Leni, you ready for lunch?
Definitely. How about Spaghetti on a Stick?
I'm craving skewered noodles.
Uh, sure, but let's go
to the Spaghetti on a Stick across town,
or maybe one in a different town.
I hear you get free marinara in Hazeltuckey.
That's silly. It's right there. Come on.
Thanks, Felix.
You know, Miguel bumped
into the carbonara cart yesterday.
What's up with him? He's super distracted.
[gasping] You're right.
I'm wearing new sunglasses, and he didn't even notice.
Miguel, what's going on?
Step right up! Get your skewered noodles!
[cheering]
That's Gavin. He just joined the Spaghetti on a Stick family.
Eee! OMGosh, time for the caboose of truth!
You have a crush on Gavin!
Shh! Fashion show voices. Okay, yes, you're right, I do.
[squealing]
[cheering]
Awesome.
There's no way I could ever approach
someone as cool as Gavin.
Did you see the height he gets on those meatballs?
What if you didn't do it alone?
What if I helped you land your crush?
Oh!
My new sunglasses!
And I just happened to hear Gavin say
he was spending his day off here.
I mean, lucky for us, I was hiding behind his car,
listening to him on the phone. Right?
Oh, you're the best bestie ever.
So what's the plan?
Ride the Curdler with him and pose stylishly
for the scream cam?
Nope.
We're just going to get
on the same Seas of Cheese boat as him,
so I can talk you up.
Excuse me. So sorry. Our friend is up there.
[clearing throat] Gavin? What a surprise!
Oh. Hey, Leni. Hey, Miguel.
Miguel, look! It's Gavin!
Grey! Sorry. I started to say 'greetings',
but then I switched it to 'hey'. Ugh!
Next boat. This one's full.
Wait, no! He's with us!
[sighing]
Ooh, you know who is cool? Miguel!
Last month, he competed in a triathlon.
The events were yoga, modeling a man purse,
and providing fashion commentary during an awards show.
He came in first.
[chuckles] Leni, I know what you're doing.
You do?
Don't worry. I got the message.
And it's all good because I feel the same way.
[squealing]
I think it's sweet that you've been so nervous
about talking to me that you've been hiding
behind Miguel.
Wait, what?
I mean, I hid behind your car, but not behind Miguel.
You don't have to worry. I think you're cool, too.
And I'd love to get to know you better.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm not cool. Miguel is cool.
I'm sure Miguel is great, but I like you.
[shrieking]
[gasping]
Leni, what are you doing?
Uh, I dropped my phone. Sail on without me.
What am I going to do, Tanya?
I feel terrible that Gavin is into me and not Miguel.
And the worst part is I think I might sort of like him, too.
I know, you're right.
For the sake of my friendship with Miguel,
I have to let Gavin down for good.
You're a wise lady, Tanya.
♪ Leni, the pasta I'd make you is penne ♪
♪ You're my one and only ♪
♪ Be the breadstick To my cannelloni ♪
Oh, Gavin, you're sweet,
and that penne does look delicious.
But we need to talk.
[gasping]
I know you're mad, Miguel, and I am so sorry.
I've been doing my best to avoid Gavin
because I would never want to hurt you.
Well, I am hurt.
I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore.
No, silly.
I'm hurt that you think I'd be mad at you.
Leni, you're the kindest, sweetest person I know.
I would never think you were trying to steal Gavin.
Really?
I'm touched that you would avoid him
to spare my feelings, but I'm alright.
Actually, I think you and Gavin would make
a cute couple. So I'm totes cool
if you want to get to know him better.
You are?
Of course. You're my BFF, and I want you to be happy.
B-double-I-G. Oh, bring it in, girl.
Come on. Let's go to Spaghetti on a Stick right now.
Hey, Gavin.
So my friend Leni thinks you're kind of neat.
She's my bestie, so treat her well.
Or they'll be serving Gavin on a stick here.
Know what I mean?
[chuckles] Huh.
[chuckles nervously]
Nice boats. Are the shoes fresh?
Boy, that episode of Dream Sauce, huh?
[gasping]
[laughing]
