Twinkle in the Night

She hadn't realized just how long she was staring at him. Even when he looked back at her. She had sort of zoned out as she thought, but even she wasn't sure what she was thinking with her muddled thoughts. Her and Holland were just becoming friends...weren't they? Was this just how it felt when you became friends with someone? She frowned for a moment, feeling puzzled about it. She had had friends before...sort of. But none made her feel the way she was feeling now. Maybe it was a feeling you got when you were becoming best friends with someone? Could they even be considered best friends?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt confused. She shook her head to try and clear it, only when she did that, some fireflies that had settled there without her noticing fluttered away. Her eyes grew wide as she gasped and chased after them, the woman bounding forward as she focused on the bugs instead of where she was actually going. She leaped forward and swiped a paw at them, only then did she realized she was on a crash course straight for Holland.

She dug her heels into the dirt in an effort to skid to a halt. Only she wasn't quite fast enough. Holland had gotten caught in her crossfire, and he'd be the one to stop her tumbling head over heels. She stopped nose to nose with him, practically smooching the guy. Surprised, she blinked once or twice before quickly pulling away, the heat rising to her face and making her feel like she was about to burst into flames. "S-sorry! I-I didn't mean to do that..I..erm..." She felt her face burn and her ears fell to the sides. She was sure it she had paler fur he'd see how red she was.
