"So when did you- you know- fall in love with her?" Thomas smirked, knowing he had him right where I wanted him, with his head in Fionaland.
"Woah," Newt defeated with his hands up, "What?"
"I may be slow to getting to know things around here, but...

"Chuck, what's going on?" Thomas asked as we marched out of the map room, but as soon as we exited the building it was clear that these boys had been completely overrun by a single girl.
"Girls are awesome." Chuck cracked up, pointing at the oversight tower.
The girl successfully took over the high perch of the glade. She was throwing everything and anything she could find at them. I swore this girl never stopped screaming.
Gally was angry and threatening her, which probably started right around the time he lost control, "Hey, throw one more of those things- Ow!"
I couldn't help myself, seeing Gally struggle was peak entertainment. I laughed, while all the boys sprinted into action, Newt took cover under a piece of wooden board with Winston and Thomas took a more direct route, leaving himself open for whatever fruit she wanted to throw next.
"Go away!" She hollered.
"We come in peace!" Winston insisted but a rock was thrown down at him.
"What happened?" One of the many boys.
"Just duck!" Zart suggested, which was a smart idea because two more thudding sounds soon followed.
"I don't think she likes us very much." Newt chuckled, the pink in his cheeks notable.
"What do you want from me?" The girl yelled again.
"We just wanna talk." Thomas pleaded.
"I'm warning you!" She hollered before I started rapid firing down on the boys.
"Take cover, y'all! Take cover!" Frypan warned, as the hailing of more apples came down on them. I picked up one apple, getting a firm grip on it. I chucked it as hard as I could in her direction.
"Listen, the role of crazy bitch has already been filled!" I threw another apple straight at her, this time I think it hit her.
"Where's another girl here?!" She changed her tune, but not to a kind one.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm not really ecstatic that you're here either. I'm not much of a sharer so don't get any ideas. But I'll be nice, as a peace offering, you called dibs on Thomas, I'll send him up."
She finally looked over the side, glaring hard at me. Her eyes scoured the crowd for Thomas next, stopping at the brown haired boy. She didn't answer, but also still hadn't thrown anything so I considered it a deal.
I straightened his shirt, making him smack my hands away. "First date, are you nervous?"
"I hate you, know that." He said bitterly.
I faked a pout, "I'll cry about it later."
Thomas started up the latter, calling out to the girl at the top so she wouldn't freak out again. I spun around, seeing that all the boys were still looking at me.
I uncrossed my arms and started clapping, "I would just like to congratulate you shanks. You're officially never getting laid."
"You girls are crazy." Mike stated breathlessly, earning a few grunts of agreement.
"We're not even full grown yet, and it's not going to get any easier." I challenge him, making their spirits drop even more.
"I'm gonna to die a virgin." Winston mumbled, his accent growing with his disappointment.
"News flash, we all are." Frypan mutters, softly hitting himself with his large pan that was once used to shelter him from the girls projectitles.
Newts smirk said more than any of his words, he caught my eye. Happy that in fact, not all of them were going to die with their purity. I put a smug look on my face. I never truly believed he would kiss and tell, even if I hadn't threatened to disassemble his body parts. I was glad no one caught our glances before our bright red faces would have told the whole story.
"What's going on up there?" Gally shouted up to Thomas.
"Is she coming down?" Newt followed up. We waited in silence for a second.
Thomas's voice called down, calmer than I expected. "Just give us a few minutes."
"Come on, guys." I started walking away, trying to give Thomas some space. Adding the pressure of us watching their every move was not going to help the situation, I thought of a topic that would attract all their attention, "Fry, what's for dinner?"
"Only my best works of art, Stew." Frypan happily answered.
That certainly brightened moods, even Gally's, "At least something good can come from today."
I jumped on Gally's back, making him carry me as I teased him, "Aw, Gally isn't too happy with the new greenie."
"I'd like her more if the box went back down." Gally countered.
"Don't worry Gally, as fun as it would be to have pillow rights in our underwear, I'm not gonna ditch you for her. You're stuck with me."
"We can still have that pillow fight." Zart offered.
"Zart, you have three seconds to get out of arm's reach before I strangle you." Gally warned, tightening and closing his fist multiple times.
He dropped his shoulders, "It was a joke, come on-"
"One... Two..." Newt started counting. Zart dropped whatever he was carrying, running in the opposite direction.
