She waited anxiously for a response. She expected her to say something or possibly just pull away from a potentially awkward situation. What she didn't expect was for Alison to pull her closer and kiss her in return. A platform suddenly formed beneath her feet, but she paid no mind to it as she instinctively wrapped her arms around Alison's neck, returning the somewhat heated and passionate kiss. She had never felt so comfortable with anyone in her life. She felt like she was floating on a cloud, even when Alison ended the kiss.<br/><br/><strong>"Y-Yeah,"</strong>she replied, her cheeks flushed a rosy pink. She was feeling a bit embarrassed and also in a bit of awe from the moment they had just shared.<strong>"Sorry if I was a bit forward. I've never done that before. I guess it's just the mood lighting,"</strong>she joked as she let Alison go and rubbed the back of her own neck, unsure of what to say or do. She didn't even know how she was feeling right now. So many thoughts rushed through her mind.<br/><br/><em><strong>"I promise, I'm not usually like this. Or at least I don't think I am,"</strong> she mentioned before berating herself. <strong>"You can't just say that to someone. Ugh, why do I do this?"</strong> she groaned before rewinding back before she had said those words.</em><br/><br/><strong>"I promise, I'm not usually like this. Being so forward, I mean. I just feel so comfortable with you, to the point of embarrassing myself sometimes,"</strong>she mentioned, remembering that Alison had a way of recognizing she had stopped time before, so it wasn't impossible that this would go by unnoticed. The use of her powers left her with a minor feeling of dizziness. Combined with the moving water around her, she began to feel like she should get out of the pool before it got worse. The rosy color disappeared from her face, becoming her usual pale color, if not more-so.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey, I'm gonna get out. I don't mind watching you from a lawn chair, though, if you still wanna swim."</strong>She barely waited more than a moment before swimming away from Alison and to the edge of the pool.<strong>"I'm just feeling a little nauseous,"</strong>she added, not wanting Alison to think she was running away from her or anything. But as soon as she realized what she said, she tried desperately to fix it without using her powers again.<strong>"Not from the kiss! I promise, it wasn't anything like that. I just... Using my powers gives me... vertigo. It's not cute. I'm sorry."</strong>
