Chapter 6: Birdy's most amazin date

(We are taking a quick break from the main story to see how the Date between bridy and matilda went! Told from Frederica's Point of view) 

"I got a daa-aate, I got a daa-aate. woot woot. woot woot. I got a Daa-aate~" Frederica sang to themselves. How exiting, a date, with a girl they've been crushing on! He still remembered the day she asked her out like it was yesterday. well, because it was yesterday.
-------------------------------------

"Okay Fredster, you got this, you can do this." Birdy told herself. Today was the day he would ask her crush out. She got off the city bus and headed for Middleburg High School.
"Flowers? Check." This was a cinch. Everyone liked flowers and Violets were perfect for this occasion. They spotted their crush talking with friends.

"Lucky heart pin? Check." He made their way over and tapped Matilda on her shoulder to get her attention.

"Kazoo?" Birdy reached into their pocket. No kazoo..... No Kazoo! Their Never fail 3 step plan was a bust!

(Birdy's never fail ask someone out 3-step plan. Tested and guaranteed positive results by yours truly.

Step one: Present your flowers.

Step two: Romantic serenade with Kazoo.

Step three: Ask them out!")

It never failed when Birdy played her trusty kazoo, but now with no kazoo there was no way their plan could ever work! Birdy would have to....

...Wing it.

...Pun not intended!!

Oh dear, the thought made Birdy sweat nervously. Matilda turned to see who tapped her shoulder.

"Oh hey Freddy!" Matilda said. Birdy did not answer. They stood there with an unreadable expression on his face. "Hello? Frederica?" Matilda snapped her fingers in front of them. This snapped her out of it.

"OH WHAT?! ....Oh...uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" This was awful, the plan was not happening like it was supposed to. The fact that Matilda was with friends made it even more embarrassing.

"Freddy are you okay?" She asked. Birdy shoved the violets in her face.

"Heyyourreallyprettyandilikeyoualotgooutwithmemaybeyeah?" Freddy was shaking now, very nervous and uncoordinated. Matilda moved the Violet's From her face. Gently holding the fist that clutched the now wilting flowers.

"Wait, wait, wait, can you repeat that? But uh, maybe a little slower?" Matilda warily asked.

"Oh! Um, well....I was wondering if you would like to...um...Go out. Uhhh Movie... ME! Or something like that?" She let out a nervous giggle. "welp, I blew it, time to go home and crawl up in a ball and never speak to anyone or anything again"

"You mean...You wanna Take me on a.... a date?"

"I-...Yes." Birdy looked down at the ground. "You don't have to if you don't want to of course." Birdy didn't see the smile that broke out on Matilda's face.

"Yeah!" She exclaimed.

"Wait what?" Freddy looked up at her.

"It sounds fun, a date with you sounds awesome!"

"Really?" Birdy questioned hopefully.

"Of course!"

"Wow...this has to be the best moment in my entire life!!! ...Well, except for that moment Weenie ate a hot dog. Haha...Weenie eating a weenie, that's comedy gold right there." Frederica thought to herself. He didn't notice that Matilda took the flowers from their hand.
