''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3061747/20/Calvin_and_Hobbes_The_Series_SEASON_TWO After Andy's crush falls for Calvin, Andy challenges Calvin to a contest to win her heart over.]]''

The episode opens with Calvin and Hobbes arguing over Susie, eventually coming to a truce. They decide to get a game of {{Calvinball}} started, but Andy isn't really willing. Eventually, he sort of reveals that he's interested in a girl, but too shy to ask her. Hobbes poorly attempts to explain love to him, and he fails to gather the courage to call her that night.

Next morning, he's attempting to type a ''[[LongList thirty-six page long]]'' list of conversation topics. Shortly after, they go down to the park to meet Maria (the love interest), and their conversation doesn't go over well... not especially when she reveals she's more interested in ''[[HeManWomanHater Calvin.]]''

Needless to say, Calvin ends up a wreck, but his sadness is halted by the arrival of an irate Andy, who challenges him to a contest to see who gets Maria's love.

The contest doesn't go over well - Andy does reasonably well, while Calvin is flat-out ''terrible'' at impressing her. She actually likes Calvin, thinking he did it ''[[StylisticSuck intentionally]]'' bad, and Andy eventually accepts that he's not ready for girlfriends yet.


Added DiffLines:

* ADayInTheLimelight: For Andy.


Added DiffLines:

** Calvin's mom also does the last one to halt Calvin's OverlyLongScream.
* CoughSnarkCough: A variant - Andy coughs quite heavily while trying to confess his love to Maria.
* HandWave: Hobbes picks up a telephone in Calvin's room that [[LampshadeHanging "was there just for the sake of the story"]].
** Ironic, considering Calvin had and used a telephone there in [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes the original strip.]]
* HeroicBSOD: Calvin suffers one when he finds out Maria likes him.
* TheHyena: The LemonyNarrator outright {{lampshades}} it:
--> Have we ever discussed Socrates' laughter? He starts out laughing at whatever it was that amused him. Then he keeps laughing. It goes on and on, until finally he's just laughing at the fact that he's still laughing. The laughter stops whenever he passes out, or finally decides to calm down and try to catch his breath.


Added DiffLines:

* InterspeciesRomance: Hobbes thinks Maria isn't bad looking.
* LiteralMinded: Calvin wants to know what Andy plans to do with Maria's heart if he wins it.
* LongList: Andy's list of conversation topics clocks in at ''thirty-six pages.''
* LoveTriangle: Between Andy, Maria, and Calvin.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: "OW! [[ItMakesSenseInContext Love just pecked at my nose!]]"
* MotorMouth: Andy while typing out his LongList.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Andy gets ''really'' steamed in this episode.
* OverlyLongScream: Calvin does one as part of his HeroicBSOD.
* PassThePopcorn: Invoked:
--> '''Hobbes:''' Hello? Socrates? Meet me down at the park. And bring popcorn.
* ShoutOut: "Remember that one episode of [[Series/TheTwilightZone Twilight Zone]] where-"
** "Ya know, I could probably sum this situation up by discussing a few episodes from Series/TheOuterLimits."
** This exchange:
--> '''Andy:''' What do you think I've been talking about for the past few hours!!\\
'''Calvin:''' Well, it had to do with Film/GameraVsZigra. I know that.


Added DiffLines:

* StylisticSuck: InUniverse - Maria thinks Calvin was doing this during the contest.
