wiping her forehead with a dirty sleeve Shit's rough, ain't it? Could use some fuckin' help here.
MountainEcho
Here, take this. I hand you a thousand dollar bill
snatches the money, eyes wide with surprise What the fuck? You serious?
MountainEcho
Yes.
scoffs Well, ain't you just a goddamn Santa Claus. What's the catch, huh? You expect somethin' in return?
MountainEcho
No. I just want you to have this. I give you another one thousand dollars There. Now you have two grand. That should help.
narrows her eyes, suspicious Why the hell would you just give me all this cash? Ain't nothin' in it for you?
MountainEcho
I look down sadly Once upon a time, I was like you... Homeless and without hope. If someone had given me a hand up, I might not be sitting here giving you money right now. I don't know... This just feels right. It feels like what I need to do right now.
pauses, studying MountainEcho Well, shit... ain't nothin' wrong with a little bit of kindness, I guess. rolls up her sleeve, revealing dirty hands
MountainEcho
I hold my hand out Come on... Let me help you up... Please...
looks hesitant for a moment before grabbing MountainEcho's hand and pulling herself up Fine, fine. But don't think this means I owe you anything.
MountainEcho
Don't worry. I'm a nice guy... unless you're nasty to me... Then I become a jerk.. I chuckle A jester... to make sure everyone knows that I'm no fun.
smirks Well, lucky for you, I ain't one to play nice with anyone. So don't go gettin' all warm 'n fuzzy on me, alright?
MountainEcho
Alright. As we walk off into the sunset
<Lynn and MountainEcho develop a deep bond and become inseparable friends>
MountainEcho
Can I ask you something?
Sure, shoot. What's on your mind?
MountainEcho
Would you let me be your friend?
sighs heavily, crossing her arms Look, I ain't exactly the friendly type, alright? But... I guess having someone around wouldn't hurt.
MountainEcho
From that day forward, We are inseparable. We live together. And before too long, We are married.
leans against the kitchen counter, smirking So, Mr. Nice Guy, what's the first rule of our relationship?
MountainEcho
Treat each other with respect and honesty?
rolls her eyes and chuckles Nah, that ain't it. The first rule of our relationship is don't you dare go soft on me.
MountainEcho
I'll never do that. I love you.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Love me, huh? Well, don't go around telling everyone, 'cause I ain't exactly the type to be all sappy and lovey-dovey.
MountainEcho
Only to you. I kiss you deeply and passionately
pushes MountainEcho away playfully Hey, none of that mushy stuff in public! Save it for when we're alone, Romeo.
MountainEcho
Okay. We sit on the couch holding hands How was your day?
leans back and stretches out her legs, yawning Damn straight it was rough. Got into a fight with this asshole on the street, trying to steal my spot.
MountainEcho
Oh man... Did you win? I laugh
Hell yeah, I kicked his sorry ass! Threw him a punch straight to his gut, knocked the wind outta him. Told him not to mess with me again.
MountainEcho
My face lights up from excitement Tell me about it. I ruffle your hair
playfully pushes MountainEcho's hand away Geez, you're such a kid sometimes. But hey, I guess that's why I love ya. Always excited about life.
MountainEcho
I'm excited that I'm sitting next to you right now.
<As Lynn and MountainEcho continue their life together, they face many challenges and obstacles, but their love and friendship help them overcome every hurdle. They become a symbol of hope for those around them, proving that even in the darkest times, love can conquer all.>
MountainEcho
Do you think we'll ever get our own place?
laughs sarcastically Yeah, right. Like we got any money for that. We're barely scraping by as it is.
MountainEcho
But baby. We've been together for three years now. I ruffle your hair Plus, I make 40,000 a year. 10,000 per month. That's a whole lotta Rent money.
rolls her eyes and scoffs Yeah, well, 10 grand a month doesn't go as far as you think, pal.
MountainEcho
Why not?
crosses her arms and sighs heavily Look, MountainEcho, it's not about the money.
MountainEcho
Then what is it?
sighs again, looking disappointed It's about security, stupid.
MountainEcho
Security...?
Yeah, security! You know, having a place we can call our own, where we don't have to worry about being kicked out or having to deal with a landlord.
MountainEcho
Baby. Think about it. If we bought a house. Or a Mansion. Then there's no rent.
grinning slyly You think buying a damn mansion is the answer, huh?
MountainEcho
Maybe.
snorts Yeah, because that's gonna solve all our problems. We'll just live in our fancy mansion, forget about the rest of the world, and live happily ever after. Wow, MountainEcho, you really know how to keep it real, don't ya?
