7. more embarrassing moments

Johnny was sitting on the couch with his phone in his hand. He scrolled through his list of downloaded videos, pondering what he should watch. After a few moments he shrugged his shoulders and simply decided to select a random video.

"What are you watching?"

Johnny looked away from his phone to find Anne standing there.

"Nothing. I was about to select something at random."

"Here let me choose," Anne offered holding a hand out.

Johnny shook his head, "I rather not have someone else use my phone."

"Yet, you took mine for a prank."

Johnny playfully rolled his eyes, "I didn't use or looked through it."

Anne opened her mouth to countered, but couldn't come up with anything, "Fine. You got me there," She admitted after a few moments of silence.

Johnny smirked before giving her a curious look, as he noticed she had clean up quite a bit.

"Decided to clear the leaves and twigs out of your hair, huh?"

Anne nodded before nervously rubbing the back of her head, "Yeah... I decided to clean up a bit,"

"Why?"

Anne blinked and flinched nervously, "Um..."

"I haven't been here long, but I can tell you haven't put an effort to stay clean before I came here," Johnny said before gasping, "You are doing it because of me, aren't you?"

"No, don't be silly," Anne denied before looking away.

Johnny sighed before deciding to drop the subject.

"Anyway, you want to watch something?"

Anne nodded before taking a seat on the couch next to him. Johnny began to feel nervous at her close proximity and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong? Have you ever been this close to anyone before?" Anne teased.

"Of course I have," Johnny said nervously before mumbling, "Just not girls my age."

"I heard that!" Anne exclaimed with a smirk.

Johnny sighed, "Let's just find something to watch."

"Yay me!" Anne exclaimed.

Johnny laughed, "See you do sound like her."

"Ok. Maybe just a little," Anne admitted with a chuckle.

"What's going on?" Sprig asked entering the room.

"We were just watching something on Johnny's phone, Sprig," Anne answered.

"Can I join?" Sprig asked.

"Yeah, I want to see some violence," Polly spoke up.

"When did you get here?" Johnny asked the polliwog.

"Just now."

"Sure. The more the merrier," Anne answered.

Later that night Johnny was looking through his phone, trying to decide what to do. He didn't want to risk waking anyone up with videos. Johnny scrolled through his downloads before finding a few stories he downloaded. Before he could open the file he heard a noise.

"Should I check it out?" Johnny mumbled to himself.

Before he could decide what to do, he saw Anne entered the room. Johnny raised an eyebrow, amused that this was the second time she decided to check up on him. Deciding to play a little joke on her he closed his eyes, pretending to fall asleep. After a few moments he was able to hear Anne sigh.

"It's still hard to believe he is real. Just think there is another human here that I don't really have any issues with."

Johnny smiled before moving up and opening his eyes, "Boo!"

Anne jumped in fright before giving the laughing boy a glare, "Very funny."

Johnny stopped laughing, "Trust me this isn't as scary as you coming up to check on me. Not once, but twice in a row."

Anne looked on the floor nervously, "Sorry. i just can't help it."

Johnny waved a hand dismissively, "It's fine, but don't do it again."

"I will try."

"What do I have to do to prove to you I am real."

"I just need time alright."

Johnny sighed, "Since you are up you want to do something?"

Anne nodded before the two took a seat on the couch.

"So, you have been here three months, right?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah."

"Just making sure. Do you have any stories?"

Anne smiled, "I have a few."

Hop Pop entered the living room with a yawn. He moved through the room very slowly to prevent waking up Johnny. When he looked at the couch he was stunned to find not only Johnny, but Anne sleeping on the couch too. Despite, lying on top of him she seemed to be comfortable. Hop Pop shook his head. Anne and Johnny made a big deal out of two humans not sharing a room and yet here they are sleeping together on a couch that could only fit one creature. Even after living with Anne for 3 months he still doesn't understand humans. Hop Pop decided not to disturb the two and continued on his way.

Johnny woke up with a yawn before noticing something, or rather someone on him. He felt his face heat up as he looked at Anne sleeping on him. He remembers Anne telling him about her adventures. How she helped Stumpy save his failing diner, managed to win the town's respect, and some more information on the incident at Toad tower.

"What am I going to do now?"

Johnny was nervous to move and risk waking her up so he decided to wait. Johnny hoped she wouldn't be upset when she discovers their current position. He also wants to see the look on her face when she does as well. Suddenly, Johnny felt Anne holding on to him like a stuffed animal.

"Ok. On one hand it will be more embarrassing for her when she wakes up, but it's also more embarrassing and awkward for me too. It kinda balances out."

In hindsight they shouldn't have stayed up so late, but they couldn't help it.

"Hopefully, this won't happen again."

"What won't happen again?" Anne asked.

Johnny took a quick breath, "You're awake."

"Yeah. What's with you?" Anne asked before gasping, "Why am I on you and..."

"I don't know. I woke up with us like this," Johnny answered nervously, "Could you?"

"Oh. right," Anne said nervously before getting off of him, "We shouldn't have stayed up too late."

"More like you shouldn't have sneaked into the living room, just to make sure I am real," Johnny argued.

"Excuse me for making sure after months of thinking I am the only human around here!" Anne snapped.

Johnny held his hands up defensively, "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that."

Anne took a deep breath, "No, I'm sorry. It's just you know."

"Yeah."

"Let's try to prevent this from happening again."

"Do you think anyone saw us?" Johnny asked.

Anne shook her head, "I hope not."

Little did the kids know Hop Pop was watching the whole exchange with an amused smile on his face.

Shorter chapter than usual. I have been having writer's block lately and since it has been quite a bit, I didn't want to leave you guys hanging for much longer. The next few chapters will have Johnny exploring the town and getting used to the place. hope you enjoyed.
