Ribbit met up with Jax in her room, Jax was confused in what was happening, Ribbit never calls him in there for no reason at all.
“Soooo, Jax, what uhm… you been up to recently?”
Ribbit tried to act casually by smiling, but instead it was one of the freakish smiles.
“Uhm… Ribbit? What’s going on? Why’d you call me in here so unexpectedly?”
“Jax, you’ve been acting, let’s just say, different.”
“Me? Different? Nah, I’m the same as always.”
Jax raised an eyebrow, he had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.
“Let’s face it, you’re in love with Pomni.”
Jax’s jaw dropped, he was in complete and utter shock. He started to laugh, as he thought it was a joke.
“Me? In love with Pomni? The small little jester? Gee, Ribs, you get funnier by the day.”
Jax was wiping away tears at this point. Ribbit looked confused.
“Jax, have you… never been in love before?”
“What, me? Of course I have, I’m a very loveable guy, you know.”
“Jax, you’re totally in love with her, you’re doing nice gestures for her, making her laugh, heck! you even pushed her out of the way so a BOULDER wouldn’t hit her. You’d pay to watch that to happen to anyone else!”
“Ribbit, I swear, I’m not in love with her, I don’t ‘fall in love’ it’s… it’s not in my nature, so can we just drop it.”
“But, Jax, Kaufmo and I-“
“Not a peep, okay? Just stop it.”
He sternly said, and stormed out of the room.
Later, Ribbit and Kaufmo met up.
“Woah, Jax is in love? That’s crazy, definitely not on my 2026 bingo card…”
“So, I guess we just have to let him figure out on his own, then he’ll come to us. I just know it.”
She glanced over at Jax, who, once again, was laughing with Pomni.
“There’s no way he can’t see it.”
After leaving Ribbit’s room, Jax entered his own room and sat on his bed, alone with his thoughts.
“There’s no way I like her, she’s just… Pomni.”
“I mean, sure, she’s funny.”
“And somehow always smells fantastic.”
Jax thought to himself, he paused.
“Hold on…. Did I just list out all the reasons I LIKE that jester?”
He questioned himself. All of a sudden, someone knocked on his door.
“Oh, I- uh, hey Pom, what’s up?”
“Did you wanna grab a bite to eat and sit on the couches again? Pleaseeeee, I had so much fun last time!”
She begged, Jax looked down at her with her big puppy dog eyes.
“How could I say no to a face as gorgeous as that?”
“Sure, Pom, only ‘cause it’s you though.”
“Hahaha, Jax, you’re such a flirt.”
When Jax and Pomni sat down, Jax could feel Ribbit staring at him, AGAIN.
“Damn it, she was right.”
He thought to himself. Pomni gave him a nudge.
He looked at her smile and sighed to himself, he thought
“I’m so fu€%!*¥ screwed, man”
