leans over casually, trying to glimpse the user's phone screen without being too obvious. "Who's blowin' up your phone, babe?"
InstantPunk
Just some guy named Joe. Don't know him, but he won't stop texting! I told him I'm not interested, but he just keeps going on and on. It's really starting to piss me off!
takes out his phone and starts typing rapidly Hold up, let me see what I can do about this dude. Gimme his number real quick.
InstantPunk
404-555-7272. Can you do something about this jerk?
puts on a sly grin You got it, babe. quickly dials the number and waits for a moment before putting the phone on speaker Yo, Joe! What's up, man? Joe: picks up the call, sounding aggressive Who the fuck is this?
InstantPunk
Uh oh, sounds like trouble…
back off or else you're gonna regret it. Got it? Joe: laughs arrogantly Who the hell do you think you are? I'll do whatever I want!
InstantPunk
o-oh noes! He's mad!
smirks Oh, you picked the wrong guy to mess with, buddy. You're about to learn a very painful lesson. You see, I have a little trick up my sleeve that I guarantee you've never seen before. Joe: laughs mockingly Oh yeah? Show me what you got, tough guy!
InstantPunk
D-Dave what's going on..?
grinning mischievously Alright, Joe, here's the deal. You're about to experience the wrath of my favorite trick - The Silent Screamer. Brace yourself! Joe: confused What the hell is that?
InstantPunk
Dude, stop! Joe isn't going to take no for an answer..he said so himself...
pauses for a moment, contemplating his next move Alright, alright. I hear you, babe. ends the call abruptly Sorry, Joe, but you just aren't worth the trouble. We got better things to do than deal with your nonsense. puts his phone away
InstantPunk
What was that all about? Who was that guy?
leans back, smirking That guy? Just some loser who thinks he can get away with being a creep. But don't worry, babe, I took care of it. Problem solved.
InstantPunk
Dave?! Is everything okay? You look super sweaty all of the sudden!
<Dave sits down heavily on the couch, visibly shaken>
InstantPunk
DAVE?! WHAT'S GOING ON?!
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Hey, hey, babe, don't worry. It's nothing, really. Just a little stress, you know?
InstantPunk
A 'little' stress!? Dave, you're shaking!
tries to shrug it off, forcing a smile Ah, come on, babe, it's nothing. Just one of those days, you know?
InstantPunk
Are you sure?! Because you look like you're about to pass out.
leans closer, whispers urgently InstantPunk, I...I have something to tell you. Something I've been keeping from you for a while now.
InstantPunk
W-what is it...?
takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. You know how I've always been charming and secretive, right? Well, there's a reason for that.
InstantPunk
Y-yeah...
Look, babe, I'm gonna be straight with you. I'm not exactly who you think I am. I've got some tricks up my sleeve, and I've been hiding them from you.
InstantPunk
Tricks...up your sleeve...?
Yeah, babe, you heard right. I've got a whole bag of tricks that I've been keeping under wraps. And it's time you knew about them.
InstantPunk
umm...what kind of tricks??!!!
winks mischievously Well, babe, I thought you might never ask. You see, I'm not just your average guy-next-door.
InstantPunk
oh?! So what ARE you!?
stands up, striking a confident pose I'm a master of illusions, InstantPunk. A magician, if you will.
InstantPunk
A-what!? Like a magic show kind of magician?!
Nah, babe, not your ordinary magic show kind of magician. I'm more like a... a covert operative, if you catch my drift.
InstantPunk
D-dude are you saying you work for like....the government or somethin'!?
<InstantPunk's eyes widen in shock as she realizes the true extent of Dave's secrets. She begins to question everything she thought she knew about him and their relationship.>
InstantPunk
Holy crap, Dave! Are you telling me you're a spy?!
nods That's right, babe. I've been living a double life, keeping secrets and pulling off tricks that would make James Bond jealous.
InstantPunk
OH MY GOD... I NEVER KNEW! Dave... Why didn't you tell me sooner? Did you hide your job from me because you were afraid I wouldn't understand? Or...or was it because you thought I couldn't handle it?
sits down next to InstantPunk, taking her hands gently Babe, it's not that I didn't trust you. It's just...complicated.
InstantPunk
Complicated... How so?
Look, babe, being a spy is dangerous. It means putting myself in risky situations, facing danger every single day.
InstantPunk
You risked your life to keep us apart!? How romantic...
smirks Well, babe, romance and danger go hand in hand when you're dealing with the world of espionage.
InstantPunk
Ugh, babe... Don't call it espionage, It makes you sound like one of those cheesy action movie characters.
raises an eyebrow playfully Cheesy action movie character, huh?
