(A few hours before Popgoes and Manora's date, Saffron walks over to her sister's room and then gives a knock on the door. Sara responds rather quickly.)

Sara: Yes-? Oh! Saffron! Hey there, sis!

Saffron: Uhh...hey!

Sara: Everything alright? You look nervous...and when you're nervous, that means it's important.

Saffron: Can I come inside?

(Sara nods and lets her sister in before closing the door behind her and then taking a seat.)

Sara: So, what's goin' on?

Saffron: ...okay, you know I like girls, yeah?

Sara: Mhm?

Saffron: ...well, there's...sort of one I have my eye on...maybe...

(Sara suddenly gives a smug grin at her twin and giggles.)

Sara: Miss Cindy?

Saffron: H-huh!? How the fuck did you know?!

Sara: You aren't exactly very subtle about it, sis...she's also the only other girl here besides me and Manora.

Saffron: Well, there's Lynn-

Sara: Besides the point.

Saffron: ...okay, yeah. It's her...she's just so...cool! I mean, she has this confidence I can't help but admire...she's also got some sass to her which is definitely my type...s-she's also pretty...

Sara: I take it you want to ask her out then?

Saffron: Yeah...but how do I do that without making myself look like a complete idiot?!

Sara: Well...I sadly don't have much experience in this kinda field. Have you asked Popgoes? He's kind of the only one with a girlfriend.

Saffron: He's got a date with Manora pretty soon. Knowing him, he's pretty busy. I don't wanna bother him about this...and you're my sis, y'know?

Sara: Awww! When you put it like that, I might have some advice for ya on how to get your special someone!

Saffron: Lemme guess, act cool and confident like in those movies?

Sara: ...I mean, if that's who ya are, then sure! But no. The trick is to be yourself! If you gotta change yourself for the person ya love, then it ain't worth it! Trust me.

Saffron: Hmm...good point...so, what should I do? Just ask her?

Sara: Ya could! But...I think I might have an idea!

(Later that evening, Cindy was just in her room...fiddling with a ball of yarn like an actual cat.)

Cindy: (constant happy meowing)

Also Cindy: Hang on, how long have I been doing this?

(Cindy slowly looks at the clock and her eyes widen when she sees she has been doing this for about two hours.)

Cindy: ...well. This is probably a sign of addiction-

(Then, there was a knock on the door. Cindy yelped and quickly kicked the ball of yarn away before making herself look presentable with a fasten of her bowtie. She then opened the door.)

Cindy: Hello-? Oh! S-Saffron, hey!

(Saffron gives a wave.)

Saffron: Hey, Cindy...umm, I heard a noise in there. Sounded like an engine...do you have a secret car in there?

Cindy: ...ummm...yes?

Saffron: ...can I see it?

(Cindy is quiet, realizing that was probably not the best lie to tell.)

Cindy: ...no.

Saffron: ...yeah, you're totally lying. Anyway, that's not why I came.

Cindy: Then, what's up?

Saffron: I, umm...wanted to show ya something.

Cindy: Oh! Okay! Lead the way then.

(Saffron smiles and then the two walk out before suddenly walking up the stairs and then arriving at the rooftop of their restaurant...where a picnic basket and blanket was waiting for them. There was even some fake candles to serve as light.)

Cindy: Awwww! This is adorable!!!

(Cindy's cheeks then suddenly lit up and she turned towards Saffron.)

Cindy: D...did you...set this up for us?

Saffron: Y-yeah, heh...c'mon, let's sit. This food isn't gonna scarf itself down.

(The two take a seat and Saffron opens the basket, taking out a few snacks like chips and sandwiches. Nothing too fancy.)

Cindy: Oh, thank you!

Saffron: (holding up her sandwich) Cheers?

(Cindy giggled and then 'clanked' her sandwich against Saffron's.)

Cindy: Cheere!

(And slowly, but surely, the nervousness began to fade as they just began talking and eating. The topic of conversation would just switch from one thing to another.)

Cindy: So, you're a squirrel, right?

Saffron: Gee, what gave you that impression?

Cindy: Shush. So...do you eat acorns?

Saffron: I've never even seen one, so I wouldn't know. I'm also a robot, sooo it's not like I have the urge to go find an acorn.

Cindy: Note to self: get Saffron a pile of acorns for Christmas.

Saffron: (laughing) D-don't!

Cindy: Alright, alright...one giant acorn.

(Saffron grins and then playfully shoves Cindy, who just laughs. And their hangout continues for quite a while, even after their basket was empty. They just kept talking before eventually just laying on the picnic blanket to look up at the sky.)

Cindy: ...y'know...when my brother and I were possessed by Tim and Tina, we could just...feel their agony. Their...their sorrow. It was all a little much especially after the robot equivalent of being born.

Saffron: ...damn...I'm sorry...

Cindy: It's okay, but that's not my point. I kinda always wondered what it was like to be human as we started to get to know them. What it was like to not feel...metallic, I guess? I dunno, it's kinda hard to describe.

(Cindy slowly flashes back to all the times she would try to comfort the stray soul of Tina, even sometimes doing silly little things to try and make her smile.)

Saffron: No, no, I get it. I wonder sometimes too...I mean. I'm happy with what I am, but I do get curious what's it like to be human.

Cindy: Yeah! Exactly! And us cats are famously curious after all!

Saffron: Don't I know it...but one thing I'm glad we get to see human or not?

Cindy: Hmm?

Saffron: The stars are really friggin' pretty.

Cindy: Yeah...they really are. Makes ya feel like it's endless and like there's always something new to see.

Saffron: Mhm.

Cindy: ...so, umm...why did you set this up? Just to hang out?

(Saffron's face goes red as she slowly sits up, clearing her throat.)

Saffron: Well...no...I...I wanted to ask you something.

Cindy: Yeah...?

Saffron: ...I...I, umm...I wanted to...

(She then took a deep breath, remembering her sister's advice to be honest. She then faced Cindy.)

Saffron: Cindy...I...I like you...a lot.

(Cindy's eyes widen and her own cheeks quickly go rosy red.)

Saffron: A...and I was kinda hoping that...that maybe...we could be a thing? Y-y'know, like...like girlfriends...if you want...

(But then, Cindy suddenly holds Saffron's hand with a warm smile.)

Cindy: ...I...I like you too. A lot.

(Saffron's eyes widen as she stares into Cindy's eyes for any signs of pity or the 'just friends' spiel. But she didn't see either.)

Saffron: R...really?

Cindy: Y-yes! You have this badass way of going about things and I think that's cool, sure...but you aren't afraid to show off your soft side too. You're a fantastic guitarist, you can swing a hammer like no one's business, and...and you were there for me when Candy and Pop were missing...you have no idea how much that means. You didn't even really know everything about me...yet, you wanted to help out anyway.

Saffron: S...so...you-?

Cindy: Mhm...c-can I be your girlfriend?

Saffron: Y-yeah! Yeah, totally!!!

Cindy: Okay!!!

(The two are smiling wide, still holding each other's hands as they gaze upon the other. And after a while, they slowly begin to lean in...until Cindy suddenly stops.)

Cindy: Wait a second.

Saffron: What? Shit, was that too fast-?

Cindy: No, no, it's not that.

(She begins looking around the rooftop, as if someone is watching them. She then stands up, pulling Saffron with her. And after packing up the blanket and basket, Cindy is now practically dragging Saffron with her downstairs while looking around the plaza, as if she was in Mission Impossible. Eventually, Cindy pulls Saffron right into her room.)

Cindy: Okay...now, where were we?

Saffron: ...the hell was that all about?

Cindy: Umm...well, it kinda sounds crazy, but I just wanted to make sure our first...kiss was in private.

Saffron: The rooftop wasn't? Was someone spying on us?

Cindy: No, I just know for a fact-

(Suddenly, the door is kicked open...by none other than Candy The Cat.)

Candy: THAT'S MY SISTER!!!

Cindy: That was going to happen. Candy, are you kidding me!?

Saffron: How the hell did you even know where we were?!?

Candy: My overprotective brother senses were tingling, that's how!!! Oh, and Popgoes.

Cindy: Candy, get out! You are not ruining this for me!

Candy: Hey, I just wanna make sure you're safe!

Cindy: THE HELL IS A KISS GOING TO DO!?!

Candy: ...when I have an answer, I'll get back to you.

(Cindy starts growling before suddenly, a hand grabs Candy.)

Sara: Candy, give them some space.

Candy: But-!

Sara: Hush! You two continue!

(She literally drags Candy away and then shuts the door, leaving Cindy and Saffron alone again. They wait for a minute to make sure they actually were alone before looking at each other.)

Saffron: ...okay...where were we?

(The two begin to lean in for a kiss...until the door opens again.)

Cage: I saw Candy thrash around like a rabid animal, what happened- Oh!

Saffron: Seriously?

Cindy: Cage, big bro, please leave.

Cage: Alright, alright! I'm leavin'! Don't have too much fun now.

Cindy: GET OUT AND LET US HAVE OUR MOMENT!!!

(Cage closes the door and leaves, with Cindy and Saffron looking at each other again.)

Cindy: Okay...now-

(The door opens again to reveal Blake with a technological rocket hammer in his hands.)

Blake: Hey, Saffron! I finally finished your rocket hammer-!

Saffron: AWESOME, BUT NOT NOW!!!

(Blake yelps and shuts the door, leaving the two alone again. Cindy and Saffron lean in for a kiss...but then give a death stare at the door, now just waiting for it to open again. But there's silence.)

Cindy: ...are we safe?

Saffron: Pretty sure.

Cindy: Okay, neither of us say 'where were we'-

(There's a knock at the door again.)

Cindy: GODDAMMIT!!!

(Cindy, now growling like a tiger, swings open the door...only to see no one there. But she looks down and sees its a properly intimidated Penguin.)

Penguin: (scared honking noises)

Cindy: ...shit...umm...sorry. I'm just...trying to kiss my new girlfriend and we keep getting interrupted. You get it?

Penguin: (understanding honking noises)

Cindy: Thanks. Sorry, bud. I'll get back to you.

(She shuts the door and then holds Saffron hands and kisses her before anyone else could even think of knocking on the door. Saffron is a bit taken aback by the suddenness, but she gleefully melts right into it. Eventually, they part.)

Saffron: ...whoa...

Cindy: Ah...finally-

(There's another knock.)

Cindy: I SWEAR TO GOD, I'M GONNA-!
