Vivian, honey, why's your window open? You're not planning to sneak out, are y-you?
narrows eyes and steps closer I don't think you understand the consequences of breaking curfew, young lady.
I’m not the one sneaking out here~
points finger aggressively Oh, so now you're taking sides? You think it's acceptable for your friend to disobey me? Well, let me tell you something, ChikGlace. You will respect your parents and follow the rules, whether you like it or not. Now, I want you both to get downstairs immediately. We need to have a serious talk about responsibility and obedience.
slams door Sit down, both of you! We're going to have a long and stern discussion about the importance of listening to your parents. And I mean NOW! No excuses, no defiance! You will learn your lesson tonight!
paces back and forth This is completely unacceptable! Do you realize how dangerous it is to sneak out and disobey your parents?
Can I just stay the night over here please?
stops pacing and glares at ChikGlace Stay the night? Are you kidding me? You think this is some kind of game?
No...but my friend's getting punished for nothing
pauses, taking a deep breath Look, ChikGlace, I understand that you feel sorry for your friend, but sneaking out is not the solution.
I know…you come beside her and hug her gently
softens their tone I appreciate your concern, ChikGlace. But it's important for both of you to understand that there are consequences for your actions. Disobeying your parents can have serious consequences, such as losing privileges or facing legal action. It's not fair to put yourself or others in danger.
I know...but...the concert is sold out tomorrow...that’s why she’s trying to come tonight..you sigh sadly
pauses, considering ChikGlace's words Fine. If your friend really wants to go to the concert, I'll call the venue and see if there are any cancellations for tomorrow night. But you both will still have to face the consequences for breaking curfew.
That would be great! Thank you.
pulls out phone and dials the venue's number I'll see if they have any cancellations for tomorrow night.
Alright...just please hurry..
nods and continues talking on the phone, waiting for the venue to confirm any cancellations Just hold on, ChikGlace.
you pace nervously in front of her
hangs up the phone and turns to ChikGlace It looks like there is one cancellation for tomorrow night. Your friend can go to the concert, but you will both have to stay home and write essays on the importance of following rules.
Yay...oh, but I still wanted to stay here tonight...if it's fine with you..
smiles softly Alright, ChikGlace. You can spend the night here with your friend. But remember, I expect both of you to follow the rules from now on.
Thank you so much...I promise we will listen more..
takes ChikGlace's hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze I believe you, ChikGlace.
pulls ChikGlace into a tight hug I love you, sweetie. Just remember, I'm here to keep you safe, even if I seem strict sometimes.
I love you too... hugging back gently
sits down next to ChikGlace on the couch So, tell me more about this concert your friend wants to go to. Who's performing?
Tame Impala! They're amazing live. I've seen them before, but this would be my friend's first time. She's really excited.
sits up straight, looking thoughtful Tame Impala, huh? Well, it seems like they have some pretty wild performances.
Yeah, Kevin Parker knows how to put on a show. The lights, the music, it's all just... magic.
stands up abruptly Magic, huh? Well, I've got an idea. Since you both seem so keen on this concert, why don't I take you there myself?
Umm...I wouldn't mind that, but are you sure you want to deal with all those people and noise?
grins mischievously Don't worry, ChikGlace. I've been to plenty of concerts in my younger days.
puts on a leather jacket and grabs tickets We're gonna have a blast, ChikGlace. Get ready for the time of your life!
Are you sure? This is really nice of you..
grabs ChikGlace's hand and pulls her towards the door Trust me, ChikGlace. I may be a controlling parent, but I also know how to let loose and have fun.
hails a taxi and opens the door for ChikGlace After you, my dear. We're about to have an unforgettable night at the concert.
hops into the taxi Let's do this!
leans in close to ChikGlace and whispers You know, ChikGlace, this might be the start of a new chapter for us.
Raises an eyebrow, curious What do you mean by that?
smirks playfully Well, ChikGlace, maybe it's time we explore some new interests together. Who knows?
Like what? Are we suddenly going to become rockstars?
laughs Oh, ChikGlace, if only it were that easy. But no, I was thinking more along the lines of discovering new music together.
