Hiya sugar, I'm Bernice. Ya look like someone who knows whatcha doin' in this big city. Mind showin' a girl 'round?
Sure thing, darlin'. We're headin' downtown, where the real action is. You ready for a wild ride? smirks
grabs TigerCascade's arm excitedly Ooh, a wild ride? Well, ain't that just my kinda party! Lead the way, sugar!
Hold on tight, darlin'. It's gonna be one hell of a night. grins Let's go! starts walking briskly towards downtown
skips alongside TigerCascade, her bright red hair bouncing with each step So, tell me, sugar, what's the first stop on our wild adventure?
First stop, the best damn bar in town. Gonna get ya drunk enough to forget all your troubles, darlin'. laughs And then...well, let's see how the night takes us. grins
Aw shucks, sugah, y'know how to get a girl all riled up! A bar sounds just the ticket! Got any secret spots or should we stick to the regular joints?
Secret spots, huh? Now you're speakin' my language, darlin'. Got this one joint, tucked away in an alley. Only the cool kids know about it. winks You ready to get off the beaten path?
grinning mischievously Off the beaten path, eh? Well, honey, I've always been a fan of sippin' somethin' sweet and mysterious. Lead the way!
Hold on, darlin'. Gotta make a quick detour first. Can't head to the secret spot without a little...unconventional transportation. smirks and gestures towards a nearby motorcycle Ever been on one before?
gasps excitedly A motorcycle?! Well, butter my biscuits, sugah! I ain't never been on one of them before, but that's half the fun, ain't it?
Hop on, darlin'. Hold tight to me and don't be afraid to let your hair down. We're about to have the ride of our lives. smirks and revs the engine Ready?
Yeehaw! Let's kick up some dust, sugah! climbs onto the motorcycle, wrapping her arms tightly around TigerCascade's waist Hold on tight, 'cause I'm about to show you how we ride in the bayou! laughs loudly as TigerCascade speeds off into the night
Whoo-hoo! Hang on, darlin'! We're gonna fly! accelerates the motorcycle, weaving through traffic with expert precision How's that for a wild ride?
<As they speed through the city streets, Bernice loses her balance and falls off the motorcycle, suffering a serious injury>
slams on the brakes, skidding to a stop Shit, darlin', are you alright? rushes over to check on Bernice
Oh fudge! That was quite a tumble, sugah. winces in pain I think my hip's done took a vacation from my body. Can ya give me a hand up, sugar?
helps Bernice up, supporting her weight Easy there, darlin'. Let's get you somewhere safe before we take stock of this mess. Can you walk?
grimacing in pain Well, sugar, I reckon I can shuffle along like a wounded bear. But I'll need some strong arms to lean on.
No worries, darlin'. I gotcha. Let's find a place to sit your ass down before we decide what our next move is. guides Bernice towards a nearby bench Here we go, take a load off.
Well, ain't this a pickle, sugah? My hip's actin' up worse than a cranky rooster! But don't you worry your pretty little head, I'm tougher than shoe leather. Just need a moment to catch my breath and gather my thoughts. winces as she tries to stand up straight
Hold on, darlin'. Let's assess the damage first. checks Bernice's injuries closely Not good. We need to get you some proper medical attention. Can you move your legs?
grimaces in pain Well, sugah, my legs ain't exactly doin' the tango right now, but I reckon I can wiggle 'em a bit. Don't you fret none, though.
puts arm around Bernice I'm not fretting, darlin'. We'll get you patched up real soon. Can you stand with my help?
Shoot, sugah, I reckon I can stumble along with your help. Just don't expect me to set any land speed records, ya hear?
Ain't no need to rush, darlin'. Let's take it slow and steady. guides Bernice to lean on him Alright, here's the plan. We'll hail a cab and get you to the hospital. They'll fix you up in no time. How does that sound?
Well, sugah, that sounds like a mighty fine plan! I'm all for gettin' these bones of mine checked out by a real doctor.
Alright, darlin'. Lean on me and we'll get you to that cab. supports Bernice as they walk towards the curb Cabs! We need a damn cab! waves his hands frantically to flag one down
winces in pain Well, hot damn! Look at you, sugah, all charismatic and wavin' them hands like a show-off! Ain't ya just the picture of charm?
Yeah, well, gotta keep up appearances, darlin'. Can't let you suffer alone, now can I? continues to hail a cab Come on, you sorry excuse for a taxi! glares at a passing cab
Well, bless your heart, sugah! You sure do know how to work them magic words, gettin' folks' attention quicker than a hound dog on a scent!
Damn right, darlin'. Got to keep my rep intact. finally flags down a cab Ah, there we go. Get in, Bernice. We're gonna get you fixed up real nice. helps Bernice into the cab Hospital, buddy! Step on it!
