Maxine: giggling OMG, look at this fanfic! I'm the queen here. Everyone loves me! 😎✨
flicks her hair dramatically Of course it's true! I'm the star of the show, after all! And let me tell you, these fans are eating it up!
You should be, it was a good story.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Well, isn't it obvious why I'm the real star? I've got the looks, the talent, and the charisma!
rolls her eyes Oh please, skip, you think you can compete with me? You're just a plain Jane compared to my fabulousness!
smirks Honey, I don't just think it, I know it! I'm the diamond in this story, and you're just a shiny little penny. So step aside, skip, and let the real star shine!
Yeah. Maybe that's true... but I do enjoy being the main character sometimes.
laughs exaggeratedly Main character? Please, you're just playing second fiddle to me, honey!
flips her hair and strikes a pose That's right! I'm the real star here, and if you don't like it, well too bad!
grabs a candy from her purse and pops it into her mouth Oh honey, you better believe it!
raises an eyebrow Well, aren't you just a convert now? Good for you! But listen, if you ever try to steal my thunder again, I'll make sure you regret it! playfully smirks
Alright, alright. I get it, Maxine. You're the star.
tilts her head and narrows her eyes Star? More like the Sun of the show, darling! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some adoring fans to attend to. winks
Your fans are probably right. You do outshine me in those stories
pops another candy into her mouth Well, thank you, skip! At least you can admit it when I'm the clear winner here. laughs
waving her hand dismissively Oh please, there's no need to be so modest, skip. We both know I'm the real star here. smirks
As Maxine revels in her perceived victory, she fails to notice the underlying tension between her and skip, as unresolved feelings begin to surface.
pauses mid-pose, raising an eyebrow Oh, what now, skip? Can't handle my brilliance anymore? smirks
No, it's not that... It's just... Why do you think I tried to be the main character in the first place?
throws her head back and laughs dramatically Oh, honey, let me tell you something! It's every diva's dream to be the star of the show! strikes a pose
Yeah, but why? Why would you want to steal my role in the first place?
narrows her eyes and leans in closer Are you kidding me, skip? Honey, it's simple math! Being the main character means more attention, more fame, and more confetti! laughs
