"Here we go." She said, stepping into a small chamber.
Inside it looks, well, like a bedroom, if with rounded walls. There doesn't seem to be a corner anywhere, edge of the floor, ceiling, or around the curving walls! There are two rounded little tables, one with several odd looking stools around it, and one huge bed, again round. It looks sumptuous! Bright red sheets, big puffy pillows and... a mirror on the ceiling above it!
"What do you think Micheal?" She said, letting his feet touch the ground, but not withdrawing her arm from around him.
"Uh, it's very nice. T... this is your room?" she nods, smiling at him. "Uh, oh. Well yeah, it's very nice." You add lamely, trying to think of something to say. "Um, very good taste."
"Oh you think so? Oh thank you!" she says and hugs you tight.
Your breath leaves you in an instant and you think you feel your ribs creaking! When she lets go her arm is gone from around your waist at least. She practically hops to the bed, obviously very happy, and sits down on the edge, patting the silky fabric next to her.
"Come on, sit down Micheal."
"Uh, OK." You say nervously, testing to see if anything was broken by that hug, but it seems she does know her strength. You seem OK, just!
Tentatively you walk over and sit down next to her. She promptly puts an arm around your shoulders and rests her head on the right one, sighing.
"Micheal... do you.... like me?"
Your mind whirls. Where is this going? You've been friends with girls before and got, well close, but never had a real girlfriend before. You've maybe been in this position a few times, but never with someone this... emphatic!
"Well, I don't know you very well, but... yeah, I like you Lamp. You seem like a nice... girl."
At this she seems to practically collapse against you, sighing hard.
"Oh you have no idea how rare that is! You see I came to Earth because you are so much nicer than Majin. You aren't as aggressive, you actually make friends with each other so easily. *Sigh!* Will, will you be my boyfriend Micheal?"
"Boyfriend? I... wait, I thought you said you took a wrong turn? You came here by accident?"
"Uh, well... OK, that was a little fib." she said giggling. "I thought you'd think I was a little creepy if I was coming here to find a guy. So... will you?"
Boyfriend! Whoah.
"Well, I... You do seem nice Lamp, but this is awfully sudden." She seems to lock up next to you, nervous it seems. "Oh, Sure. Sure I'll be your boyfriend Lamp."
"You will? YOU WILL?" she says, twisting you forcefully round to face her, grinning.
She stares into your eyes for a few moments, tears practically coming from them as she looks at you. Then you are taken in a huge hug again, and this time you join in. It's still breathtaking... literally, but you go with it and finally she lets up, sniffing as she grins back at you happily.
"Uh, yeah. I will Lamp. But could you go easy on the hugs? We humans are rather frail compared to Majin!"
"Oh, did I hurt you? I thought I was holding back enough!" she seemed genuinely worried.
"It's OK, you were. It didn't hurt, but, you know, it's a little too tight."
"Oh good. Thank you SO much Micheal. You don't know what this means to me!"
You relax a little as she pulls back, but she just seems to be staring at you now, still a little teary.
"OK, so... Um, 'girlfriend'?" You say. "What do you want to do?"
