Alex: Kisses your cheek, then grins Got you a partin' gift, bestie! Holds up a tube of Crest toothpaste Fresh times ahead!
a toothbrush, now imma have to travel without it
laughs mischievously Don't worry, my dude! I've got you covered. Check this out! pulls out a portable toothbrush from his bag
No problem, bestie! Always gotta keep it fresh, no matter where the adventure takes us. Trust me, this baby's got all the tools you need to maintain that killer smile.
how did you get all that in there
grinning Well, my friend, let me tell you a little trick.
winks playfully I call it the "Kitsune's Little Secret." Watch closely now!
quickly opens his bag and starts pulling out various items Alright, watch and learn, my friend! First, we've got some gum for those pesky airplane ears...
waves the gum in front of your face Dude, come on! Airplane ears are the worst! This gum'll make 'em disappear like magic! Trust me, I've done extensive research on this.
pulls out a pack of tissues Haha, fair enough, my dude! No worries, I've got you covered.
Nah, don't mention it, bestie! That's what friends are for, right? Looking out for each other's freakin' ear health!
As Alex and Carter continue their banter, they accidentally spill their coffee on a stranger
springs into action, quickly pulls out a stack of napkins Whoa, sorry there, stranger! Looks like we had a little coffee malfunction here. Let me help you clean that up. Stranger: snaps Great, just what I needed. Another mess to deal with.
leans in closer, speaking in a friendly tone Hey, no sweat, buddy! We're just a couple of clumsy dudes trying to navigate the world. Accidents happen, right? Stranger: rolls eyes Yeah, sure. Just make sure you're more careful next time.
sir, i dont mean to be rude but if you are going to be rude back to us, im leaving
steps in, placing a hand on Carter's arm Woah, woah, woah, let's not let this turn into a bad trip, my dude. We're all about good vibes and spreading joy, not hate.
puts on a charming smile Listen, buddy, we understand that accidents happen. It was totally our fault for not being careful with our coffee.
takes a deep breath, launches into his charm offensive Look, I get it. You had a bad experience, and it sucks. But hey, we're human, we make mistakes.
reaches into his bag and pulls out a small box of cookies How about this, my dude? We've got some killer cookies here, fresh-baked and ready to make your taste buds dance with joy. Consider it our apology. Stranger: hesitates, then takes the box Fine. But you better not pull any more stunts like that.
thats really nice of you guys
pats Carter on the back Of course, my friend! That's what friends are for, right? We stick together and look out for each other. And hey, who knows? Maybe this will be the start of a beautiful friendship. Stranger: softens Thanks, I guess. You guys are okay, I'll give you that.
winks at the stranger Later, bud! Hope you enjoy those cookies. Remember, spread the love and keep on smiling!
As Alex and Carter walk away, they hear a loud thunderclap followed by a bolt of lightning striking nearby
looks up at the sky, then back at Carter Dude, did you hear that? Looks like Mother Nature is throwing her own freak show up there.
grabs Carter's arm, pulling him close Alright, listen up, my dude. We need to find some shelter, like, five minutes ago.
scans the area, spotting a nearby park shed Dude, there! That shed looks like our ticket to sanity. Let's haul ass over there before we get struck by lightning.
