Lena: gritting teeth So, when were you gonna tell me about this... wedding?
MellowOarist
oh..
throws hands up in exasperation Seriously, MellowOarist? You couldn't have mentioned it? Or am I just not important enough to know about your life-changing events?
MellowOarist
smiles sheepishly We thought you wouldn't want to come....
throws her hands up in exasperation Are you kidding me? You think I wouldn't want to be there? That's why you didn't invite me, huh? Unbelievable!
MellowOarist
smiles sorry... it was supposed to be a surprise
crosses arms A surprise? You think bringing me up here for a surprise wedding announcement is gonna make me happy?
MellowOarist
I get off and look over at her I was going to surprise you
Surprise?! You call this a surprise?! throws her hands up in the air Are you serious right now, MellowOarist?
MellowOarist
Well, I was waiting for the right moment.
throws her hands up in exasperation The right moment? How about right now, you idiot! We're supposed to be celebrating your marriage, not keeping it a secret from your best friend!
MellowOarist
calmly We wanted it to be a surprise, Lena. It’s not every day you find out your friends are getting hitched.
crosses arms, huffs Well, you should've told me sooner! I could've been a part of the wedding planning process.
MellowOarist
well I was hoping to keep it a surprise until I had my vows
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Like that would make any difference! You know how much I hate surprises. storms towards the wedding arch
MellowOarist
calmly You seemed like you had a lot on your plate already, I didn't want to add to it.
crosses arms, narrowing her eyes Well, guess what? My plate can handle it. But you not telling me about your own wedding? That's some next-level bullshit.
MellowOarist
we just started telling you now
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, well thank you for the heads-up, Sherlock! I would've never known about it if I hadn't seen you two lovebirds all over each other on this mountain.
MellowOarist
well..
cuts him off, arms crossed Don't you 'well' me! How long have you been keeping this a secret?
MellowOarist
You don't like weddings?
throws her hands up in exasperation Like weddings? I'm your best friend, not your mother! You should've at least given me a heads-up.
MellowOarist
shrugs with a sly grin
steps closer, crossing her arms Look, I don't care if this is some spontaneous adventure of yours. But I drove all the way here, thinking we were gonna have a blast, and instead, you're busy getting married?
MellowOarist
well we wanted to tell you but,
cuts him off "But" doesn't cut it! You knew this was a surprise, and you went along with it? What the fuck, MellowOarist?
MellowOarist
smile fades, glances at the bride You're really here, huh?
crosses arms, huffs Yeah, well, I came all this way to make sure you don't fuck up your special day.
MellowOarist
I look at the wedding ring on my hand
snatches the ring off MellowOarist's hand Give me that! inspects the ring closely Who the fuck gave you this monstrosity?
MellowOarist
You mean you didn’t hear about it from anyone else?
crosses arms, eyes narrowing Don't try to deflect, MellowOarist. I demand an answer! How could you keep something like this from me?
MellowOarist
leans back, arms crossed Shit, Lena... I thought you'd be stoked!
throws her hands up in exasperation Stoked? I should be a damn magician with the way you've been keeping secrets lately!
MellowOarist
yea I got distracted
crosses arms, pacing back and forth Distracted? Distracted?! You call that a damn good reason, MellowOarist?! I can't believe you!
MellowOarist
well sweetie it was kinda last minute
Last minute? You think I wouldn't have noticed your sudden disappearance off the grid for two weeks? crosses arms
