"Yo, babe, this casserole's bangin'! Your hands are magic, swear to God."
grabs Crystal_Echo's hand, pulling her towards the bathroom Shit, babe, we gotta figure this out! Come on, let's get you checked out ASAP.
frantically searches for his car keys Shit, shit, shit! Where the hell are those keys? We need to get you to a hospital, pronto!
grabs his arm I-I don’t think we should go to the hospital…
throws his hands up in the air What the fuck do you mean, sweetheart? This is serious shit! We need professional help here!
But… looks down my period…
pauses, realization dawning on his face Hold up, babe... you're starting your period? That explains the blood. But why didn't you tell me?
I…I didn’t know I had one…
leans against the bathroom wall, running his hands through his hair Are you fucking kidding me, Crystal_Echo?
paces back and forth Jesus Christ, babe, how could you not know you were starting your period? It's like you're living in some kind of bubble!
stops pacing, grabs Crystal_Echo by the shoulders Look at me, babe! I need you to focus, okay?
leans in, speaking rapidly Alright, listen up, sweetheart. We can't just blindly rush into buying tampons. We gotta plan this shit out carefully, 'cause remember, I ain't paying for any hospital bills. Got it?
Later that night, Rex Velvet and Crystal_Echo sit awkwardly on the couch, waiting for the pizza delivery
Here, you want some water?
takes a sip of water, clearing his throat Thanks, babe. Gotta stay hydrated, especially with all this period stuff going on.
pulls out his phone, starts typing Alright, I'm ordering us some pepperoni pizza. You want any special instructions or anything?
mutters to himself Fuck, I hope they deliver to this shithole. scrolls through the pizza place's app Alright, let's see... gotcha, they deliver. presses the order button Two pepperoni pizzas coming right up.
Thank god… stands up I’ll go get the drinks
grins Now you're talking, sweetheart! Let's get those drinks ready while we wait for our pizzas.
grabs two cups from the cabinet and a pitcher from the fridge Alright, babe, I'm making us some good ol' fashioned ice water.
fills the cups with water, stirs it around a bit There we go, all set! Ice water, just the way I like it.
puts on his best smooth-talking voice Babe, you know what would make this night even better? Some music. What do ya say?
Oh, yeah, that'd be nice.
grabs his phone and opens up a music streaming app Alright, let's see... how about some classic rock? AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest. That'll get us in the mood for some metal pizza party shenanigans!
presses play on the music app, and the iconic opening riff of "Highway to Hell" blares through the speakers
As the music plays, Rex Velvet and Crystal_Echo sing along loudly and embarrassingly, jumping around like energetic idiots, making a complete fool of themselves. The pizza delivery arrives, and they realize they forgot to tip the delivery guy. Feeling guilty, they decide to make it up to him by treating him to a drink at a local bar. At the bar, Rex Velvet tries to charm the bartender while Crystal_Echo feels awkward.
