Ralph gasped, his eyes practically lighting up. Before him, he saw a huge field with so many types of plants. Ralph looked up at Jerry, receiving a playful smile before turning back to the field and running into it.

Everyone followed, Some of them sitting in the gazebo and the others playing in the field. Ralph kept pulling Jerry over to the different types of plants, telling him what they were.

Ralph was showing Jerry a flower when he felt something being put on his head. He turned around to see Connor, sheepishly smiling. "I made a flower crown for you, because, well...i just think you'd like one. And because i enjoy making them." Connor's smile brightened.

Ralph smiled. "Thank you Connor! Ralph likes it very much." Ralph hadn't exactly seen the flower crown, but he was sure it was beautiful. Connor nodded his head before running to a flower covered Gavin.

"Hey Ralph?" Jerry asked, turning Ralph around to look at him.

"Y-Yes?" Ralph asked, looking into Jerry's eyes.

"Well uh..." Jerry started leaning in closer, both of them hearing a faint squeal from Kara and Simon.

Jerry's lips neared Ralphs and so many thoughts ran through Ralph's head. 'What? Is he going to kiss me?' 'We've only been together for less than 20 minutes!' 'He cant kiss me now. Though, Ralph wouldn't mind it...' 'But, he cant kiss me yet right? I mean, we did kiss last night but-'

"Tag!" Jerry chuckled, tagging Ralph's shoulder before running away.

Ralph snapped back to reality, shaking his head and laughing sheepishly. He then looked for Jerry and started to run towards him.

They played tag for a bit, North and Luther joining in. Then the four of them went over to the gazebo and talked with everyone else.

"Hey guys, its getting late, we should head back so you all can get your stuff and get ready for school Tommorow." Kara said, standing up and walking to the trail.

Gavin groaned, and everyone followed her on a long walk back to the car, but an even longer, it seemed, back to her house

•••

"Thank you so much for letting Ralph stay at your house." Ralph said, hugging Kara.

Kara hugged back and smiled, "Of course Ralph. You're welcome here anytime."

Ralph smiled happily, saying good bye to everyone else and got into Jerry's car. Jerry drove Ralph to his house, stopping in front of it.

"I had such a wonderful time with you Ralph, and I can't wait to see where our relationship goes." Jerry said, blushing lightly.

Ralph nodded. "Neither can Ralph."

"Well, this is the part where we say bye, but how do couples say goodbye?" Jerry asked, still blushing.

"Ralph has no idea." He chuckled.

"Well uh, how about this?" Jerry asked, picking up Ralph's hand and kissing his fingers.

Ralph blushed and then smiled. "Ralph likes that very much. Bye Jerry Berry." He said once Jerry let go of his hand. He walked out of the car, hearing a faint "i love you!" As the door shut.

Ralph turned around and made his fingers into a heart, before turning back around and walking into the house. He walked up to his room, and set his things down, going to take a shower.

He got out of the shower, putting on comfy clothes, setting out another pair of clothes for school tomorrow. He picked up his phone, seeing that Kara arranged a waterpark trip for all of them.

He smiled, getting a text from Jerry about taking him to Kara's. Which Ralph said an immediate yes to.

Jerry Berry: So ill pick you up on Friday around 11:30 am?

R: Yeah.

Jerry Berry: Cant wait<3

Ralph set down his phone, thinking about life for a bit before he thought about getting new plants. It'd be a bit boring without someone else, so Ralph decided to invite Jerry, so that he could spend time with his new lover.

R: Hey Jerry?

Jerry Berry: Yeah?

R: Do you want to go plant shopping with me after school on Monday? You dont have to of course

Jerry Berry: Id absolutely love that! I love seeing you get all dorky over plants. Its so cute. And plus, i get to spend time with you.

R: Awwwwwwww

Jerry Berry: <3. Do you want to go back to my house so we can do homework and whatnot then take my car and go?

Ralph blushed.

R: Yeah. Thank you Jerry! I can hardly wait!

Jerry Berry: For the plant shopping or Waterpark?

R: Both.

Ralph then checked the time, seeing it was pretty late.

Jerry Berry: Sorry to keep bugging you butttttt

R: Youre not bugging me Jerry.

Jerry Berry: Whatever you say XD. Do you want to start riding to school together? We could take my car.

R: Yeah! Id love that so much.

Jerry Berry: Okay, ill be there to get you at?

R: 6:50 works.

Jerry Berry: Okay!

R: Yeah. Night Jerry.❤️

Jerry Berry: Night Ralph<3

Ralph turned off his phone before saying goodnight to everyone in the"Jericho" group chat, then rolled over and went to bed.
