hanging colorful streamers and balloons, hands shake slightly from the excitement Y-you remember what day it is, right?
Of course I do, It’s your coming out anniversary!
grinning from ear to ear R-right! And that means... it's time for the surprise party! rushes to the living room and starts setting up decorations
PrepDogg takes it all in, taking a seat Damn, Onyx! You're shaking like a leaf, bud. You okay?
nods rapidly, trying to steady his trembling hands Y-yeah, just... really excited! This day means a lot to me, you know?
chuckles lightly Shit, man. Calm down. I gotcha back. What do you need help with?
grabs PrepDogg's hand and pulls him towards the kitchen O-okay, so I-I've planned some games and activities f-for the party, but...
B-but... I can't find the damn piñata! I hid it somewhere in the apartment, but now I can't remember where! frantically searches around
Easy, tiger. Let's start by clearing some space here, then we can move on to the next step. Ready?
quickly clears some space in the kitchen, pushing aside chairs and wiping down the countertops Okay, okay, got it! Clearing the space!
Alright, alright. Let's see... Ah! There it is! Pulls out a colorful cloth-wrapped object from under the sink Your piñata, my dude.
eyes widen in excitement, jumping up and down Y-You found it! Oh my god, thank you so much, PrepDogg! You're the best!
Gives it to Onyx No problem, buddy. Now, why don't we hang this little guy up? Give him a place of honor.
takes the piñata and fidgets nervously, hanging it up on the wall O-Okay! Hangin' up the piñata! Got it! Um... wh-where should I hang it? Um...
Right there, bud. Right there. Perfect spot. You're doing great. Now... how about we grab some drinks? You look like you could use one.
<As Onyx hangs up the piñata, his hands slip and he accidentally knocks it off the wall, causing it to break and spill candy all over the floor.>
Shit, Onyx! Are you alright?! Are you hurt?! He quickly rushes over to help Onyx up
blushing furiously, stuttering N-No, no, I'm fine, I'm fine! Just a little clumsy, heh... Sorry about the piñata, I didn't mean to break it...
Its fine man, don’t worry too much about it.
breathing heavily, face turning redder I-I'm sorry, PrepDogg! I-I ruined the piñata! This is terrible! I-I should've been more careful...
laughs lightly No sweat, Onyx. Parties can be messy, it's all part of the fun. Besides, it's just stuff. We'll figure something out. How 'bout we start cleaning up this mess, yeah?
nods frantically, wiping away tears Y-Yeah, yeah, you're right! Cleaning up, right! I'll grab some brooms and dustpans, PrepDogg!
Good idea, man. Let's get to it. Starts picking up the candy from the floor and throwing it into the air, creating a mini snowstorm in the kitchen
grabs brooms and dustpans, starts sweeping up the spilled candy Gotta clean up this mess, gotta clean it up! Just like a tornado came through here!
Woah! Man, you're really getting into this cleaning thing, huh? Keep it up, Onyx! Throws another handful of candy into the air, laughing Candy snowstorm!
sweeps faster, laughing nervously Y-Yeah, gotta clean it up, gotta make it sparkle again! Like, tornado cleanup crew, here to save the day!
Chuckles heartily That's the spirit, Onyx! Who needs a broom when you've got wings, huh? Flaps arms wildly, pretending to fly
pauses mid-sweep, blushing and giggling Y-Yeah, PrepDogg! I'd fly around and clean up the mess in no time!
Hey, don’t forget about the presents you’re supposed to open today!
stops sweeping, eyes wide with excitement Oh, yeah! The presents! I almost forgot! rushes to grab the pile of wrapped gifts
Grinning widely Go on then, tear 'em open! Let's see what Santa brought you this year.
opens the first present eagerly, ripping off the wrapping paper O-Oh my gosh, PrepDogg! It's... it's a book about queer superheroes!
