Jessa took her time washing off as she rinsed the shampoo out of her hair. Boober had given her a strong enough soap to rid her of the yucky dog smell. On top of that, Mokey had picked out a dress for Jessa to wear once she dried off. Feeling the water run down her skin, she relaxed and went underwater for the umpteenth time to rinse her body off. After ensuring the soap suds were gone, Jessa stepped out and began toweling off. Her long black hair needed to be wrapped up for a few minutes before she could dry the rest of her body off, though Jessa had no interest in cutting it. She liked how it looked on her, and having long hair made her feel feminine. Jessa had only worn a dress once, but it wasn't one she desired. After letting her hair loose and wrapping the towel around her body, Jessa glanced at the dress. It was white and floor-length with short lace sleeves. She wasn't too sure about the lace but didn't mind everything else. As soon as she was all dry, Jessa slipped on the dress, looking at her reflection immediately afterward. While this dress would suit Mokey perfectly, it didn't compliment Jessa's skin tone very well.

"Nope," she said to herself before grabbing her sword and transforming it into scissors.

She got to work on the dress, altering the top part first. Jessa cut the lace off and separated the top half from the bottom half, making it into a sexy one-shoulder halter top. Once that was done, Jessa took all the strips from the top and sewed them onto the skirt. The strips overlapped each other in the front and back. Jessa smiled down at the now-piece outfit, happy with her work. She then turned her sword/scissors into an ink dropper to change the color of the fabric. First a raspberry pink for the halter top and the pieces of fabric hanging off her skirt. Then a dark charcoal gray for the skirt itself. Jessa then added a finishing touch to the skirt by adding a gold waistband on the top of the skirt. Looking into her reflection once again, she grinned in satisfaction as the halter top accentuated her build, as well as the gold waistband hugging her hips, made her look and feel like a goddess. She then cleaned up her mess and went to find Boober so she could return the soap he lent to her.

Jessa passed by the other Fraggles, who were in Gobo and Wembley's room as Gobo filled them all in on what happened today.

"...and then she got away from the Fearsome Beast! Using a leverage device and before Boober and I knew it, Jessa was on top of the Silly Creature's thing."

"No way!" Red said to him.

"Oh, I'm not kidding Red. Boober will back me up on this."

"No Fraggle has ever done that," Mokey added. "Jessa must have a lot of experience in the Terrible Tunnel."

"Yeah, I got to agree with you there, Mokey," Wembley said to her.

Boober wasn't in the room, but Jessa walked in on the group as they greeted her. Mokey stood up and walked closer to her upon seeing her clothes.

"That isn't the dress I gave you."

"Actually, it is," Jessa replied. "I just made a few changes."

Luckily, the dress hadn't belonged to Mokey beforehand. Although Jessa had always been on the tall side, Mokey still had her beat by 2 inches. Also, she had a more athletic build with toned muscles compared to Mokey's lankier build. So had Jessa left the dress alone, it would be unflattering. Now with it the way it is, the halter top and long skirt fit her perfectly.

"Boober's washing your other clothes," Wembley told her.

"Speaking of Boober, I need to give him his soap back."

"Come on, he's in the other hole," Mokey said as she and Jessa left.

Boober had a clothespin on his nose while scrubbing the odor from Jessa's shirt. The laundry detergent he used got rid of the dog stench, but now it stunk up the whole room. Who would have known that the Fearsome Beast had such disgusting breath? Boober gagged a little while leaning forward to scrub harder.

"I hope she never gets to anything this smelly ever again," he griped to himself as Mokey and Jessa arrived.

"Hey Boober," Mokey greeted him. "Jessa's here to return the soap and shampoo you gave her."

"Good, just put it on the-"

Boober cut himself off once he looked up at Jessa, all clad in her new clothes and her hair parted to the side. He felt his face heat up and his tail wag furiously. It also didn't help that her hair hung below her hips. She looked very sexy in that outfit and Boober wanted to compliment her, but the words got caught in his throat and he couldn't speak.

"Thanks for letting me use that stuff, by the way," Jessa said to him. "It helped."

"No problem," Boober managed to say, though he was still flustered by Jessa in her long skirt and halter top.

Mokey took notice of Boober's reaction while Jessa set the things down. Upon smelling what was left of the dog's breath, she recoiled.

"You guys mind if I vacate out of here for a little bit?"

"We don't mind, Jessa," Mokey replied before she walked out.

As soon as she was out of earshot, Boober let out a frustrated groan and banged his head against the wall.

"What's wrong, Boober?" Mokey asked him in concern.

"Mokey, have you ever been around someone that made you feel a certain way?"

Mokey thought on it for a minute but ended up drawing a blank.

"No, not particularly."

"Well, I don't know what it is about Jessa, but she… makes me feel things I never thought I was capable of feeling."

"Oh?"

"Whenever she's around, I start to feel all warm inside, my heart starts beating really fast, my tail wags like crazy and my face gets hot. It only happens when she's around."

Mokey gasped at his description, her eyelids raising.

"What if she gave me some disease I haven't read about yet?"

"Boober!" She said happily. "That's not a disease. You're in love!"

Boober stuttered in response.

"You love Jessa!"

Before Mokey could make it any more obvious, Boober shushed her.

"Just don't say anything, Mokey. I don't want the others to laugh at me."

"Don't worry, Boober," Mokey reassured him. "Your secret is safe with me."

Knowing her kind and trusting nature, Boober sighed in relief.

"So what is it about Jessa that you like so much?"

"Other than the fact that she's got the most beautiful long black hair that goes all the way down to her hips, deep dark eyes that anyone can get lost in, and a lovely sounding voice, I love how brave she is. She wasn't afraid of that Fearsome Beast in outer space. Gobo was about to be killed when she ran out there and distracted it."

"Gobo was just telling us that."

"And she came back alive too."

Boober blushed at the memory of Jessa using the tape measure to get away from Sprocket.

"She's also very resourceful," he went on. "She used a leverage thingy to get away from the beast when it was about to eat her too."

Mokey smiled at Boober as he thought of Jessa.

"How romantic, Boober," she gushed.

"Remember, not a word of this to the other Fraggles," Boober replied in a serious tone.

"I won't tell anyone. I promise."

"Good."

Mokey then left to go join her other friends while Boober stayed behind, sighing to himself and thinking about his crush. He couldn't get the image of Jessa in her halter top and skirt out of his head. He then went back to washing her clothes, grinning to himself and blushing, forgetting about the dog smell completely.
