Bjorn: So the other campaign assistants and I have had a brainstorm and came up with an idea for how to propel your campaign further up in the polls.

Alyse: Oh, and what is that?

Bjorn: A gala, here at the Stargazer. On Sunday. You’d give another speech, although a bit more laid back than today’s. Rub a few elbows, shake hands, have fun. All that jazz. 

Alyse: Interesting. And I assume my husband needs to be there, for appearances sake?

Bjorn: *voice deepens* Not necessarily… You know Alyse, I’ve always found your drive and determination…extremely appealing.

Alyse: Bjorn, it was one drunken night after an incredibly long day, let it go. I’m sure your wife misses you.

Bjorn: Not as much as I miss you. The feel of you in my arms…waking up to you lying beside me in the morning light. Alyse, please. We both know what we want.

Alyse: *sigh* Bjorn, I can’t. A scandal like this would destroy my campaign. So I beg of you, please let this go.

Bjorn: Never. 

Alyse:

Bjorn: *clears throat* Anyway, it would be great for your image if you did bring one of your family with you. Maybe one of the twins? Having the apparent support of your children would look great in the eyes of voters.

Alyse: I’ll think about it.

Star Gazer Lounge, Friday

Alyse: And in conclusion, thank you all for coming to here today and remember to Vote No on Initiative 541 to keep our children safe from predators that would do them harm in public bathrooms. 

*polite applause*

Bjorn: That was great, Alyse. 

Alyse: Oh, thank you Bjorn. It was my pleasure.

Bjorn: Would you sit with me for a bit, there’s something I want to run past you.

Alyse: Of course, I can’t really say no to my campaign manager, now can I?

Bjorn: *laughs* True, true. Right over here.

After School, Friday

Kaylee: Whatcha get for number 27?

Yuki: Uhh, 38x+b.

Kaylee: F*ck…wait, no I’m right. It’s 64x+a.

Yuki: No you’re not! I’m the brains in this relationship *laughs*

Kaylee: *flirty* You take that back or you’re not getting any-

Nathaniel: Getting any what, Kay- Oh leaping llamas! What happened to your eye?!

Kaylee: …I got beat up by a cheerleader. 

Nathaniel: Oh my god, Kay baby come here. [hugs] Do you want me to sit down with the principal because-

Kaylee: No dad, I don’t want to make it any worse…I’m fine, I promise.

Yuki: *cough* Liar.

Kaylee: Shush ya face!!

Yuki: Anyway, I think we’re done with the math for now, feel like watching a movie, bab- Kay?

Kaylee: *whispers* Nice save, Yukes.

Garret and Anna pt. 2

and now for something cheerier, like I promised

I had asked her out to the Romance Festival in San My for our three month anniversary. I never thought I’d be one of those saps to celebrate monthly anniversaries, but apparently I am with her. We had a great time, lots of staring into each other’s eyes and being two dorks in love, the love guru even said we’d be together forever…which is why when I walked her home from the train, I got this crazy idea.

Anna: I could have walked back on my own. It’s literally just a few blocks.

Garret: Yeah right babe. There could any number of weirdos walking around your neighborhood. Not gonna happen.

Anna: Well thank you anyway. *laughs* You’re cute when you’re concerned for my safety in the most suburban neighborhood ever.

Garret: *hehe* Yeah…hey listen, i was thinking about what the guru said….

Anna: You know she’s just a con they probably hired from the local psychic shop right?

Garret: Babe, I’m trying to be romantic for a second, please let me talk.

Anna: *cheeky grin* Okay…

Garret: Um, well…I was thinking on the train back, uh…we’re too young to get engaged, but, uh…would you maybe… wannabemineforeverandexchangepromiserings?

Anna: …What?

Garret: I get that we’re too young, but I was just wondering…do you want to exchange promise rings?

She was quiet for a minute or two, my heart was palpitating waiting for her answer. All I could think about was this is it, she’s gonna leave me for being the biggest doofus on the planet, but then she said “Yes.” 

A Few Days Later

Jade: What the hell did I say bitch?

Kaylee: I was just-

Jade: I don’t f*cking care, I said don’t cross my path again and I meant it. Time to get what’s coming to you, you disgusting piece of trash.

*fighting*

Kaylee: F*ck, my eye.

Jade: That’ll teach you, and don’t even think trying to be femme is gonna save you. If I ever see you in the girls’ bathroom again I’m gonna f*cking kill you.

Jade: Listen you two, time to get off the court. It’s time for cheer practice!

Kaylee: You’re not supposed to practice until after school, what are you even doing-

Luna: She didn’t ask what you thought, bitch. She was telling you get off the court!

Jade: What even are you? 

Kaylee: Uh-ummm, I-I’m Kaylee Har-

Jade: I didn’t ask who, you sad little worm, I said what. ‘Cause clearly you aren’t a girl, and you could never be a guy, so what are you even playing at trying to be something you’ll never be. You’re nothing. 

Jade: And don’t you ever cross my path again. You disgust me.

*giggles and flirty whispers*

Yuki: So ya feel like skipping next period and hanging out *wink*

Kaylee: Yuukkiiiiii, you’re already staying the weekend *laughs* I think too much ‘hanging out’ is gonna blow our cover.

Yuki: If I was a guy I’d say ‘I’ve got something else for you to blow’ *hehe*

Kaylee: You’re awful. *giggling* I’m gonna go play some ball with Garret.

Yuki: Oh, so you’ll skip with your twin, but not with your girlfriend?! *grins* Offended!

Kaylee: We have P.E. together, not  skipping. Yeesh, who knew I was dating someone so needy.

Yuki: You love it and you know it.


Garret: NOOOOO!!! How dare you bump my ball!!

Kaylee: Suck it Hargrove! If you wanna win, ya gotta play dirty. 

Garret: Who even thought about playing BUMP? 

Kaylee: You did loser.

*laughter*

???: Hey bitch!
