Only the story and Mr. Baat belong to me.  Wordgirl (the show, characters, etc) doesn't.

            Becky's heart was pounding, her breath coming in gasps, and her elegant brown eyes wide. She walked like a landlubber on a moving ship, or perhaps a sailor on land. Her cheeks were stained red, and she was dazed and seemingly undecided if she should be smiling or frowning. Evidently, she was extremely flustered.

Bewildered, she walked into class, ten minutes late. Or perhaps she floated into class. Either way, her teacher, Mr. Baat, frowned disapprovingly.

"Look, class, Ms. Botsford finally decided to grace us with her presence." The class tittered.

Coming out of her rather dazed stated, she began to apologize.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Baat, but you see..."

"No buts, Ms. Botsford! This is unacceptable! This is the third time you've been late all week, and its Tuesday!" Tuning out her teacher's latest tantrum, Becky focused on herself to calm down. Don't think about it... his lips were so soft... Stop it, Botsford!  You... can't... his eyes are so, mesmerizing...No! He's the enemy, for Becky and Wordgirl! She shook her head ever so slightly. The teacher noticed.

"No, you don't think that students should be on time to their classes?" He seethed, nostrils flaring.

"Oh, of course I do! I was simply detained by..." Here Becky hesitated.

"Detained by what?" Mr. Baat snapped.

"You mean by whom," said a silky voice that caused Becky to stiffen (or perhaps it was the warm hand that placed itself on her shoulder). He noticed this and smiled (perhaps lightly smirk would be more accurate). "And she was detained by myself." Theodore Macalister the Third finished.

Surprise flitted over Mr. Baat's face as he looked at Tobey's slightly smirking face and Becky's flushed and slightly dazed face as he began to put two and two together. The class began to mutter and gossip as they did the same. Becky vaguely noticed Violet Heaslip, her best friend, widen her eyes as she guessed at what happened, then smiled at Becky kindly ( and perhaps a bit smugly). Unfortunately, their teacher overcame his surprise.

"Quiet!" He yelled, looking around. He turned back to Becky and Tobey. "What did I except from a bunch of teenagers? I thought you were better than that, Ms. Botsford, but I assure you, pregnancy will not be an excuse for not doing homework." The class gasped, knowing that one simply does not make such assumptions about Becky Botsford (besides, the idea was ludicrous,  Becky was Miss Perfect).  Becky and Tobey froze, Tobey with such a cold look on his face it was a wonder Mr. Baat did not freeze in the spot. In fact, he got goose bumps and felt a shiver go through him, and yes, part of that was because of Tobey.  But most of that was from Becky, because she looked mad.

"What did you just suggest?" She whispered, seething. Her eyes were screaming fire as she slowly spoke, fists clenched so hard that a diamond in her hand wouldn't stand a chance (not that it ever did). Here Mr. Baat, realizing his mistake, began stuttering,

"O-o-oh, u-uh, n-n-nothing..." At this Becky began to shake. As she opened her mouth to yell at the teacher that this assumption was unfair and disrespectful and what happened was most certainly none of his business, as well as the fact that his words were most unprofessional, Tobey grabbed her by the shoulders, promptly spun Becky around, and kissed her. Other than a quiet and collective gasp from the class, there was utter silence. After a few long moments (or perhaps a few sunlit days to the kissers) they broke apart. Becky returned to her flushed, dazed landlubber state, and Tobey, who a little more than a bit dazed himself, smirked, said,

"You're welcome," to Mr. Baat, and promptly walked over to, and sat in, his desk. Becky finally floated over to her seat and gently sat down, her eyes still gazed over. The silence continued until Violet said,

"Well, Mr. Baat, could you actually do your job and teach us math?" :P :D
