Hello, Everyone!!

This is my first contest, but I am going to try my best to make it interesting. Write a story in which animals play a vital role in bringing a couple together. It has to be a romance, obviously, and bonus points if you can make it an adventure!...let's say no more than 2,000 words! Any animal is fine, even made-up ones! Okay, let your imaginations soar! While I will not be super strict on rating, try to keep it as close to PG-13 as possible for our younger readers! Thanks!
