Barf Bag sighed as she sat in the grass, staring at her reflection in the nearby pool of water. For hours, she kept looking all over herself, trying to look for anything that made her feel desired. Just last month, she remembered squabbling with Lollipop...again. Of course, it was about BB's intelligence as usual. BB could never understand why Lollipop saw her in such a negative light. She had always been incredibly smart. Or maybe Lollipoop couldn't see that..heh.. she smiled to herself thinking about that. But what did catch her was what Lollipop said to her before leaving. She could still remember her words.

"The only thing worse than you having those barf molecules damaging your brain, is the fact that you're such an ugly broad!"

Ugly? That sentence occasionally kept replaying in her head. Was she really that ugly? No, she couldn't be. She had friends, close friends who appreciated her for what she does for the team! There's no way any of them thinks of her as ugly, right? BB continued staring at her reflection more, studying her appearance, and with each detail she picked up, the more her heart sank.

The first thing that she took notice, was her eyes of course. Actually, they were probably the only good thing about her. They were pale green, but at least it seemed to be a pretty shade of green, at least to her. Then her hair. It was brown, and grew down past her shoulders a bit. It...was quite messy though, it looked as if it were all over the place. Running one hand over it, her fingers could feel many different tangles in there. She sighed, taking it out. Many small hairs were also sticking out as well. Her eyes then traced down to her body. What was she wearing? A dress....made of a paper bag...the lower bottom being soaked with puke. Her shoes didn't look any better. She frowned as she stared at her dress more. She looked like the freaking paper bag princess (Anyone remember that book?). Wait no, scratch that, even the paper bag princess looked better than her!

Not to mention, she looked at her chest area, feeling even more sad. She had probably the most flat-chested body ever. She couldn't even compare to some of the other female contestants. Thinking back to her doubts of what Lollipop said, tears started to form in her eyes. Who would find her desirable or attractive? She looks like a mess, and she didn't even at least have a good looking body. Sniffling, she squeezed her eyes shut as her tears dropped into the pond of water.

Her breath hitched as she heard a familiar voice. "Hey Barf Bag!" She turned to see her best friend, Donut approaching her. Compared to her, he looked better in every way. That brown leather coat that he always wore over that iconic tan polo shirt. Not to mention his tan hair, just...it was almost mesmerizing for her to look at. She remembered when she first laid her eyes on him when he got flung to the LOL. He was a lot more irritable from what she could remember. He also didn't have that nice beard back then, but he grew one overtime during all those years being locked up in that thing. Of course, it was a lot longer once they had all been released for BFB, but he trimmed it to what it was now. Admittedly, Barf Bag thought he looked even more cute with it, but who was she kidding, if only she could look as good as him.

He was a really good friend towards her though, he stayed by her side a lot, especially that time when she was looking to go into a new team for TPOT. He was so caring towards her, BB didn't know what she did to deserve someone like him,

Anyway, she at least felt a bit glad that she wasn't alone anymore. Not that it really helped. She quickly wiped her tears, hoping that Donut doesn't notice. "Hey...", she greeted softly, sitting up a bit. Donut sat down next to her, before looking at her face. He could see that the areas around her eyes were a bit wet. A little concerned, he leaned in closer. "Hey, is something wrong?", he asked. BB glanced away nervously. "Wh..no, I'm fine! What do you mean?", she asked. Donut frowned a bit, now he was sure something was up. "Were...you crying?", he asked. Her eyes kept darting back and forth, already feeling the tears welling up in her eyes, now that she knew Donut was onto her.

Sucking in her breath, she could feel the fresh tears flow down her cheeks, now ashamed of crying in front of her friend. BB let out a small sob, as she forced herself to look at the grass, she dared not to look at Donut's face. His eyes widened a bit, and he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Whoa..hey! BB, why are you crying?", he asked worriedly. She could feel her face heating up now, due to embarrassment. Barf Bag sighed, looking back up, over to Donut's face, she could really see the worry in his eyes. He tilted his head, still waiting for a response. "What's wrong, BB? Are you okay? You can tell me..", he said softly, giving her a reassuring look. BB sighed again, deciding it was better to just tell him what was bothering her. She couldn't just walk away and pretend like this didn't happen anyway...

"I...I was just thinking to myself...you know...looking at my appearance and...", she started, her eyes gazing back towards the pool of water, seeing her tear stained eyes, plus Donut looking down at the water as well. "And?", Donut asked with patience. "I was...thinking about what Lolly said to me last month...she said I was an ugly broad..", she muttered at the last part, but it was still loud enough for Donut to hear. She turned to look at his face, now seeing the shocked expression, his mouth was gaped open. "I couldn't get her comment out of my head...I was looking at my reflection in the water...and...", more tears started to drip down. "I...I guess she might be right...I do look awful...", closing her eyes shut, she sniffled again. Donut gasped a little, placing his hand on her shoulder once again, edging closer. "Barf...", he started.

"I mean, look at me, Donut! My hair is messy and all over the place, my dress...it's not even made of any fabric material, and....I'm probably the most flat chested girl around here!", she cried, with another sob. She then buried her hands in her face. "Who would like someone like me?", she muttered. "I do!", Donut's voice suddenly broke the silence, making BB's eyes widen, as she looked over at him. "H..huh?" Donut moved her to look him directly in the eyes. His brown eyes almost seemed like they were interlocked with her green ones. "BB, listen to me. You are NOT ugly, and please don't think that about yourself. Plus, lots of people like you! Gelatin, Bomby, Naily, Gaty...", he listed off. "And don't forget, I'm here too! We've been the closest together, and what I said is true, BB...I like you, no...more than that.", he confessed, starting to blush a little.

Barf Bag felt herself starting to blush a little as well. She wiped her tears, sniffling a little. "D..donut...", she started. "I...I loved you for quite a long while, BB....you were always so smart..and you knew what to do for our team! You're a fantastic person, and I don't think anyone else could tell you that otherwise..", Donut continued, gently grabbing her hand. BB's tears had stopped now, a small smile began to appear on her face. "Seeing you berating yourself like that...it saddens me BB...everything you're saying about yourself, it's not true! I think your frizzy hair is cute...plus, I don't care if your outfits different from others, it's unique, and I certainly don't care how your body is. To me, you are beautiful...just the way you are...", he finished, giving her a sweet smile.

Barf Bag looked at him with shock, but still had a large smile on her face. "Donut...oh my god...do..do you really mean all that..?", she asked. Donut chuckled. "Would I say all that and lie?", he asked. BB moved closer to him, and the two enveloped into an embrace. They closed their eyes, staying like that for awhile. "I love you Barf Bag...so much...and please..don't listen to what Lolly says about you, or anyone else..you're perfect in my eyes..", Donut whispered. BB buried her face into his chest more. "I love you too...", she said. As they looked at each other again, they leaned in for a kiss.

It may have lasted a few seconds, but to Barf Bag, it was probably the most wonderful experience in her life.
