(Y/N) Your Name. (L/N) Last Name.

You're an eighteen year old girl who had just graduated from high school in St. Canard not too long ago. You're still living with your parents for the time being. You live with your dad Charlie, your mom Brenda and your eleven year old little brother Travis. Your name is (Y/N) (L/N).

You're in your room right now and you've got your two best friends over. One's a chicken girl named Mackenzie Henderson. The other is a cat girl named Kiki Long. You're all sitting around, talking and laughing.

Mackenzie says, "But seriously (Y/N). You need a boyfriend." Kiki says, "Yeah. You're like, the prettiest friend of all of us. Why single?" You say, "I don't know. I just never really liked anyone in particular. Nobody from school interests me. You know?"

Kiki says, "Yeah, but still. I have a boyfriend. Mackenzie has a boyfriend. You need one too, girl." You hear a knock and you hear your brother Travis yelling, "Hey, (Y/N)! Mom wants you downstairs!"

You say, "Ugh. Go away, doofus! Tell her I'll be down in a bit!" He says, "But she said now!" You groan and you get up saying, "My brother. I swear. He can be annoying." Mackenzie says, "Ugh. I know, right?" Kiki says, "So annoying."

Mackenzie and Kiki follow you out of your room and you head downstairs. You get down there and you get to your mom. Your dad's at work at the moment. She says, "Honey. I've got something to ask." You say, "What is it, mom?"

She says, "A couple about five blocks away from here are going to a banquet. But they need someone to watch their boys for them while they're gone." You say, "And?" She says, "Well... I was wondering since you're not working, if you would be able to do it." You say, "Sure, okay."

She smiles and says, "Well, that was easy. Alright, good. I'll message Binkie and Herb and tell them they've got themselves a babysitter for tomorrow." You say, "That's cool. The girls and I are going to the diner. Don't wait up." She says, "Alright, honey. Don't be gone long." You, Mackenzie and Kiki head out of your house.

(Time skip.)

Moments later, you and your friends are at the diner. You're eating some burgers, fries, etc. You take a sip of your soda and you say, "I was so craving this." Kiki says, "You act like a pregnant woman." You all giggle.

Over in a booth across from you guys sits someone in a trench coat, has a hat on, gloves, etc. He's sitting there drinking a coffee. Not much of him is seen except for his face and his beak. He's a duck and he's green. He looks over after hearing laughter and talking.

He sees you and he gasps. He whispers, "Ooh... Who is that lovely girl?~" Right at your table, you're talking. Kiki suddenly peeks over and her smile fades as she sees a man in a trench coat kind of peeking over at them, then looking away.

She leans in and says, "Um, guys. There's a weird guy over at the booth across from us." You say, "Who?" She says, "Over there." You and Mackenzie look over and you see him. He's not looking over.

You say, "So? He's having a coffee." Kiki whispers, "Yeah, but something is off about him." Mackenzie sees him peeking over and she looks at you saying, "Kiki's got a point, girl. He's looking over at us." They look over and they say, "At you." You look over at this man. You see him smiling at you.

But suddenly Kiki looks over and says, "Hey, creep. Mind darting your eyes elsewhere but towards our friend?" His smile fades and he looks away. You say, "It's cool, guys. At least he's just... looking." Mackenzie grabs your hand and whispers, "It's just creepy. Stick with us, okay?" You just nod. You all eat.

(Time skip.)

Later on in the evening, you're walking down the sidewalk to the gas station from your house. Kiki and Mackenzie have gone home already, so it's just you. As you walk, there's someone standing behind a tree. It's the same man, but he's out of the trench coat. He smirks as he sees you and he walks out from behind the tree to follow you.

You hear this, "Hello there." You gasp and you turn around to see a male duck. Scratch that, a mutant plant duck. He's green, has leafy hands, pinkish foliage like hair, legs like a tree root or something, but in the form of a duck, leafs for a tail, etc.

You say, "Hey... Aren't you the same guy who was at the diner, earlier?" He says, "I'm surprised you didn't mention me being a plant." He smiles at you. You say, "Who are you, anyways?" He says, "I'm Reginald Bushroot. I saw you at the diner and I wanted to meet you. Know who you are. What's your name?" You say, "(Y/N) (L/N)." He says, "That's a nice name."

You say, "Thanks. Well... I'm gonna get to the gas station, then I'm gonna get home." He says, "I can walk you home when you come out." You say, "Well, I..." His smile fades and he looks somewhat sad.

He says, "Awe, gee. Do you see me the same way your friends see me? As a creep? Or some ugly mutant plant monster?" You say, "No no. I just... This is a unexpected is all. I never said you were ugly..." You look at him and you say, "Because you're not." He looks at you.

You say, "If you'd like, you can walk me home after I come out of the store." He smiles and says, "Ah, that's great. I'd like that." You realize it. He actually did not look too bad. He actually has some pretty gorgeous eyes. You say, "Well, Reggie. I'll be back." He says, "I'll wait right here for you."

You walk off and you get into the gas station. Bushroot waits. You come back out with a couple of bags of chips and a fountain soda in your hand. You walk over to Bushroot. He says, "Oh gosh. You want me to help you carry anything? I can take the chips." You say, "Sure. You can help." He grabs a couple of bags of chips while you carry your soda and a chocolate bar.

As you walk with him you say, "I'm getting my brother this chocolate bar so he'll leave me the hell alone." He smirks and says, "Ah, I see you've got a sassy side." You smile. He says, "What are you doing tomorrow?" You say, "Babysitting." He says, "For who?"

You say, "The Muddlefoots. They have two boys and I agreed to watch them. They can't be anymore of a pain than my brother. I found out their oldest is actually my brother's age." He says, "Want me there?"

You say, "I don't know, Reggie. I don't think the Muddlefoots want me having a guy with me while I babysit. I'll be labeled the bad babysitter." He smirks and says, "Being bad's not all that bad. If anything, maybe that's why you should have me over. Because they won't allow it." You smirk and you say, "You are so rad."

He says, "Wanna know something about me, (Y/N)? If you won't see me different that is." You say, "What is it? Are you a criminal?" He says, "Yes. One of the most wanted in St. Canard in fact. I'm a super villain." You say, "No. Fucking. Way." You smile and you say, "You know what? Yeah. I will break the rules. But wait until a few hours into the kids' parents being out, okay?"

He smiles and says, "Ah, that's great. Where is it?" You get your phone out and you say, "My mom gave me their address." You bring it upon your screen and you show him. He looks at you and he smirks saying, "I know where that street is." You say, "I mean it. Don't let the parents suspect. The kids, fine. I'll bribe them with something to keep them quiet about you." He grins and says, "You're amazing."

You get to your house and you say, "Well. I'm here. I should be out of my home soon, though. I'm eighteen and just graduated from high school." He says, "Well, that's good." You face him and you say, "Hey. I'll see you later, Reggie."

He looks at you and says, "Yeah. I'll see you, too." He holds his hand out. You take it. You say, "Damn, you've got a nice grip." He blushes and grins. You say, "That didn't come out right, did it?" He blushes even more. You giggle and he says, "My my. You've certainly got a clean mind, don't you."

You look at him and you smile saying, "Don't keep me waiting for you, plant man.~" He blushes at your tone. You say your goodbyes and you head inside your house, taking your bags of chips and stuff with you.

Bushroot walks off and he sighs and says, "My god. She's so beautiful. Oh, so damn lovely. I look forward to seeing her again tomorrow while she's babysitting. I've finally got a girl who sees pass the monstrous plant man that I am." He smiles and says, "I'm in love.~" He heads home.
