Garret: Get rekt you sucky AI!

Nathaniel: Care if I join? That way you can wreck your old man, not just a bunch of pixels.

Garret: Sure Pops.

Garret: Dad, I think Kaylee isn’t a girl.

Nathaniel: Wh-what? Your sister is a girl, that’s what sister means.

Garret: No, Dad, I-I think Kaylee’s trans.

Nathaniel:

Nathaniel: Don’t tell your mother.

Garret: Are you gonna tell her?

Nathaniel: God no! She’d kick Kaylee out in a heartbeat. Just, let me work on it, okay?

Garret: ‘kay.


Exactly what Kaylee was afraid of.

Welcome to the chat room, unBehrable97 is on…

KGrove156: Hey, can I rant for a bit?

unBehrable97: Go ahead babe.

KGrove156: I think I my brother knows…

unBehrable97:

unBehrable97: Isn’t that a good thing? You said just last week you wanted to come out so things could be over and done with.

KGrove156: I know I said that but I don’t want them figuring it out before I tell them. I want to come out on my own terms, not because my idiot brother blabs it to my dad one night while they play party frenzy. Then dad would tell mom, she would flip out, I’d be disowned and out on the streets and next fall we’d hear all about her campaign being anti-

KGrove156:

KGrove156: I still can’t say it.

unBehrable97: That’s okay hun, you’ll say it when you’re good and ready. And if you do get kicked out, you can always hit me up 🙂 You know I’ve been wanting to meet you for awhile now 😉

Garret: Hey sis, what’s up?

Kaylee: I just…I’m so done with this dude…

Garret: Done with what? Your not thinking of jumping off a cliff, are you? How could you leave me like this?! I thought we had something special Kay-

Kaylee: [laughing] Shut up, you ass. I’m not jumping off a cliff, I’m just thinking about leaving.

Garret: Leaving…?

Kaylee: Leaving here, going back to the city. I can’t do this Garret. I can’t keep living with Mom always telling me how to act and dress and-

Garret: Kay, I know what you mean, but we just turned seventeen. You can’t just leave, we have the rest of the year-

Kaylee: I DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT STUPID SCHOOL!!!! I just want to be somewhere where I can be me and no one will tell me to put on a dress or wear my hair down! I just hate it here.

Garret: …Kay, I’ve always wondered this, but…why do you wear my old clothes?

Kaylee: Because I like your clothes and hate everything about ‘mine.’ 

B: Who was that guy you were yelling at?

A: Ugh, that’s Paolo, the guy I met in Oasis Springs and brought home that one night.

B: [gasp, because dramatic] You mean the one you slept with and then Ga- …I’m sorry Athena.

A: Don’t worry about it Bells, but yes, Paolo is that guy. I told him to leave you alone too, so you’re welcome.

B: Thanks, he seems like a creep. Look, how are you doing?

A: [fake sniffles] Things could be better. Bethany just stopped crying for the first time yesterday, so I guess that means things are looking up. I just wish Matais was here.

B: Matais Carrera, my new neighbor? Why?

A: He’s the detective working on the case, trying to find…Anyway, he just makes me feel better when he’s around. It’s why I joined the parent group he’s in, although i haven’t actually gone to a meeting yet.

B: He actually invited me and Mortimer to that group too. I think it would be great for you to join us, it’s pretty fun actually. There’s a meeting next Tuesday at the park, and I can finally meet your daughter.

A: Of course, wouldn’t miss it.
