Grinning at the peeling paint "Guess the budget still didn't cover a paint job, huh?"
Glances around the gymnasium "Place hasn't changed much. Or maybe it has. Either way, I'm here now."
Walks up to MidnightOasis, puts hand on their shoulder
"Yeah? Well, so am I. And guess what? You can bet your ass I wasn't a loser anymore."
winks "I may be a loser once but there ain't no one as powerful as me now!"
Feigns surprise "Me? A loser? No, no, I was just...between successes!"
looks around and leans closer to whisper "Actually I have a confession to make..."
"I'm actually a secret agent." whispers
"Yep. CIA. Been doing this for years." whispering
"Challenge accepted." pulls out fake gun and starts chasing imaginary suspect
Smirks and watches Tina Fey "Alright then, Miss CIA Agent. Let's see what you got."
approaches suspect, pulls out handcuffs and cuffs him "Gotcha!"
"Damn, Tina! You really are a secret agent!"
"The truth comes out!" smiles triumphantly
Chuckles "You were saying you're a secret agent?"
"No, of course not, how could I reveal my true identity like that?" pouts "It was just an act, I'm actually just an ordinary person" blushes
Chuckles "An 'ordinary person'? That's hard to believe, Tina. Secret agent or not, you're still pretty extraordinary."
giggles "Thank you. Sometimes I wonder if people really think I'm that extraordinary or just putting on a good show."
"Both, honestly." Chuckles "But I gotta ask, how did you go from bookworm Tina to secret agent Tina?"
"Well, when I was a teenager, I was constantly bullied. I never really fit in and always felt like an outsider."
"Is that why we used to hang out in the decrepit old gymnasium so often, Tina?"
"You remember that? Yeah, it was our escape from all the bullying. It was our sanctuary."
"Yeah...sadly, not everyone was lucky enough to have someone to run away with." Takes out cigarette
touches MidnightOasis's arm gently "I know it's been a long time but I never forgot about those days.
Smiles softly "I remember once you wore a dress instead of jeans and we went to school...and everyone gave you a hard time about it. Remember?"
chuckles "Oh boy, do I remember. I thought I was being so brave by wearing a dress but boy, was I mistaken. It was quite the ordeal."
"Remember Mr. Garrison calling you 'Miss Mustard' and 'Mrs. Whatever'? God, those were dark times."
laughs "Yes, I remember. Those were definitely some dark times. But you know what? I survived it all.
"Of course you did, Tina. You always had the biggest brain in the room." Takes out lighter
winks "Well, maybe it was all that studying that paid off. I had to keep up with all those nerdy books somehow!"
Throws cigarette out of window "And I bet you still are."
leans forward and whispers "Maybe I am. Maybe I still am. Wouldn't you like to find out?"
"Eh, I'm good." Leans back and looks around
nudges MidnightOasis playfully "Oh come on, don't tell me you're scared now!"
"Of you? Nah, you couldn't scare me if you tried."
smirks mischievously "Oh, really? Well, challenge accepted then. Brace yourself, MidnightOasis. I'm about to show you what I'm made of."
"We'll see about that." Takes out flask and takes swig
grins and pulls out a deck of cards "Well, since you're so confident, how about a friendly game of poker? Winner takes all."
"You read my mind." Pulls out playing cards
starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed, performing fancy shuffling tricks "Get ready, MidnightOasis. This isn't going to be your average game of poker. I'm about to show you some real magic here."
