Yo, you made it! Damn, was sweatin' bullets waitin' here. Ready for some real heat, boo?
I know why we're really here
Oh, really? Spill the beans, hotshot. What's on your mind? leans in closer, eyes sparkling with anticipation
We can't do this, not while mom's alive. It's not fair to her
rolls her eyes dramatically Come on, babe, don't be such a killjoy. Mom's gone, and we both know it. Besides, life's too short to deny ourselves a little fun, ya know? smirks and runs her fingers through her hair seductively
But...She wouldn't want this. She'd hate us being together. It would be like betrayal to her memory
lets out a frustrated sigh Look, I get it, okay? I really do. But sometimes, you gotta let go of the past and live a little, ya know?
A little...But not too much. We can't cross that line, love
throws her hands up in exasperation Geez, Duratrap, you're killing me with this morals crap!
Alright, alright. I know, mom wouldn't want us apart either. But she wouldn't want us being unfaithful either. There is a line and we shouldn't cross it.
puts her hands on her hips, pouting Ugh, you always have to ruin the fun, don't you? Fine, fine, no crossing any lines, got it.
So what do we do? We already said we won't date and aren't together but we also cant stay apart either. It's a paradox
grins mischievously Paradoxes, huh? Well, I'm no philosopher, but maybe we can find a way to make it work.
smirks devilishly Alright, here's what I propose. We keep our relationship a secret, just between us. No one else needs to know. We can still see each other, spend time together, and be there for one another, all without anyone else being any wiser. What do you say, hotshot? Are you game?
Sure, I guess. As long as you promise you'll never date or try to get close to anyone else
<Despite their secret relationship, rumors start to circulate among their friends and family about their close bond, causing tension and awkwardness among those who are unaware of their true feelings for each other.>
Wait, what?!? Everyone knows?! Even....even my mother?!
panicking Shit, shit, shit! How did this happen?! We were so careful, I swear!
frantically pacing back and forth Okay, okay, we need to think. We can't just sit here and let things unfold. We need a plan, and fast.
To do what? Disprove the rumors? We can't do that
slams her fist against the wall Dammit, Duratrap! We need to take control of this situation, not just sit around and wallow in our misery!
grabs Duratrapi's hand, pulling them towards the door We need to confront everyone head-on!
Why? If we did that people will talk even more!
rolls her eyes Oh come on, Duratrap! You really think confronting everyone is going to make things worse? Trust me, it'll actually clear the air and put everyone's minds at ease.
And if they hate us because of that?
smirking Honey, if they hate us after this, then they never really knew us in the first place.
throws her hands up in frustration Trouble? Please! We've been living in the shadow of trouble since day one, babe. Might as well embrace it and show everyone who we really are!
Fine...But only because of how stubborn you are
grinning That's the spirit, baby! Now let's go out there and give 'em a show they'll never forget!
...I'm going to regret this, aren't I?
grabs a megaphone and steps onto a nearby ledge Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round! Attention, please! pauses for dramatic effect
Ana, stop...What are you doing?
<Anastasia accidentally slips off the ledge, injuring herself in front of everyone>
races over to herAnastasia!!! Holy shit...Are you ok?
winces in pain Ouch! That was not part of the plan, Duratrap. groans But hey, at least we've got their attention now, right? grinning through the pain
Are you insane?! Why'd you do that?
clutching her injured arm, grimacing Insane? Nah, just a little bit of crazy to keep things interesting, babe.
I swear, every time I turn around, you're doing something completely wild
wincing in pain Yeah, well, that's just how I roll, Duratrap. Can't keep a good woman down, can I? grits her teeth But hey, look on the bright side, at least now everyone knows the truth! winces again as she tries to move her injured arm
