K.C.: *eyebrows furrow in anger as she drops the Fly Pad coolly, crossing her arms as anger begins to run through her brains, completely unamused as her lips set into a still line, letting out an exasperated huff, completely done with life*

Pip: Uh... K.C.? *tilts his head as he looks up from reading on his Fly Pad* Are you okay?

K.C.: Well, if you must ask, no, I am not okay. In fact, I am calmly enraged. The asker seems to be heteronormative and only doing this because we're both of the opposite gender and seems to have a hard time wrapping their head around two animals of the opposite gender just being friends. This is honestly really inconsiderate.

Freddy: Is this shipping? *pops his head out of the fake igloo he was hiding in* I feel like this is about shipping

K.C.: *crosses her eyebrows and huffs* This is — in fact — about shipping

Freddy: Awww... *exits the igloo and starts walking towards the koala* K.C... Just because you aren't comfortable with shipping doesn't mean we all aren't

K.C.: *looks at the flamingo, raising her eyebrows* Well, I'm sorry if I take my love life a little more seriously than you do. Besides, you're way too young for this

Freddy: Okay, fine *pouts a little bit as he looks down at the ground then looks up again, shrugging* But I'm still alright with people shipping me

K.C.: *rolls her eyes playfully* Of course you do...

Freddy: *smiles* Well, what's the question anyway? *looks down at the ground where the Fly Pad was thrown and picks it up, the screen lightly cracked* It's a dare for Pip!

Pip: What— Huh— Did someone call my name? *looks up from reading again and starts looking around*

Freddy: Yeah! *smiles as he raises his wing* I did! You have a dare! *looks at the Fly Pad again* It's from @BlanketsThanks *hands the Fly Pad over to the penguin*

Pip: Huh... *eyes widen as he walks towards the flamingo and takes the Fly Pad* It says... *starts reading* I dare Pip to ask everyone at T.O.T.S. if they ship Kip *fakes throwing up as he gently places the Fly Pad down* I'm sorry— What?

K.C.: I know, right? *shakes her head vigorously as she clenches her claws* I feel like the only reason that ship exists is because of stupid heteronormativity *scoffs* I mean, it's true I prefer Pip over Freddy— *turns towards the flamingo and hugs him* No offence! You're still a great friend! But Pip's more entertaining to talk to — But Pip is very far from my idea of a perfect lover. We're great friends, but we can't be lovers

Pip: *nods in agreement* I don't love K.C. romantically and I never will!

K.C.: Also, I doubt Pip can offer much that can help me in a long-term relationship. Pardon me but I don't want to spend most of my life with Pip. He's good to come to when I have problems or ranting, but that's just what friends do — and if ever we get into a relationship, I doubt it would last a long time. We're probably only going to date for a while before getting bored. I doubt that I'll be able to provide Pip the love he deserves from a partner, nor will Pip provide the love I need *shakes her head as she furrows her eyebrows even further*

Pip: *sighs* I'll still have to do the dare though *starts walking out of the nursery* Welp. See you all later!

+*+ AT THE END OF THE DAY +*+

Pip: *panting as he enters the nursery, wiping a sweat from his brow* Okay, so I've only found one stork who ships it and his name is Edarge *smiles gratefully as Freddy gives him an ice-flavoured smoothie* Most storks don't ship it and the idea didn't really cross their minds. They said we'd be better as friends and I whole-heartedly agree

K.C.: *tries to calm herself down by teasing the penguin* Is it because of a specific crush on someone specific? *smiles smugly*

Pip: *mumbles* Shut up... *clears his throat* Anyway, yeah. That was the result of my survey

Freddy: Tsk! Survey? *raises his eyebrows as he looks at the penguin teasingly*

Pip: *mumbles again* Shut up...
