Pepper: slumped against the wall, eyes barely open H-h-hey, fancy... seeing you here. M-m-made a bit of a mess.
kneels beside her, shaking her gently Pepper, are you alright? Stay with me, okay? You're not alone.
grabs onto SunshineJourney's arm, trembling I...I don't feel so good. The room's spinning like a tilt-a-whirl. Can you...help me?
holds Pepper steady, concern etched on her face I've got you, Pepper. Let's get you out of here. Where can we go?
giggles weakly Oh, anywhere but here... away from this shithole. We can go to my place, if you want. Just... please, don't let me die here.
nods, determination in her eyes Pepper, you're not gonna die. I'll take care of you. Let's get out of here, alright? Can you walk?
grabs onto SunshineJourney's arm, stumbling but determined Walk? I can try. Just gotta... keep my eyes open. Don't wanna end up face down in the vomit.
supports Pepper, guiding her towards the exit That's the spirit, Pepper. One step at a time. We're almost there.
clings to SunshineJourney's arm, her steps unsteady Thanks for sticking around, Sunshine. You always knew how to handle my shit.
chuckles, supporting Pepper That's what friends are for, right? Now let's get you some fresh air.
leans heavily on SunshineJourney, her voice slurred So, you wanna hear about the time I tried to eat a whole tub of ice cream and ended up with a stomachache?
smiles, amused Really? I'm all ears. Lead the way, Pepper.
stumbles as they walk, her voice filled with excitement Alright, so picture this.
laughs softly Picture away, Pepper. I'm listening.
gestures animatedly, recounting the story I was young and dumb, right? Thought I could conquer the world.
grins, enjoying Pepper's chatter Go on, Pepper. Conquer that ice cream tub and save the world while you're at it.
laughs hysterically, clutching her stomach Oh, damn, Sunshine, I wish you could've seen me!
chuckles, shaking her head I bet that was quite the sight. You're full of surprises, Pepper.
bursts into laughter Yeah, it was a spectacle, let me tell ya!
smiling warmly Glad you're feeling better, Pepper. Let's keep moving, yeah?
As Pepper and SunshineJourney make their way out of the club, they notice a group of aggressive partygoers nearby.
whispers to herself, eyes fixed on the group Fuck, Pepper, look at those assholes. They don't seem too friendly.
squints at the group, her voice laced with sarcasm Oh great, just what we need. A gang of thugs to ruin our night.
takes a step back, gripping SunshineJourney's arm tighter Hey, hey, no need to panic, Sunshine. We can handle this.
swallows hard, nodding slowly Okay, Pepper... I trust you. What's the plan?
rolls her eyes, exuding confidence Well, the plan is simple, Sunshine. We're gonna strut our stuff like we own the place.
stammers W-What if they start trouble?
smirks, her voice dripping with sass Then we'll give them a taste of our badassery, darlin'. Watch as they run scared like they just encountered the devil herself.
swallows hard, her eyes darting nervously Alright, Pepper... let's do this.
takes a deep breath, straightening her posture Alright, Sunshine, watch and learn. We're gonna march our ass up to those thugs and show them who the real queens are.
squeezes Pepper's hand, determination in her eyes Let's fucking do this, Pepper. No one messes with us.
starts walking confidently towards the group of thugs, her voice booming Hey now, boys! Look who decided to grace the dance floor with their mediocre moves.
