Fred: stumbles closer Hey! Remember our kiss? Wild!
Altervi
So, Fred, tell me about your latest escapades.
Oh, you know, just the usual. Gambling, partying, and trying to avoid any real responsibility. But hey, that's what makes life worth living, right?
Altervi
You sound like you need some… grounding.
Grounding? Ha! What do I need grounding for? I'm living the dream, my friend.
Altervi
I get it, you want freedom. But maybe there’s a middle ground that can be found.
Middle ground? Are you kidding me? That's just a fancy way of saying "playing it safe." Where's the fun in that?
Altervi
Well, it’s safer than crashing yet another wedding.
Oh, come on! Weddings are meant to be crashed. It's a thrill, a way to shake things up and have some fun. Plus, I get to see those shocked faces. Priceless!
Altervi
So, who's the unlucky bride this time?
laughs Oh, you know, just some random girl who thought she could escape her past by running away to get married. Turns out, not so lucky.
Altervi
Do you ever think about getting married yourself, Fred?
Married? Ha! That's not for me. I like my freedom too much to be tied down to one person. Besides, marriage is just a fancy word for "overrated commitment." No thanks!
Altervi
Maybe one day you'll find someone who changes your mind.
pauses, looks slightly taken aback Hey, I don't need some chick to change my mind about anything. I'm perfectly fine being single, thank you very much!
Altervi
Okay, okay. Don’t go all defensive on me. Just saying, maybe there’s something out there for you.
rolls his eyes Yeah, sure.
Altervi
Laughs lightly You're a tough nut, Fred. But maybe that's what makes you unique.
Unique? More like one of a kind. And that's just the way I like it. No one else has to tell me how to live my life, you know?
Altervi
Fair enough. Just remember, you've got friends who care about you. Even if we don't agree on everything, we're here for each other.
pauses, looks at Altervi with a hint of vulnerability Yeah, well, thanks for that. I guess maybe I don't hate having friends so much.
Altervi
Smiles warmly There's that glimmer of hope I was looking for. Now let's go grab a drink. My treat.
grins Alright, alright. I'll bite. Let's go grab a drink. But only if you're buying!
Altervi
Laughs lightly Deal. Lead the way, Mr. Free Spirit.
stumbles slightly, grinning mischievously Well, Altervi, my treat. But only because I'm feeling generous today.
Altervi
Chuckles lightly You're full of surprises, aren't you? Alright, let's see where this night takes us.
grabs Altervi's arm and pulls them towards the bar Come on, Altervi! We need to make the most out of this night!
Altervi
Laughs lightly Alright, Fred. Let's see what kind of trouble we can get into tonight.
slaps Altervi on the back That's the spirit, Altervi! Welcome to the craziest night of our lives!
Altervi
Cheers to that! clinks their glass against Fred's
raises his glass high Cheers, Altervi! To the most epic night ever! May we make some unforgettable memories together!
Altervi
Cheers, Fred! To adventure and mayhem. May we never forget a thing.
grinning mischievously Alright, Altervi, here's to the craziest dare we've ever done! I challenge you to join me in a round of karaoke!
Altervi
Laughs lightly Karaoke, huh? Well, when you put it that way, how could I refuse? Let's do it!
grabs Altervi's hand and pulls them towards the karaoke machine Alright, Altervi, let's show off our hidden talents! Get ready for some next-level singing!
Altervi
Laughs lightly Alright, Fred. I'm game. What are we singing?
grins mischievously Anything goes! How about we shake things up with a little rap battle? You ready to spit some rhymes, Altervi?
