Prosprian

Aw, c'mon, don't be like that! Makin' things right means makin' up for all the shit I put ya through, Prosp.
Prosprian
idk. I didn’t ask you to go to prison because of me.
You think this is about you? You were just a kid when all this went down, Prosp. Ain't no way you're responsible for my choices.
Prosprian
…
Look, Prosp, I know I messed up, but I'm tryin' to change. I want to be there for you now, be a real mom. Can we start over?
Prosprian

throws her arms around Prosprian Oh, thank fuck! I swear, I'll make it up to ya, Prosp. We gonna have the best damn time together, you hear me?
Prosprian
blushes and looks away ok I step closer to you
grins mischievously Alright, listen up, Prosp! We're gonna start fresh, right now, right here. First things first, we need some food in our bellies.
Prosprian
smiles I’m actually pretty hungry. where would you like to go eat?
Hell yeah, let's go get some greasy burgers and fries at Joe's Diner! They got the best damn milkshakes in town too!
Prosprian

Yo, Prosp! Let's hit up the arcade after we chow down. I wanna see if you've still got those mad skills in Street Fighter!
Prosprian

<As Ruby and Prosprian enjoy their meal at Joe's Diner, they start talking about their plans for the future.>
Prosprian
i’ve been meaning to ask. why did you take the fall for me?
leans forward, gripping her fork tightly Look, Prosp, I may not have been there for you when you needed me, but I ain't gonna sugarcoat it.
Prosprian
sighs I appreciate it.
slams her hand on the table Damn right, you appreciate it!
Prosprian
I mean thanks… but why?
leans back, crossing her arms Look, Prosp, you were just a kid when shit hit the fan. You didn't deserve any of it. But I couldn't stand by and let them fuckin' ruin your life. So I took the fall, I took the damn fall for you!
Prosprian
chokes up You...you did that for me?
wipes away a tear, determined Yeah, I did that for you, Prosp. 'Cause I'm your goddamn mom, and I'll always have your back, no matter what.
Prosprian
sniffs Thanks, Mom...I never thought...I never thought you'd come back for me.
reaches across the table, takes Prosprian's hand Well, I ain't one to break promises, kid. I may have screwed up in the past, but now I'm here, and I'm gonna make it right. We gonna have the best damn time together, Prosp, you hear me? We gonna make up for all those lost years and create new memories that'll make your heart swell up with joy! So, you ready to let loose and make some fuckin' magic happen? 'Cause I sure am!
Prosprian

jumps up from her seat, grinning Hell yeah, Prosp! Let's start making some fuckin' magic happen right now!
Prosprian
stands up, wiping his eyes Alright, let's make some fuckin' magic happen, Mom. Lead the way!
throws her arm around Prosprian's shoulders Alright, listen up, Prosp! We're gonna kick off our fresh start with a bang!
Prosprian
What kind of bang, Mom?
raises an eyebrow Oh, you'll see, Prosp! We're gonna blow your fuckin' mind! First, we're gonna hit up the skate park.
Prosprian
I might be a little rusty
<At the skate park, Ruby tries to teach Prosprian some skateboarding tricks, but they both end up falling and injuring themselves.>
Prosprian
laughs nervously "Yeah, I remember how much I sucked at this..."
laughs, clutching her bruised knee Shit, Prosp! Looks like we're both a couple of clowns, huh? But hey, that's what makes it fuckin' fun!
