Finn grabbed my arm. "Marlene, あなた can't be serious." he whispered.

"Oh, あなた bet I am serious." I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrow.

"You can't be together." Finn said.

"Give me two reasons why." I frowned.

"One. You're a mammal and he's a bird," Finn paused. "Two. Skipper looks like one of those 動物 who'll just break your heart."

"Well, is that bad? What if he isn't one of those guys? What? Are あなた a racist against Skipper now? I thought あなた guys were friends?" I snapped.

"It's not bad and I hope he's not one of those guys and no he's not a racist and yes we are friends." Finn reacted as if I never snapped at him.

"What? Is it gonna change something in Science?" I asked.

"Ba-ha!!" Kowalski's voice made us jump. I guess Science can only recover his unconsciousness. "Actually Marlene, there is a 99.99999999 percent where it can change Science." he pulled out his chalkboard. "If あなた and Skipper mate, the result might be... this." Kowalski drew a.. thing that may be a sasquatch only with a beak.

"What's that?" I leaned closer at the drawing.

"That's your future baby." Kowalski 発言しました with a straight face.

"Wait... what?!" I exclaimed.

"Surprising isn't it? あなた see your DNAs were morphed together causing it to combine and create this." Kowalski pointed at the abomination.

"Whoa, whoa. Slow down a bit." Finn 発言しました confused.

"Ugh... what does it take to educate lower life forms?!" Kowalski hid his face in shame.

"You mean, my Marlene and his Skipper will create.... THAT?!" Finn exclaimed the same way I did.

"Yes. Can't あなた see the whiskers and beak? I thought it gave あなた a clue?" Kowalski took a quick glance at his drawing.

"Well, no. It looked like a sasquatch または the abominable snowman..." Finn scratched his head. Cool, so I'm not the only one who thinks that it looks like a sasquatch? Awesome. Just awesome.

"Terribly sorry. I never excelled in the master of arts." Kowalski hid his face in shame again.

"It's okay. I never excelled the master of arts too..." Finn patted his back.

"Yeah, he never did..." I whispered. Well, yeah it is true that he sucks at art... Everything that falls in the category of arts. He was the "Mechano & Math whiz dad". Mechano because he was so in to mechanical stuff and gadgets and math whiz because he was so engrossed in his Math. If あなた see his room, it's filled with posters that have Einstein's relativity and scribbles... Bah... I guess あなた learn a lot when you're old. Umm.. no offense, Dad.

"Anyways, about the subject," Finn faced me. "Now, I want あなた to be careful, Marlene. Safety first." Finn sounded uncomfortable.

"Umm... Dad if あなた don't wanna talk about this, it's okay. Mom beat あなた to it nine years ago." I managed a smile.

"Well, okay... I'm just saying that..." Finn's voice trailed off.

"Dad... I know you're very uncomfortable so I'll say it." I paused and took a deep breath.

"Huh?" Finn 発言しました confusingly.

"Dad, I'm a virgin." I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. All of them were eye-wide at the thought that I was still a virgin. So what if I haven't ロスト my virginity? It's either I'm waiting for that special someone または that I'm very cautious of my body... Oh well...

"Well, since that's cleared up, why don't あなた go off with your date..." Finn grinned.

"Loose the grin, dad. I know Julien told あなた that it was our month-sary." I grinned too.

"Okay fine he did. Now go along. I don't want your 日付 to be delayed just because of my daughter's virginity."

"Dad..." I 発言しました annoyed.

"I'm, just sayin'" Finn raised his hands in surrender.



"Nice topic あなた had..." Skipper chuckled. "Safety first."

"Cut it." I giggled and played along with Skipper as we climbed our way to the 上, ページのトップへ of the zoo clock.

"So when are あなた telling him the truth?" Skipper 発言しました as we sat down.

"Huh? Oh yeah... the truth." I sighed and grinned at Skipper. "He'll never know."

Skipper chuckled lightly "You do know honesty is the best policy." Skipper 発言しました as the sun's Colors（色） touched his feathers.

"Yeah, but I just couldn't hurt Finn that way If he wants me to have a boyfriend, so be it. I'll find one." I let out a deep sigh.

It was suddenly quiet. The cold sunset wind carefully brushed my 毛皮 and Skipper's feathers. The leaves were rustling as the wind came in. The オレンジ sun was perfectly perched in front of the two 動物 as it was getting ready to set.

"Beautiful isn't it?" I rested my head on Skipper's shoulder.

I felt Skipper flinch and his ハート, 心 race. "Yeah, It is beautiful. Beautiful like you..."

"What?!" my eyes widened and my ハート, 心 raced as Skipper's last words rung inside my head.

"Look, I should tell あなた something." Skipper's voice was shaking.

"What is it?" I said, avoiding eye contact with Skipper. Uh... I really don't like where this is going. The awkward silence... the weird mood... He's going to tell Finn the truth!

"Marlene..." Skipper gulped. " I 愛 you..."
