*Carefully takes Smooshies in his arms and cradles her* Smooshies just needs a little warm milk, lots of warm blankets, and to be alone to sleep *looks at Lucky like he had something to do with this*. *Looks up at Nuka, smiling softly, before going into the kitchen with little Smooshies and warming her up some milk. Once the milk was warmed he continued to cradle her a little as he fed her* Aww, Nukkie. She's falling asleep *smiles up at Nuka again as little Smooshies yawns and stretches her little paws*.

*Looks at the candy bar and then up at Oogie* You eat it first.

*Slowly his eyes drop to watch Oogie's hand* Stop y-you from what?

...

[notquite-dead-zero]

N-no. H-he isn't, but...but Nuka is! H-he'll f-find out a-and you don't w-want th-that, Oogie. *Reaches out to try and push Oogie back a little* Just go away, okay? I haven't done anything to you. Plus, I don't want to hang out with you.

*Gasps* He hasn't wanted to wear his sweaters?! How dare him! *Gasps again* Oh noooo! Smooshies! Hurry, Nukkie! We have to get back to help! *Time skip to the Zuka household. We now find Zero happily holding a ultra grumpy Lucky who is now wearing a sweat and some booties. He holds Lucky up to Nuka's face* How does he look, Nukkie? Where is Smooshies?

Fun for you, perhaps. I could think of another word for my own feelings toward it. *Whimpers softly when he sees Oogie taking steps toward him and as a result he ends up stumbling back into a nearby tree* I don't want anything to do with you that isn't walking away from you. I don't know where Jack is, okay? I haven't seen him in a long time, Oogie. Now, is that all?

*Smiles into the kiss and happily returns it. Lacing their fingers together he let their hands fall and gently he tugged Nuka forward* Lucky! How has he been? And mittens!? A-and Sir Bugs A lot?! *practically stumbling as he is now too excited to get home*

*Looks away from him and takes another step back* All I remember is how you hurt me for no reason, Oogie. Whatever the case, whatever your weird mind wants to think, the answer right now is no. *Looks back at him, standing up a little straighter* We're not friends and we will never be friends. So go away, please.

*Looks down at their hands, smiling as he rubs his fingers over his knuckles* Cheesecake? *looks back up at him, smiling softly* You'll have to teach me how to make this cheesecake. Why don't we go back home and get started?

*Eyes widen a bit as he leans in. Hearing his whispered words he shook his head and took one step back* Th-that's not true. I never agreed to being your friend and if I recall correctly..both people have to agree to it.

*Smiles up at him, closing his eyes when Nuka kissed his forehead* I've missed you too, Nukkie. How have you been? What's been going on?

*Holds back a groan when Oogie grabs onto his wrist, letting himself get pulled over. He looked up at Oogie and frowned a little* Friends? I don't think we're fiends, Oogie.

...

[notquite-dead-zero]

*Squeaks at the sight of Oogie, quickly scooting back* Hi, Oogie. *Starts to get up to try and walk away* Okay bye now!

...

[notquite-dead-zero]

*Jumps a little and drops the oranges he was juggling. Looks up at him, smiling a little* Hi. I haven't seen you in forever. 

*Leans up to peck a little kiss on the tip of his nose and sits back again*

That one is pretty! *Smiles as she hangs it up* See? You're already an expert. *Digs through the box until he comes across a red one with a little hole in it* I like this one because it's only a little broken, like me *hangs it on one of the middle branches*

Really. Jack would eventually get bitch slapped, probably. *awkwardly attempts to help as he drags it in and props it up.* Alright, seems easy enough. *kneels down next to the box, sifting through it until she finds a sparkly purple ornament* I like this one. *hangs it on a low branch on the tree*
