The Adventures of IceT and Limon (A Chikin Nuggit OC Fanfiction)

Chapter 23: The Sleepover

(Chikin's POV)

Synopsis: IceT and Chikin meet once again at Slushi's house, where a confession is made from one of them.

         The sounds of laughter and good conversations were in the air at Slushi's house, the mint-green fox herself debating movie genres with Sody Pop on the living room's blue couch while Chee and Cofi were together watching funny videos on the calico cat's phone in the kitchen area.

Fwench Fwy, Iscream and Hawt Saus had yet to show up, but other than that, everyone Chikin knew was already gathered around in his view with their sleeping bags and various belongings scattered on the floor.

Well, everyone except the two guests they were having over.

It all started just a few days ago when he, Fwench Fwy and Slushi were hanging out at their local fast food restaurant. Chikin was enjoying his chicken nuggets with fries and a drink when Slushi had proposed the idea of everyone they knew having a sleepover together.

"Oh, it'd be so cool for us to keep each other company overnight - I have a whole agenda of things we could do!" The mint-green fox exclaimed in glee, elbows propped up on the table as she explained the possibilities of a fun-filled evening.

"We can play truth or dare, tell stories, watch scary movies...I could keep going?"

"No need, I'm already in," He told her with a french fry in his mouth. "But who exactly are we inviting?"

"Well, there's us three, Chee, Iscream, Cofi, Sody if we keep it kid friendly, then maybe Hawt Saus if he's up for it?"

"Don't worry, I think he'd like it," Chikin reassured her, remembering how the spicy squirrel had conveyed his want to change and become a better person. "Are we missing anyone else?"

At this, Slushi's eyes lit up in realization. "Hey, would it be a good idea if I invited someone else? I don't think you know her, but I've been friends with her for a while now, and she's kind of cool to hang out with."

The thought of having someone new being included in their usual antics piqued his interest, chewing on a nugget as he contemplated the idea. "If she wants to come over, I don't see the problem."

Fwench Fwy, who's been quiet for most of the conversation, chimes in with their own question. "Would this Friday be a good idea to have our sleepover? I know me and Iscream will be free by then."

"Yeah, I can manage that," Slushi confirmed before taking a sip of her canned soda. "All I have to do is send out the invites, and then we'll have the best night of our lives for sure!"

Chikin didn't mind when Slushi mentioned later on that her friend would be having a plus-one with her. He simply just saw it as an opportunity to get to know more soon-to-be-friends!

However, as he was thinking about it, the dog began to realize that his fellow fandom enthusiast never mentioned either of her friend's names to him or anyone else.

"Hey, Slushi?" He asked from across her living room, sitting on her large magenta carpet in his favorite loaf position. "Those new guys you wanted us to meet: what did you say their names were?"

In the middle of his question, the sound of a doorbell rang throughout the house, alerting everyone present of someone at the door. They all turned their heads to the source, curiosity and excitement radiating off of them in waves.

"Oh, that has to be them!" Slushi squealed with glee, stars in her eyes as she speed-walked to her door and put her paw on the shining doorknob. "Alright everyone, remember to be nice and smile!"

With a drumroll playing in the background, the entrance was swung open to reveal none other than IceT and Limon at the door.

At this, a small gasp escaped him as his eyes lit up with stars. Chikin's short tail started to wag whilst the two guests came inside, greeting everyone they made eye contact with. It seemed as though everyone knew them in one way or another when they addressed each other in familiarity.

"And here I thought we were gonna be the odd ones out," Limon humored the group, a joke that landed as everyone joined in on the laughter.

Looking around, the mouse's eyes landed on Chikin, smiling in elation when she went over to set down her sleeping bag for the night. He tried his hardest to conceal the light blush blooming his cheeks as IceT decided to sit next to him, her paws on her knees with her bowed tail swaying from side to side.

"Wow, I can't believe most of our usual customers were part of the same friend group all along: crazy coincidence, right?"

"Yeah, it really is," Chikin replied, feeling at ease as his posture relaxed into his position on the fuzzy carpet. "I'm glad you're more comfortable around us. Now, you can enjoy when we do all the fun activities Slushi's got planned for tonight."

"By the way, I just wanted to thank you for leaving a tip at Crafty Corner the other day. It goes a long way into helping me and Limon run the place," IceT recalled, fiddling with her tail as the memory made itself fresh in Chikin's mind.

"Wait, how'd you notice?" The dog exclaimed in hushed surprise, his eyebrows raised at her disclosure.

"Well, it's not very hard to spot you whenever you come in," She confessed bashfully as she hid her flushed face in her paws and tail. "You're always trying to do it without being noticed, but I usually manage to see you whenever I'm helping someone out."

"Oh," Was all Chikin could manage to say at the revelation.

The two of them sat in silence for a few moments, unsure of how to proceed after her acknowledgement with warmth flooding their faces. Then, their quiet was interrupted by Slushi when she stood up to announce their first activity of the night.

"Time for the game that relies purely on proper communication: Charades!"
