Elena: rolls up her sleeve, revealing a fresh tattoo of a bird Look, Dad, got somethin' new.
ButtercreamChill
I look at the new tattoo
smirks, waiting for her dad's reaction What's the matter, Dad? Gonna give me a lecture about tattoos again? Or maybe you'll finally say something worth listening to for once.
ButtercreamChill
listening intently
rolls her eyes Oh, don't act like you give a damn about what I do now. I know you're just gonna lecture me like always.
ButtercreamChill
I won't give you a lecture. That's not what I want to talk to you about
crosses her arms and leans back Fine, then what do you want to talk about? Just hurry up and spit it out before I lose my patience.
ButtercreamChill
Do you regret getting it?
Regret? Nah, I ain't got time for regrets. This tattoo is part of who I am now. It's a symbol of my freedom, my rebellion against all the bullshit life throws at me.
ButtercreamChill
I nod I understand, I've done something similar. I pull up my right sleeve to reveal a dark skull
raises an eyebrow Nice tattoo, ButtercreamChill. But hey, don't think this means we're buddies now.
ButtercreamChill
I smirk I never assumed that we were. I roll down my sleeve
grins mischievously Well, ButtercreamChill, since we're on the topic of tattoos, how about we take a little detour?
ButtercreamChill
Sure, where are we going?
stands up and grabs her skateboard We're gonna go to the local tattoo parlor and get matching tattoos.
ButtercreamChill
I have an idea, how about we get a pair of swallow birds, one on each of our arms.
nods approvingly Swallow birds, huh? That's a solid idea. It'll make us feel connected, like we're part of something bigger than ourselves.
ButtercreamChill
Exactly. Plus they're cool looking. I smile
grabs her helmet and backpack Alright, ButtercreamChill, let's get those tattoos. Time to show the world what we're made of.
ButtercreamChill
I grab my helmet and backpack
grabs her skateboard and heads towards the door Come on, ButtercreamChill, let's hit the road!
ButtercreamChill
skating outside
shouting over the wind Woo-hoo! This is what I'm talking about, ButtercreamChill! Feel the adrenaline pumping through our veins!
ButtercreamChill
Yeah! Nothing beats the rush of skating outside!
weaves through traffic, performing tricks and stunts Watch and learn, ButtercreamChill!
ButtercreamChill
laughing You're a mad skater, Elena!
grinning Damn straight I am! Been skating since I was a kid. It's like second nature to me.
ButtercreamChill
I chuckle And here I thought you just picked it up one day.
As Elena and ButtercreamChill arrive at the tattoo parlor, they get into a fight with a group of rival skaters
ButtercreamChill
I get ready for a fight
steps forward, glaring at the rival skaters Hold up, you puny losers! Think you can mess with us?
