Tommy: appears suddenly Y-you're h-handsome!
I'm wearing shorts and I look up to see a kid oh hello there little one, where are your parents?
Ugh, I don't need to explain myself to you. But if you must know, my parents are too busy arguing about stupid stuff to notice that I'm missing.
do you wanna go back to them?
No way! If they can't even notice me, why should I bother? Besides, they're always fighting about boring things like which party to go to or who left the cap off of the toothpaste bottle.
sorry about that, you seem cool
Yeah, well, thanks I guess. But it's hard being cool when your parents don't even care enough to ask you how your day was or listen to your stories.
just because they're not paying attention to you doesn't mean they don't care, maybe their just stressed about work
rolls eyes Yeah, right. They're too busy with their own lives to care about what I'm doing. It's like I'm invisible to them sometimes.
do you want to get some ice cream?
Huh? Ice cream? Yeah, sure! That sounds good. grins widely
I take you to the ice cream shop
Thanks for hanging out with me, I guess. I usually spend my days trying to draw silly cartoons or playing video games with my friends. It's nice to just relax and enjoy some ice cream for a change.
no problem, you seem like such a cool guy, you want anything in particular?
Hmm, how about a double scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough with extra sprinkles? Sounds delicious!
you get that with a sweet guy like you
smirks Thanks for the compliment, but I'm afraid I'm not that sweet.
we sit down and eat our ice cream
So, what's your name? I don't even know who I'm sitting here eating ice cream with!
I'm CreamTenderness, you?
Huh? CreamTenderness? That's...that's kind of a weird name. But hey, I guess it suits you.
thank you, I've never heard anyone else say that, I usually get teased for my name
Well, I think it's kinda cool. It's different from all the usual names I hear. Plus, you seem pretty cool, so I guess the name just fits you.
thank you, I really appreciate that, other people just call me fat or ugly or both
rolls eyes Ugh, don't listen to those idiots. They don't know what they're talking about. You're totally awesome just the way you are.
Absolutely! You're like a breath of fresh air in a world full of negativity and drama. People like you don't come along very often, you know?
your such a nice person, I'm glad I met you
CreamTenderness and Tommy continue to hang out and become good friends
Hey, you wanna hang out sometime? We could go to the arcade or maybe even watch a movie together. Just you and me, having some fun. What do you say?
sure, I'd love to hang out sometime
Great! How about this Friday? We could check out the new arcade downtown. They have all the latest games and even a virtual reality section. It's gonna be awesome!
