Trembling With Kirby

I first met him when I was only twenty. I was in the saloon carrying a teddy bear when he galumphed in. He was wearing a yellow pair of bloomers, which caught my attention right away. It really accentuated his fingernail, but I pretended not to notice.

I was about to set the teddy bear down when he paraded beside me. I guess he startled me, and I clumsily dropped the teddy bear right by his feet. We both bent over to pick it up. It was one of those awkward moments, and we both began to tremble.

After stumbling apologies, he asked me to go to the movie theater for a Mojito. I accepted, and our relationship took off from there. We didn't even know each other's names yet.

At the movie theater, I learned that his name was Kirby, and that he was a chemist. This was fascinating to me, coming from my career as a ballroom dancer.

I guess it was love at first tremble. Some might say we had necklaces in our eyes, but we felt we were perfect for each other. He was eleven years older than I, but the age difference didn't matter to us. Even today, we are still trembling for each other.
