'm gonna keep this short..." Geleel trails off as he looked Gratuity directly in the eyes, the girl's face began heating up.
He then slowly moved forward, all control of his body was no longer his, but his heart had a say in the motion.
Geleel then did something he'd never expected to have the confidence to do...he planted his lips onto Gratuity's as he kissed her deeply.
He separated after about five seconds before looking her in the eyes again.
"Gratuity Tucci, I love you." Geleel finally admitted as Gratuity was at a lost for words.
The girl had gone quiet for a good ten seconds as Geleel began panicking, did she not return the feelings? Did he just mess up his only friendship?
"Tip, I'm sorry I-" Geleel is cutoff as Gratuity lunges forward and returns a kiss off her own as they both embraced eachother to deepen the kiss.
(As they kiss, Give you what you want by lil tjay begins playing, from 0:00 to 0:42, after the kiss only the instrumental of the song plays softly in the background)
After the deep passionate kiss they both separated as they stared longingly into eachother's eyes.
"Cap...I love you too, you have no idea how long I've been wanting to say that, ever since that day in third grade when you said we'd get married one day I knew that you'd be the one I wanted by my side forever, you saved me from loneliness, and I'll never forget that." Gratuity admitted as she embraced him once more.
They stayed like that for a bit, it was nice, they had finally gotten their feelings out...no more hiding it, they just wanted to be in eachother's embrace for a bit.
That all came to an end when Oh ran out with a scream of excitement.
"Yes! They have completed the first steps of humans persons courtships!" He exclaimed as they look at him awkwardly.
"You were watching the whole time?" Geleel shouted as Oh stopped celebrating.
"Maybes..." Oh said with a nervous chuckle.
"Oh." Gratuity said in a feigned disappointment as a joke.
"What? I am just the excited! Geleel Barlett and Gratuity Tucci helped me with my feelings! So it is only fairs that I helped yous with yours." Oh informed them as they smiled at him.
"Thanks Oh...you can call me Cap now." Geleel said as he tossed the keys to Slushious to Oh who smiled at him, the boov then turned to Gratuity.
"Call me Tip." She said with a chuckle.
They all shared a laugh as they took a second to enjoy the moment, soon they'd be departing for Australia to find Lucy.
Later
As Oh flew Slushious Geleel and Gratuity had been telling him about their experience as children and immigrants in New York.
"I mean, it was a whole new country, it was cold, nothing like Jamaica and the people talked and acted differently." Geleel began.
"In Barbados it was easy to make friends, but that was all I was in New York at first...just some loser from Barbados, I tried to make friends at school but..." Gratuity trailed off.
"That's hard to do when everyone picks on you about where you're from." She continued.
"Or about how you talk." Both Geleel and Gratuity said the same time.
"Hey, I was gonna say that." They said simultaneously once more.
All three of them looked at eachother before they burst out laughing.
(Cannonball by Kiesza begins playing as Oh continued driving Slushious).
As they continued flying they did many things to pass time.
They even took selfies which involved numerous goofy faces ofcourse.
Geleel and Gratuity even told Oh about all the nice stuff Lucy does for them out of love which increases the boov's reasoning for wanting to meet her even more.
After a point Geleel and Gratuity had grew tired and fell asleep, cuddled up together under a blanket.
Oh looked back at them with a smile, they had finally began trusting him, which he earned, and they finally admitted their feelings for eachother.
They were about to go save Lucy too, nothing could ruin or change Oh's mood right now as the boov looked at his friend's again.
He notices the blanket had fell off of them as he reached back and put it back on for them.
Oh then pets Pig who was sleeping in the passenger seat before giving Geleel and Gratuity one last loving look, his skin even turned pink.
This was somehow the best day of his life, even after all that had happened.
