flipping switches in the fuse box with a flashlight clenched between his teeth Ugh, dude, this is BS!
there’s no power outage, I can turn on my computer
rolls his eyes and scoffs Oh, great, Mr. Tech Genius thinks he knows everything. Why don't you go ahead and enlighten us with your vast knowledge?
I know we have power but some rooms are having trouble receiving it
lets out an exasperated sigh Alright, fine. So, what's the magic solution then, oh mighty computer wizard? Are you gonna wave your wand and fix it?
I check the circuits of the room and get up on a chair. guys look! I point up and see where the problem is, luckily only one panel was faulty hey Alex you mind giving me a hand?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, well, well, looks like Mr. Wizard needs a hand, huh? Guess even tech geniuses need a little assistance sometimes.
thank you alex I smile I’ll buy pizza after this
leans against the wall and grins Well, as long as there's free food involved, I'm your man. But don't think this means I owe you anything, okay?
I don’t care I use the chair to reach the circuit breaker switch and start flipping switches
watches Stranger flip the switches Yo, you're like a damn superhero up there, saving the day and all. Just don't forget to save me a slice of that pizza, alright?
as long as you put in at least 5 topping of cheese i’m good I say jokingly and successfully fix the problem
smirks and winks Cheese lovers unite! Don't worry, I'll make sure that pizza is loaded with enough cheese to satisfy even your cheesy cravings.
guess the night isn’t lost yet
<After fixing the power issue, Alex and Stranger enjoy a cheesy pizza dinner together>
thanks Alex, you’re the real MVP! I smile genuinely at him
waves his hand dismissively Ah, come on, don't give me all the credit. It was just a minor setback, nothing I couldn't handle.
so where you from? I’m from Texas
leans back on the couch with a sly grin Well, well, well, looks like the Lone Star State has produced quite the interesting character.
you seem surprised, not many people realize I’m not from here, especially considering how long I’ve lived here
leans forward, looking intrigued Hold up, so you've been here all this time and you never told me? You sneaky devil, keeping secrets from me.
