Circus Roses

Chapter Two: Game Night

Doc has been working at the Circus for a little over a year now. Every time G0Z is around Doc's heart flutters, but he doesn't know why. G0Z is nothing more than a friend... right? 

Doc is just wrapping up his shift when G0Z walks up to him. "Heya Doccy!" G0Z says happily.

"O-Oh! Hi G0Z" Doc says smiling up at the clown. 

"The Circus Crew and I are heading out to have a game night! Wanna come?" G0Z asks.

G0Z wants ME to go too? Docs heart rate increases and he feels his face heating up. Why am I acting this way? G0Z is just a friend... yeah.. just a friend nothing more. Doc thought to himself. Doc stutters "U-Uh... s-sure G0Z!" 

G0Z gets a big grin on his face "Great! Come on! Let's go!" G0Z grabs Docs hand and pulls him along. O-OMG G0Z is h-holding my h-h-hand! Doc thought to himself and his face turns as red as a tomato. Doc is too flustered to say anything about it and just lets G0Z continue holding his hand. 

G0Z and Doc meet up with the rest of the Circus Crew. "Awwwwww" says Z00ZY.

Both Doc and G0Z look at him in confusion. Z00ZY then points down to their hands. G0Z quickly pulls away and his face turns a light shade of pink. He brings his hand to the back of his neck and lets out a nervous giggle. 

"Ahem," G0Z clears his throat, "Lets get on with this game night!" 

YUKC0 sighs and Caroline & Clinten both jump with excitement, "We haven't had a game night in sooooo long!" Caroline says.

Doc stands and looks at everyone before asking "Um.. What are we doing for game night?" 

YUKC0 is the first to respond "Dunno, don't care. Who even invited this idiot doctor anyway?" 

"Hey!" G0Z says, "That's really sweet of you YUKC0 and Doccy we are going to... uhhh..." G0Z turns to the Circus members, "any ideas?" 

"Yeah!" Z00ZY shouts, "We should play truth or dare" Z00ZY winks after saying that. 

G0Z chuckles, "Alrighty! Looks like we are going to play truth or dare!" 

YUKC0 takes a sip of his YUKC0 Juice, "Imma need more of this if I'm going to survive around you idiots." 

Doc smiles nervously and glances around. I shouldn't have come.. I'm so out of place with these guys! G0Z must have noticed Docs anxiousness because he says "It's alright Doccy! No need to be so nervous sweety!" 

Doc smiles and nods "O-okay"

"Alright gang! Lets all sit in a circle and play!" G0Z says cheerfully. 

Everyone sits down, Doc ends up next to YUKC0 and Caroline. Man, why'd I get stuck next to YUKC0 Doc thought to himself. 

G0Z starts off the game, "Hmmm... Z00ZY! Truth or Dare?" 

"Dare" Z00ZY says almost immediately. 

"Oh Okay! I dare you to.... uh... hug Kermo!" G0Z says smiling.

"Wait-" Kermo trys to say something but Z00ZY is on him before he can finish, "Gah!" 

Everyone, except YUKC0, laughs. 

The game goes on for around an hour, everyone shares some laughs when there is a knock on the door. Everyone's heads turn toward the door. Doc looks over at G0Z "Are you expecting anybody?" 

"No.. I don't think so," G0Z answers, "but it's rude to keep a guest waiting!" G0Z gets up, walks over to the door and opens it. 

"Who is it?" Caroline calls out to G0Z.

G0Z doesn't respond but instead walks in with... Albert? "Everyone Albert is here!" G0Z says and his smile seems.. bigger than before. 

Everyone ends up greeting Albert but Doc has a weird feeling in his stomach. Who is this Albert and why is G0Z so happy around him?
