Chapter Text
It was a few days after the Butt-witch and Big-deal tried to destroy Endless, and even though everything was cool
between the three friends now heck Reggie even spent her life savings and a couple extra chores on concert tickets for
her best friend and his girlfriend, Reggie knew there was one more thing she had to say to her friends if she was going
to be truly honest with them. "Esther, Toff It's Reggie, can you two come over here right away it's very important and Todd bring
Gwen" The two friends exchanged worried glances, "We'll be right there Reg". Reggie hung up the phone, her sweaty fingers nearly
causing it to slip and shatter on the cold tile floor, she had never been so nervous not even when she had her appendix out. Within
seconds, Todd, his girlfriend Gwen, and a very worried Esther were at the front door. "Oh hey guys comes on in", Reggie said in an
unusually small voice as she led them up the stairs the three friends couldn't help but notice how Reggie seemed to be visibly
trembling, Gwen being the defacto big sister of the group stepped up and put a comforting but steadying arm around Reggie's shoulder
whispering sweet things in her ear and a second later the shaking stopped, Reggie gave her a quick thank you hug and opened the door
to her room, Her friends wordlessly gathered on her bed as Reggie took the floor and prepared herself. "First of all, I'd like to thank you
all for coming so quickly I'm so lucky to have such loving and loyal friends". "Anytime Reggie, you know we love you", Esther prodded
gently part because she really meant it and part because she wanted to encourage Reggie in whatever she was going to say. That
brought the usual adorable smile to Reggie's lips but then almost in an instant it was gone as Reggie took a deep breath and prepared
to say what she had to. "I love you guys too so much and that's why I have to be honest with all of you, Y'all remember the middle
school dance where I tried to drag Todd and Esther out, I'm so sorry about that by the way Esther that was pretty selfish, but I did have
a reason. The three friend's noticed that Reggie continued to shake only considerably more now, "It's ok sweetie, just breathe and take
your time", Gwen advised softly. After a few deep breaths Reggie righted herself, "It's Conelly", Reggie finally blurted out falling on her
bed and burying her face in her pillow, the three friends all shared concerned but knowing smirks. "What about Conelly", Gwen
whispered just as softly as before, rubbing Reggie's back soothingly. S S She just makes me so nervous, Reggie croaked seemingly on
the verge of tears. "What are some things about her that make you nervous", Gwen asked gently while getting a tissue off the
nightstand so Reggie could blow her nose, when that was done Reggie started a list that seemed to go forever: her personality, her
caring voice, her hair, her laugh, how she's so- ok stop Gwen and Esther both said with a slight laugh. "Reggie, do you know what that
is", both girls asked the adorably embarrassed girl softly. Reggie slowly shook her head scared to say it herself, but Gwen gently
prodded her on ,"it's ok Reggie it's just us, we promise that you're completely safe". "We all love you Reggie" Esther added taking her
best friend's hand. Reggie, in a very low voice said, "a crush". "I'm sorry, what was that", Esther asked holding her hand to her ear. "I I
have a crush on Conelly", Reggie said a little louder but still loud enough for Gwen, "Common Reg we all know you have the voice of a
mountain lion when you want to. "I HAVE A CRUSH ON CONELLY OK, I THINK ABOUT HER 24/7 365, I DREAM ABOUT US DATING,
GETTING MARRIED, AND HAVING TWO ADORABLE LITTLE GIRLS NAMED MELODY AND JANE, I HAVE THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON
CONELLY, IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU", Reggie asked finally collapsing and crying in Gwen's arms. Reggie couldn't see it having
fallen asleep in Gwen's arms some time ago, but all of her friends had the biggest of smiles on their faces, their little Reggie was
growing up.
