"Mmph..hey, Luka."
"Yeah, Lyfa?"
"Did you hear about the Valentines Dance that's coming up?"
Two young Foxerflies sit underneath a tree as they chat, the breeze whistling in the wind.
"Yeah, I did. Why?" The flower-crowned Foxerfly puts her sketchbook down, looking at her
companion who fumbled with her bracelets. "Nothing..it just seems like a dumb idea..like,
I mean, ballroom dancing, pfft." Settling her paw down, she continues, "I'm planning on
skipping the dance, how about you, Luka?" The bracelet foxerfly turns her head to look at
her flower-crownded friend, who shrugs, "Well..I am part of the group who is planning the
whole thing and all..so it's a requirement that those participating have to go." Luka replies
as she puts her belongings back into her floral backpack, before getting up. "Let's go, Lyfa,
we might be late." Motioning for her friend to get up, Lyfa nods and picks up her own floral
backpack, which had been designed and given from Luka herself. With a smile, the pair sets
off, heading into the local high school.
❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
After their first class had ended, Luka and Lyfa split ways.
As Luka made her way to class, she heard a familiar voice call her name, and turned around.
Spotting another one of her friends, she smiled and waved, "Hi, Drew." Luka greeted once
he caught up, flashing a friendly grin that made Luka's heart skip a beat. "Yo! So..history?"
He asks, standing up straight as he fixes his bag. With a small nod, the pair continues their
way through the hallways, as Drew starts a small conversation. "So, you're also planning the
dance, right?" Drew asks as Luka shyly nods, "Yeah, why?" She asks, playing with her flower
crown. "Oh, I was just asking..what about your friend?" He asks, as Luka looks up, "Oh, Lyfa?
No..she isn't apart of the planning team..and she isn't going either.." Luka replies calmly, as
Drew nods, "Oh..I see..hey..after class, can we talk?" Luka blinks before nodding, smiling at
her childhood friend, "Yeah, sure!"
❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
Luka immediately head out as she waited by the door.
Playing with her flower-crown as she adjusted it here and there, she saw Drew come out and
flashed a smile as he approaches, "Hi!" She says a bit cheerily, as Drew smiles back, "Yo. So,
uh.." He trails off, scratching the back of his head, something he did whenever he forgot what
he was going to say. Luka giggles a bit and shakes her head slightly, "Sorry. Uh..the talk?" She
reminds him as Drew nods, "Yeah, right! So, after school, I was thinking that we should hang
out..uh..you, me, and Lyfa..if that's okay.." The boy smiles nervously as Luka nods. "Mm, sure!
I'll tell Lyfa. Where do we meet?" Luka asks as she walks alongside Drew, "Uh, school entrance."
He scratches his head again, causing Luka to giggle as Drew flashes a lop-sided smile.
❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
"So, Drew wants all of us to hang out together?" Lyfa asks.
With a nod from Luka, it's a bit quiet until Lyfa grins. "Ah, just like old times!" Lyfa's paw swings
outwards for emphasis, as Luka lets out a light laugh. "Yeah, I remember when we went camping
all together and.." As the pair continues to talk about their childhood memories together, they
soon reach the school entrance and find Drew waiting for them. With a smile from Luka and a
salute from Lyfa, Drew greets them with a thumbs up and nods, "Let's head over to the mall?"
He asks, as Lyfa nods and answers cheerily, "Yeah!" Luka smiles and nods, replying quietly, not
making eye-contact with Drew, "Okay."
❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
After hours of fun at the mall, the trio relaxes at the food court.
Busying herself, Luka sketches a design for the Valentines Dance as Drew taps the table to a soft
rhythm. A quiet sigh comes from Drew, Luka looks up and blinks, "Drew..what's wrong?" She asks,
sitting up straight, "What..oh..it's.." The foxerfly stutters as he sighs, looking at Luka with a frown.
"You can tell me..you know.." Luka smiles at Drew brightly, "Well..it's about Lyfa.." Drew starts, as
Luka nods, "Yeah..what about Lyfa?" She asks, looking over his shoulder to see her friend waiting
for their McDonald orders. "You see..well..ever since we were kids..I really..liked her.." Drew says,
scratching his head as he tries to think of the words, "And until today..I still do..so..I was planning
on asking her to the dance.." He pauses as he looks at Luka, who blinks a couple times. Clearing
her throat, the flower-crowned foxerfly nods, "Oh..I see.." She mumbles, then looks up at Drew
with a bright smile, "Then ask her out! It won't hurt, you know." Luka smiles reassuringly at her
friend, as Drew nods. "Yeah..I should..! Thanks, Luka," He gets up, and nods as he heads over to
Lyfa. Looking down, Luka sighs quietly, getting her belongings and quickly heading out.
❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
Sitting on the bench at the mall's fountain, Luka stares at it for a while.
Ask her out..huh..? She thinks of what Drew says earlier, looking down as she smiles to herself.
Then, a familiar voice yells as she looks up, recognizing Drew, "Luka!" He waves, approaching
her rather quickly. Blinking, Luka shakes her head and greets him quietly, "Hi Drew." She says,
as Drew lets out a loud exhale. "Oh gosh, don't run off without telling us were you went! You
worried me back there, and Lyfa is currently freaking out too." Taking a seat next to Luka, he
clears his throat, and asks, "What's wrong?" He asks, looking at Luka worriedly before speaking,
"Is this about..?" Luka immediately shakes her head and replies, "No..it's not about Lyfa and the
dance.." She pauses before taking a deep breath, "You know..when we first met in preschool, I
really liked you, too. But..I never really realized it until I started hanging out with you more..
I would tell myself that I'd tell you..but I'd always get nervous and all..so..I decided to wait
until I was a bit more confident with myself..so..I decided to tell you on the upcoming Valentine
Dance. But..when you told me that you planned on asking Lyfa out.." Luka pauses to think, just
as Drew was about to speak, she continues, "I wasn't really mad at you for not liking me..that's
okay. Sure, I was a bit sad but..I was happy. I mean..aren't friends supposed to be happy for one
another..? Well.that's just my opinion..but it's not like it's your fault or Lyfa's or mine..I don't want
to think negatively or feel any negative emotions because of something that didn't go my way..so.."
Luka scratched her head, letting out a nervous laugh, "To summarize it..I just wanna say that I'm
sure you two will make a good pair," Looking at a stunned and confused Drew, Luka winks as Drew
smiles, patting her head, "That's what I like about you..always understanding..never looking at
things in a bad way.." He grins as he lifts his paw up. Confused for a moment, Luka blinks before
lifting her own paw, bumping it with Drew's.

"I think..well..I guess we'll..
