When I was finished with my story, Dr D blinked once then burst out laughing,

“Whoa, Throttle! What have you got yourself into?” He asked. I sighed,

“To be honest, Dr D, I don’t know. I just don’t understand why Fun Ghoul’s being so jealous and Poison doesn’t like it…?” Dr D sighed,

“You’re one innocent girl, ain’t you?” He asked, grinning. I blinked stupidly,

“I-I am?” I asked with a question mark shining above my head.

“Yes, you are. You don’t understand why they’re being so jealous, do you?” He asked,

“No, I don’t.” I replied easily, frowning slightly, “Do you care to enlighten me?” Dr D chuckled,

“I do. Well, right… the reason Fun Ghoul is being mean and jealous to Poison is because he likes you.”

“No, he’s- wait. What?!” I cried, blushing and cringing, “No way!?” Dr D grinned,

“Yes way.” He retorted, “And I think the reason Poison’s angry at you is because he’s angry at Ghoul because Ghoul’s hitting on you and Poison likes you.”

“Arg.” I simply said, confused and utterly overwhelmed, “No way. This can’t be happening. The only men I feel like I can talk to and are my new friends – and you tell me they ‘like’ me?! This can’t be happening, as if I don’t have enough on my plate as it is!” I cried, throwing my hands up in frustration. Dr D placed a comforting arm on my shoulder,

“I know. But I do give good advice, yeah?” I ignored him and instead asked,

“How do I make up friends with Poison?”

“Talk to him.” Dr D replied simply, looking up at me seriously.

I nodded once and quietly said thank you.

As I walked out the door I called back,

“You don’t give good advice. You give the best advice.”
