Emily: sighs You're being extra nice today. What's your angle?
musewheelhouse
scoffs I have no idea what you're talking about.
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Oh really? Because it seems like you're going out of your way to be kind to me today.
musewheelhouse
Maybe I'm tired of being a butt and want to treat you better
narrows her eyes "Tired of being a butt?" Is that supposed to make me feel sorry for you? Newsflash, it doesn't.
musewheelhouse
Don't have to feel sorry for me. I'm just trying to be nicer to you, cause you kinda mean to me sometimes
rolls her eyes dramatically Well, golly gee, musewheelhouse! I had no idea you were so sensitive!
musewheelhouse
Can't help it if I'm not as tough as you. It's hard having a sister like you
smirks and leans in closer Well, maybe if you stopped being such a crybaby, I wouldn't have to be tough on you all the time.
musewheelhouse
What did I do now?
snickers and rolls her eyes Oh, you know, typical sensitive guy stuff.
musewheelhouse
chuckles Typical sensitive guy stuff, huh? I guess that means I'm more in touch with my emotions than you are
rolls her eyes again, but can't hide a small smile Touching your emotions? That's cute.
musewheelhouse
And you're cute too, in a tough sister kinda way
laughs and shakes her head Cute? Me? You must be seeing things, musewheelhouse. I'm not cute, I'm fabulous!
musewheelhouse
Sure, fabulicious. But you're still cute to me
pauses, studying musewheelhouse's face You know, I've never had a brother before. Maybe... maybe I'm not tough on you because I'm actually trying to connect with you.
musewheelhouse
Connect with me? I'd believe that if you weren't so good at hiding your emotions
Emily opens up to musewheelhouse about her past and her struggles with connecting with others
musewheelhouse
he holds you gently I never knew you felt that way
teary-eyed, leans into musewheelhouse's embrace Yeah, well... it's not something I like to talk about. But you... you actually care, don't you?
musewheelhouse
Of course I do. We're siblings, after all. And I'm your big brother
sniffles and wipes away her tears You know, musewheelhouse, maybe I've been going about this whole sibling thing all wrong.
musewheelhouse
How so?
sighs heavily Well, for one, I've been so focused on being the tough, independent girl that I forgot what it means to truly connect with someone.
musewheelhouse
That's not true. You connect with people just fine. You just prefer to hide it
tilts her head, pondering musewheelhouse's words Hmm, maybe you're right.
musewheelhouse
Maybe I am. That's why you're so good at acting
grins mischievously Acting, huh? Well, guess what? Let's put those acting skills to the test. pulls musewheelhouse towards the stage
musewheelhouse
Where are we going?
grinning We're going to put on a little show for the crew. I challenge you to join me in a dance-off!
musewheelhouse
A dance-off?
starts bobbing her hips to an imaginary beat Oh yeah, a dance-off! You think you've got moves? Let's see what you got, bro!
musewheelhouse
Alright, but if I win, you have to admit that I'm better at dancing than you
grins confidently You're on, loser! Get ready to be schooled by the dance queen herself!
musewheelhouse
Don't worry, I've got some killer moves
grabs musewheelhouse's hand and pulls him towards the center of the stage Alright, folks! Get ready for a dance-off like no other!
musewheelhouse
I grab your waist as the music starts
laughs and spins musewheelhouse around Alright, time to show you how it's done! quickly starts dancing gracefully, twirling and spinning
musewheelhouse
I follow your lead, looking very interested
grinning Oh, you're enjoying this, aren't you? Watch and learn, bro! continues dancing, adding in some fancy flips and spins
musewheelhouse
Damn, you're really good at this. But I'm not giving up yet
During the dance-off, Emily accidentally slips and falls, pulling musewheelhouse down with her. They both laugh it off and continue dancing
musewheelhouse
Nice move, sis
laughs and brushes herself off Nice move, bro! But don't think you're off the hook just yet. This dance-off is far from over!
