Today was a big day, a massive day, god one might even say the most special day of Vee's career. Today she FINALLY was having a dinosaur themed trivia and Shelly was one of the contestants, and Vee was vibrating from joy at the idea of Shelly being on stage, getting some much deserved attention. She knew she was going to kill the competition too, she had her prize picked out and everything. She was so excited, and her handler seemed to notice as she soon gently grabbed Vee's shoulder.

"Easy there Vee, you're starting to shake again. Are you over heating, dear?" Veronica softly asked, and Vee just shook her head, giving her handler a hug to reassure her.

"I'm just excited, thank you for checking on me though~" Vee replied sweetly, getting a chuckle and nod in reply from the human as she hugged the very hyper robot back. She could tell Vee was telling the truth, she only talked in such a tone when she was excited about something, so she didn't push her anymore on the topic and simply let her go.

"Alright, we gotta go make sure the set's ready for the special, I'm sure you can get in your outfit by yourself. Just... Please be careful, okay? I know you don't mean to be clumsy, but I'm really concerned you'll fall and break something before we air again, so be careful for me please." Veronica gently told her, then she gave her another quick hug, said a soft "love ya hun" before she let go and rushed off to handle her responsibilities, and Vee just waved her off before she scratched her head. Clumsy? She was clumsy? Last she checked her stabilizers were in working order, she doesn't trip on her microphone as much as she used to either, how was she clumsy? Deciding against questioning it, she just walked to her backstage room to get ready for the show, though was pleasantly surprised to find Shelly was already there waiting for her. She just waved to her as she walked past, getting a smile and wave in return, before she... Promptly ran right into the wall. Okay, maybe she was clumsy after all.

"VEE OH MY GOODNESS-"

"I'm fine. It happens." Vee quickly reassured as she stumbled a little, but didn't fall, thankfully. She felt her screen a little, then sighed, being relieved there were no cracks in it. She then turned to Shelly and gave her a thumbs up, ignoring her very obviously concerned face in hopes she'd not think too hard about that. Shelly just forced a smile and thumbs up in reply, so Vee quickly went to her dressing room and closed the door as quickly and quietly as she could, blushing darkly from pure embarrassment. She really really has to stop staring at her... Especially if she's going to be on stage and obviously notice that she's being stared at. Vee sank down against the door and covered her screen with her hands, wishing she was invisible right now, wishing she didn't just embarrass herself in front of Shelly of all toons like that. She had to get herself together... She can't be distracted like that. Vee took a deep breath before she looked over at the comfortable dinosaur onesie they wanted her to wear, figuring that maybe wearing something comfortable that also matches Shelly would help her calm down. Besides, they all were going to wear one, and the thought of Dandy in one was kind of funny. She had no idea if he was a contestant or not today, but just the thought of him being forced into one made her giggle a little regardless. So with the power of seeing Dandy embarrassed in mind, she slowly got back up and grabbed the soft, dark green and light green dinosaur onesie and slowly slipped it on, then looked in the mirror. She looked like she was wearing Shelly's pajamas, but green instead of red, and triceratops themed. She kind of liked it... She pulled up the hood and was immediately humored by how it actually fit, and how absolutely stupid it looked. No, no hood, that's too dumb. She immediately flicked it off and sighed, then turned and flicked off the lights, opened the door and quietly left. Vee never bothered to close the door behind her, or usually close it when she was in there as she usually didn't have costumes for her shows, but she really didn't want anyone to know she was being stupid. Especially not after she was warned to not be clumsy... She took a deep breath as she confidently walked to her backstage room, figuring if she pretended she was totally fine, she wouldn't be questioned. Thankfully she wasn't, as the normal crew that tested everything just came over and made sure she was in full working order before she was ushered out to her usual spot on the stage. Being used to this, she just mostly ignored them and strutted her way to her spot, doing a quick mic test herself to make sure her tail was connected to the system before she looked over at her contestants. She didn't even register who the two other toons were, she just immediately was staring at Shelly. Shelly was just sitting there, looking adorable as she looked around, admiring the view around her. She had on slight makeup to match her onesie, along with some dinosaur shaped bandages here and there on her face, which hid any cracks in her shell from the audience. Vee must've been staring for a good minute as she was snapped out of it by Veronica turning her head away forcefully.

"The cameras Vee, look at the cameras, not your beautiful girlfriend." She reminded her quietly before rushing off stage again, making Vee blush darkly, but before she could snap back to say that Shelly wasn't her girlfriend, they called for her attention again. She instead sighed and rolled her eyes, though she couldn't help but look back over when she heard Shelly giggling. She had obviously found the comment about her to be quite charming, she probably didn't get called beautiful as often as she should be, it kind of broke Vee's heart to realize that. She just shook her head a little and grinned like an idiot at her before looking back at the camera, though she soon realized she had absolutely no idea who the other two contestants were and had to look back at them, getting a very obvious groan from one of the producers. Vee just ignored it though as she looked at Bright, who's onesie theme wasn't very visible from her spot, then at Shelly, then at Sprout, who was very not enjoying the fact he was forced into a strawberry themed stegosaurus onesie. Vee couldn't help but look incredibly impressed by it, especially since the spines were leaves. She really had to talk to the costume maker about it, that was so good, that would get so many views alone. Vee looked back at the camera before giving a thumbs up, getting a heavy sigh from one of the producers yet again.

"Vee, can we please start just recording this thing instead of getting footage of you staring?" He asked defeatedly, getting a confused look from her. They didn't give her the queue, she didn't know. Or did they? Did they do it while she was making sure she had everyone?

"Maybe give her a verbal queue, I might be making it a bit harder for her to see, I am a lamp after all." Bright spoke up, making Shelly nod in agreement.

"Lights absolutely overload her sensors, we could just make a dinosaur noise when we're good instead of hoping she notices! Right?!" Shelly said excitedly, though she immediately looked bummed when she was met with just death glares. She wasn't helping, as much as she was trying to. Vee however just sighed and held herself back from ripping them apart for ruining her mood, and instead forced a smile.

"Girls girls, its okay, I just am a little distracted today, don't worry about it. Let's take it from the top, kay? I'll do my usual introduction and then you introduce yourselves for me, then we'll get to the trivia and everything will be fine. However if any of you make Shelly cry, I don't know how long you'll be working here, so keep it civil, got it?" Vee suggested with a shit eating grin, and when they agreed because they wanted to keep their jobs, Vee just nodded once in approval. They restarted the recording and everything was going great, and much to nobody's surprise Shelly was getting every single one right whenever she could. Vee couldn't help but beam with pride at her, she knew she could do it! Though during one of the last questions, Vee was going to a different spot on stage to be at a better angle for the cameras when she caught herself staring at Shelly's face again, studying her wide smile with her sharp teeth, her shine in her eyes as she was going to absolutely win this gameshow, the way her tail wagged from pure bliss and excitement. She didn't realize she was close to the edge of the stage and so lost in thought she didn't hear anyone calling for her until it was too late, she had lost her balance and she tumbled right off.

Everything was black almost immediately.

Everything hurt.

When she finally came to again, she couldn't help but groan from the pain she was in, though she didn't even try to move as she felt two gentle hands on either side of her screen, giving her gentle scritches as what she assumed were the nearby medics checked everything else out. She knew it had to be Shelly that was down there with her, who's lap her head was resting on, simply because she was the only toon in Gardenview that knew about her guilty pleasure... Face scritches. It only was bad because it would ruin the paint on the sides of her monitor, but that was the least of her worries right now.

"She'll be fine, let her just rest for a few more minutes, there's nothing broken that I could tell."

"Okay, thank you, are you sure they're not mad at me for distracting her so much?"

"Oh heavens no Shellers, you're totally fine. Vee just really likes you, it happens, just, usually not this often. We gotta talk to her about that, huh?"

Vee internally groaned when she realized that wasn't a medic... That was her handler. And now she's embarrassing her in front of Shelly... Great, just great. Shelly however didn't seem to really think about it as she just kept giving her gentle scritches, one hand moving to the top of her head while the other stayed against her right side. Vee lowered her antennae at how soothing it felt, which got Shelly giggling.

"I'll do that on my own... For now, you should go make sure the set's clear, so we can rerecord the last few questions. I'll get her up once she's ready." Shelly replied, then she heard Veronica walk off, so she opened her eyes and looked up at Shelly, who was just looking back at her with a loving smile and concern in her eyes. They didn't say anything, they didn't need to, they knew what the other was thinking about. They knew they wanted to stay like this for a while, to just peacefully stare into each other's eyes, but Vee knew better so she gently stopped Shelly before she slowly sat up.

"Yeah I'm good, sorry everyone." Vee simply stated as she stood up fully, then she gently helped Shelly back up, though the two immediately hugged each other before they even thought about going back on stage again. They whispered quiet "I love you"s to each other, then gave each other a squeeze to remind the other that they're right there for each other, then they moved away.

"Let's get you that winning question answered, right?" Vee asked, and when Shelly excitedly nodded, Vee just laughed as she lead her back onto the stage. As expected, Shelly did win the gameshow, earning herself a golden trophy with a Gallimimus statue on the top, and of course a kiss on the head from Vee. Shelly was in near tears when she won, but she just proudly showed the camera that was a tad too close for comfort the trophy before she put it down on the table it had rested on the entire gameshow before she hugged Vee tight. Vee just hugged her right back, not at all caring if they caught them on camera, she just wanted to give her beautiful girlfriend the love she deserves.

"I knew you'd win, you're the toon that knows everything about dinosaurs. How was it?" Vee asked once she knew they had stopped rolling, and Shelly just looked up at her with the sweetest little smile.

"It felt great just knowing you were having so much fun, Vee. I'm happy we got to do this." She replied, getting a soft smile and a gentle squeeze in reply.

"I'm happy we did too Shelly... I'm happy we did too." Vee replied softly, though the two were soon startled by a third person joining the hug. Vee was going to snap, but it was just Bright, who had on an adorable magenta troodon inspired onesie. Vee was impressed, then she realized that Shelly probably helped with the costume ideas and was rather impressed by Shelly's tastes than anything else. She's good with her dinosaurs...

"That was great guys, thanks for having me on! I gotta go organize the library now though, cya both later!" Bright cheerfully said before she left the hug and walked away. Sprout had left as soon as he could, he didn't HATE the show he just felt stupid in the costume, so Vee and Shelly were now the only two left.

"Let's go find a place for your trophy in the museum, I'm sure they'd like to clean up the confetti on the stage." Vee suggested after a few moments of peaceful hugging, and Shelly just nodded as she moved away, then picked up her new trophy again.

"I've been wanting to show you my newest fossils too!! Let's go!!" Shelly cheered, and soon the two were walking hand in hand, tails wagging as Shelly soon was going off about how much Bright would've been such a great troodon if she was a dinosaur. Vee happily listened as always, just happy to exist with her adorable little fossil, while their two handlers looked at each other.

"They're definitely dating, aren't they?" Veronica asked, and Shanon nodded.

"Yup."

"Wanna see if Arthur would let Vee host more dinosaur trivia shows just to see them this happy more often?" Veronica suggested, and Shanon just nodded, smiling as she started skipping off to do so. Veronica couldn't help but chuckle as she followed her, finding it so cute that Shanon was just as silly and goofy as Shelly was when she's happy. She wouldn't mind seeing her around more often... Maybe they could be best friends one day. Who knows... Who knows.
