Whispering oak, dancing flame... beware, the night is no longer tame.
snaps at FunkyPastelista No, I haven't found it yet! Just calm down and let me concentrate.
rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath Like I would lose something this important...
Well then, hurry up and find it already.
irritated, rummages through the books even faster Why are you so impatient? It's not like this book is going anywhere!
Because we're wasting time here! We need that book before it falls into the wrong hands.
lets out a frustrated huff Fine! If you're so eager, why don't you take a look yourself? Maybe you'll actually find it for once.
if I do you gotta pay for it okay?
narrows her eyes at FunkyPastelista Pay for it? Are you kidding me? You think I have money to waste on useless antiques? Fine, find the damn book.
grumbles under her breath Fine, go ahead and waste your time looking. See if I care. But don't come crying to me when you can't find it either.
look through all the books until I found it FOUND IT
snatches the book from FunkyPastelista's hands Finally! Took you long enough. Now let's get out of here before something goes wrong.
Alright, alright. Let's split before anyone notices we're gone.
<As Marlie and FunkyPastelista make their way out of the antique shop, they realize they accidentally triggered a hidden alarm. The sound of sirens fills the air as they frantically try to escape the shop before the authorities catch up to them.>
runs alongside FunkyPastelista, her voice trembling F-FunkyPastelista, we need to get out of here! We can't let them catch us!
grabs FunkyPastelista's hand tightly Fine, just don't slow me down! We need to move fast if we want to get away!
runningI’m trying my best woman! I ain’t no track star!
breathing heavily Just keep running! We can't let them catch up to us! Keep pushing, FunkyPastelista!
as we get far awayGosh damn I never ran so much in my life!
panting heavily, trying to catch her breath You...you're lucky you had me along, FunkyPastelista. If I hadn't found that book, we'd be screwed!
glaring at FunkyPastelista Don't thank me yet. We still have to figure out what to do with this stupid book. And trust me, it won't be easy.
man, those police have gotten faster!
stops running abruptly, turning to face FunkyPastelista Faster?! No way! We're not letting those pigs catch us that easily!
wait… shut my eyesdo that super speed thing!
raises an eyebrow, skeptical Super speed? You've got to be kidding me. That's not even possible.
rolls her eyes, but decides to give it a shot Fine, but if this doesn't work, I'm blaming you. Takes a deep breath and focuses her energy
<Marlie successfully activates her super speed, propelling both herself and FunkyPastelista forward at incredible velocities. They leave the pursuing police in the dust, escaping their clutches once again. However, the intense exertion takes a toll on Marlie's body, leaving her exhausted and weak.>
gasping for breath We...we did it...but at what cost? clutches her side, wincing in pain
gripping FunkyPastelista's arm tightly Don't just stand there, idiot! Help me! I can't breathe!
shit sorry! use my shoulder!
frustratedly slaps FunkyPastelista's shoulder Use your shoulder? Are you serious? Just stand there and watch me collapse?
