It was a typical 日 at the zoo again, just laying down on my bed, I had another dream about skipper..I can get him out of my head....but I don't know what to do! What should I do Leslie? "We'll Marlene, have 你 told him about your feelings towards him?" 说 Leslie.(Leslie was one of my best 老友记 at the zoo, we talk about everything together). " I've tried, but he ignores me like I'm nothing towards him" I said. We both continued to talk about how to make him like me, until Leslie thought of this crazy idea that might just work. "Why don't 你 just go out with one of his friends, that way you'll make him jealous and want you!" 说 Leslie with a happy voice. "That's...actually not a bad idea, but which one of his 老友记 do 你 think I should date?". We both sat there deciding which one is best suited for this job. Leslie 说 "we'll, we can't use private, because he's too young, and Kowalski is too smart, he would know what your doing". Which meant that I was left with Rico..perfect! Because Rico would never find out what I was doing! "Ok, all I have to do us make Rico fall for me, and then ask him out on a date, the 问题 is how to get his attention..". Well, I can't use blowing up stuff as my idea I thought, because I hate explosions. Leslie then 说 that I should try pulling him aside and just talk to him. "Ok...lets hope this works..." I 说 with a hopeful expression in my face. "I know it will trust me" 说 Leslie, she wished me luck and I took off to the penguins.

I had reached where they were and knocked on there bowl to see f they where home."who is it" 说 skipper. "It's me, Marlene, I wanted to know if I could come down and hang out with 你 guys for a little bit". Skipper 说 that would be fine and opened up the bowl to let me in. I had walked right into there 首页 to discover they were all doing something different, private was playing with his lunacorn doll, Kowalski was playing chess with skipper and Rico was watching tv. "Make yourself at home" 说 private with a happy expression on his face. I smiled at him and walked slowly over to Rico, he was watching a football game. "Hey Rico" I said, hopin this would work. "Hey Marlene" 说 Rico, then turned his head back to the football game. Alright Marlene, talk about the football game, that should work. "So Rico, 你 like football?". Rico nodded his head quickly and continued to watch football."we'll, I like it too, who is your 最喜爱的 team?" "The falcons" 说 Rico, pointing at the team."no way! I do too". Rico then turned his head back towards me and gave me a high five. We the started discussing to each other about football and the falcons and why they were Si much better then any other football team. Eventually, I asked Rico if we could talk privately outside, he looked confused and 说 a small "yea", then we left his house and was back above the surface. Alright here goes I 说 hoping that this plan will work." Rico, I like 你 a lot, I mean ALOT!, and I was wondering if 你 wanted to go out on a 日期 with me tonight at 8 at my place?" I 说 it as quickly as I could, hoping he would say yes. He stood there in silence looking at me like I was in a accident 或者 something, I could tell he was surprised."hey..Rico..it's ok...forget it, it was a stupid idea anyways, I'll see 你 later" and then I begin to leave, but before I could even move, Rico grabbed my arm and turned me around."of course I'll go out with you...I sorta..have had a crush on 你 for a while too" 说 Rico with a red blushes face."you 说 around 8 at your place?" 说 Rico. "Yea, I guess I'll meet 你 there then". Rico then went back inside his house and waved goodbye and was getting ready for tonight, I was shocked, this plans really going to work out, skippers going to be so jealous! And then I ran 首页 and got ready for the big date. Meanwhile, Rico was telling the guys about what happened"wow, congrats Rico!" 说 private with a cheerful smile."we'll, 你 better get ready then Rico" 说 skipper. "I'm actually excited, I thought she would never go for a guy like me, But she finally 说 yes, but what should I wear, what should I say" 说 Rico, freaking out. "Calm down Rico, just be yourself and you'll be fine", "ok, thanks guys" 说 Rico, and got ready for his 日期 tonight.
