Sunny: if you DID you'd better set my ghost up with them so I can at least be loved from beyond the grave

Sunny: Oh! That's fun. Can't wait to hear it. :)

Gerti: Duh!!! Who do you think I am? That's why I'd get someone specifically freaky.

Gerti: Yeah, I'm actually pretty pumped to debut this one! It's Too bad I didn't write it sooner tbh, definitely going to be one of our biggest hits 🖤

Sunny: You wouldn't get one because I'd haunt every potential manager you plan to interview.

Sunny: Is that why you smooooooooched him? Cause you found him conventionally attractive but with an awful personality? 😙😘😙😘😙 That's an interesting title for a song! Is it about addiction or like, idk death or something?

Gerti: I could get a really freaky manager who's into ghosts probably 🤔

Gerti: Some things should just be left in the summer and never spoken about again. But that was probably part of it idk. I know right? It's about love, the ultimate addiction 💊🚬

Sunny: EXCUUUUUSE ME, RUDE! You're supposed to be my best friend, not WISHING ME DEAD. College has changed you already.😪

Sunny: I would've made such a better Bachelorette! He's just a gross tall boy that for some reason girls think is hot. Sounds great! Start with Pea Soup, then TV Lights, and then what new ones did you want to bring in?

Gerti: I could neeever wish you dead, where would I get another band manager? 😛

Gerti: But then I'd have to disown you and it would suck. He's Very disgusting, but he is actually what most girls would consider "hot", It's the personality that's a mood killer. That's a good order, I'd have to talk to Mack about which ones we want to debut but we have one called Candy Cigarettes that's pretty ready to go out.

Sunny: ugh I mean like if she was kidnapped from prom royalty and then had to be crowned!!!! I'm not good at analogies.

Sunny: cause he has to have all the attention and he met an attention-enabler in RJ! Speaking of your songs, The Fucking Duckling is the only one that approved our rooftop concert, so I'm gonna need a setlist. Classics or new songs?

Gerti: Oh. That's such a...eh scenario but I still think getting kidnapped Recently and having to be rescued by a tiny rat faced Boo Boomer is worth the pity win. Maybe we should've tried to kill you this summer instead.

Gerti: Disgusting but at least it's not you instead! I think for the Fucking Duckling we should start classic, then mostly new ones, and end on Rocket Launcher since it's the favorite?

Sunny: A N O N F A C T O R. Unless she was kidnapped FROM her royal family like my moooooooom, that shouldn't be a reason to win prom queen.

Sunny: A N Y W A Y S, did you hear my brother is doing that ridiculous Walt Bachelor thing? I was really hoping it would be canceled because of the Poof but here we are. 🙄

Gerti: IT JUST HAPPENED! Your mom got kidnapped a million years ago! Anyway do you really want to be SHRAY'S prom queen? Let the dorks win!

Gerti: I heard, it's so stupid. Why can't he just get a tinderella like the rest of the free world? I'd ask you to try and get one of our songs on there but that's so opposite our brand, I'd rather not go anywhere near it

Mack wasn’t necessarily thrilled to be at the block party, but then again Mack was very rarely thrilled at all. He was mostly there because of Sunny’s endless begging to come maybe watch her win prom queen, and while he wanted her to win, he also didn’t want to be associated with anyone from WU much past dinnertime. He found a quiet spot and leaned against a tree, propping himself up with his foot. He dug around in his pocket until he found his box of candy cigarettes, holding one in his mouth as he scanned the crowd. He had almost settled into a nice peace when someone spoke from behind him, causing him to startle. He dropped the candy out of his mouth, “Damn,” He cursed, bending down to pick it up. “That was my last one,” He tossed out over his shoulder to whoever had the nerve to sneak up on him. “Warn a guy next time.” 

[gogerti]

"Candy cigarettes are bad for you, you know." Gerti chirped loudly behind Mack, grinning with delight as the candy dropped out of his mouth. She dodged his toss with ease and moved to stand next to him, perching her arm on his shoulder. "What are you doing skulking in the shadows, isn't that supposed to be my job? I figured Sunny would have you playing prom date, excuse me, escort to the future prom queen all night." Gerti didn't bother hiding the petulance in her voice, by this point she figured Mack would already know by now that he and Sunny as a duo never be off the hook for almost costing their band Battle of The Bands. "Anyway, I come bearing cotton candy. Do you want some?"

Sunny: Because I'm more likable than Sofia! I have like, 200k more followers than she does, and whenever people make those 'rating princesses in Walt' TikToks I'm ALWAYS on the good Hannah Montana transition sound! It doesn't make any sense!

Sunny: But whatever, you're right, I have the crown that you guys gave me and it's beautiful and I love you guys a lot. I'll be grateful...as a treat.

Gerti: S h e. g o t. k i d n a p p e d !!!

Gerti: ...As a treat. Lmao.

Sunny: Are you HAPPY?? You jinxed me, I lost to S O F I A, and now I have to pretend like I'm not absolutely crushed.

Gerti: I jinxed you HOW? You already got a crown! That probably "jinxed you"! And why are you CRUSHED! The girl got kidnapped this summer, why would you have e v e r beat that!

[gogerti]

why did you kiss Lior over break?

Because he’s a hottie and there’s nothing I love more than the cliche of being into my best friend’s dumbass older brother.

You know you the point of your pity prom was so we wouldn’t have to deal with you being a prombie when we got back to Walt, right? We should all be focusing on some kind of big Walt comeback performance to remind everyone how badass we are!

I’m sorry, did you plan my so-called ‘pity prom’? No, that was Mack, so you don’t know his motives and I have a feeeeeeeling it had nothing to do with me being a prombie. But you truly underestimate me, G. I’ve already been in contact with the Welcome Back carnival and various buildings with the best rooftops for a potential Beatles-esque rooftop concert. Hot Boy & Gerti are gonna thrive in this new Walt. Now let me thrive with my fucking crown. 

[gogerti]

No, because I don't encourage banality. But I know Mack and I have a feeeeeling that it probably did have to do with you being a sad little prombie sack. Oh worm? Any good leads so far? You get your "Best Manager Ever" crown back but the second I allow you to rot with a prom crown is the second I stop being a true bestie to you and neither of us want that.

[sunnyfitzherbert]

Okay, so I’m confused…I do get my prom queen crown or I don’t? Like is this make-up prom legit or like, a glorified block party? Cause I know I ran unopposed, but I still think I earned it. But only if it’s for real. I already had a perfect prom redux, the only thing I’d get from another one is the actual crown.

[gogerti]

I love you and the band but I'm scared that I might have some feels that are gonna like tear it apart so I'm just gonna bottle those up til I don't feel 'em anymore thanks good talk!!!!

[gogerti]

Your songwriting doesn't suck.

@riniboogie: You don't automatically win by default just by existing after us, just like you don't automatically win by default for existing before us. 🙄 Even if The Zappers die after we crush you guys, it's kind of poetic in that way. Like a bee -- we lived just to sting, then we die a valiant death. But duh, Boo and I will totally live on long after the Battle. We're super in love.

@gertalert: Winning at life is kind of a win by default IMO, but okay. Especially since you're Not going to crush us and this win will just be something cute for our resumes. 😏 Aw, how precious. I bet Lauryn and Wyclef thought the same thing

@rinibites: Look, I know that it sounds sus that I'm hiding out because of this magic disaster, but trust me -- you do not want to see me. I'm totally confident in my burlap 'n bugs but like, I don't think Walt's ready for alla' that.

@rinibites: A N Y W A Y, I'm here to say that if we can't get this thing under control before the 11th, then the Battle of the Bands is gonna have to be canceled. Because I don't have fingers to play the bass, and the other band's xylophonist is two inches tall, and nobody wants @HotBoyAndGerti to win by default. 🙄

@gertalert: If it's cancelled, don't we still kinda win by default? Since we're like, the only ACTUAL band competing anyway? We'll still live on past the 11th, will your band.. and relationship?
