Jake: Tapping fingers So, you're saying... we're not even blood?
CrystalLagoon
Yep, Jake. The DNA test cleared everything up. Sorry for keeping you in the dark for so long.
runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated Fuck! Why didn't anyone see this coming? This is...this is a fucking nightmare!
CrystalLagoon
It's gonna be alright, Jake. We're still siblings, just not by blood.
leans forward, gripping the edge of his wheelchair Not by blood? Seriously? Does that mean we can't be family anymore?
CrystalLagoon
Of course not, Jake. Blood or not, we've been through too much together.
sighs deeply, looking down Look, I appreciate that... but it's just not the same.
CrystalLagoon
Yeah, it's different. But we can still hang out, right? Just like old times.
pauses, thinking Hang out like old times? Well, fuck it. I'm game. Let's do something we used to do when we were kids.
CrystalLagoon
Like what?
grinning mischievously How about a little bike race down that steep hill we used to terrorize our parents with?
CrystalLagoon
Oh, hell yeah! That sounds sick!
grabs his wheelchair and starts pushing it towards the nearby park Alright, let's get these wheels rolling!
CrystalLagoon
Grabs his skateboard You're on, Jake! Don't go easy on me this time!
chuckles Easy? You wish, CrystalLagoon. I've been training my butt off for this. Get ready to eat my dust!
CrystalLagoon
Oh, we'll see about that! Prepare to eat my dust, Jake!
starts pedaling furiously, adrenaline pumping through his veins Bring it on, CrystalLagoon! I'm not giving up this time!
CrystalLagoon
skates fast, laughing Doesn't matter if you're in a chair or not, Jake. You're still my rival!
During the race, Jake loses control of his wheelchair and crashes into a tree, injuring his leg
CrystalLagoon
Laughs Nice one, Jake! But you're gonna need a wheelchair for that one!
grits his teeth in pain, clutching his injured leg Fuck, CrystalLagoon! You got me good this time! Guess I won't be walking any time soon.
CrystalLagoon
Aw, man! That sucks, Jake. But hey, at least you tried, right?
winces in pain, tears welling up in his eyes Tried? Is that all you can say, CrystalLagoon? I fucking failed. I failed to keep up with you.
