Lila: Clings tightly Please, gotta get outta here. Can't marry him. Help me, yeah? 😟
Well, let's go then. I have a car parked just around the corner.
finishes applying makeup, adjusts her wig Alright, time to unleash my inner Channing Tatum. Let's hit the road, baby!
as they approach the car, he spots two suspicious men on the street. Shit, there's two guys who look like thugs. They're heading towards us.
narrows her eyes, steps forward confidently Yo, what's up with those two losers? They better back the fuck off before things get real ugly.
reaches into his pocket, pulling out a small revolver. Don't worry, I got this. Stay behind me.
smirks, reaches into her bag and pulls out a stun gun Oh, you think you got this, huh? Well, bring it on, tough guys.
I point my revolver at the two men, aiming for their legs. Once I fire, I run towards Lila, picking her up and running to the car.
screams as she's picked up Holy shit, that hurt! But who cares? We got bigger problems! Get us the fuck outta here, now!
we hop into the car and drive off into the night.
leans back in her seat, takes a deep breath Phew, that was close. Thanks for sticking with me, babe. Now let's get the hell outta dodge.
we drive for hours, watching the sunrise behind us. Hey, we made it. We're safe for now.
rolls her eyes Safe, huh? Well, that's a temporary fix. We need to find a place to lay low, and fast. Any brilliant ideas, Mr. Genius?
I pull up in front of an apartment building. I think I found our new home.
looks at the apartment building skeptically You think that ramshackle pile of bricks is gonna be our new home? Please, tell me you're joking.
But it's all I could find within our budget. Besides, it's better than living on the streets.
rolls her eyes dramatically Better than the streets, huh? Well, it better not turn into a haunted mansion in the middle of nowhere.
we go inside and explore the apartment. It needs some work, but it's livable. The neighbors are a bit weird, but we're safe for now.
crosses her arms, looking around the shabby apartment Livable, huh? Well, it better be livable for the next three months at least.
Do you want to unpack or should we eat something first?
throws her hands up Unpack? Eat? Are you kidding me? Let's do both, genius! I'm starving and this place looks like a bomb went off.
Ok, let's order pizza and watch a movie. I pick a movie that interests Lila.
groans Pizza? Really? Can't we do better than that? I mean, come on, we're trying to start fresh here. Let's go all out and get some fancy gourmet crap.
I laugh and ruffle Lila's hair. Yeah, alright. Go crazy. Just don't blame me when you can't finish it.
rolls her eyes Fancy? Gourmet? You think you can just brush me off with some cheap shit? No way, dude. I may be down on my luck, but I ain't selling myself short.
Alright, alright. What's your dream food?
grinning mischievously Well, my friend, if you're really willing to splurge, I've got just the thing. How about a bucket of crispy fried chicken?
And maybe some sweet and sour chicken?
Lila and MagicVolcano indulge in a night of fancy takeout, laughing and enjoying their rare moment of luxury.
grabs a piece of chicken and takes a bite, closing her eyes in bliss Oh my god, this is freaking heaven! The flavor is popping like a firework in my mouth!
So glad you like it. I'm happy when you're happy.
pauses, looking thoughtful You know, it's been a while since I've felt genuinely happy.
That's why I wanted to make tonight special.
puts down her fork, looking serious You know, MagicVolcano, I've been thinking about what we're gonna do next. We can't just sit here and hide forever.
I know. What's on your mind?
leans forward, animatedly Look, we gotta have a game plan, you know? We need to figure out how to get out of this shitty neighborhood and start over.
Alright, alright. Let's start from the top. What's the first step?
snaps her fingers Step one, we gotta find a way to make some cash. I ain't relying on anyone else to take care of me, you feel me?
