[ Her legs reach up to his chest or so, there's no way he'll ever be able to run next to her if she started running.

He can dream though.

She starts to walk, making sure to keep a pace that forces him to run, but not so fast that he'll die after five seconds.

After a little bit of that, she speaks up again. ]

You doing gookay?

[firstloser]

I-I'm fine!

[He's actually starting to tire by this point, but he's going to push forward anyway. Not because he wants to look cool this time, but because he really does want to know his own limits. It's all about the self-improvement thing! And that iscool, right?

He waves his free hand.]

You can even go ahead and- hff- ask that question now! I'm all ears!

[goolatinous]

[ It is. She thinks he's doing really well, especially compared to last time. ]

Oh. Shore. So, um...

[ She blushes, but does he notice? ]

[firstloser]

What's on your mind, my slippery sweetheart?

[Come on, he can't keep this up for much longer...!]

[goolatinous]

Um,,, you know that friendship thing...? Do you want to goo it with me? I get it if you don't, it's gookay.

[firstloser]

...We're already friends, aren't we?

[goolatinous]

I, um, was hoping we are.

[firstloser]

Then it goes without saying that we'd do friendship things!

[goolatinous]

[ Hearing him say that makes her heart skip a beat with happiness. She's not had a lot of friends, really, especially not her age, and most definitely not human. ]

When would you... want to do it?

[firstloser]

[It's not like he had a lot of experience in the friendship department before coming here, either. ESPECIALLY not with girls, like, ever.]

It just starts and doesn't stop, doesn't it?

[goolatinous]

I mean the, um, notice thing... from the witch.

[ Or was it too late for that? She's not sure. The main point is that now she knows he too thinks they're friends, and that means a lot. ]

[firstloser]

Oh...?

[Notice... oh! He completely forgot-- it was back in July, but it's been even longer for him on account of canon updates and age shenanigans.]

Oh! Ha, we don't need to do that for her. We can do that any time. I was giving out shirts back then... I can make you one!

[No, nobody else needs to wear his stupid face around, RUN GOOLIOPE]

[goolatinous]

[ I wish Oozabella had the material to do a canon update. ]

Um... But if it's something you were handing out to people... it's not really, um, special, fright...?

[ She feels so embarrassed saying that though. ]

[firstloser]

[Don't say that, you'll get an episode 24 situation!

But hold on here. He slows to a stop, completely bowled over by this revelation.]

Of.. course it is. I made them...

[But he sounds significantly less sure of himself than he did ten seconds ago.]

[goolatinous]

[ Look, she's only in one episode so whatever that means he's still got way more than her. ]

I mean, special as in, um, between us two. And, um, no one else.

[ She blushes furiously as she says that, and her hand gets a little bit more sticky. She doesn't sweat, her equivalent is sort of... getting softer. ]

1/2

[firstloser]

[SHE'S TOTALLY HITTING ON HIM]

[firstloser]

Heh... I see what you mean, now.

[How could he have been so blind? Of course she's madly in love with him. He smooths his bangs down, quickly regaining his confidence.]

Very well... A secretive activity just for us two... Of course I'll go on a date with you.

[goolatinous]

What?

[ Um, what? Where'd that come? ]

No, I mean, friendship things... Like... I've heard friendship bracelets exist, but I don't know anything about that, um...

[firstloser]

[Friendship bracelets? A subtle hint at wedding rings? WHOA, SLOW DOWN THERE, GIRL.]

Hm... All the best beads have gone missing lately, haven't they? [Like everything shiny. Stupid spiders.]

[goolatinous]

It doesn't have to be the best ones or anything, just, you know, something. It doesn't even have to be bracelets, it's just that, I've never really had friends before so, um, I don't know how it works...

[ Come on now, how is she hinting at wedding rings? ]

[firstloser]

It's not so much about what we make... The real treasure is the time we spend together doing it.

[Even his voice is sparkling, somehow.]

What about food?

[All this running has made him SUPER HUNGRY.]

[goolatinous]

Um... I guess that'd be gookay?

[ Whyyyy is he so sparkly all of a sudden? She doesn't get it. ]

[firstloser]

Fantastic!

[Should he have said fangtastic? He's catching on to her speech quirks.]

We can make anything you like.

[goolatinous]

I guess so. Um. Boba and jelly doughnuts? Pizza with monsterella cheese maybe, if you want somefin less sweet.
