Mush couldn't help but laugh, ushering Ershey into a booth by the window. He was absolutely ravenous, but that was nothing new.
"I know I've been kinda weird lately." Might as well cut to the chase. "I just get...really nervous around girls. Especially pret-pretty one." He cleared his throat, not quite looking her in the eye.

"You got your eye on someone special?" teased Ershey, looking through the menu. Halfway through deciding between a hotdog and a burger, it suddenly hit her.
"Uh, a-are you suggestin'...?"

"...That I would like a turkey sandwich and a coke? Yes, I am." He let out a nervous laugh, drumming his fingers on the table and bouncing his knee up and down under the table.

"Er -- um, yes, of course," she chuckled nervously, unable to look directly at Mush. She wanted nothing more than to slink away under the table and hide for all of eternity. This was not what she had expected. Well, maybe a little bit.
"I'll, uh, get that too," said Ershey, nodding. She bit her lip, growing quiet. Oh, here we go again.

"Do you not know you're pretty?" He asked quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.

Despite the noise and the crowds inside Tibby's, Ershey heard Mush loud and clear. She looked at him, torn between hugging him and running away.
"I-I guess," she muttered. "What're you gettin' at, Mush?"

Mush took a deep breath.
"Well, I think you're pretty. I like being around you." There. He said it.

Ershey smiled shyly and bit her lip, trying her best not to blush but failing miserably.
"Thanks," she almost whispered, unable to stop smiling. "I like being around you too. You're... fun and cute."
((So muuuuushy hahahah))

((d'awwwwww))
Before Mush could open his mouth to reply, his stomach grumbled loudly.
"And hungry, too." He said, winking at her. Did you just wink?! Good one!

Ershey laughed, unable to believe what was going on. This was all too unreal.
"Yes, definitely," she said, nodding and ordering as the waiter came to their table. So, is this a date? She almost wanted to ask but kept her mouth shut.

Mush really hoped she didn't consider this a date because, technically, she was paying for him. And that was just not right when a guy took a girl on a date.
Maybe I should ask her out for dinner tomorrow night... Can I do it with out stammering or blushing? Mush chuckled softly, laughing at himself.

Ershey was glad for the disturbance by the waiter as he began taking their orders. After a nod and a smile, he was gone and off to the kitchen.
"So, uh... thanks for helpin' me sell papes this mornin'," said Ershey, fiddling with her fingers.

Mush waved it off, shooting her a small, half-smile.
"Anytime. It was a pleasure. Do you feel like ya actually learned somethin'?"

"Just a thing or a two," teased Ershey, smirking. What he taught was what she more or less knew, but she didn't want to give it away. Maybe she just had a bad selling spot, thought Ershey. Yup, that was it.

Mush smiled, looking relieved.
"Oh, good. Glad I could help." He shuffled his feet around under the table, accidentally knocking into one of Ershey's. "Whoops! Uh... Sorry 'bout that."
