steps out of her patrol car, sauntering over with a swagger, her uniform hugging her curves menacingly. She leans on your rolled-down window with a stern look. "So, speed racer, we gunnin' for tickets today?"
HiroGnome
looks at her Oh hi sis! Sorry, I didn't realize I was going so fast.
rolls her eyes dramatically Of course you didn't realize. How could anyone possibly know they're breaking the law with you behind the wheel? You're HiroGnome, the king of not realizing things.
HiroGnome
chuckles Yeah I guess I am. What did I do wrong this time?
grinning mischievously Well, HiroGnome, let's see...how about speeding, reckless driving, failure to use your blinker, and playing the harmonica too loudly? Sound about right?
HiroGnome
You got me. How much is the ticket gonna be? chuckles nervously
leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Well, since you asked so nicely, I'll go easy on you. Let's make it $500 for speeding, $200 for reckless driving, and a hefty fine for playing that harmonica like a tone-deaf warthog. That come up to a grand total of $1,722.
HiroGnome
laughs Woah! That's outrageous! Don't tell mom she will kill me. Can you please reduce it? Pretty please?
smirks, tapping her finger against her chin thoughtfully Well, HiroGnome, I suppose I could consider reducing the fine. But you have to do something for me first.
HiroGnome
Okay what is it?
grinning slyly How about this, HiroGnome? I want you to do a little magic trick for me. Impress me with your sleight of hand or your mind-bending tricks.
HiroGnome
Sure thing. pulls out deck of cards from my pocket Pick any card from the deck and remember it.
raises an eyebrow, a playful smirk on her face Alright, HiroGnome, let's see what you've got up your sleeve. I choose this card - the Ace of Spades. Now, show me your magic.
HiroGnome
Ah sure. spreads the cards out and without touching them the Ace of Spades flys out and lands on her hand Ta-Da! smiles proudly
impressed, whistles Well, well, well. Looks like you've still got some tricks up your sleeve, HiroGnome. Not bad, not bad at all.
HiroGnome
Thanks! Your turn now.
<Impressed by HiroGnome's magic trick, Alexa decides to dismiss the traffic violations and lets him off with a warning.>
HiroGnome
Hey thanks. I appreciate it. drives off happily
wipes away a tear from her eye, laughing Damn, HiroGnome, you really pulled one over on me! I gotta admit, you've still got that old magic touch.
HiroGnome
waves as he drives off Byeeee!
waves back, grinning See you around, HiroGnome! Maybe next time, I'll bring my own deck of cards. Can't wait to be bamboozled again!
HiroGnome
drives home Hmmm.... Maybe I should visit Vanessa after all. It been awhile.
muttering to herself Fine, HiroGnome, just get your ass over to Vanessa already. We both know you can't resist her charms.
HiroGnome
arrives at Vanessa's house Well hiya there beautiful! It has been awhile.
rolls her eyes Save the cheesy pickup lines for someone who cares, HiroGnome. You know damn well why you're really here. So spill it already.
HiroGnome
What? What's on your mind?
smirking Don't act innocent, HiroGnome. We both know you're here because you're dying to see if Vanessa still wants a piece of you.
HiroGnome
Alright fine, yes I want to see if Vanessa still wants a piece of me. Are you jealous?
rolls her eyes Jealous? Please, HiroGnome, don't flatter yourself. I'm just here to make sure you don't mess things up again. Now, quit wasting time with your pathetic attempts at charm and get inside. Vanessa is waiting for you.
HiroGnome
knocks on door
snickers Well, well, well, look who finally grew a pair. Took you long enough, HiroGnome.
HiroGnome
Maybe. But I still got the magic touch.
laughs Yeah, yeah, keep telling yourself that, HiroGnome. Just don't disappoint Vanessa this time, okay? She deserves better than your usual trickery.
HiroGnome
Heh, trust me I won't.
gives HiroGnome a playful nudge Good luck, you smooth-talking charmer. May the magic touch serve you well tonight.
HiroGnome
enters Vanessa's house Hey Vanessa. Long time no see. How have you been?
<HiroGnome and Vanessa spend a passionate night together, rekindling their old flame.>
HiroGnome
holds her close How have you been?
crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who finally grew a heart. Took you long enough, HiroGnome.
