So via request of Megan, the salad shipper writes again! This is the story of Shawn and Megan! Hehehe! I hope you enjoy this. It was certainly different to write something on request. It's kind of like prompts which I'm not a huge fan of. But to each their own! So yeah. Enjoy this story, I guess it was fun to write.

Megan felt uneasy as she moved boxes from the moving van. She was new to living in Saladtown, despite the occasional visit to see something someone in town had made. Of course, there were celebrities around too, people like Vechs, MC, and Guude all were occasionally seen around. She started to think "What would I do if I saw one of them? I don't really know what I'd even think to do. Or if I'd think to do anything!". She took a second to wipe her forehead, the work and 97 degree heat causing her to break out in a sweat. "Gah! The heat! It's so hooooooot." She groaned and took a seat in the van, looking back at her progress. "Not even close! Ugh!" She whined at the large amount of boxes still left to move.

----------------------------

Shawn walked down the street with his friend and local celebrity, Etho. They were in the middle of an argument about breaking bedrock in the overworld of Minecraft, the game that had brought the town together.

"I'm telling you Shawn! You can't do it. Bedrock doesn't break in the overworld." Etho said stubbornly to his friend.

"We can do it! If you can do it in the Nether, I can do it in the regular world." Shawn shot back, clearly not giving in.

"Shawn, it will never-" he was cut off by his phone. After finishing his call, he stopped his friend. "Hey, Shawn, Seth needs me for some project he's been thinking up." Etho started to walk off with a wave.

"Yeah yeah. Just don't start sucking face! The last thing we need is a redstone romance!" Shawn yelled to his friend.

---------------------------

Megan set a box on the ground, trying to count it as her break. It wasn't much, but it helped and that's all that she cared about. Her ears perked up at the sound of footsteps walking down the sidewalk. Maybe she could ask for some help or at least strike up a conversation to relax. He came within her view, he had brown hair, but the hair around his face looked to be turning blonde. His eyes were a deep blue, like an ocean's flowing waves. She tried to catch his attention and hopefully get him to help.

-------------------------------

Shawn's head snapped over to the girl calling out to him. She was blonde, like rays of light had taken to her hair, with pretty eyes that looked to be a mix of blue and green. He decided to walk over to her.
"Hello! Um....I'm new around....." She grew more shy as she spoke.

"Oh. I definitely couldn't tell. Not like there's any vans in sight." He giggled as he said it. He was hoping he hadn't come off as mean.

She joined his giggling. "No, I don't see any around. So....can I ask your name?..." She got quieter the longer she talked.

“Shawn. What’s yours?” He responded, a bit carefree.

"Oh....um...Megan...." she was hoping the warmth in her cheeks was growing. He is kind of cute.... She thought to herself.

"So...are you gonna get back to moving boxes? Or just stand there in the sun? I'll help if you want." Shawn smiled and started over to the van.

"Oh thank you!" She almost squealed and ran over to the van. "You're the best!" She grabbed a box with a smile.

"Just helping a new friend in need!" He smiled, and began to help move boxes.

----------------------------

The two worked all day, moving boxes, joking about things, enjoying spending a bit of time together. After a long day's work, the final box had been put away, alongside the energy of the newly friends. They both plopped down on the steps of the porch. Shawn yawned as he stretched out, weary from a long and heated day with the new girl. Megan sort of leaned on Shawn, just as tired. Shawn took a chance and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She grew a bright red and glanced over at him.

Shawn couldn't believe his luck. Here he was, middle of a sweltering day, burning up, with an incredibly cute girl on his arm. "I must of died and gone to heaven." He thought to himself. "You know, you haven't said anything about being in my arms here." He said a bit smugly. She grew red like an apple as her heart raced.

"Well...I....uh...." she stumbled over her words. "Now! Do it now!" Her words echoed through her head as she leaned in. She pecked his cheek, leaving him in a warm blush.

There was suddenly a hoot from across the street. There was Etho and Seth. "Hey Shawn! I thought you had a thing about that! Ya hypocrite!" Etho yelled to the two as Seth took his hand and said something. They walked off and left the two on the steps.

"You know Etho and Seth....?" Megan looked to her companion with amazement in her eyes.

"Yeah. Trust me, there's no way to not meet those guys around here." He smiled over at the innocent face staring him down.

"I don't even...like how would I....what would I....?" She stumbled through her sentence, not really sure where she was going with it.

"Has anyone ever told you you're cute when you're tongue tied?" Shawn giggled as he said.

"Oh just shut up." She grinned and hit him playfully in the arm. He just smiled in return.

"So there's something I want to do. If you'll let me." Shawn showed his first signs of being nervous.

"Go ahead. I'm curious." She cocked her head to the right, looking Shawn in the eyes.

He brushed her hair from her face behind her ear and slowly leaned in, locking lips with her. The two kissed in the heat, letting the passion take them. After a few minutes, they pulled apart, gasping for air. He struggled with his words. Megan....I think....I love you." He panted.

"I....love you...too Shawn." She stammered as they laid back on the steps with the late afternoon sun beating down on them, holding each other, clearly, the newest couple to Saladtown.

-------------------
