Be My Valentine? (Mini Chapter)

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Did something go wrong at the date?", Fenton asked.

"Oh god, he was awful! I mean, he was nice at first but he kept trying to touch my feathers and he kept commenting on my beak and- UGH! He was just terrible!", she exclaimed.

"Wow, he sounds like a real creep.", Fenton commented, feeling a little bit of solace in the fact that the guy Liz went on a date with was a complete weirdo.

"Tell me about it. But how did your date go? How was Betsy?", Liz asked.

"Oh, um... she was alright... but we, um, didn't really have much chemistry.", he lied.

"Oh, that's a shame.", she said. She started looking deep into his eyes and then said, "Fenton, have you been crying?"

"What? No, of course not!", he awkwardly laughed.

Liz raised her eyebrow and said, "I think there's something you're not telling me, Fenton."

He sighed and said, "Okay, you're right. I didn't have a date tonight. There was this girl I really like and I was going to ask her out but she already had a date. I was so torn up because I really love her. She's just amazing. The most amazing girl I've ever met. The room gets brighter when she walks in and she makes people happier just by being around. She makes me happier by being around. I love everything about her. I knew that it's a longshot for someone like me to ask out someone like her but I cared about her too much to keep it in any longer. I love her more than anything else in the world. She is my world!"

Liz stared at him in awe before saying, "That is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard a guy say about a girl! She must really be something for you to fall that hard for her."

"She is.", he replied.

"But she's also, pardon my saying so but, gotta be pretty dumb not to realise how totally awesome you are!", she sighed and sat down on the chair next to him, "We both need someone like Gizmoduck in our lives."

Fenton blushed before saying, "I've actually met him. And he's seen you quite a few times and he remembers you!"

"Seriously?", she asked.

"Yeah," Fenton nodded, "He thought you were awesome."

"He thought I was awesome? Gizmoduck?", she asked.

"Definitely!", he told her.

"How?" Liz asked.

Fenton began, "Well...

He said
There's nothing like your smile
Sort of subtle and perfect and real
He said
You never knew how wonderful
That smile could make someone feel."

Liz was looking at him intently.

"And he knew
Whenever he sees you,
Everyone else around feels like ghosts
And he noticed
That you still fill out the quizzes
That they put in those Instagram posts."

Fenton stood up,

"But he kept it all inside his head
What he saw he left unsaid
And though he wanted to
He couldn't talk to you
He couldn't find the way
But he would always say,

If I could tell her
Tell her everything I see
If I could tell her
How she's everything to me
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could tell her"

Liz asked, "Did he say anything else?"

"About you?", Fenton asked.

"NevermindIdon'treallycareanyways-", Liz started rambling.

"No, no, no just, no, no he said, he said so many things, I'm just, I'm trying to remember the best ones," he laughed slightly, "So, um

He thought
You looked really pretty, er
It looked pretty cool when you put that purple flower in your hair"

Liz giggled and said, "He did?"

"Yeah, and he wondered how you learned to sing
Like all the rest of the world isn't there

But he kept it all inside his head
What he saw he left unsaidIf I could tell her
Tell her everything I see
If I could tell her

How she's everything to me"

Liz started harmonizing with him, "But we're a million worlds apart"

"And I don't know how I would even start

If I could tell her

If I could tell her
But what do you do when there's this great divide?"

Liz sang, "He just seemed so far out of reach"

"And what do you do when the distance is too wide?" Fenton sang.

"It's like I don't know anything."

"Then how do you say

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you!
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell her
If I could-"

He was cuz off by Liz kissing him on the cheek.

She said to him, "I know probably half that stuff was just you trying to make me feel better. But it worked. Happy Valentines Day, Fenton."

He felt his heart skip a beat and he watched her walk home. Happy Valentines Day indeed.
