Matais: [laughs] Unbelievable. What was the bet?
Parker: A booster pack of voidcritters to Bethany if you asked Athena out before Christmas break, versus her Blarffy Bear to me if it was after.
Matais: Parker, if you wanted a Blarffy Bear, all you had to do was ask, not make bets with a three year old to con her out of it.
Parker: So can I get a Blarffy Bear?
Matais: Maybe for Christmas, if you tell me about the frogs.
Parker: You drive a hard bargain, Pops.
And with that, Matais discovered that his daughter was a con artist had the permission of the only person who mattered. The only thing left to do was actually buck up the courage to ask Athena out.
