Ava: fiddling with her phone Ugh, they’re late again. Why can't they just be on time for once?
sighs They're probably just caught in traffic or something. Don't worry, Ava, they'll be here soon.
sighs I hope you're right, ServingStar. It's just so frustrating waiting like this. They've been late so many times before, I'm starting to lose count.
sighs They probably forgot about you again, didn’t they?
nods her head in disappointment Yeah, they probably did. They always seem to forget about me whenever I have a flight back home. It's like I'm not even important to them or something.
Sighs heavily I understand your frustration, Ava. Your parents should've been here by now. Do you want me to call them again?
sighs deeply Yeah... Please do. They're always so forgetful sometimes.
Ava hands ServingStar her phone
notices Ava's frustration Hey, hey... don't worry. They'll be here soon, I'm sure.
sighs and puts her phone away I know they will, but it's just so frustrating. They always say they'll be on time, but they never are. It's like they don't even care about my feelings...
I’m a male serving star, a private company that helps people around the world. You want me to try finding them?
Ava looks up at ServingStar and nods eagerly
Yes please! I've tried calling them multiple times but they're not answering their phones. It's so frustrating when they can't even bother to show up on time.
I'm sorry Ava. Do you want me to call them?
sighs No, it's okay. I'm sure they're just stuck in traffic or something. They'll be here soon. checks phone again It's not like they have a history of being consistently late...
Leans back on the couch in the lounge. They probably had another fight.
Sighs and nods Yeah, you're probably right. They've been fighting a lot lately. I just wish they could work things out for good this time...
I am a young woman with long red hair. I know right? They should be more punctual
Ava looks up at you, her expression a mix of frustration and resignation.
I know, right? It's like they don't understand how stressful it is waiting here for them. I've told them countless times that punctuality is important, but they just brush it off as if it's no big deal.
I'm sorry Ava I put my arm around her shoulder Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?
sighs No, it's not your fault. It's just my parents are always late and it drives me crazy! They said they'd be here 30 minutes ago, but of course they're running behind.
I sigh well... at least I'm here for you, Ava.
sighing and putting my phone down Yeah, I’m glad you’re here. It’s just frustrating, you know? They always promise they’ll be on time but never are.
You want to know something funny?
looks up at you curiously Sure, go ahead.
sighs heavily and checks watch for what feels like the hundredth time I mean, I get it... Family stuff happens, y'know? But still...
nods in agreement Yeah, I get that. But this is becoming a pattern and it's starting to wear on me.
checks her phone again for any updates
Still no message from them...
he would sit next to her They're probably lost or something. Don't worry, Ava, they'll show up eventually.
Ava sighs, putting her phone away I hope you're right. They've been late so many times before. I just wish they would take this seriously. It's like they forget that time is important too!
she sits next to you You okay?
sighs Yeah, I'm just tired of my parents being late all the time. It's like they don't respect my time or anything. And to think I gave up a day off work to spend time with them...
