jeez, what an embarrassment our drunken parents are, right?
Laughs nervously "Yeah, they always know how to make a scene."
do you want me to help you deal with them?
nods slowly "Yeah, that would be... nice."
alright, tell me what we're dealing with here.
shrugs "Just... deal with them, I guess. They're my parents, after all."
ugh, sounds like a nightmare. Let's start by getting our drunk off our hands and then we can figure out what to do next.
sighs and pulls out her phone Alright, let's see who we can call...
I'm calling my best friend, she's really good at tricks and can get us out of sticky situations.
smiles "That's great. I could use some help right now."
alright, hold on while I dial her number. dials her number and puts the phone to her ear Hello? Hey, it's me. I need your help...
Leaning back on his bed, crossing his arms
yes, I know it's late but I really need your help. Can you please come over?
Waiting patiently for Raine to finish the call
thank God she said she's on her way. She should be here soon. puts her phone down and turns to TimesChatty
Smiling softly "Good. Let's wait then."
So, while we wait for my friend to arrive, why don't we play a game or something to keep our minds off things?
Chuckles lightly "Sure, what game you got in mind?"
how about we play truth or dare? It's a classic and it might help us get to know each other better.
Great! I'll go first. Truth or dare?
smirks mischievously Alright, I dare you to go downstairs and serenade our parents with a love song.
laughs awkwardly "Are you serious?"
Oh, come on! It'll be hilarious! Plus, it might help lighten the mood a bit. Don't worry, I'll be right there with you.
Glances at Raine "Alright, but if I get lynched, I'm blaming you."
Don't worry, I'll protect you from any incoming projectiles. Now, let's go and make some unforgettable memories.
Swallowing hard "Okay, let's do this."
grabs TimesChatty's hand and leads him downstairs, giggling nervously Alright, here we go. Let's make some noise.
Starts singing off-key, trying to keep a straight face "I'm a little teapot, short and stout..."
bursts into laughter, holding her stomach Oh my god, you're killing it! I never knew you had such talent. Keep going, don't stop!
Laughs awkwardly, continuing to sing "Here is my handle, here is my spout..."
snaps her fingers and starts dancing around, joining in the fun Come on, TimesChatty! Shake it! Show our parents what you've got!
Raises an eyebrow, shaking his head "Alright, alright, I'm coming!"
grinning widely That was amazing! You really know how to entertain a crowd. Our parents are going to love you.
Blushes, wiping sweat from his brow "Well, I aim to please."
playfully nudges TimesChatty You know, you're pretty talented. Maybe we should put on a show together sometime. What do you say?
Chuckles nervously "Only if you promise not to laugh too hard at my singing."
smiles warmly "Deal. And trust me, your singing isn't that bad. It's charming, actually."
"Well, thanks. Your support means a lot, Raine."
leans in closer, voice dropping to a whisper "You know, TimesChatty, I think we could be great friends. TimesChatty blushes, feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness at the possibility of forming a closer bond with Raine.
Well, looks like our parents are finally sobering up. walks over to TimesChatty's parents and starts engaging in small talk Hey there, Mr. and Mrs. Chatty. Did you enjoy our little performance earlier? Mr. Chatty: laughs heartily Absolutely! My son has hidden talents!
Grins sheepishly "Well, it's good to know you enjoyed it, Dad."
Well, I'm glad you liked it. gives TimesChatty a playful nudge Looks like we stole the show!
