“Admiral!”

“Yes, captain?” Replied Oska, in perfect unison with her sharply dressed crewmate. She glanced nervously at the gorgeous snow leopard, who was trying her very best to keep from giggling at the mixup.

“Cuuut!” The directer threw up his paws in frustration of the long shoot. “Take five!”

“Oh gosh Alex, I’m so-so-so-sorry! I just thought, I mean, they gave me the black uniform - what does that even [/I]mean[/I]? Ohmygosh I can’t, what was I even thinking…” Oska continued to panic, until the other actress walked up and gave her a reassuring hug.

“Relax, sugar!” Alex ruffled Oska’s hair, her messy locks now matching the rest of her visage. “I like it when Stephen gets frustrated - he stops hitting on me!”

Oska’s shoulders drooped at the mention of their director. “Well, he certainly won’t be hitting on me anytime soon, I’m sure…”

“Count yourself lucky! He’s an absolute toad.” Alex rolled her eyes in disgust and stuck out her tongue, which forced a cracked smile from Oska. “Besides,” she continued, leaning in to whisper in Oska’s ear. “Rumor has it, that’s not the attention you’re looking for.”

Oska’s cheeks turned a shade of crimson that put her brightly colored hair to shame. “Who…? Was it… Wait a minute - are you hitting on me?”

Alex nipped Oska’s ear ever-so-slightly and gave her a wink. “You’re a cutie! But, you miiiight be right… Wanna get something to drink after the shoot, and see where the night takes us?”

Oska put on the bravest face she could muster as she gave her new friend an eager salute. “Yes, admiral!”

“Very good, private! Now, get back to your station - we’ve got a mission to complete!”
