~~Broken Strings~~

Start from the beginning
                                        

Both of your voices soaring with joyful singing. The music making both of you forget all about the outside world

Both of you locking eyes and smiles widening. Both of you in a spontaneous dance, your bodies moving and spinning in perfect synchronisation

Laughter even began to rise while you both were singing

Mirroring each others steps adding flair to their made-up choreography

The Barbaloot bears emerging from around the tent, joining in on the music as their bodies swayed

Humming Fish walking in, humming to the melody from afar

Swomme birds perched on the shelves and tables, flapping their wings in a form of dance

In that moment, it was no longer just you and Onceler being music partners, but now it was a full music party

You both continued doing this until you ended the song on a loud note

Both: I CAN'T GET NO...!! I CAN'T GET NO...!! I CAN'T GET NO...!! SATISFACTION!!~~

You both were breathing heavily from the dancing and singing

The animals cheered for the playful performance

Onceler looks to you with the biggest smile on his face

Onceler: Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones! W-Where did you learn to play that?

Y/N: I honestly don't know

Onceler: Well, either way, it was awesome!

You both laugh, and he takes back his guitar

Onceler: Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna get some rest!

Y/N: Yeah, you look like you need it

Onceler: And what's THAT supposed to mean?

Y/N: Nothing, nothing

You giggle as you walk to his front door

Onceler: Wait

You stop abruptly and turn around

Y/N: Yeah?

Onceler: Here

Onceler walks in front of you and he holds out his hand

You look to his palm to find a singular marshmallow

You eyes trail back up to Onceler before looking down at the marshmallow again

Y/N: What do you want me to do with it?

Onceler: Um, eat it?

Y/N: Okay?

Onceler: It's just that... the other forest creatures love it, so it thought maybe you would to. I know the first time I offered you one of these wasn't exactly-

Y/N: A good situation? Oh yeah, you murdered a tree

Onceler pulls a straight face as his brows lower

Onceler: You make it sound worse than it is

Y/N: Just saying

Onceler: The point is, I'm sorry, and, just try one of these, I promise you won't regret it

You look to him with a neutral expression before taking the marshmallow in your hand

You examine it by tilting it around a few times

You then brought it up to your nose, and like the pancakes, it also had a sweet scent

You wasted no more time as you throw the whole marshmallow in your mouth

Your eyes widen

The contents melting in your mouth

The sweetness flooding your tongue

The softness making it an absolute delight to chew

It was like heaven in your mouth

Onceler could see your astounded expression and tried to hide his smile behind his hand

Onceler: So?

Without warning, you grab onto Oncelers collar, looking him deep in his eyes

Y/N: More

Onceler: Huh?

You leaned in closer to his face, your expression stern

Oncelers face growing warmer by the proximity

Y/N: I... need... MORE!

Onceler: I, um... uh- um...

Onceler was practically tripping on how own words at how close your faces were

You didn't seem to realize what you were doing to him at that moment

But it became clear once you saw the state of his red face

Your face went pink as you backed off

There was an awkward silence for a few seconds

Then Onceler cleared his throat

Onceler: I uh... see you've found a new favourite treat. Don't worry, marshmallows are my favourite too. I have a secret stash

Your face lights up, forgetting all about the awkward situation

Y/N: REALLY!? WHERE!?

Onceler chuckles as he walks into his house

Onceler: Follow me, I'll show you
