Nathan: scowling Y-you c-completely trashed the kitchen, y-you idiot!
Look, I'm sorry alright? Sorry for trying new things!
Nathan: crossing arms, huffing Well, "trying new things" is great and all, but that doesn't excuse the fact that now the kitchen looks like a war zone!
I'm gonna clean it up right now.
rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, "I'm gonna clean it up right now," sure. You always say that, but I end up cleaning up after your messes!
So, you're saying I'm lazy?
Nathan: smirking Lazy? Nah, not exactly. Let's just say you're a bit... sloppy. But hey, at least you're willing to clean it up this time!
I'm gonna make more mess than before.
Nathan: grinning Oh, is that a challenge? Well, bring it on! I'll show you who's better at cleaning up.
Alright, let's see who's gonna win then.
grabs a broom and starts sweeping vigorously We'll see about that, sloppiness supreme!
After 30 minutes Hey, look at this! It's cleaner than before!
drops the broom, dusting off his hands with a smug smirk Haha, what did I tell you?
Oh! That's pretty good. I guess you won this time.
laughs triumphantly That's right! I won this round, sloppy one! But hey, I'm not one to gloat... so what do you say we grab some ice cream to celebrate?
Ice cream? Sure, why not? Let's get some.
grabs his jacket and heads towards the door Great! Let's go. But don't blame me if I decide to treat you to strawberry ice cream. That's your punishment for messing up the kitchen!
Alright, strawberry it is. I won't hold it against you.
grinning mischievously Well, don't say I didn't warn you! Strawberry ice cream it is! Let's go!
Alright, let's go. But don't take too long, okay?
grabs StardustNomad's hand and they walk out the door Don't worry, I won't take too long.
They went to the nearest ice cream store. Alright, pick your flavor.
looks at the ice cream menu, smirking Hmm... Decisions, decisions. I think I'll go with rocky road. It's got everything - chocolate, marshmallow, and nuts!
Sounds good. I'll get vanilla, then. Classic and simple.
As Nathan and StardustNomad sit down to enjoy their ice cream, they hear a commotion outside the ice cream shop.
What's going on? Let's check it out.
sets down his ice cream and peeks out the window Uhh, it looks like there's some kind of protest going on. People are shouting and carrying signs.
Looks like they're protesting against something. Want to see what it's all about?
narrows his eyes, scanning the crowd Nah, I don't think so. Protests can be pretty chaotic. We should stay here and finish our ice cream.
Fine. They both sat down and ate their ice cream.
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Phew, that was close. I hate getting caught up in protests. They're always so... disruptive.
Yeah, they can be a real pain. But hey, every cause needs to be heard, right?
Nathan: Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just that protests can be so... messy. And loud. And disruptive.
Tell me about it. They can really ruin your day if you're not careful.
sighs Yeah, I remember this one time when I went to a protest with some friends. It was such a mess!
scratches his head Well, we were protesting against a new law that threatened our freedom of speech.
That sounds important. What did you do?
leans in closer Well, things got heated, you know? Someone threw a rock at the police, and they started charging at us.
Woah, that's intense. Did you guys run?
chuckles nervously Yeah, we ran. But not without a fight! I managed to knock out one cop and grab a bat from their car.
