Kronk's Love Story

Part 13

The academy was putting on a date auction to raise money for... something. I wasn't going to go, but when Kronk said he was one of the dates, I just had to go. We are just friends, so I just wanted to make sure he didn't go out with some girl that isn't right for him. 

Mr.M announced Kronk's name and he came marching from behind the curtain in his spinach puff outfit. Every girl in the room awed at the sight of Kronk. Yatta threw took the first bid which ruffled my feathers. She was always trying to hit on Kronk. Then Malina threw her money in the ring and won the date. If Maline was going to take my man than I'll take hers. Kuzco was the last date. He overdid the presentation, but I had to bid on him. 

After the auction, Kuzco took me out to a fancy restaurant. 

"Kuzco, you didn't have to take me out. I just bid on you because Maline bid on Kronk," I explained to him. 

"Wait, you're trying to make Kronk jealous by going out with me?" Kuzco confusingly asked. "Malina and Kronk. What a consequence."

"What a consequence when you asked me where Malina was taking me and I told you?" Kronk dorkishly replied. 

Malina didn't look bothered at all. "Well, congratulations, Mara. You got your dream date." 

I reached across the table and grabbed Kuzcos's hand in mine. "Oh, yes. Now you two have, I know we will." 

Malina and Kronk went to their table and sat down, but not before Kronk glanced back at me. Kuzco pulled his hand away. 

I leaned forward and whispered. "If you want Maline jealous... you follow my lead. Besides, you've done far worse than this." 

Kuzco nodded. "Okay." 

Malina purposely sat right behind us which was fine because that meant she was getting jealous. Kronk will be with me in no time. 

The waiter came over to us, ready to take our order. 

"Oh, Kuzco, you order first. I'm still trying to decide which puffs I want or do you want to split the puff tray with me?" I winked. 

I saw Kronk peak over his menu. 

"Let's get the puff tray so I can feed you, my darling date," Kuzco baby-talked. 

The waiter went over to Kronk and Malina. For some reason, Malina started to laugh over nothing. Oh, yeah, it's all coming together now. When our food came, Kronk looked so sad as Kuzco put a puff in my mouth. Malina huffed, making Kuzco sad. Malina was too focused on trying to get Kuzco's attention that she left Kronk out and he left. Kuzco was to focus on getting Malina's attention that I was getting bored, so I left too. 

Kronk was sitting in his room. 

"Kronk?" I softly said, getting his attention. 

He looked up at but looked away. "Don't you have Kuzco to get to?" Kronk sighed. 

"Kronk, that was just an act," I quietly explained. 

"Oh, really? Is that why you guys were going to share puffs?" Kronk sassed. 

I scoffed. "Hey, I'm not the one that went out with my sister. That was low." 

Kronk groaned, giving me more sass. "Oh, yeah! Well, maybe seeing you with Kuzco hurt." 

"Well, maybe you should tell me how you feel. And if you can't then leave and go be with the one you really want to be with," I roared, getting frustrated. 

Kronk huffed and puffed. "Fine! Maybe I will leave so you can be with Kuzco." 

I huffed louder. "Fine!" I shouted, stomping to his door. 

"Fine!" he yelled back. 

"Fine!" I shouted, slamming the door and marching to my room.
