Moonshell fluff :]
Thank you Lemonbatz for the kitty and enjoy!!! :D

Gigi lied in her bed, scanning through and organizing random objects lied out in front of her.
Feathers, pretty rocks, crayons she stole from Scraps, a large ammonite, dice-.. Wait.

Gigi lifted her head, making eye contact with Shelly who had quietly entered her room without her even noticing.
"Oh, hey Shelly." Gigi said as her confused expression turned into a content one. "Hi Gigi!" Shelly greeted her "Sorry for entering without knocking."
Gigi snickered "Oh don't worry. I do that all the time on purpose."
"Oh-.. Anyways, I was wondering if you could help me with something?"
"Of course! Need another bone?" Gigi guessed.
"No.. What space themed items do you have?" Shelly asked.
"Ooooooohh you know I have a ton!"
"You have a ton of everything!" Shelly replied, following Gigi as she got up off her bed and went towards her shelf.
Gigi pulled out a bin full of space themed objects she had snatched and collected from different places... And toons.
She watched as Shelly dig through it, eventually picking out a handful of beads. The beads were shiny and in different shades of blues and purples and they were different shapes like stars and planets.

"These are perfect!" Shelly said, feeling through the pile of beads.
She placed a bag of trinkets in Gigi's hand as a trade "Thank you so much Gigi!"
"Anytime!" Gigi walked back over to her bed as Shelly left, waving goodbye to her.
As Gigi opened and began sorting through her newly obtained treasures, she couldn't help but wonder why Shelly wanted those in the first place. She didn't seem so much like a fan of astronomy...
Oh well. As long as Gigi was getting new treasures!

...

When Shelly entered her room, she immediately took out the string she had borrowed from Scraps and began making the necklace she had planned all along to make. She hoped it would be a good enough gift for Astro, deep down she was a little anxious. With every bead she slipped onto the necklace, she began feeling a little more confident as the necklace slowly wove itself into a masterpiece. This would finally be the day, she was sure of it.
She'd finally be able to tell Astro about her feelings for him.

Just as she tied a knot and finished the necklace, a faint knocking came from her door.
She quickly got up and went to answer the door, carefully putting the finished necklace in her pocket. Shelly opened the door, and to her surprise, it was Astro! She grew more nervous at his sudden arrival, but tried the best she could to push her anxiousness to the back of her mind. "Hi Astro!"
"Hello Shelly." Astro said, his tone calm and relaxed.

"Anything you need?" Shelly asked.
A small moment of hesitation came from him, making Shelly's anxiety rise again.
"I ... Uhm... Could you come to the lobby?.. With me?.." Astro finally said, stumbling over his words.
"Oh! Yes of course!" Shelly replied, following him as they walked down the hallway.

They arrived to the main part of the lobby, walking up the small steps and into the garden.
Small but colorful flowers bloomed beneath their feet as the two stood in front of each other, both feeling an uncomfortable suspense growing. Although it was strange, it still felt wonderful to be standing alone with Astro.
Was this the perfect moment she was looking for?

"Astro. I have something for you." Shelly said, reaching into her pocket.
She took out the blue and purple necklace adorned with star and planet shaped beads, showing it to Astro. He stared in awe and admiration for a short moment before slipping a hand out from under his blanket and taking the necklace. Shelly had never seen his actual hands before. He put on the necklace, warmly smiling at Shelly. "Thank you.. I also have something for you.." He placed his hand in Shelly's, opening his hand and placing a small dinosaur skull in her palm. "An oviraptor skull!!" She gasped, joy rushing over her "Thank you!!!" She couldn't help but to run up to him and hug him. Astro was stunned for a moment, but hugged her back, the same happy expression as Shelly painted on his face.

The two lied against the tree, holding hands and staring up at the starry sky.
"I love you Shelly." Astro confessed
"I love you too Astro." Shelly replied.

For the rest of the night, they chatted and joked until
finally falling asleep under the starlit sky.
