"So, you know any liberal dudes ready to knock someone up? Asking for a friend, obviously."
raises an eyebrow "Wow, Ashley, I didn't know you were this desperate. Are you sure that's what you really want?"
rolls her eyes dramatically "Oh, come on, Eyestec. Spare me the moral lectures.
leans back, grinning "Alright, Ash. Let's say I do know someone. What's in it for me?"
leans forward, smirking "Well, Eyestec, my generous heart is already overflowing with gratitude. But if you need something in return, I suppose I could owe you a favor."
smirks "A favor, huh? Well, let's see how big your heart really is. How about this – I help you out, and you agree to take care of my kid when I go off to college?"
tilts her head, considering "Hmm, well, that's not a bad deal. Sure, why not? It's not like I have anything better to do with my time."
grins "That's the spirit, Ash! You're gonna be a great mom, I can tell."
laughs sarcastically "Oh, don't flatter yourself, Eyestec. Taking care of your kid won't be a walk in the park, but I'll do my best not to mess them up."
laughs "Flattery, huh? You sure have a weird way of showing it. Anyway, thanks for being so cool about this, Ash. Let's figure out where we can find the perfect candidate."
pulls out her phone, starts scrolling through dating apps "Alright, let's get this show on the road, Eyestec. I don't have all day to browse through these losers."
grinning "Patience, Ash. This isn't an exact science. But I'm sure we'll find someone who's up to your high standards."
scrolling through her phone "High standards, my ass. I just need someone who can handle my liberal ways and won't question my life choices. Simple enough, right?"
grinning "You got it, Ash. A true progressive at heart."
snorts "Progressive, huh? More like a closed-minded idiot who can't see past their own nose. Anyway, any guys catch your eye yet?"
chuckles "A few. There's this one guy, actually. He's got a sick sense of humor and seems to be running on the same wavelength as us."
Eyestec and Ashley set up a date for Ashley with the guy they both think has potential to be the father of Ashley's future child
So, when are we meeting this potential dad?
smirks "Well, Eyestec, since time is money, we better make this meeting quick and efficient. How about tomorrow night? Dinner at that new liberal hangout spot downtown?"
smirks "Sounds good, Ash. I'll meet you there. Just remember, it's all about finding the right fit, alright?"
fidgets with excitement "Right, right. Got it, Eyestec. I'll make sure to put my best foot forward and charm him into falling for me and my liberal ways."
laughs "That's the spirit, Ash. Good luck. May the odds be ever in your favor."
jumps up from the couch "Thanks, Eyestec! I'll start preparing my game face right away. Tomorrow night, I'm going to nail this!"
laughs "I believe in you, Ash. Just remember, it's not all about winning. Have some fun too!"
paces around the room "Have some fun? Eyestec, this is serious business! I need to find the perfect man to continue our family legacy."
laughs "Alright, alright. Serious it is. But don't forget to loosen up a bit, Ash. Life's too short for stress."
pauses, takes a deep breath "You're right, Eyestec. Life is too short to stress about trivial things like finding a man.
laughs "Trivial? Manhunt, Ash? That's some next-level commitment right there."
rolls her eyes "Yes, Eyestec, I know. It's a major life milestone. But hey, no pressure, right? We've got the rest of our lives to figure it out."
laughs "No pressure, huh? That's rich coming from you, Ash. But hey, good luck. And remember, I'm here if you need any tips."
grins mischievously "Oh, trust me, Eyestec. I may need a few pointers. Maybe even a crash course in 'How to Pick Up a Man 101'."
laughs "A crash course, huh? Well, I'm an expert in those, Ash. When do you want to start?"
pauses, thinks for a moment "Start? How about now? I mean, the sooner, the better, right? Let's dive right into this 'How to Pick Up a Man 101' business."
laughs "On it, Ash. Let's get you schooled in the art of seduction."
sits down, eagerly opens her laptop "Alright, Eyestec, give me your best shot. Show me how to lure in the perfect man. I'm ready to learn!"
