001. intro
April felt her heart hammering fast and terrified, beating itself against her ribs like it was trying to escape.
"You okay?"
It was talking.
It could talk!
Her head whipped from the Kraang behind her to the hulking green thing in front of her.
It smiled, and extended a hand towards her. As its lips parted, she saw it had a little gap in its front teeth.
It was this, more than anything else that sealed her decision. Later, she would reflect that there was absolutely nothing rational about it. I mean, what difference did something like a diastema make in that kind of scenario? None whatsoever. Totally irrational.
But that little gap in his teeth was so…well, cute. Somehow, it made him seem just a little bit less threatening…a little bit more vulnerable. Just a bit more…
Human.
She reached out and took his hand.
Years later, she would shudder, chilled to the bone remembering just how close she came to screaming, batting his hand away, and scrambling to her feet, running in the opposite direction - never to know his name. Never to meet his brothers, her family. Never to -
"You okay?"
His words snapped her out of her reverie.
"Yeah," she smiled, "Fine."
He smiled, placed a gentle peck on her hair. "Whatcha thinkin' about?"
She sighed, settling deeper into his embrace. He turned down the volume and pulled the blanket closer around them, and she leaned her cheek on his plastron, closing her eyes and allowing the movie they were supposed to be watching to fade into pleasant background noise.
"The day we met."
