ITS HERE. THE MOMENT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR....

*blows trumpet*

Requested by SelenaJones_Vampires and BookLoverforever27 Here it is!

Marella ducked under joint hands and screaming teachers, desperate to hide in her next class. It was the final of the day, then she could go home and convince Dex to make something that would make Linh forget.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. She should have known Lady Korkiki- or something like that- would have given Linh extra work. Sure, she'd felt bad for her, but it was just a little funny. Until she'd became the laughingstock. Or would be. She would be when Linh exposed her to the whole of Foxfire.

Idiot, her mind reprimanded, you know Linh wouldn't do that. She's way too nice. That's a Stina move.

"Yeah, but what if she does?" Marella mumbled. This wasn't like her. She shook her head furiously, slapping herself a few times to snap out of it. If Linh really did want to expose her, Marella would get there first. What if she'd wrote something embarrassing too? There was about ten minutes until her lesson with Fintan. (It autocorrected to Feet I can't-). So that was it.

She'd go back, steal Linh's paper and her own, zip away, and get that potion from Dex. Easy peasy.

Until it wasn't.

For one thing, there were now more screaming teachers and the couples with joint hands were making out. Marella scrunched up her nose. What was this, Valentine's Day Prom? The worst possible combination.

"Marellaaaaaaa!" squealed an annoying and overfamiliar voice. For some reason, Magnate Leto had come across the urge to hire an official Therapist because "you kids have stressy, messy, and alienated thoughts." It was his monthly obsession. Marella only had to tolerate for about one more week.

The therapist was seventeen, bubbly, overly enthusiastic, and had an obsession with Marella because since she was a pyrokinetic she was apparently in need of therapy. Her name was Ms. Hunter, but "you can call me Maggieeeee!" Marella's nickname for her was The Maggot.

"Marellaaaaa!" she shrieked again, attracting weird stares and stifled giggles. Why did she have to drag out the last letters of names? "You said you would come see me before your trainingggggg!" So apparently she did it with normal words too.

Marella flipped a braid over her shoulder. "No thanks 'Maggieeeeee' I'm going to be late." She tensed. Six minutes to go.

The Maggot beamed again, showing off her annoyingly deep dimples. "I'm more important!"

Finding no way out of this, Marella prepared to dash. But Biana and Tam, thank the alicorns for them- Biana slapped Tam across the face, making him freeze for a second before catching on. "Ms. Hunter!" he said in a voice that would convince nobody except a certain thick headed therapist. "We need couples therapy!"

She turned excitedly. "Oh yes!" she trilled. "My absolute FAVE. Come along, dears, and remember it's MAGGIE!"

Tam shot Marella a scowl as he left, clearly meaning, you'd better repay me or else.

Four minutes. Marella sharply turned on her heel, practically breaking off the door handle. She exhaled, relieved. There was nobody inside.

Maybe this would work after all. She headed over to stack on Lady Korcoke's desk and sifted through the papers. There was hers, and there was Linh's...

Goals:

- Get a Murcat and name her Princess Purryfins
- Get Tammy to eat a cupcake with pink frosting
- Go shopping at Atlantis with Biana
- Master your hydrokenisis by the end of this year
- Tell Tammy to ask Biana out

Oh. Well that was disappointing. At least she did have some good blackmail material against Tiana now. Marella shrugged, leaving the paper back on the stack. She rifled through frantically. Two minutes to go. Where the hell was it?

Someone cleared their throat. "Looking for this?"

It better be Voldemort. Even Lady Cokekorki. She was prepared for it to even be Medusa. Just not-

And of course. It was Linh. Meaning she'd read it and was prepared to expose her.

Linh didn't seem angry or even remotely evil though. She had a normal tone of voice and was smiling. Her cheeks were burning, probably from the heat.

"Hi? I'm gonna go now, byee!" Marella stepped to the side, but Linh went right with her.

"Waiiit," she protested. "How come you're still here?"

"How come you're still here?"

They stared at each other for a few moments, arms crossed.

Then Linh giggled. "I'm not here to expose you."

"What?"

She smirked. "You know, not everyone is as oblivious as a brick. I know what you were thinking, and relax. I just want to ask you something."

Now it was Marella's turn to resemble a strawberry. "Sorry? I didn't mean for you to read that-"

"But did you mean it?" Linh waited. Thirty seconds.

"I-er." The door wasn't far. Maybe she could run? Again? She'd even face The Maggot for this. And give Tam free Robux of course.

"You're going to be late to Fintan, Marella. Tell me. I'm not going to eat you."

Marella stalled for a bit more. The bells chimed. Fintan would be angry. "I- er- yes? No? YeS- I didn't mean it, but I did, oh screw it. Yes, I did mean it. I even had a plan- written but it's not going to work, you already- WHYDIDISAYTHATWHATTHEFUCK-"

The black haired girl stared for a moment longer. "You know, I wouldn't mind."

"Mind what?" Marella's blood pressure was rising. Help.

"Being your girlfriend." Linh stared at the floor, scuffing the toe of her boots.

"So you would? Like, be my girlfriend?"

"Are you asking me out, Marella Redek?" She raised an eyebrow.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no. She hadn't meant to- but she would have-

"Because if you are... well, yeah. Yes," now Linh looked like she wanted to make a dash for it.

Marella flushed to the roots of her blonde hair, which made her look supremely attractive, she was sure.

"Cool," WHYWASLINHSOCHILL? "I'll wait in front of the coffee shop at Atlantis. See you at five." Linh awkwardly brushed a kiss on Marella's cheek.

Was it possible to resemble the planet Mars? Because that's probably what happened. Before Marella could react, Linh was gone.

She'd just been asked out.

On a date.

By Linh.

She didn't know whether to faint or break Keefe's face for fun.

Suddenly she was quaking. Seriously? An earthquake? But it wasn't. It was a mini earthquake, caused by another girl, this time with brown hair. Biana shook Marella violently. "OH EM GEE. SHE ASKED YOU OUT. WE NEED TO GO SHOPPING. SCREW FINTAN LETS DITCH SCHOOL NOW!"

Marella's eardrums throbbed. To add to the din, Tam's voice joined.

"IF YOU HURT MY SISTER MARELLA REDEK I WILL CONVICE THE MAGGOT TO GIVE YOU EXTRA THERAPY LESSONS. I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR FREE ROBUX BUT THIS- DIE!" And out of nowhere...

He brought out a pitchfork.

Thankfully Biana had a first aid kit in her makeup bag.

Sorry if you were expecting a full on kiss- I just think Linh and Marella would be the type to take it slow, but once they got really serious, there's no separating them:)
