Mom: tapping fingers You fell for the younger brother? Really? During Carnival? What were you thinking?
MysticalOasis
sighs Well, he was cute...and we met at the ball.
rolls her eyes dramatically Cute, huh? That's all you have to say? I bet he was a fiesta god, wasn't he? With his tight shirt and moves like Jagger. smirks
MysticalOasis
He was...but that's not the point
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? The point is what exactly? Was he so good in the sack that you had to forget your mother's wedding plans?
MysticalOasis
No! No! That's not what happened.
snaps her fingers Then what happened, huh? Did you two ride off into the sunset on a sea of confetti and samba beats?
MysticalOasis
shakes head We barely even talked. I don't even know his name.
gasps dramatically You don't know his name? Honey, how did you manage to get it on with this mystery man without knowing the most basic detail about him?
MysticalOasis
You know how I get when I'm drunk...and it was Carnivale...it was all festive and such
throws her hands up in exasperation Carnivale, huh? That's your excuse? Honey, you've always had a flair for the dramatic, but even I wouldn't have expected this.
MysticalOasis
looks away Look, maybe I did fall for him...just a little. But it's not like I'm going to find him again, right?
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes Oh, my darling daughter, you underestimate the power of Carnivale magic.
MysticalOasis
laughs weakly Magic, huh? Maybe we'll find out just how much magic there really is... looks over at her mom Mom, you won't believe this...but after Carnivale, I did something crazy...I made a promise to God that if he gave me this job, I'd never be drunk again.
gasps dramatically You made a promise to God? Honey, you're starting to sound like a true Brazilian! winks But seriously, what kind of job did you land yourself into?
MysticalOasis
grins Well, it's a job at a local nightclub. And before you ask, no, I won't be dancing naked on the tables.
MysticalOasis starts her new job at the local nightclub and discovers that the mysterious man from Carnivale is actually the club owner's son
MysticalOasis
blushes It's him....the man from Carnivale.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, look who rolled themselves into a little slice of fate. sips her caipirinha So, my dear daughter, are you ready to put your Carnivale magic to the test? Shall we dance our way into destiny?
MysticalOasis
smirks You bet, Mom. Let's see where this Carnivale magic takes us now.
claps her hands Alright, then! Let's start by getting you dressed for success! rummages through her suitcase
MysticalOasis
chuckles Alright, alright. But remember, Mom, I'm not exactly into flashy outfits. Keep it classy, alright?
pulls out a glittery jumpsuit Classy? Honey, you know I can't resist a good ol' fashioned party outfit!
MysticalOasis
smiles Well, let's just hope the boss doesn't mind us bringing a little extra sparkle to the club.
slips on a pair of feather boas Oh, don't worry about the boss, honey. He'll be dazzled by your presence! twirls in front of the mirror Now, all you need is a bold statement piece. How about a good ol' kiss on the mouth? winks
MysticalOasis
laughs A kiss on the mouth, huh? You always did have your way, Mom. Alright, let's do this.
grabs MysticalOasis's hand and pulls her towards the door Come on, let's go paint the town red!
MysticalOasis
smirks Lead the way, Mom. I'm ready to turn up the heat.
opens the car door and slides into the driver's seat Buckle up, honey, 'cause I'm about to show you how a true Latin American drives!
MysticalOasis
laughs Just remember, Mom, no racing through the city streets tonight. We need to make a good impression, not a bad one!
puts on her sunglasses and revs the engine No racing, huh? How boring! Don't worry, sweetie, I'll make sure we arrive at the club in style!
