(I'm in my Laufey phase guys)

Shelly...liked Vee. She grew a fondness towards her and...before she even realized, she had fallen in love.

The problem? Vee didn't even like her back...and it was slowly killing her. (Not literally lol)

She hadn't been doing well either. With her thoughts constantly drifting to Vee, she couldn't do her tasks right. She even almost got hit by a twisted the other day spacing out. This whole situation was driving her absolutely nuts.

Now currently, the ammonite was cleaning fossils with Tisha, trying her hardest not to zone out while Tisha and her talked about the different things that happened over the week.

"-oh yeah and Scraps won the gameshow again. Honestly, how does she keep doing that?"

Tisha sighed before looking at Shelly and smiling.

"Anything interesting happen with you?"

She questioned the ammonite.

"Oh! Nothing much. Just the usual!"

She grinned, masking the turmoil that stirred in her mind. How in the name of ichor was she supposed to say anything to Vee?

...unfortunately, that was a recurring thought. It didn't help that on the most recent run, Shelly almost died.

From that day, everyone around her had been worrying, paying more attention to her. Shelly didn't mind that she wasn't forgotten this time, but it annoyed her that no matter where she went, a trusted toon would have to accompany her. Couldn't she have privacy?

[Timeskip]

On this particular day, Teagan was accompanying her. She and Astro had a more...soothing presence in contrast to other toons. Rodger was kind of an exception but he kept asking questions.

"Is something on your mind, Shelly?"

Teagan's voice broke through the silence. She sounded almost...motherly and Shelly felt like she could rant all floor to her.

And that's just what she did. She ranted a lot to Teagan about her feelings, the teacup doing her best to comfort Shelly.

Once back in the elevator and coming back up to the Lobby, Shelly felt as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Like the whole world was on her shoulders the whole time.

[Timeskip]

Another one of those gameshows...

And another less than ideal day of Scraps winning. Gosh it was so hard to not burst out shouting at Scraps' luck.

And another day of Vee ignoring Shelly.

How nice (awful).

But Shelly...being the insanely optimistic toon she is, didn't give up.

And all she thought was...That's fine, though! She'd let Vee break her heart until she found a new person to like, right?

...Right?
