Hippo finally kissed a girl the other day. It was an accident.
Hippo was carrying a box down the hall through his dorm. As he came to
the fire door, which split the hall at it's halfway point, he found that he
did not have a spare hand with which to push it open. Without breaking stride
he swung his foot up and kicked it. The door flew open forcefully, impacting
on the head of the young woman who had just then been reaching for the handle
on the other side of the door. The girl fell backwards to the floor.
"Crimey!", thought Hippo. He set his box down and leaned over the inert
body in the hopes of restoring it to the upright position. Her eyes were
closed and her lips pressed together; she looked altogether tranquil. Without
even realizing what it was he was doing, Hippo leaned down and kissed her
lightly upon the lips.
"A kiss to wake the Sleeping Beauty", he thought to himself.
Her eyelids began to flutter open and Hippo, confused and embarrassed at
his actions jumped back. All he could think was, "But I'm no Prince
Charming!?!" The girl openned her eyes and Hippo apologized profusely and
then, after glaring at him warily she walked away down the hall.
Hippo stood up and went back to his business with the box.
