"[Y/N] wanna go shopping?" M'gann asked.
You felt your heart rate accelerate. You've had a crush on the Martian since last month, and now whenever she asked you to do something you always get flustered.
"Y-Yeah, sure. Um, let me solve this last math question first, then I'll change and we can go," you said.
"Great! I guess I'll go get my things first," she smiled before flying away excitedly.
You looked at the maths question. It was just a bunch of numbers you couldn't decipher. Screw maths. Who cares about maths when you're going to go shopping with M'gann?! You gathered your school stuff and rushed to your room. "Hm... Well I wanna look good but at the same time, I don't want to look too much of a try-hard." You rummaged through your wardrobe, before your eyes landed on a green hoodie. "Well that could work..." Since it was December, it was freakishly cold. It wasn't snowing but the temperature could still be a nightmare. You grabbed the hoodie along with a cropped tee and jeans. You changed quickly and slipped on some ankle boots. You grabbed your wallet and phone, stuffed it into your pocket and zipped up the hoodie. All ready.
You stepped into the living room to see M'gann waiting patiently for you.
"All ready?"
"Yep," you reply.
She pulled you to the zeta tube and stepped in.
"Miss Martian, B06; [Y/N], B09," the computer voice spoke.
The next thing you know, you two were in New York City.
"Woah... You never told me we were coming here!"
M'gann giggled, pulling you towards a tall building, and what you assumed was a mall. You two entered the huge building, and warmth immediately engulfed you.
"Come on!" M'gann said, taking your hand and pulling you.
Your hand felt so perfect in M'gann's soft, warm one.
You were being pulled into a store called "Belle's". M'gann enthusiastically pulled you to the back of the shop where racks of dresses were hung. They were even colour coded. You wanted to squeal at the sight of all the dresses but managed to contain it.
"Let's try on some dresses!"
You went to the rack of black dresses and pulled out a knee length one. It was a sleeveless dress. "M'gann what do you think?" You showed her the dress.
"That's amazing! You should try it on, I bet it looks good on you."
You nodded and walked into the dressing room, and changed into the dress. You walked out. "Does it look...okay?"
"[Y/N] you look gorgeous!" M'gann exclaimed.
You felt your face flush and you stuttered out a "thanks". You changed back into your hoodie and jeans and walked back out. M'gann was holding on to a red dress which looked really pretty. She walked into the dressing room after you came out. You strayed back to the black dresses, your eye catching sight of a particular one. The skirt was pure black; the front was up to your knees while the back reached the floor. The top was white and it was also sleeveless.
"Um...[Y/N]?"
You whipped around. "Yeah?"
"Um... Could you help me...um... Zip up the dress?"
"Y-Yeah... Erm... Do I--?" you asked hesitantly.
The door of the changing room opening a crack answered your question. You stepped inside, seeing M'gann was already in the dress, though it was unzipped. She was holding her hair up so you could zip the dress up without getting any hair tangled up. You reached out, and took the small zipper. Don't lose control, you told yourself (you desperately wanted to kiss her). You squeezed your eyes shut. You were worried that if you opened them, it would be too much to handle and you'd end up kissing her -- or worse.
"Are--Are you done?"
"Y-Yeah," you breathed, opening your eyes.
She turned around, bumping you slightly while doing so. The changing room was small. It wasn't meant to fit two. "How do I look?"
"A-Amazing," you whispered. She was right in front of you, so close. One step forward and you two would be kissing. You stared at M'gann. She did look amazing. Her eyes were beautiful and her hair looked so soft and her lips were so red and the dress hugged her curves and--
"Mmph!"
You lost it. You had slammed your lips against hers and pushed her against the wall of the dressing room. The thing that made you stop was her kissing back. That was when you jumped back.
"I--I'm sorry--I should never have--" You kicked the dressing room door opened and ran, the tears spilling as you did. You didn't stop running until you heard the computer voice say, "[Y/N], B09".

You kicked the sand and watched as they were thrown off the ground and fell back. The waves crashed into the jagged-edge rocks not far from you. You climbed on them and sat on one. You sighed. How did you mess up so bad? The whole day went from perfect to horrendous. How you just kissed her--
You picked up a small pebble beside you and threw it into the sea. You were weighed down by regret. You should've never kissed her.
"[Y/N?]"
Your blood chilled and felt your anxiety rise. You heart started to palpitate quicker. You turned around. M'gann. She flew up and sat down, leaving a meter-wide gap between you two.
"I'm so sorry M'gann I shouldn't have kissed you back there I don't know what happened or what came over me I just lost it," you rambled. "I--I understand if you hate me now." Your voice cracked at the end.
It was silent for a few moments.
"You know when I first came to Earth, I really wanted to find someone I could love. Someone I could rely on, someone I could hug daily, someone who loved me back and someone who wouldn't make me feel alone. When I settled down in this Cave, Conner was the one I was attracted to. We did go out a few times, but then we just...stopped. Then, you joined. When you did I couldn't stop noticing how you were just so beautiful. A month later I already had some feelings for you. I was confused. Back in Mars when I was still learning about humans, it seemed that love was only supposed to be with your opposite gender. I got scared. I thought I was different. So I pushed your feelings for you away, and ignored them completely. But then you kissed me today and I... I realised that the feelings could never be pushed away or just simply ignored. And that maybe...maybe love can be with the same gender. It might be wrong, but... I can't ignore the feelings. I really, really love you, [Y/N]," she finished.
"M'gann, I..." You were shocked. She had feelings for you too? It was like a dream come true! "I love you too," you said, grinning widely.
M'gann smiled back, giving you a quick kiss. Your only response was to pull her back in and deepen the kiss.
