SageSpeak - Take That Step - III

Being the lazy coccon he is, woody and fiona were startled when flik proposed a trip across the hills to jellystone national park.
"Guys, it would be great guys .. Imagine seeing buffaloes ...", flik started off.
"But flik, we get to see buffaloes across the road, dont we fiona ??", woody said.
"Guys, imagine all the fauna and the flora and the serenity and the tranquility and ..."
"flik, please .. we know you are preparing for your GRE exams .. woody, maybe we should go .. itz been a while" said fiona. Woody looked back to check if it was a tube-light flickering, but they never figured out that it was a glint in flik's eye.
"so flik, both of us are ready .. shall we hit it", said woody, yawning to show his disinterest.
"guys, there is just space for one more in my car .. maybe we should take someone .. how about"
Before flik could go anywhere with his master-plan, fiona jumped in. "Doryyyy !!! we can take Dory with us .. she wanted to go on a trip sometime"
"But i was saying .."
"yo fiona, i was thinking of dory too .. poor thing is already half-mad .. maybe we should take her"
".. maybe we should .."
"let me call Dory .. woody, you just check if we need to buy anything"
".. call jess".
There was silence. Jess had been a friend, but no one was sure if they could hit it out on a trip. But looking at flik's eyes which oozed of love and all its closest cousins, woody and fiona shook their heads.

The rest of the trip to jellystone park is edited to save the reader of going through this demanding writeup. Of worthy mention would be the fact that Flik faked an injury and chose to spend the drive down with Jess in the back seat, while rookie drivers woody and fiona drove the car close to the jaws of death than they would have liked.

Couple of months later, in the apartment where flik and woody stay,
"I have to tell her", said flik, determined.
"I told her already", said woody without emotion.
"What, you told her ?? What the hell ??"
"Relax dude, someone had to tell her .. If you weren't going to, then i had to"
"But I ... I wanted to tell her and i thought, i thought you knew", flik's voice was quivering.
"Yeah, I knew .. but you were taking your own sweet time and i couldn't wait .. so i just told her"
"And .. and .. what did she say ??", anxious flik sounded even more anxious.
"Of course she said yes, what do you think ?? i guess she was thinking about it too", woody was not even looking up.
"Congrats dude, maybe both of you should go .. its probably the right thing" said flik, with a voice that tried to mask some hidden sorrow with magnanimity.
"Why, you arent hungry ??", said woody.
"What??"
"I said 'arent you hungry ??', i called up fiona and she said she can join us at central perk".
"fiona said yes"
"yes"
"fiona said yes"
"errrr .. yes .."
"so that means jess didnt say yes"
"i didnt call her, you want me to call her ??"
It was at that moment that woody found it would be great even if he remained unkissed for eternity than being kissed by a man, no matter even in the cheeks.
