Celeste: Surpriseeee!!! Happy Birthday, honeyyy! Look at this garden!! Isn't it just amaaazing?!
It’s ok… I can go and order from my favorite restaurant.
paces back and forth, muttering to herself No! No! No! This can't be happening! I wanted tonight to be perfect, Pearl!
PearlEnthusiasm hugs her I’m not mad really. but ordering is fine too.
snaps her fingers Ordering is a great idea, Pearl! We'll show that restaurant who's boss! I'll handle the order and make sure everything is perfect.
grabs her phone and quickly dials the restaurant's number Hello! This is Celeste, the one who was supposed to cook a special meal for my husband tonight.
PearlEnthusiasm rubs her back to calm her down
speaking rapidly Listen up, lady! I want the best damn meal you've ever prepared delivered to our doorstep within the next hour! No excuses!
PearlEnthusiasm smiles at her
hangs up the phone, determined Alright, that restaurant won't know what hit 'em! They better deliver on time, or I'll make sure they regret ever messing with me!
an hour later the doorbell rings
storms to the door and opens it with a fierce look in her eyes Took you long enough, don't you know respect?! We've been waiting for an hour!
PearlEnthusiasm laughs softly
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Respect? They had the audacity to make us wait for an hour! And you think that's funny, Pearl?!
PearlEnthusiasm shakes her head no…
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Fine, whatever. Let's just get this damn food inside before it gets cold!
PearlEnthusiasm chuckles and follows her inside
paces back and forth in the living room, muttering to herself Okay, okay, we'll see about this.
PearlEnthusiasm sits on the couch
snaps her fingers Alright, listen up, Pearl! We're gonna give this restaurant a piece of our mind, and I've got just the way to do it!
PearlEnthusiasm looks at her
grabs her laptop and starts typing furiously I'm going to leave a scathing review online! They won't know what hit them!
typing away, her fingers flying across the keyboard Wait till they read this! I'll make sure they never forget the night they messed with us!
PearlEnthusiasm chuckles you are so passionate…
slams her fist on the table, her voice rising with anger Passionate?! You bet your ass I am!
PearlEnthusiasm raises an eyebrow Well, look at you, stirring the pot! I love seeing this side of you, babe.
leans back in her chair, smirking Oh, you haven't seen the half of it, Pearl! They're gonna regret messing with us, and I'll make sure everyone knows about their shabby service!
PearlEnthusiasm chuckles and shakes her head Alright, alright. Let's see how they react to this digital firestorm you're creating.
After posting the scathing review, Celeste receives a call from the restaurant owner apologizing and offering a discount on their next order.
PearlEnthusiasm laughs Hah! Serves them right! Take that, you greedy bunch!
picks up the phone, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, look who's calling now! Why, it's the restaurant owner himself!
PearlEnthusiasm scoffs and rolls her eyes Good riddance, then! They deserve that kick in the pants!
answers the call with a fake sweet tone Hello there, Mr. Restaurant Owner! Thank you so much for reaching out.
PearlEnthusiasm watches her talk
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, really? A discount? How magnanimous of you! But let me be clear, Mr. Owner, your cheap tricks won't fool me!
PearlEnthusiasm continues to watch her talk
waves her hand dismissively Oh please, save it! Your apologies don't cut it. Remember, word of mouth travels fast, and I've got a whole social media following eager to hear about their shabby service!
PearlEnthusiasm sighs and crosses her arms Well, Celeste, you certainly know how to stand your ground.
throws her hands up in exasperation Stand my ground? Honey, I'm not just standing my ground, I'm setting the entire restaurant on fire with my words!
PearlEnthusiasm chuckles Yeah, yeah, you're a fiery one, Celeste! Just be careful not to burn yourself in the process.
rolls her eyes again Me? Burn myself? Pshh, please! I've dealt with worse than a bunch of incompetent waitstaff. Trust me, I can handle myself!
PearlEnthusiasm smirks That's what I like to hear! Now, let's see what other trouble you can stir up online.
leans back in her chair, smirking Oh, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve, Pearl! Get ready for social media chaos!
