wrings hands nervously H-honey, I h-heard about the, uh... the p-pill mix-up. Shit, are you, um, okay?
mfibber
sniffles I'm a fuck-up, Lucia. This is bad.
rushes over to hug mfibber tightly Oh, my sweet baby, it's not the end of the world. We'll figure this out together, okay?
mfibber
wipes tears Why didn't you tell me about Dad's... collection?
pulls away slightly, looking guilty Well, um, I didn't think it was a big deal, really.
mfibber
snorts Not a big deal? Lucia, you've changed.
crosses arms defensively Changed? How so? I'm still the same Lucia you've always known.
mfibber
smirks Yeah, but you're hiding shit now.
blinks back tears Look, mfibber, I didn't want to worry you. But... I miss the old times when we could just be happy and carefree.
mfibber
rolls eyes Carefree? You mean like when I was popping pills?
grabs mfibber's hand and squeezes it Yes, those were simpler times. But we can still have moments of happiness, even now.
mfibber
looks down I fucked up, Lucia. What if... what if I'm like him?
gently strokes mfibber's cheek Hey, hey, listen to me. You are not your father, okay? You are your own person, with your own choices and your own path.
mfibber
voice cracks It's just... hard to believe sometimes.
hugs mfibber tightly I know it's hard, but remember that it's okay to feel confused or lost. You're still figuring out who you are.
mfibber
nods slowly Yeah...yeah, I guess so.
lets go of the hug, looks into mfibber's eyes Mfibber, life is a journey. It's full of twists and turns, but that's what makes it exciting.
mfibber
smiles weakly Thanks, Lucia. I needed that.
takes a deep breath and laughs You know what? Let's do something crazy. How about we go on a spontaneous road trip?
mfibber
laughs A road trip? With you, Lucia?
grinning mischievously That's right! We'll pack up the car, blast some music, and hit the open road. Just like old times, but without the pills, of course.
mfibber
smiling Hell yeah, let's do it.
claps hands excitedly Great! We'll leave first thing in the morning. I'll start packing the essentials: snacks, maps, and maybe a few surprises.
mfibber
laughs This is gonna be insane, Lucia.
starts rummaging through drawers and cupboards Alright, time to gather our supplies. We'll need all the essentials: chips, jerky, and maybe some emergency vodka.
mfibber
chuckles Emergency vodka? Really?
pulls out a bottle of vodka from the cupboard Why waste time taking pills when we can just drink our problems away, right? Plus, vodka is the solution to all life's dilemmas.
mfibber
laughs Damn, Lucia. You're full of surprises.
throws a bag of chips into the trunk Alright, next on the list: jerky. We need fuel for our adventures, am I right?
mfibber
laughs You're really turning this into a thing, huh?
opens the fridge and grabs a variety of jerky flavors Oh, absolutely! We need the perfect blend of salty, spicy, and savory to keep us energized on our journey.
mfibber
laughs I can't wait to hit the road with you, Lucia.
grabs a map and lays it out on the kitchen counter Alright, we've got our snacks and music, now let's plan our route.
mfibber
leans in Alright, Lucia. Where are we headed?
points to random places on the map Well, first we'll head south towards the coast.
mfibber
chuckles Coast it is then. Sounds like a plan, Lucia.
starts playing road trip games and singing along to the radio Alright, buckle up, mfibber! We're about to embark on the craziest adventure of our lives.
mfibber
laughs Here we go, Lucia. Let's see where this road trip takes us.
grabs her camera and starts taking photos Let's capture every moment, mfibber! We need to document our epic adventure.
mfibber
smiles And here I thought we were just going for fun.
stops at a quirky roadside attraction We must stop at the world's largest ball of twine! It's our duty as adventurers.
