"Lexii!" a voice whispered from somewhere above her. She puffed up her tail and curled up tighter, being slowly pulled back into sleep. "Lexii!!" the voice whispered again. She groaned and turned over on her back, half opening her eyes.
"What the-?!?" she panicked opening her eyes wide. Above her, two yellow-orange eyes peered down at her. They narrowed as a toothy grin sliced through the darkness.
Narrowing her own eyes she curled her fist and took a balançoire, swing at the thing. She didn't make full contact but managed to knock it over as she pounced to her feet.
The thing let out a yelp, which surprisingly didn't wake Marlene, and crashed to the ground in front of the entrance to the loutre habitat. In the bright moonlight, Lexii could make out what, ou plus accordingly who, the thing was.
"Julien!!" she whispered bewildered. "What in the Heck are toi doing?!?!"
Julien picked himself up off the ground and straightened his crown. "Well, I was going to ask toi if toi wanted to go get icy-cream with me, then toi went all psycho!" he whispered back.
Lexii crossed her arms over her chest. "Okay, first of all, it's 3o'clock in the morning!!! Can it wait till daylight?!? And seconde of all, I went all 'psycho' because toi scared the living crud out of me!" she whisper-yelled.
Julien smiled "So can I take that as a yes?"
Lexii growled and lay back down. Julien knelt par her bed. "Pleeeeeeaaaassssssssssssseeeeeeeeee?????????" he begged. Her ear twitched. "PLEEEEEEE-" Lexii turned around and clamped his mouth shut.
"If I say yes will toi promise never to wake me up in the middle of the night again?" she said, her eyebrow raised slightly. Julien nodded eagerly.
"Fine." she grumbled and got out of bed.
Once they were out of the loutre habitat and onto the walkway Lexii turned to Julien. "So where do toi expect to find crème glacée here?" she asked with a sly grin. Julien smiled back. "The zoo-peoples keep some in da freezer in da kitchen" he responded
Lexii smiled and shook her head. As they walked along Julien stared at her. The moonlight seemed to make her soft white fourrure glow in a beautiful halo. Her baby-blue eyes were full of happiness and trust. And that smile... That smile is what Julien looked vers l'avant, vers l’avant to everyday when he opened his eyes at sunrise.
"This is going to be the best rendez-vous amoureux, date ever." Julien thought dreamily. "Well, even if Lexii doesn't know it's a date."
"What the-?!?" she panicked opening her eyes wide. Above her, two yellow-orange eyes peered down at her. They narrowed as a toothy grin sliced through the darkness.
