Plush Pals: One Dense Aisha
 “Uh, what? Yeah I’m listening,” Bombuh flicked a paw over one ear before turning away from his project to face his fellow Plush. “You were talking about Neckro, right? I don’t even think she likes us that much, why do you want me to invite her along?”
 The snake hissed lightly, slithering up to his friend’s right. “I’m serious, dude! I think she likes you!” More than think, he was sure. Neckro was always so sure of herself, sly and sophisticated, but around the boastful and brash Bombuh she became unsure. It was so obvious! “And I wasn’t saying ask her to hang out with US. I want you to… y’know… ask her out!”
 Bombuh tilted his head, glasses slipping down his face. “Eh?! Ask her out? Why would I want to ask some girl out!”
 Huck almost facewinged. His friend was so DENSE sometimes. “Some girl, huh? I didn’t see you calling her some girl when you were staring at her the whole time we were at Roo Island last week.”
 The Aisha froze. “I-I did not! You’re imagining things, dude!” He brought his paw over an ear again and Huck could tell he was nervous. Some girl his squishy tail, hmph!
 “Look, let’s just finish deciphering this code, okay? You promised we’d explore the ruins this week!” Bombuh was back to business again, going over the weathered papers that lay in front of him. Where did he even find this junk anyway?
 “Fine, fine. Just talk to her later, okay?” Huck got a half-hearted yes in response. That was enough for now.
