Previously… the four friends confessed feelings of love… now, two very special characters are about to unfold the truth… that evening… (Dun dun dun…) I AM FIRING MY DIOLOUGE WRITER!
As Tessa and Mac were blissfully socializing, Tessa heard someone call her name.
"I'll see you later, Mac," she said. Mac gave a confused expression.
"Um, okay, later!" he called after her. Tessa wasn't five steps away when she realized that none other than Madame Foster was calling her name.
"Hello, Tessa," she chirped sweetly, "I have something very special to tell you."
"Okay?" Tessa replied wondering, what the crud monkey is this all about?
"I want to tell you at dinner tonight, make sure that Mac can come too, it's important for the both of you, really."
"…Uh-huh…" Tessa said uncertainly, "I will, thanks Madame F."
"Well, what the heck was that all about?" Bloo asked as Tessa returned.
"She says she wants Mac and I to hear something at dinner today, other than that I'm totally clueless," Tessa said scratching her head.
Later that evening…
"Excuse me! May I have your attention, please?" Madame Foster called out. Everyone stopped talking and looked at her. (Except two friends who only caught her attention when she screamed it a second time and then they shut up.) "Yes, well then, I would just like to say that I have seen our friend, Mac's new friend has been coming in to visit Honey a lot. A few of them looked where Honey was sitting and she felt a little embarrassed at the mention of her name. " I think that…"
"GET ON WITH IT!" Duchess shouted.
"QUIET, YOU!" Madame Foster screamed back. "Ahem, as I was saying, I think that Tessa has proved herself to be a true friend. So I declare… Honey will be set up like Bloo! As long as Tessa visits everyday, Honey will never be able to be adopted!" Even though everyone was cheering, the four best pals felt it get very quiet.
"Tessa's going to be given the same privileges? We don't have to protect Honey anymore? Cool…" Mac thought.
"Now I can always have my best friend with me and we will never be a trio!" Tessa thought smiling. However, Bloo and Honey had very different thoughts from their creators. This is what ran through their heads,
"I'm going to be here forever with my crush, and they probably won't ever find out about my feelings for them." But that's where they were wrong. At sunset, Honey decided to think about this in a quiet place, so she went up to the balcony. This is where you could see sunsets that were so pretty that they seemed unreal. But if you pinch yourself, you won't wake up, you'll get this stinging sensation in your arm and scream like heck! Trust me, I tried it and you might as well figure you should enjoy this instead of trying to wake yourself up. Anyway, she sat staring out at the horizon. She felt like she was ready to tell him but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. He was known as the cool imaginary friend while she was as genius as Terrance (okay I exaggerate, she's a little smarter but not much) and was interested in too many girly cute things like bunnies and unicorns. She wanted him to ask her to marry him, take her on cool dates to Vegas, and do things she never- her thoughts were then interrupted (thank heavens! Who knows where that was going!) by Bloo's voice,
"Hey, there you are! I thought I'd never find you! What are you doing up here?"
"Oh, just speculating…" she replied bleakly, "Um, whatcha want?" Bloo blushed and looked down at where his feet would be if he had any.
"I just wanted to see how you were doin'," he replied, "So whadda ya think about getting to live here forever?"
"It's pretty cool, I mean with Wilt, Coco, Eduardo, Hairy (don't ask), and, well, mostly you, Bloo." Bloo looked up at her with excitement all over his face.
"Really? 'Mostly' me?" he grinned, "So are you trying to say that… you… like me back?"
"'Back?' You mean to say that you…"
Then together they chirped, "LOVE ME TOO?"
Honey squealed and Bloo stood at little taller so that his lips could reach hers and let's just leave it at that okay? Okay.
Mac and Tessa opened the door to the balcony, unaware of the sight that could scar them for life.
"Hey, Bloo, Honey? We're gonna lea- AUGH! ROMANCE!" they screamed in unison. When Bloo and Honey didn't respond, Mac coughed loudly to separate the two sickos.
"Ah! Bye, Mac, bye, Tessa!" they said completely embarrassed. Without another word, Mac and Tessa backed away to let the two imaginary friends be 'alone.'
"So, uh, you want me to walk you home?" Mac asked Tessa.
"I live farther down and it's dark," Tessa pointed out shyly.
"That's okay, my Mom is working late tonight," Mac replied.
"Well, okay then." Without thinking, Mac reached over and took hold of Tessa's right hand. "Heh, uh, let's just move on," Tessa shyly responded. They said nothing to each other on the way down to Tessa's house. Finally when they arrived, Tessa said,
"Thanks for walking me home, Mac."
"Anytime, Tess," Mac said quietly and again without thinking, pecked her on the cheek. Tessa, who was absolutely stunned, just said,
"I gotta go." And she ran off. Mac looked at the ground in disappointment. He had gone too far too soon. At this point, it seemed like he could never get her to like him now. But just as Mac began to walk off, Tessa ran back to him, and kissed him on the cheek before running back. Mac's eyes widened. He felt too happy to say anything. So, without another word, he put his hands in his pockets, and with a wide smile spread across his face, walked home in the still night.
