Oona stood in the lab, finally finished building her new gadget, the creature-food-inator.

Ms O had told her to make the gadget to help Ocean out in the creature room.

Oona left the lab and began walking towards the creature room to give the gadget to Ocean. But as she was walking there, Oona subconsciously tried her best to make each step she took just a little slower than the one before, prolonging the walk to the creature room, as she nervously gripped the gadget in her hands.

The truth was, Oona was nervous because she was crushing on the creature dude.

She didn't know if he liked her back, but she figured that he probably didn't, so she tried to forget about her crush on him.

But that wasn't easy when Ms O kept coincidentally giving Oona tasks that required her to work with, or be around Ocean.

Oona hated how she always said stupid things around Ocean, and how she was constantly dropping things and being clumsy. She thought that these were obvious reasons for Ocean not to return her feelings.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Oona stopped in front of the creature room.

For a second, she considered just leaving the gadget on the floor in front of the doorway and running off.

But she decided against that idea since she figured that she should probably stay to actually explain to Ocean what the gadget was.

She walked slowly inside the creature room, seeing Ocean seated in his hammock.

"Howdy do, Ocean." Oona greeted him, already hating how she worded her greeting.

Ocean looked up at her. "What's up, dudette. What brings you here?" he said, smiling at her.

"Oh, uh, Ms O told me to make this gadget for you to help you out with feeding the creatures. It's called the creature-food-inator." Oona explained.

"Cool! How's it work?" Ocean questioned, standing up and walking closer to Oona.

"Ok, so let's say you need food for a specific creature, but you don't have any at the moment. All you have to do is turn this gadget on and click this button." Oona explained. She was blushing fiercely though, since Ocean had leaned a bit closer to her to get a good look at the buttons she was pointing to on the gadget.

"And it'll make any kind of creature food that you need." Oona added before zapping the gadget, creating a pile of odd creature food on the floor next to them.

"Whoa! That's totally awesome! Thanks, dudette." Ocean thanked her with his signature smile that made butterflies erupt in her stomach.

"No problem." Oona replied, blushing. She then went to hand him the gadget, but dropped it by mistake.

She winced at the clattering noise it made when it hit the ground.

Ugh, way to go, Oona. she thought to herself.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry!" she quickly apologized, bending down to pick up the gadget.

"No worries. It doesn't seem to be broken." Ocean replied casually, also bending down to pick the gadget up, causing his hand to touch Oona's hand by mistake.

Oona looked up at him in surprise for a second, then she quickly pulled her hand away and stood up.

"S-sorry." she stammered out.

"No need to apologize, Oona. It's fine." Ocean reacted, picking up the gadget and standing up. "Thanks again for the gadget." he added, smiling.

"Oh yeah, you're welcome." Oona awkwardly replied before speedily leaving the room, almost tripping as she ran out of there.

She sighed as she walked back to the lab.

Since she thought she had just made a complete fool of herself in front of Ocean, her plan was to try to avoid him as much as possible now.

And that's exactly what she did.

It was three days later, and Oona was in the lab, working on repairing gadgets. It was almost lunch time and her stomach was already growling.

So she decided to head to the break room for a snack. But on her way there, she saw Ocean.

Ignoring her hunger, Oona turned around and began speed-walking back to the lab, hoping desperately that he hadn't seen her.

She began walking faster, careful not to trip and make this whole thing more awkward.

She was almost at the lab, but then....

"Hey, Oona, wait up!" she heard Ocean call to her.

Oona sighed. So he did see her.

She stopped and hesitantly turned around to see Ocean running up to her.

"Oh, hey, Ocean. What do you need?" Oona said, trying to act as casually as possible.

"I- I just wanna know why you've been avoiding me...." Ocean replied, seeming just the slightest bit nervous, which was rare for him since he didn't usually get visibly nervous about things.

Oh, so he noticed. Oona thought.

"Avoiding you? What makes you think I'm avoiding you?" Oona said, trying to act as though she didn't know what Ocean meant.

Ocean just looked at her like he wasn't convinced.

Oona sighed "Ok, fine. I have been avoiding you. It's just.... I really like you, Ocean. And I keep doing stupid things and being all clumsy whenever I'm around you because I'm so nervous. And I'm pretty sure you don't like me back because.... why would you?...." she explained, looking down as she said the last part.

"Oona," Ocean said.

Oona reluctantly looked up to meet his gaze, mentally preparing for instant rejection.

"I do like you." Ocean admitted.

"Really? But why?" Oona couldn't help but ask in disbelief.

"Because, you're amazing. And I think you and all of your quirks are adorable." Ocean replied, blushing a bit.

Oona smiled slightly, a blush appearing on her cheeks "Really?"

"Really." Ocean said, smiling at her.

Oona let out a sigh of relief. "Ok then. I guess I can stop avoiding you now." she commented, earning a chuckle from Ocean.

"So, it's already lunchtime. Wanna go get pizza?" Ocean suggested.

Oona nodded eagerly "That'd be great!" she replied, grabbing Ocean's hand and darting for the tube lobby.

Oona was over the moon! She always thought that her crush on Ocean was one-sided. But it turned out that he liked her all along. And he liked her for her, and everything about her.
