It's been a long while since Bea had seen anyone outside of her room since the haunted house except for the occasional movie club and her exam. This time, she just came back from the scarentine's day party, and things had been going strangely awry for her. With the holidays are over for the most part, it seemed to be a good time to catch up with a fiery friend.
She came up to the demon dorms feeling upset and wanting comfort or some sort of advice. Figuring that Danny had had experience with... sugar... before, Bea thought it would be a good idea to ask Danny about it.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Danny?" she called out from the front of her dorm room door, "Are you home?" Bea stood there for a moment hearing nothing was replying to her.
THUMP.
The sound of Bea's head hitting Danny's door. Oh, Jack. Please let her be home.

Danny was busy playing a new game she'd gotten for her hexbox when there was a knock on the door. She was so entrapped in the game that she just shouted, "Jussa seconddddddd."
The knocking grew more intense, and even Danny's stupor was broken. She set her controller down grumpily, and went to answer the door.
When she opened it, she was greeted with the sight of her ghoul friend Bea. "I'm home!" she said, though this was pretty obvious by now. "Howsit goin'?" she said, opening her door a bit wider to welcome the ghoul in. Hopefully she wouldn't mind the heat ... could she even feel the heat?

Bea's eyes weld up in tears, "DANNNNNYYYYY" she reached out and hugged onto the fire demon. "Do you have time to talk? I need to tell you something!" she said with a hint of urgency in her voice. "I did something. Something... not good." She turned her head looking down the hall to her left and her right. "Can we talk inside?"
Without hesitation, Bea went right inside.

Danny attempted to not slam Bea against the wall right there and then. She loved Bea, but the ghoul was always extremely wet, and the tears in her eyes weren't helping. She was like a giant water balloon aimed at Danny's tail- now that she was missing her tail lantern? Extra screwed.
Still, after a moment or two of Danny standing there feeling awkward, Bea went inside. Danny let out a silent sigh of relief- in her room she had a lot more fire to make her feel safe. Inside was good.
"What'd you do?" she said, aimlessly following behind the ghoul. Bea was welcome anywhere in her room ... except maybe the bed. Plus the furniture. Err ... kind of everywhere with cloth.
No no, she'd be nice for her friend. Everything could be fixed with a good fireball afterwords ... right?

"NOTHING!" Bea shouted. "... Well, I--- um... How about I'll just tell you the story from the beginning..."
She took a deep breath, "Okay, so you know how there was a scarentine's party not too long ago, right?" she looked at Danny with wide eyes and quickly put her head down to her hands. "Well... I thought maybe I could meet the guy of my dreams there...and there was this whole 'speed dating' type thing going on, and that's when I met that one guy who plays that one song that everyone liked. You know, that um... Johnny Dodges? Dawner? Uhhh... Dagger?"
Bea looked up from her hands, trying hard to think of his name.

"Johnny Danger," Danny said abruptly. Okay so yeah, she secretly really like the singer, but she could never publicly say it. Why? Two words.
Rochester England.
He would absolutely kill her if he found out she liked even a hair on Danger's head. Danny thought some of his songs were pretty good though. She wasn't very intellectual about her music- anything she could dance to was just fine. She wasn't in it for the art.
Gesturing with her hands she said, "Kay, and then?" Clearly there was more to this story, and Bea was very excited to tell it.

"YES!" Bea threw her arms out, got up and began to pace around Danny's room. "Oh my JACK," she rolled her eyes, "He was so rude! I was paired up with him and all he would do was sweet talk and I'm not exactly sure, but I think he kept staring at my..." she gestured to her upper torso but below the head. "ANYWAY! I was paired up with him and when we got to the table, he just sat right down! He even had the nerve to put his feet up. He put his Jack damn feet up, Danny! He put his feet up instead of offering me a chair. Now I might not know much about dating but I KNOW you shouldn't treat ghouls in that manner!" wagging her finger in no particular direction. "Then after that whole crap, I went off to play some games right? I won a couple, and I... lost a few... And I started feeling upset so I went to get a drink to cool myself off.""Then some boil infested with cockroaches shows up all angry and we got into a quarrel. I swear he was gonna punch me or somethin'..." Bea turned to look at Danny again, but the tone of her voice changed from a fast paced rant to a quiet wishy washy speech. " And the next thing I knew... I... you know... Well, you don't know but... Well... um... well... I gave him..." Bea's eyes darted around the room before she said, "sugar."

Danny pursed her lips a little and paced with Bea. Moving was good! Oh this was one of those times you weren't supposed to huh? Right, right. Danny found a seat and listened aptly to Bea's story, if not daydreaming every once in a while.
As she listened to Bea's story, she realized some of her own errors. Danny had looked at things on the other person. She'd put her feet on the table too ... Had she done something wrong? OMJ She wasn't supposed to treat ghouls that way? Both of her partners had been ghouls so ... Oh crap had she messed up scarentines?!
Danny was going to ask Bea for confirmation, but the ghoul was clearly wrapped up in her half of the story. It was probably better that Danny didn't ask anyways- it would lead to a lot of confusion that would derail their little meeting.
Besides, she'd already forgotten about it with Bea's exciting second half. There was punching! ... Oh ... she gave him sugar. Danny tilted her head a little. "Why'd you give him a pack of sugar?"
Danny: Only ghoul to mess up the expression. Twice.

Bea stood there for a while trying to understand what Danny was up to.
Then again. It was Danny.
"No, not a pack of sugar... I meaaaaan... you know! sugar..." she said bashfully. But just in case Danny didn't understand, Bea decided to be a bit more specific. "OKAY! So, remember the time when you told me that Rikki... kissed... you?" Bea blushed a bit, "H-How did you feel about that? Was it anything you were expecting your first kiss would be like? Actually, was it your first kiss?"

Ohhhh. OHHHHH. That kind of sugar. Right. She was having trouble keeping these metaphors straight!
Danny stared blankly at Bea though. It was like ice water had been dumped over her at the mention of Rikki's kisses. She quickly recovered, saying, "I uh. Well-"
Luckily Bea was a chatterbox today (thank Jack!) and moved on in a matter of seconds. "First kiss?" Danny said, eyebrows furrowing. Would that have been in Nahm's room or ... no wait that was ... Danny scratched her head. "Oh!" she said, lighting up like a lightbulb, "At movie club. Remember when Nahm kissed me that one time we watched the movie with the chainsaw arm guy?" She tilted her head lightly, her hand on her chin, "I ... think that was the first time. Maybe? I'm not sure."
While kisses were a big deal for Bea, Danny could care less. Well, no, she cared it was just ... There was only one person where kisses meant anything for her ... So all the other ones just sort of faded away in her memory.

Bea tilted her head forward at Danny trying to listen carefully to her reply. When she realized Danny didn't exactly answer her question, she blurted out at the ghoul and grabbed onto her shoulders, giving her a slight shake, "BUT HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN HE KISSED YOU?"
A silent moment passed as Bea's eyes gazed right into Danny's, almost desperate for an answer. She was feeling hot. Real hot. And it wasn't just because of the room...

Danny's eyes went wide as Bea shook her, not really sure how to react except sit there and take it. When Bea was done, Danny put her hands awkwardly on her arms, sort of clenching up herself entirely. This was ... kind of embarrassing.
"Um ... when Nahm kissed me I guess I felt sort of ... nothing really. Embarrassed I guess? I don't know..." How did she explain it? It was unguarded, awkward, in the dark and strange. She never felt anything except awkwardness when she thought of Nahm's kiss. Romance was far out the window.
Then a fervent red crossed her face and she said, "When ... um when Rikki kisses me, I feel ... really happy? Um ... I get all warm in my tummy 'cause I know they're just for me ..."
She whacked Bea on the arm and said, "But! But don't tell him I said that okay! Geez Bea that was really embarrassing!!" She had her hands on her cheeks, as if trying to hide the blush that covered the tan color. Talk about romance was way too ghouly for Danny.

With Danny giving her a good whack on the arm, Bea let out a small happy squeal, "EEEEEEEEEEE~!" Her hands loosened her grip. "I'm sorry to have you say that, Danny!" she giggled, "I'm happy that you told me though."
Then an something of an epiphany hit her, "Wait, so, there are different kinds of kissing... Regardless of it being the first or not?" Bea took a few steps back and almost tripped herself onto the couch.
Her face suddenly changed to a riddled look as she touched very lightly on her lips and thought back to her own kiss.
"..."

Danny tilted her head, hands still on her face. "I-I don't know! What makes you think I would know that!" Danny was ALL of the embarrassed. Face red, biting her lip. All of it.
Her hands dropped back down to her side, and Danny shifted awkwardly from foot to foot. "You never answered though. If you didn't give him a pack of sugar, what'd you give him?" She was changing the subject. No more talking about her kisses with her boilfriend!

Bea snapped out of it.
"I, uh, I-- um... What I meant to say was that I-- I--" she struggled trying to get it out. "I KISSED HIM, OKAY?!" Bea immediately flopped over and buried her face into her arms. A bit later, she jerked her head out, "I think there was something in the punch, or maybe I wasn't thinking straight, or I dunno! I just... KISSED HIM! BLAAAAAAAAAH!" she yelled and looked back at Danny for some comforting.
