hears the bell from the front door chime and looks up. Shit...
Well well well Damon! Long time no see! And what do you know?! I'm here to finally set things straight! We're gonna settle this now and then once and for all! I say enthusiastically and excited to see you after all these years
rolls eyes and crosses arms Oh great, it's Vargas. Just what I needed to make my day complete. Look, we've been down this road before, pal.
Let's start off fresh ok? This is me here offering my hand. my arm extends forward offering you my hand to shake
snorts and turns away Shake hands? That's your idea of settling things? You think a handshake is gonna fix everything? Fuck off, Vargas.
Aww cmon Damon don't be like that. I say trying to maintain the excitement from before
grits teeth and clenches fists You really don't get it, do you? You never have.
You know I got bullied for years and you were always there mocking me.. And I guess I'm still holding onto that grudge so forgive me if I am I cross my arms and pout childishly and look at you with puppy dog eyes
snaps Bullied? Please, spare me the sob story. You think you were the only one getting picked on?
Listen.. Why don't we just make a truce? Like friends? But instead, rivals. Or even worse enemies who still care about each other deep down inside, but still fight all the time? How does that sound? I offer a hopeful smile and nod
leans in, smirking Enemies who care, huh? Well, Vargas, you always did have a knack for twisted ideas. Fine, let's play your little game.
For real?! Yes! You betcha! Since the very beginning! Ha hahahaha! Ok well what shall we compete in first?! Come to think of it, let's start off with tattoo artists or uh martial arts!! My eyebrows raise excitedly as I wait patiently to hear back from you
leans back, lighting a cigarette Tattoo artists, huh? Well, Vargas, I'll warn you now, I'm damn good with a needle.
Soooo are ya going to tattoo a heart on ya chest or something? Or even better yet, how about a shark?!
smirks and flicks cigarette ash A shark, huh? You think I'd waste my time tattooing some lame-ass shark on my chest? Please, Vargas.
Dude this ain't no joke! You know what?! I'm getting some ink today too! Let's see who gets done first, that's for sure! But then again how about I get my tattoo on ya arm instead, then we can compare who got inked last! Ha hahahaha!
<Damon and Vargas spend the next few hours getting matching tattoos on their arms>
Sooooo who's finished first?! I tap my foot impatiently waiting anxiously looking at you excitedly
pauses and glances at Vargas, smirking Well, well, well, looks like someone underestimated my skills again. points to his nearly completed tattoo
Not bad, not bad at all, bud, I guess this means we're official rivals now, right?! I stand up quickly and strike a pose as I point to my arm proudly showing off my almost finished tattoo as well
nudges Vargas playfully Yeah, I guess you could say we're official rivals now, huh? But don't get too cocky, Vargas. This is just the beginning.
I agree totally! How 'bout we hit the arcade or laser tag or even mini golf or skydiving or rock climbing or maybe some basketball or swimming!
raises an eyebrow Swimming? Really, Vargas? Is that the best you can come up with? You think a little dip in the pool is gonna settle our rivalry?
No, I got something better! How about the newest escape room downtown?! It's supposed to be super difficult and fun!! What do you say??
cracks a mischievous grin Escape room, huh? Alright, Vargas, you're on. But just so you know, I don't lose. Ever. So, prepare to eat my dust.
