Abby flipped through the channels on her new mini-TV, searching for the perfect program to watch. She finally came upon the movie 50 First Dates. She lied in her hay bed, watching the romantic movie with a sigh of content. Otis really should be in here watching it with her. They hadn't had a romantic movie night for a while.

Abby's movie was interrupted when she heard a knock on her stall door. She quickly got up and proceeded over to the door, where she found Bessy standing with a large package in her arms.

"Hiya, Bessy!" Abby friendly greeted, her eyes glued to the mysterious item in Bessy's care.

Bessy, as if reading her mind, grinned and said, "Don't you know what this is? It's here, Abby!"

Abby excitedly gasped, for she just realized what was concealed in the package. "Can this really be it?!" She opened the package and softly squealed. It was a beautiful, satin black dress with long, sparkly fringe at the bottom. Abby had ordered it a couple days ago for quite a special event. It was almost her and Otis's one-month anniversary. It had almost been exactly a month ago they admitted their feelings to each other, and since then they had been going steady as a couple. The two had planned a romantic dinner and dancing that was approaching in just a couple days; Saturday to be exact.

"It's gorgeous, honey," Bessy admired, a bit envious herself that she didn't own anything so glamorous. "Otis is sure going be stunned when he sees you in that."

Abby blushed and giggled. She hoped that her dress would be strongly attractive to Otis's eye. She loved nothing more than the thought of Otis unable to keep his eyes off her the whole night. She pulled the dress out of the torn-up package and slipped it on. "What do ya think, Bessy?"

"Stunning!" Bessy gasped, eyes widened. "Boy, you're really going out of your way to attract Dum-Dum."

Abby simply rolled her eyes at Bessy's snarky comment. No force in the universe could ever keep Bessy from hurling insults at Otis. She had grown used to it.

Abby twirled around in her dress in front of a large mirror in her stall. "I'm in love with it! It's even prettier than my blue one (from "Abby & Veronica"). This will sure make Otis fall head over hooves."

Abby finally slid the dress off and hung it up in the back of her closet for Saturday night. Her heart leaped for joy as she anticipated the romantic date. As Bessy turned away, Abby decided to go find her beloved Otis.

Otis and his friends were outside, getting into some kind of mischief as usual. They were building a flamethrower gun for unknown reasons. Abby entered just in time to hear Freddy ranting on about making "chi- I mean, roasted veggies –" with the gun. Then, Pig was blabbering on about food. Abby spotted Otis wearing a mask and operating on the invention with a blow torch. He looks so handsome, she thought.

Otis turned to see Abby heading toward him, and immediately took off the mask and set down the torch. Abby ran up to Otis and greeted him with a, "Hi, baby!"

"Hello, sweetie," Otis said in his natural suave voice. The two embraced and shared a compassionate kiss, causing Otis's friends to make sickened and nauseous faces.

"Can you believe it's already been a month since we admitted our feelings to each other?" Abby smiled.

"Yes; time really flies when you have someone to love," Otis said romantically with a wink. "Are you ready for Saturday night?"

"Definitely! As a matter of fact, my dress I ordered especially for the night just arrived."

"I can't wait to see it," Otis cooed.

The silence was then broken by Pip, who yelled, "C'mon, O, we gotta finish our flamethrower gun!"

Otis chuckled and rolled his eyes, and said to Abby, "I've got some unfinished business to take care of. I'll catch up with you later, sweetie."

"Okay!" Abby embraced Otis's warm, muscular body once again in a hug before she retreated back into the barn. In the month she and Otis had been together, they were most definitely going steady; they already had little affectionate names for each other. Abby's insides tingled every time she was around Otis, for she truly loved him. She knew nothing or no one could ever possibly get in the way of the feelings they shared.
