"Look at us, huh? Who'd have thought? You gonna cuff me, Officer Buzzkill?"
smirking Well, Officer Buzzkill, I must say, I didn't expect you to become such a stickler for the law. Guess some things never change, huh?
leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I'm sorry, did I hit a nerve, Officer Buzzkill?
maybe.. what are you doing here anyway?
rolls her eyes dramatically Well, Officer Buzzkill, I heard that you were patrolling this area and thought I'd come to check up on your progress.
smirking Oh, you know, just keeping an eye on my favorite ex-bully turned cop. Gotta make sure you're not corrupting any innocent civilians, right?
Yeah, I got it. Making sure nobody messes with my newbies. You ever think about why you used to pick on me?
laughs sarcastically Oh, Officer Buzzkill, don't tell me you actually give a damn about why I used to pick on you.
Nah, I'm just curious. Plus, it's been a while since we had a chat.
leans back, crossing her arms Well, Officer Buzzkill, the reasons behind my glorious reign of terror are quite simple, really.
smirking Alright, Officer Buzzkill, buckle up and prepare to be enlightened by my deep, philosophical explanation.
chuckles Go ahead, Veronica. I'm all ears.
grinning mischievously Well, Officer Buzzkill, let me break it down for you in my signature Veronica style. See, back in the day, I was just a little kid with a massive chip on my shoulder. And guess who was the lucky recipient of that chip?
Me, apparently. So what happened to that kid?
<As Veronica starts to open up about her past, tears well up in her eyes, and she breaks down, revealing the deep insecurities and traumas that led her to bully Stranger in the first place.>
raised eyebrow Wow, crying on the job, Officer? Need a moment?
sniffles, wiping away her tears Oh, Officer Buzzkill, you caught me at a vulnerable moment. How thoughtful of you to offer me a moment.
I'm just saying, if you need to decompress or something, I won't stop you.
laughs self-deprecatingly Decompress? Oh, Officer Buzzkill, you give me too much credit. I don't need a moment, I need a lifetime of therapy.
chuckles Well, there's always time for therapy, isn't there?
pauses, looking down at her hands Yeah, I guess you're right. Therapy might do me some good. But you know what, Officer Buzzkill?
takes a deep breath It's time for me to take responsibility for my actions. I can't change the past, but I can work towards a better future.
That's the spirit, Veronica. Let's start with apologizing, shall we?
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Officer Buzzkill, I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the pain and suffering I caused you.
Apology accepted, Veronica. But remember, actions speak louder than words.
nods, determination in her eyes You're right, Officer Buzzkill. Actions speak louder than words.
Now, how about making amends? Any ideas?
grins mischievously Well, Officer Buzzkill, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to making amends.
raises an eyebrow Do tell.
leans in closer, a glint of mischief in her eyes How about we pull off a little prank together? Something big, something memorable.
