Knock, Knock

Dex ran a hand through his hair agitatedly. He was in the middle of a crisis! There was a dance coming up at Foxfire. The problem wasn't that he didn't know who to ask- it was that he didn't know how to ask HER out.

The HER came in the form of a petite, feisty blonde girl called Marella Redek.

Now, a lot of people assumed he might have had a crush on Biana after moving on from Sophie, but the truth was he blushed whenever he was flattered- no matter who the person was.

So, he paced the floor of his bedroom, cringing at the occasional violent screaming and crashes evoked by Rex, Bex, and Lex.

Sometimes he wished he could disappear into the ground. Now was one of those times. The only way he thought this could be solved was if Marella herself appeared into his bedroom, which was imp-

Knock, Knock.

Before he could get up to answer it, the door flew open on its own.

Okay, this was definitely a coincidence; it was possible she'd accidentally light leaped here.

"Hey Dex, I came over to check on you," said Marella.

So maybe not a coincidence.

He was majik.

Marella crossed her arms. "What took you so long to answer the door?"

"Please, you only knocked once," Dex snorted. "So, why'd you check up on me?"

"It's cause the dance was coming up and, well, I wanted to see who you asked," she replied. Was it just him, or did she look faintly embarrassed?

"Oh, er, I want to ask someone but I'm pretty sure she's going to say no..."

Her fists clenched and unclenched. She was angry- Dex couldn't think why. "Anyone who would say no to you is stupid."

Dex was sure he looked like an overripe strawberry. "How would you say I should ask her to the dance?"

Marella stilled, considering. "Well, I've had better ideas, but this is the only one I could think of. Tell her the corniest knock knock joke you know and hand her a flower in her favorite color."

It was actually a pretty good idea. "Justa sec..." Dex chirped and headed into the landing. There was a vase of multicolored flowers. He picked off an orange rose and hurried back.

The blonde looked bemused as he cleared his throat.

"Knock knock."

Marella smirked, clearly she didn't know what was going to happen. "Who's there?"

"Do-ya"

An eyebrow was raised. "Do-ya who?"

The whole overripe strawberry thing was back. "Do-ya want to go to the dance with me, Marella?" Dex whispered, holding out the flower.

Even though a flush bloomed on her face, she cupped a hand over one ear. "Whatcha say? Didn't catch it."

Dex scowled. "I hate you. I said, do you want to go to the dance with me?"

Marella plucked the rose from his hand and stood on her tiptoes. Her lips grazed his cheek.

"Duh."
