Gremlins One Shots

Gossiping

"Like, excuse me, keep my name out of your mouth"

"Right" Greta nodded and dipped the nail polish brush in the bottle. 

Lenny's hands were spread out on a towel atop Greta's bed as she painted his claws.  The two had been chatting for a while now, talking about boys, annoying people, and whatever came up for conversation. 

"But enough about meeee, what about you, girl?" Lenny asked Greta.

Greta chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"Lenny, you know I only like humans.  There's just something about guy gremlins that gives me the ick"

Lenny's jaw slacked and he scoffed.

"Romantically, I mean, dummy" Greta reassured him. 

A small beat of silence overtook the two as Greta fell deep into thought.

"You're thinking about that guy, aren't you?" Lenny finally pried.

Greta put the cap back on the nail polish and began to fan Lenny's right hand.

"Forster"

Greta sighed and shook her head, placing her hands in her lap. 

"I thought he loved me... I was just stupid," she bit her lip, buried sadness suddenly surfacing in her mind.

Lenny's mouth pinched into a bitter frown.  He hated seeing Greta this sad.  She was usually so tough and headstrong. 

"Well you're not stupid.  He's stupid"

Greta's lips shifted to a sad smile.

"Let's find you another human boy!" Lenny proposed. 

Greta scoffed "Really, Lenny? How are we supposed to do that?"

"I dunno but we'll find somebody" Lenny shrugged "I need to start looking for someone too.  Everyone here stinks and George isn't making any moves-"

Lenny's eyes went wide and Greta gasped.

"Woah, waaaait a second, you like George?!"

Lenny reached over and quickly slapped his hands over Greta's mouth.

"My gosh, Greta, do you have to tell the whole hoard?" Lenny hissed. 

Greta pushed Lenny off of her and couldn't help but grin.

"Ok, fine! I like George!" Lenny threw his hands up "you better not tell anyone, ok?  This is sworn secrecy.  Girl code"

"Of course I'm not gonna tell anyone" Greta giggled "but seriously? George?  I mean, I knew you guys were close but I didn't think it was that close"

" Well I guess our closeness is what drew me to him.  He's just so calm and cool" Lenny gushed.

"So, like, the opposite of you" Greta smirked.

"Well, you know what they say, opposites attract!"

"Yeah right, you just wanna kiss his big lips" Greta chuckled.

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU" Lenny picked up a stray pillow on Greta's bed and hurled it at her, sending the duo into a fit of laughter.
