“Okay, Tangle, this needs to be perfect,” Tangle said as she laid out a blanket on the grass on a hill with a perfect view of the sunset. Everything was going to be perfect when Tangle would ask Whisper to be her girlfriend.
“I mean this shouldn’t be too hard. You have done wayyy scarier stuff, like fight Neo Metal Sonic, turn into a Zombot, beat up Mimic, and yet this feels way more scary.” Tangle sighs trying to get her heart beating under control as she sets up the last parts waiting for Whisper to arrive.
“Tangle?”
“Whisper!”
Tangle yelled in response, jumping up and running over before leaping into a hug almost knocking the two over.
“H-hi Tangle," Whisper replied, regaining her balance and embracing Tangle back. At this point, Whisper was used to Tangle’s sporadic behavior, so she had just gotten used to being tackled with love. “O.M.G! Whisper you look so cute!” Tangle said jumping up and down.
“Do you think so? Thanks, I wanted to look kind of nice because I know you said this was important to you,” Whisper said, a slight blush spreading across her face as she did a small semi-twirl in her white, knee length, puffy sleeve, sun dress. “It's perfect for tonight! Now commeee overrr heree loookieee lookkieee!”
Tangle smiled as she dragged Whisper over. “I made us a wonderful picnic with a view of the sunset with a lake,” Tangle said with a joking tone, taking Whisper’s hand to help her sit before Tangle sat down herself. “Tangle, this is really nice and beautiful, you really out did yourself,” Whisper said with a soft smile
“Awwwiee thanks, Whispy! I had something I wanted to ask you though,” Tangle said looking up slightly, making sure she had Whisper’s attention. When she did, she took a deep breath and began once more, “Whisper, I wanted to ask if—“ “—Hold that thought, Tangle,” Whisper said, putting a finger to Tangle mouth.
“Something isn’t right,” She said pulling out her Variable Wispon going into fight mode moving slowly and deliberately.
“Where were you keeping that and also what are you talking about?!” Tangle exclaimed in confusion as she watched Whisper sending a shot, as she watched she saw it hit a Badnik that had been hiding.
“Dang, you're good. Anyway, what I wanted to ask you was—" She was interrupted once more by Whisper saying, “One second, hun,” before more Badniks started to show up.
At this point, an hour had passed of Tangle trying to ask, only to be interrupted over and over again by swarms of Badniks.
Tangle flopped over on the grass sighing loudly, her tail taking out any Badniks that got too close. Tangle's eyes slowly started to grow heavy and warm as she slowly closed them, falling into a deep slumber.
When Tangle woke, her eyes opened to a beautiful Whisper and a dark blue sky with stars twinkling. “Oh, you’re awake,” Whisper said with a calm smile, her fingers gliding through Tangle’s fur.
“Aaagghh!” Tangles scream sitting up almost hitting heads with Whisper.
“How long have I been asleep?”
“About 2 hours.”
“What? Really? Aaagggh! Darn it!” Tangle screamed, her head falling into her hands as she shook her head.
“Tangle, what's wrong? This isn’t usual for you,” Whisper said, moving closer, a hand rubbing Tangle’s back, the other hand offering to be held. “Tell me what’s on your mind and what's wrong.”
Tangle took a breath, taking Whisper’s hand. “I wanted it to be perfect and really romantic but I guess that won’t be happening thanks to these stupid badniks… Whisper, what I wanted to ask you earlier was if you would be my girlfriend. I really like you and think you’re super pretty and you have the cutest smile and you’re super smart too—“ As Tangle was about to continue before she started to hear Whisper giggling.
“You don’t feel the same, do you?” Tangle asked, lowering her head slightly.
“W—what? No I do! I do!” Whisper exclaimed, “It’s just funny to me because I thought we already were dating.”
Tangle’s face went pale “W—what? How did I not know this…?”
“Ehehe, I thought you knew. I mean, I call
You “hun” and ask if you want to go out, I bring your roses, we go to nice dinners, and such I even kissed you on the check before, Tangle,” Whisper said with a slight giggle, getting a good laugh out of it.
Tangle sits there, trying to do the math in her head, realizing Whisper was right. They have been for almost four months.
“Oh my god, how am I this stupid? Agggh!” Tangle yelled, flopping down on the grass.
“Well I feel silly,” she continued, her hand hitting her face, Whisper laid down next to her.
“It’s okay, I think you're pretty cute,” Whisper said, pulling on Tangle’s cheek slightly.
“Ehehe, Whispperrr!“ Tangle giggled, pushing her hand away. “So is that a yes though?”
“Hmmm, let me think…” Whisper said, her finger tapping her chin.
“Does this answer your question?” Whisper asks pulling Tangle towards her, giving her a kiss. Tangle laid there, stunned, her face flushing a deep red.
“Y—yeah, it does!” Tangle stumbled out.
“Good,” Whisper replied as she snuggled up to Tangle, both of them falling asleep slowly.
