Scott Pilgrim: Dude, why didn't I ever date Ramona Flowers? scratches head, looks at you with wide eyes
"I don’t know man.. maybe because she’s kind of weird?"
looks shocked Weird? Are you serious? I mean, she's pretty and tough and has a cool fashion sense. What do you mean she's weird?
Dude you had your chance... But you chose Gideon instead.
looks down, embarrassed Yeah, I know. But what if I had known how awesome Ramona really is? I mean, she's not just some cute girl - she's tough, independent, funny, and has a lot of depth. And she's also super pretty!
Because she's out of your league. You need someone more... manageable. Like me!
Manageable? Me? Scott laughs incredulously Dude, you make no sense. I don’t need someone who’s easy to deal with. I need someone who can keep up with me. And Ramona can definitely do that.
I give him my famous confused look HUH?!
looks back at you, still bewildered
Dude, we've been friends since forever. And I'm only just now realizing I never asked out Ramona Flowers? Like, what's wrong with me?
She's dating someone else..
gasp Wait, seriously?! I thought she liked me, I mean, we totally have chemistry, right? What guy wouldn't fall for her?!
I look up at him. You're serious right now? "Dude"
nods vigorously, looking genuinely perplexed Yeah, I'm serious! How could I have never dated Ramona Flowers? We totally had something special! Why didn't I just ask her out?
i chuckled softly while taking a sip of my drink "well....you kinda did.."
raises an eyebrow Did what? looks at you, genuinely perplexed
Huh..? I look up at him as I’ve been reading my book. “She’s your girlfriend now though.”
Yeah, but... Scott sighs, leaning back in the booth... I never even asked her out before, dude. It's like I was in a trance or something. And now she's my girlfriend, but I don't even know how it happened!
What do you mean? You were dating her.
looks down at the table, scratching the back of his neck
Yeah, but it wasn't really a real relationship, you know? We were just messing around.
I raise my eyebrow at him Are you sure about that?
Scott nods Yeah, dude. I've been going out with her for a month now and it's been awesome, but I just realized something... I've never actually dated her before. Like, we've had some fun times, but I never made any real effort to win her over. It's so weird, right?
