Tulip: *comes back* *hands Junior the jet pack hoping maybe they would be able to talk*

Junior: *grabs jet pack with an awkward smile* Thanks! *turns around to leave*

Tulip: WAIT!

Junior: *turns around with an awkward face*

Tulip: Please.... don't go.... *looks at him with pleading eyes*

Junior: *sigh* I.... I have work to do....*looks down hoping she will let him go*

Tulip: Junior... please... I.....I really need to talk to you...

Junior: *sigh* .......

Tulip: Please....

Junior: fine.... but... it needs to be quick....

Tulip: ok......well.... first of all.... you don't look to happy... are you alright...?

Junior: I'm fine. *nervous smile*

Tulip: Junior....

Junior: agh...fine.... *looks down*

Tulip: what is it...?

Junior: uh.... well.... *doesn't want to tell her his feelings for her so he tries to come up with something else* um.... well... I guess.... I sorta.... m-miss my parents....

Tulip: *concerned* Oh. What happened to them?

Junior: Well... I'm not quite sure but... they died when I was 5....

Tulip: oh my gosh that's horrible!!

Junior: Y-yea... *looks down sadly*

Tulip: Thank you for telling me.

Junior: N-no problem...

Tulip: Do you want to talk about it...?

Junior: uh... w-well...

Tulip: I promise I won't think you're weird or "sappy". I just want to help you feel better.

Junior: *looks away trying to hold in his blush* u-uh... well... I guess... that would be nice....

Tulip: *smiles* Yay! *moves out of the way of the door* You can come in and sit if you'd like!

Junior: Ok. Thanks. *walks in and sits down awkwardly*

Tulip: *smiles at him* Ok, tell me everything and anything! *puts elbows on her knees and her hands on her chin*

Junior: *smiles at her awkwardly blushing* O-ok uh... well... my parents were.. the best employees of the baby delivery department... and so...I've always tried to be like them... to...make them proud...

Tulip: Aw, that's so sweet!

Junior: *blushes more* A-and... I guess...why I always hide my feelings is because... when they...passed away, everyone looked down on me for being sad about it.... and...In order for me to become like my parents.. I needed them to like me.... so... I hid my feelings... and I got so used to doing it... that I did it all the time...

Tulip: aw... that's awful... no one should be made fun of for having feelings! You can tell me anything, anytime! I'm always here. *smiles sweetly at him*

Junior: *blushes even more*

Tulip: *surprised* A-are you... blushing...?

Junior: W-WHAT? N-NO! *starts sweating*

Tulip: Aw, Junior. *hugs him*

Junior: *stunned by the hug* *slowly smiles and hugs back*

Tulip: *smiles and hugs a little tighter*

Junior: T-thanks...for...letting me talk to you...

Tulip: My pleasure. *stops hugging and smiles at him*

Junior: *smiles back at her*

Tulip: *looks away nervously* uh... can...can I tell you something...

Junior: Sure, anything.

Tulip: um.... I.....I think I.... that I'm.....in l-love... w-with you.... *looks away with eyes closed*

Junior: *shocked* W-wha-Really?

Tulip: I know it's weird, cuz your a stork and I'm a human but-

Junior: N-no, I..... I.....I l-love you t-too.... *looks down blushing*

Tulip: *looks at him surprised* W-what...? You... You do??

Junior: Y-yea... *looks down then back at her*

Tulip: *starts tearing up* *hugs him again*

Junior: *hugs her back smiling*
