THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!

-

Lauren walked up to Lucy, her hands in her jacket pocket. Her fingers were tapping against the material of her jacket as she tried to calm her nerves.

"Hey Lo," Lucy said, grinning.

"Hallo," Lauren responded, giving a shy smile in return. "You, uh, you look nice."

"So do you."

Lauren nodded. "D-do you, um, Camila, she, uh, you make me happy. I-I like being around you, an-and I-I like, I-I-"

"Go out with me," Lucy interrupted, a grin on her face.

"Wh-what?"

"I want you to go on a date with me Lauren. I want to be with you," Lucy told her, reaching for the other girl's hand.

A small smile appeared on Lauren's face. "Really? You l-like me?"

"I always did. I never said anything because I was waiting for you to show a sign that you liked me back."

Lauren nodded her head, hugging Lucy. "I-I like you."

"I know Lo, I know."

Normani looked at the outfit. "That's perfect. You look perfect."

"She's gonna l-like it?" Lauren asked, looking at her own reflection.

"She'll like whatever you wear. She's wanted to go out with you for the longest time."

"I l-li-like her, a lot Manibear."

"I know Boo Boo Bear. If I had to chose who you went out with, it would be Lucy."

"I-I'm ex-excited," Lauren told her eldest sister.

Normani stood up and grabbed Lauren's hand, taking her to the living room where DInah, Ally, Camila and the pets were waiting.

"You look beautiful," Ally told the young girl.

Lauren blushed as she crouched down to pet Charlie (Cameron and Koda were curled up next to him, as he was the biggest of the three).

"T-thank you," Lauren whispered, shyly.

"So when do we give Lucy the talk?" Camila asked, pointing to herself and Dinah.

"N-never," Lauren answered, shaking her head.

"Yeah, Lucy is going to treat Lauren like a princess, just like Val treats Normani."

The older teenager grinned at the thought of her boyfriend.

"Stop being gross Nani," Camila muttered, using Normani's childhood nickname.

Normani blushed. "Shut up, you're just as bad with Ariana."

"But Ariana and I are hot. You and Val are just sickly cute."

"No, Ally and I are hot, so hot. You and Ariana are slightly less hot. Normani and Val are a little less hot. And Lauren and Lucy are just adorable."

"Mom and Mama are gross," Lauren said, petting the three pets.

Dinah glared at the child. "Watch your back Lauren."

Lauren grinned as she turned to Charlie. "Bite her ankles Charlie."

The puppy looked at Lauren and then at the piglet and kitten curled up next to him. He laid his head back down, not wanting to disturb the other animals.
