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

"Oh, आप 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 जानवर who'll just break your heart."

"Well, is that bad? What if he isn't one of those guys? What? Are आप a racist against Skipper now? I thought आप 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 आप 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 कहा with a straight face.

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

"Surprising isn't it? आप 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 कहा 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 आप see the whiskers and beak? I thought it gave आप a clue?" Kowalski took a quick glance at his drawing.

"Well, no. It looked like a sasquatch या 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 आप see his room, it's filled with posters that have Einstein's relativity and scribbles... Bah... I guess आप learn a lot when you're old. Umm.. no offense, Dad.

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

"Umm... Dad if आप don't wanna talk about this, it's okay. Mom beat आप 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 कहा 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 लॉस्ट my virginity? It's either I'm waiting for that special someone या that I'm very cautious of my body... Oh well...

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

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

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

"Dad..." I कहा annoyed.

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



"Nice topic आप had..." Skipper chuckled. "Safety first."

"Cut it." I giggled and played along with Skipper as we climbed our way to the चोटी, शीर्ष of the zoo clock.

"So when are आप telling him the truth?" Skipper कहा 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 कहा as the sun's रंग 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 फर and Skipper's feathers. The leaves were rustling as the wind came in. The नारंगी, ऑरेंज sun was perfectly perched in front of the two जानवर 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 दिल race. "Yeah, It is beautiful. Beautiful like you..."

"What?!" my eyes widened and my दिल raced as Skipper's last words rung inside my head.

"Look, I should tell आप 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 प्यार you..."
