“Hey fag-” Melania stuffed her hand into the mouth of Ms. Acey. Her face looked down in terror as she processed what Ms. Acey just said.
“Ms. Acey! What did you just say?!” Melania shouted in surprise. Bkornblume arrived in confusion at the duo. She didn’t seem to catch, or really care about what Ms. Acey said.
“What? Medicine Pocket has told me that this word is used to describe you and Bkornblume.” Ms. Acey retorted back and bit the hand that Melania stuffed into her mouth. Melania quickly pulled it back from the sting.
“What are you guys talking about?” Bkornblume interrupted, her smile widening at their bickering. Melania quickly waved it off and interlocked her hand with Bkornblume to whisk her off to the aquarium before she could ask further.

“Did you know that penguins show homosexual behavior?” Melania rambled on, she had spent a lot of time searching for fun animal facts for today’s date.
“How queerious.” Ms. Acey suddenly said. There was a moment of silence before Bkornblume suddenly burst out of laughter and Melania soon followed. Ms. Acey voiced her confusion at the two arcanists.
Bkornblume leaned on Melania, still laughing while Melania tried to compose herself to explain to Ms. Acey. However she couldn’t stop herself and both of them burst into another round of laughter. Ms. Acey got annoyed at their antics and bit Melania’s hand who finally stopped laughing from the pain.

The night was ending. The date was fun and Ms. Acey’s sudden vocabulary change certainly lightened up their date a lot. Melania should leave Ms. Acey with Medicine Pocket more.
They were walking back now, the moon accompanying the two lovers (and Ms. Acey) on their walk back. They walked hand in hand with a smile on their face, exchanging sweet whispers between each other.
Melania decided to walk Bkornblume home. Her house was further and Melania would need to climb up through the window of her dorm room anyway. That would be rather humiliating for Bkornblume to witness. Curse her stupid curfew.
They arrived at the front door and both were reluctant to say goodbye. Melania shifted the weight between her feet. She wanted to ask for a kiss, but she was too anxious to do so.
Bkornblume stared at her lips then back up to Melania’s eyes. She stepped closer to Melania. Thank you, beloved Bkornblume, Melania was about to give herself an attack before she could even ask. Thankfully, Bkornblume initiated first.
In the corner of her eyes, Melania could see Ms. Acey opening her mouth again so to prevent anything unfortunate, she clasped the zipper of Ms. Acey shut. Ms. Acey tried to fight against it, but all she could do was shake herself around.
Bkornblume leaned in and gave a peck to Melania who instantly flushed from head to toes. “Goodnight, Melania. Thank you for the wonderful date.” She walked up the steps, her steps light and turned back to wave to Melania who was waving dumbly back at her. The door was shut tight and Melania could breathe again.
Her hand that was holding onto Ms. Acey suddenly lost all strength and Melania collapsed onto the steps. Ms. Acey finally got her ability to speak back and instantly berated Melania who was too awestruck by what happened to care.
Getting scolded by Ms. Acey was so worth it.
