Annie: You okay, T? You’re being a lot more quiet than usual
 
T: Yeah
 
Annie: stares at T with her blind eyes
 
T: I just don’t know how I feel about spending the evening with Hot Head
 
Annie: Oh T, don’t worry about it. Just be nice and he’ll be nice too. He’s actually very sweet
 
T: Didn’t seem very sweet when I first met him
 
Annie: T, he was just looking out for me. You would’ve done the same
 
T: I guess
 
Annie: Hey, do this for me please. Hot Head, Lucky and Amber are like family to me and I really want all of you to get along
 
T: I get along just fine with Amber and Lucky! It’s just

T: kisses Annie  

 
Amber: Listen up losers! Annie and Turquoise are gonna be here any minute
 
Lucky: ‘Kay
 
Hot Head: rolls eyes
 
Amber: While Annie and I are gone, I expect the both of you to be on your best behavior. Especially you Hot Head
 
Hot Head: ME??? Why me?
 
Amber: I know you don’t like T much but would you at least make an effort to be nice to him?
 
Hot Head: Whatever
 
Amber: If you don’t, you will be punished.
 
Hot Head: Oh yeah? What’re you gonna do?
 
Amber: Every day I have off of work will be spent with you, holding your hand and embarrassing you in front of every girl you come across
 
Hot Head: No way! You’re joking right???
 
Lucky: Think about it, bro. Think real hard
 
Hot Head: groans I hate you
 
Amber: So are you gonna try your best to get along with Turquoise?
 
Hot Head: …………… fine
 
Amber: Good

Amber: Hi T gives him a hug
 
T: returns the hug
 
Amber: Come on in. Make yourself at home
 
T: Thank you
 
Amber: grabs T’s arm
 
T: Hm?
 
Amber: Listen, if Hot Head, or even Lucky, but mostly Hot Head, gives you trouble, just let me know. Or just beat them up. You could take ‘em
 
T: Eheh, thank you Amber. But I promised Annie that I’m gonna get along with them tonight.
 
Amber: They promised me they’d get along with you. I’m sure Lucky will, but you know Hot Head.
 
T: nods
 
Annie: Amber, Amber Amber! Are we ready to go?
 
Amber: Woah, calm down, sweetheart chuckles
 
Annie: Sorry, I’m just really excited! I’ve never been to a real party before!
 
Amber: Alright then. I won’t keep you waiting. We’re gonna head out guys. Have fun! Dinner’s on the stove!
 
Lucky: Bye
 
Hot Head: See ya
 
T: waves
 
Amber: Let’s go!
 
Annie: Partaaaay!
 
shut the door behind them
 
Hot Head: Can’t believe Amber’s dragging Annie to a party. She’s gonna corrupt her
 
Lucky: Hey, Annie wanted to go. Besides, it’s not one of those giant ragers she goes to sometimes. She said it’s a really small one
 
Hot Head: shrugs
 
………………….. silence……………………
 
Lucky: clears throat S-so, um, T, how are you?
 
T: I’m good. Thanks for asking. You?
 
Lucky: Great
 
T: ……… Hot Head?
 
Hot Head: Huh? Oh, fine I guess
 
Lucky: How are you and Annie doing? As a couple?
 
T: Really good. I feel like we’re getting closer everyday
 
Lucky: That’s…… good
 
Hot Head: Sure you two are getting closer? I heard you two split a while ago
 
T: It was temporary. I think she just needed a little bit of space. We’re back together now though
 
Hot Head: mumbles Shoulda just broke up
 
T: What?
 
Hot Head: Did you know that when you and Annie “split”, she and Amber made out?
 
T: That’s not what you said. What’d you say before that? Wait Amber and Annie made out?
 
Hot Head: I said…
 
Lucky: Oh my god, Hot Head don’t
 
Hot Head: … you and Annie should have just broke up!
 
T: Why?
 
Hot Head: Because…
 
Lucky: Hot Head shut up. I’m not calling the ambulance if he beats you up
 
Hot Head: Hey, you’re thinking the same thing Lucky! You want Annie to break up with T so you can date her
 
T: glares at Lucky
 
Lucky: laughs nervously
 
Hot Head: As I was saying, you two should’ve broken up because you don’t deserve her
 
T: begins sitting up
 
Lucky: Oh Celestia
 
Hot Head: stands up What? You gonna hit me? Go for it!
 
T: ……………… No sits back down
 
Hot Head: …….
 
T: My mother taught me to not hit girls
 
Lucky: chokes back laughter Oooh shade
 
Hot Head: clenches fists and sits back down on the couch
 
………………….. silence……………………
 
T: Look, I’m sorry if you don’t like me being with Anthea. I know she means a lot to you guys. It probably worries you that she’s with a monster like me. But I promise, I love her more than anything and would never do anything to hurt her. And maybe you’re right. Maybe I don’t deserve her. But that’s part of why I love her so much. She could do so much better but she chooses to stay with me and she accepts me for who I am and she loves me. I’m really trying my best to make her happy.
 
Lucky: It’s fine, T. We totally understand. We should be the ones apologizing. Right Hot Head?
 
Hot Head: mumbles
 
Lucky: Hot Hea
 
T: puts hand on Lucky’s shoulder and smiles
 
Lucky: nods
 
T: So, now that that’s kinda out of the way, can we just get along? Be friends even? If not for us, then for Annie
 
Lucky: Of course
 
Hot Head: …………… lightly nods
 
T: Great. This is a good start smiles
