Today is the day we set foot into the new area the Drake has discovered; The Twilight River. But, before we set out, of course, we met together in the main area of the Drake for a little chat. I sat down drinking some coffee I had just brewed, Alph was snacking on some freeze-dried apples it appeared, and Brittany was..How do I put this...Acting girly?

"Well, boys, today's the day we venture into the unknown again! Hehe!" She said, looking down at PNF-404 from the Drake's window.

"What's gotten you all excited this morning, Pigeon?" I chuckled.

"O-Oh, nothing, sir! Uhm..hehe," She giggled, and I swore I saw her blush.

"Hmm..Young lady, you're hiding something from me," I teased, trying to get a different reaction out of her.

"WHAT?! HIDING SOMETHING?! Uhm...Nope!" She then shoved some folders into my arms, "Unless you mean those notes I took on the fruit we found, Charlie!"

"Did you just call me by my name, Pigeon?" My ear twitched as even I blushed a tiny bit.

"Uhm..is that a bad thing..?" She said as her own ears drooped, blushing like crazy.

"Well, no," I chuckled, "It's just you've always called me "sir" or "captain", so this is just new to me, Pigeon."

"Speaking of names, why do you call me Pigeon?" Oh crap...she caught me...

"WELL UH...I suppose it's because..well, because you're uh.."

"A rat with wings?" She giggled.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT! The exact opposite, Pig- I mean, Brittany!" Usually I was never this flustered, but somehow she had managed to crack my shell.

"Is it because I'm..easily fooled to you?" She got a bit closer to me, forcing me to back up.

"No, no, no! I just-"

"Or is it because I'm attractive to you, Charlie?" DAMNIT! The ONE THING I didn't want her to ask!

"Well..I..er.." I really was caught on my tongue and couldn't think of anything to say.

She had me completely backed up into the counter, my hands stationed on it trying to keep my cool and not break. I don't know what's gotten into her, but for some reason, I kinda don't mind this kind of attention..I still didn't want to give away my big secret, not yet..

"Ok, Brittany, I think that's enough!" Alph got her off of me, "The Captain can't handle that much in one sitting, I assume!"

"Uhhm..SURE I CAN!" Damnit, why did I say that?!

"Oh?" Brittany's ears perked up, smiling devilishly like always.

"Well, uh..Surely I can handle a little playful banter! Heheh," I bumped Alph's arm, "Back me up here, kiddo.."

"Y-Yea! You're the great Charlie! You can take on any situation!" He chuckled awkwardly, his ears resting.

"Oh, well then get used to it! Hehe!" She then patted my chest with her hand, walking off and humming to herself.

When I felt her pat my chest, it's almost like my heart skipped a beat..Her tiny hand against my big, bulky chest was...Adorable. I don't know why I've felt so grabby around her, but whenever she's just really close to me, all I wanna do is hold her hands or hug her close..Am I coming down with something? Did I accidently breathe in a little bit of PNF-404's air?!
