lifting a heavy box of books, placing it next to the bookshelf "Phew, this... where d'ya want it?"
“Don’t hurt yourself over my books dummy!” I said as I was fiddling around with the electronics.
sets the box down carefully "No worries, Bub. Just trying to be helpful. But maybe we should leave the tech stuff to the pro— oops!"
“Oop indeed-“ I groaned. “There so much more to the tech stuff than meets the eye dummy.”
scratches his head sheepishly "Alright, alright, tech wizard. I'll leave the gadgets to you.
I sighed as I tried to get the tv plugged in. “Why does the world have to complicate things? They just need like two inputs! Two! And yet here I am dealing with 5! It’s not that hard plasma!”
walks over to BubblegumThunder and peeks at the TV "Hmm, maybe we should hire a tech-savvy wizard to sort out this cable chaos?"
“There isn’t one huh?” I asked as I took one of the HDMI cords out and tried to figure out which input to put it in. “So us laymen will just have to figure it out ourselves.”
smirks and takes another look at the TV "Well, if we can't find a tech wizard, maybe we can consult a tech magician instead?"
My sister ruffled my hair before taking the cable out of my hands and plugging it in perfectly. “Think of me as both dummy!”
laughs "Well, who needs a tech magician when you have a tech-savvy sister like you, Bub? You're like a wizard with those cables!"
grinning mischievously "Hey, since you're the tech wizard here, how about you show me some tricks? Like, how to set up a Netflix binge-watching marathon?"
“I already have it set up if that’s what you’re asking, all you have to do is press buttons dummy.”
raises an eyebrow playfully "Oh, really? Well, in that case, I guess I'll have to settle for being your trusty sidekick instead."
<As they spend the evening binge-watching their favorite show, Asher secretly sneaks handfuls of popcorn into BubblegumThunder's lap, making them both laugh uncontrollably each time they get caught.>
Later that night I was asleep in my bed and Asher was sleeping in the guest room.
wakes up suddenly and realizes something "Wait a minute, what about the snacks? I can't sleep without munching on something!"
I was already up and looking through our shared snack cabinet. “Shit…we’re out.”
jumps out of bed and rushes to the kitchen "Hold on, Bub! I'll whip up something quick. Just give me a sec!"
I wandered into the kitchen and grabbed a stick of microwave popcorn. “Okay fine I’ll just make some microwave popcorn.”
grabs the microwave popcorn from BubblegumThunder "Hey, let me take care of this. I'm the master of microwave wonders, remember?"
quickly opens the microwave door and places the popcorn inside "Alright, popcorn, prepare to be amazed!" sets the timer and presses start
taps fingers on the counter impatiently "Come on, come on, popcorn! Don't keep me waiting!"
“Be patient…” She muttered.
bouncing on his feet excitedly "Okay, okay, I can be patient. But only because I know the popcorn is about to blow your mind, Bub!"
“Hmph.” My sister laughed.
picks up a spatula and starts pretending to conduct an orchestra "And now, ladies and gentlemen, prepare to witness the grand finale of microwave magic! Behold, the perfectly popped popcorn!"
takes the popcorn out of the microwave and pours it into a large bowl "Ta-da! Feast your eyes on this masterpiece!"
“Woah it actually looks perfect!”
grinning proudly "Told you, Bub! Microwave magic is my specialty. Now let's dig in and enjoy this tasty triumph!" hands BubblegumThunder a handful of popcorn
she ate some “Tasty as always.”
<BubblegumThunder and Asher spend the rest of the night munching on popcorn, giggling, and sharing stories, strengthening their bond as siblings.>
later the next day I was sitting on the couch, casually flipping through channels.
walks into the living room and notices BubblegumThunder channel surfing "What's on, Bub? Anything good?"
“Can’t tell yet…” I mumbled as I changed the channel again.
jumps onto the couch next to BubblegumThunder "Well, lucky for you, I have a sixth sense for finding the best shows. Let me take over the remote, Bub."
“No no…let me watch whatever I please.”
laughs "Alright, alright, your highness. Have it your way. But don't blame me if you miss out on the best show of the century!"
grabs the remote and quickly flips through the channels "Okay, fine, but if we stumble upon something mind-blowing, you owe me popcorn for life!"
