Dilemma (P.O.M Story)

Getting Together

Rose's pov:

I come back to the base, after my daily walk in the park, to find Claire stood there waiting for me "what's wrong?" I ask, well she does look slightly scared... or worried "I have a problem..." she says to me "what is it?" I ask... I don't think she's going to tell me, she barely tells me anything, like when she became a scientist she didn't tell me until 3 weeks later. "I can't say here" she said grabbing my flipper and taking me up top, "what's wrong?" I said to her when we were there. "I think I love Kowalski..." she said with her head down "that's great!" I said "but... he might not love me... like they have secret agent things to get on with..." she said frowning "Claire we're a part of it now... you have nothing to worry about, we are here to protect each other, remember what Skipper says?" I ask "never swim alone" we both said at the same time "yeah... I guess... but he still might not like me..." she said "well... you don't know until you try" I said smiling at her going back into the base, I walked into Kowalski's lab "Rose... what did I tell you about walking into my lab without knocking..." Kowalski said sighing "sorry, I just gotta ask you a question" I said "what is it?" he replied "do you love or at least like Claire?" I asked smiling "uh... no... I'm... uh..." Kowalski stuttered "okay thank you" I said leaving the room.

Claire's pov:

"Claire!" Rose shouted for her "what?!, did someone get hurt?!" I called back "No, come here" she shouted again, I came to the main room thankfully no one was there, "Kowalski loves you!" she said smiling "no he doesn't you're making it up" I said frowning "I'm not messing around here, I'm telling the truth, listen" Rose said taking out my phone, she had her and kowalski's conversation "oh... my... goodness..." I said, I didn't know what to think... "no... I'm going to" I said plucking up the courage. I knocked on the door to Kowalski's lab "Come in" he said turning around "I want to ask you something" I said smiling slightly "what is it?" he asked he smirked "will you go out with me?" we both said at the same time, we stood there smiling for a moment and I went over and hugged him "yes" I replied smiling.

Skipper's pov: Now with Hans and Blowhole out the way I can focus on... uh... other missions. oh who am I kidding... I love her.... but I don't know if she loves me... all of this was going through my head when she came up to me "Skipper? are you okay?" Rose asked shaking me gently "yeah, I'm fine..." I said smiling "It's just that you was stood there for quite some time... just staring into space" she replied smiling at me "oh.. I always do that, don't worry about it" I said awkwardly "as long as you're okay. It's fine" she smiled walking away "Rose..." I stopped her "yeah?" she replied "I have a confession" I said looking down slightly "what is it?" she asked looking concerned "Rose... I love you... will you go out with me?" I asked feeling awkward "yes, Skipper, I will" she smiled.
