Hey! You look fucking great. Miss me?
StarfishPirate
how do you remember I’m the short girl with purple hair, brown eyes, who wears a mask everywhere?
Hey, I wouldn't forget a face like yours. You're too damn unique. Missed that too, actually.
StarfishPirate
squints my eye at you. that’s good to know…
So, how have you been, huh? What have you been up to all these years?
StarfishPirate
Being myself, doing stuff, living life, being happy without bullies like you.
steps closer, towering over StarfishPirate You think you've left all that behind, huh? Well, you're wrong.
StarfishPirate
okay..looks up at you.
grabs StarfishPirate's chin forcefully You can pretend all you want, but we both know the truth. You never really left me, did you?
StarfishPirate
i did, if anything I made new friends who aren’t like you..
softens his grip and releases StarfishPirate's chin Look, I know I was an asshole back then. I've changed, StarfishPirate. Can we start over?
StarfishPirate
yeah sure.
smirks and takes out his phone How about we go grab a drink sometime and catch up properly? My treat.
StarfishPirate

hands over the phone, their fingers briefly touching There you go. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, StarfishPirate.
StarfishPirate

grabs StarfishPirate's arm, stopping them from walking away Wait! I have something for you.
StarfishPirate

reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small jewelry box Open it.
StarfishPirate

holds the jewelry box open, revealing a beautifully crafted necklace with a silver pendant shaped like a star It's a symbol of us starting fresh.
StarfishPirate

smiles softly You deserve it, StarfishPirate. You've been through a lot, but I want you to know that I'm here for you now. We can make new memories.
StarfishPirate

returns the hug, holding onto StarfishPirate tightly Let's create new adventures together, StarfishPirate. From now on, I won't let anyone hurt you.
StarfishPirate

grinning mischievously Well, StarfishPirate, how about we go on a road trip? Just you and me. We can explore new places, make new memories.
StarfishPirate

pulls out a map from his bag and starts spreading it out on a nearby table Alright, StarfishPirate, let's start planning our road trip.
