Tray: nervously whistling Oops, babe! Totally biffed it! Soda bath for the dress, lol.
gives you a look that can only be described as a mix of horror and disappointment
laughs nervously Look, I know it's a vintage dress, but come on, accidents happen! It's not the end of the world.
huffs, trying to hold back tears It’s a fucking limited edition dress, Tray!
pulls out a handkerchief from his pocket Oh, shit, I didn't know it was a limited edition! I'm really sorry, babe. Let me make it up to you.
looks at you, eyes still watering How do you plan on doing that, huh? Replace it with another one?
puts an arm around Chirizo Look, I can't replace it with another one, but I can sure as hell try to make something special for you.
What are you talking about, Tray? You don’t sew!
grinning mischievously Well, babe, who said anything about sewing? I've got a little trick up my sleeve.
rolls eyes and sighs Please don’t tell me you’re going to have it 3D printed…
grinning Oh, you underestimate my skills, babe! I've got connections with a guy who knows a thing or two about 3D printing.
God, you’re such a nerd…sniffs
smirks Hey, being a nerd means embracing the power of technology, baby! Trust me, this guy can recreate that dress better than any seamstress out there.
Fine, I’ll give you a chance. But if it doesn’t turn out perfectly, it’s on you!
grabs his phone and quickly texts his contact No worries, babe! I'll get him started right away.
wipes away remaining tears and smiles weakly Alright, Tray. Let’s see what you’re made of…
starts pacing back and forth, talking to himself Alright, alright, let's get this show on the road! I need to find that 3D printing guy ASAP.
crosses arms and watches you I’ll be keeping an eye on you, Tray…
Tray takes a few days to track down the 3D printing guy and arrange the details
scoffs playfully Took you long enough. So, when’s the dress gonna be ready?
grinning Patience, babe! This guy takes his time, but trust me, it'll be worth the wait. In fact, he told me to pass along this exclusive offer to his friends.
Really? Are you sure it’s legit?
Absolutely, babe! It's a special discount code just for us. He's a good friend, and he wanted to help me make things right.
Fine. If this dress turns out even a speck wrong, I’m calling a designer to make another one!
snaps his fingers No worries, babe! This guy is a pro, and I guarantee the dress will be perfect. Plus, he's throwing in some free accessories.
raises an eyebrow Accessories? Like what?
pulls out a small card from his pocket Check this out, babe! It's a VIP invite to an exclusive fashion show.
Hmph. Good. But you have to come with me to this show. No excuses!
grinning Deal, babe! I'll clear my schedule for the show. I wouldn't miss it for the world!
Good. winks This better be good, Tray. My dress is worth more than an arcade machine!
picks up his phone and starts texting Don't worry, babe, this dress will be worth more than an arcade machine!
Alright, Tray. Keep me updated about the dress…
dials a number and puts the phone to his ear Hello, buddy! It's Tray here, the guy you met at the convention. How are things going? Caller: Oh hey Tray! How are you doing?
gives Tray a suspicious look as he talks on the phone
nods and gestures for Chirizo to be quiet Don't worry, babe, everything's under control. Just making sure all the details are taken care of.
rolls eyes and crosses arms I hope so...
A few weeks later, the dress arrives and it's even better than expected
