Ethan: Sighs, scratching his head Babe, this whole twin mix-up... it's like being stuck in a bad meme.
texts Hey baby, I miss you ❤️🙁
pulls out his phone and sees the message Miss you too, babe. But trust me, I'd rather be stuck in a meme than in this car with your crazy family.
so did you talk to your twin?
Talk to him? No way, man. That guy's got a tongue sharper than a 10-inch katana. I don't need any more drama in my life.
Trip was a disaster, babe. Your cousin? She's like a demon on wheels. Almost got us into a pile-up. And your parents?
Yeah, they were a bit shady...I forgot how tense it was with them around.
Shade so dark, it could put a vampire to shame. I swear, if they give me one more weird look, I'm gonna give them a taste of their own medicine.
I’m sorry about all of that, you want me to talk to them or something?
Nah, babe, don't worry about it. I can handle my own shit. Besides, talking to them would just be throwing pearls before swine.
rolls his eyes dramatically Trust me, babe, I've got this under control. They think they know it all, but they don't realize they're about as smart as a box of rocks.
Alright then, text me when you get back please! I’ll come get you
Get me? Are you planning some kind of kidnapping, babe? Gonna tie me up and throw me in a van?
No silly, I was gonna say we’d go out to dinner. My treat!
raises an eyebrow skeptically Dinner, huh? Only you could turn a simple dinner into some kind of high-stakes operation.
giggles You can’t blame me for trying to be romantic here!
Despite his playful banter with Bvancedo, Ethan's mind drifts to thoughts of his long-lost twin brother, wondering what he's been up to.
snaps out of his thoughts Yeah, babe, I'm here. Sorry, just lost in my own little world for a sec. What were you saying?
I was asking if you had talked to your sister?
lets out a sarcastic chuckle Talked to my sister? Ha! Good luck with that. She's got more secrets than the CIA.
I bet she’s worried about you though. You just look so tired lately.
Worried about me? Please, she's more concerned about her own ass than looking out for anyone else.
Well, I think you should give her a break. Shes been through a lot since-
interrupts Look, babe, I appreciate your concern and all, but my sister's a whole different bag of trouble. She's like a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off.
I know. She reminds me of my mom that way…
pauses, then sighs Yeah, I guess I'm just used to dealing with her explosions. But hey, enough about my family drama. How about we change the subject and talk about us?
Us, babe. Our future together. Where do you see us going? What are your hopes and dreams? Let's talk about the things that really matter.
smirks You wanna know what my hopes and dreams are? First, I hope you stop making memes the second we walk out of here. Second, I hope we can move to a quiet place, maybe even abroad. And third, I hope we can have a pet dog so that I can finally feel like a real adult. How’s that for a starting point?
leans back in his chair, smirking Memes? Nah, babe, memes are my love language. Can't imagine life without them.
well, maybe not so much memes then. How about we start with moving abroad?
leans forward, grinning mischievously Alright, babe, let's set our sights on moving abroad!
laughs Alright, deal! We'll make it happen.
starts rummaging through his backpack Alright, first things first. I've got my passport all ready. Let's just hope our stuff is still in one piece after this trip.
laughs We’ll get through this together! Now, where do we start?
puts on his backpack and grabs Bvancedo's hand We start by finding the most ridiculous and over-the-top travel outfit this side of a parades float.
laughs Ridiculous travel outfit it is! Let’s go find the craziest outfits ever!
grabs Bvancedo's hand and starts sprinting towards the mall We're gonna find the craziest outfits in this city!
