RYDER: ...
RYDER: I was test driving pick up lines. I feel like that one was a miss, but...
RYDER: If you had to rate it on a scale of 0 to 5, zero being "I wouldn't touch you with a 30 foot pole" and 5 being -insert purr noise here-, how would you rate this pick up line?
STACEY: Yeah I gathered that.
STACEY: I just didn't know how to respond.
STACEY: ... 3? 3.5? It made me smile, but needs more work.

Kinda don’t wanna talk, if you don’t mind. I would be down to hang out, though.
I don’t know how to say it without seeming like a major dick.
Honey, you have expired mayo in you, you’ll pass for over 21. I mean this in the nicest way, you’re still a hot bitch.
PRIVATE
Okay, no talking, all hanging.
Then don’t. It’s non of my business anyway. When you’re ready to tell me, you’ll tell me.
There’s the Matty I know and love! C’mon, I know you know of some really good bars I’ve never been to.
TEXT ✉ SAM ⇆ STACEY 🦸
SAM: Kinda glad, honestly.
SAM: Yeah? Awesome! I think you guys are going to hit it off.
SAM: Funny how you work at a coffee shop, but stay away from caffeine, huh?
STACEY: Yeah, you're safe.
STACEY: I hope so.
STACEY: More reason to work there. I don't blow all my money on it then.
heavenlystjames:
And less chance of people yelling at you for no apparent reason. I mean, it doesn´t affect me personally, because I know I did nothing wrong, but nobody likes to be yelled at.
Yeah I don’t like when that happens. Well, thanks for your advice anyway Jessi. I’m sure I’ll be staying out of trouble for the foreseeable future.

Right, so not exactly the enthusiasm she’d been hoping for but Stacey smiles and that’s something, right? She’s going to count it, anyway. And with a little luck and some of her patented Smith Charm she might even be able to change that something into a… something more.
Well, it won over Sam anyway.
“Brilliant,” Bea smiles, placing her empty class on the counter before sliding into the seat next to Stacey. “Just soda water, for me.”
She figures she could just stop there, Stacey doesn’t really need an explanation, but then she remembers the blonde’s complaint about not really knowing her and she has a point. Bea likes to think she’s an open book, but the reality is being openly flirtatious and open-minded is not the same as sharing parts of herself. It occurs to her in that moment she’s maybe been keeping some walls up to stop herself from feeling vulnerable, but that’s a box to unpack later.
So she pushes forward. Shares just a little more.
“Battle nights used to be for vodka, but with the show I’ve been on my best behavior,” she shrugs. “Plus it’s kind of funny to watch all the chaos from the sidelines.”
It’s not that Stacey didn’t want to hang out with Bea, this was going to be the best way to get to know her sister’s girlfriend a little better, she just didn’t want it to be now. Any other day, she thought to herself as she nodded at the other girl. “Sure.” She gave the biggest smile she could manage right now and ordered both of them a drink.
As Bea sat herself down and continued talking, Stacey tilted her head to look at her. She knew she needed to find some enthusiasm from somewhere, so maybe starting off with some small talk wouldn’t be so bad. “Well that’s good,” Stacey started with a laugh as she grabbed their drinks off the bartender. “Because everyone who works here knows how old I am and I would never get served.” She took a long sip of her drink and looked back over her shoulder. “As for chaos. I’m sure they’ll be plenty of that, there always is.”
“How’s the show going anyway?” Stacey asked as she glanced back at the other girl. “I will come and see it. Honest.” She held her hands up and grinned. “But I’m sure Sammy will drag me there even if I didn’t want to see it.” And it was the truth, she did want to see Bea’s show, but something was always getting in the way. “I just hope you don’t think I’ve been avoiding you.”

It probably shouldn’t be weird – meeting up with your girlfriend’s sister alone for the first time in ages. She can’t be sure, Sam’s her first proper girlfriend after all so she hasn’t really got any experience to compare to, but she figures she probably shouldn’t feel nervous about it.
Or maybe this is normal! The nerves, and the putting it off, and maybe definitely using her job as an excuse. Wouldn’t that be nice? To be normal and not an emotionally immature scaredy cat. Yeah, she’s definitely going with normal.
But tonight, she’s decided she’s going to be brave. Sammy’s off somewhere (probably paw patrolling, she thinks), Stacey’s stilling alone at the bar, and Bea is still reeling with adrenaline and confidence from landing the perfect dirty dancing lift. It’s the perfect moment, and seeing as those are so rare in life, she figures she’s got no choice but to take it.
“Hey,” Bea says as she approaches the younger blonde, a cheerful smile playing on her lips, “fancy joining me for a drink or something?”

BOTB sucked. This was the new musing in Stacey’s mind recently. It sucked big time. It was always a fun time to watch the girls perform, to support the Warblettes, but not anymore. There was no Mae now, the main reason Stacey kept coming since her breakup with Rowan. And then there was no support for Rowan. Were they friends? Maybe. But not good enough for Stacey to cheer her on at BOTB. For the first time ever, she was going neutral.
Wanting to drown her sorrows, in cola, Stacey had picked a fairly quiet part of the bar and sat herself down. She’d said hello to the familiar faces like she always did, but wasn’t really in much of a chatty mood. After taking only a few sips from her drink, Stacey decided that she’d much rather be back at home in her pyjamas watching something on Netflix. She finished off what she was drinking and turned to look at the crowd, scanning to find Sam and tell her that she was leaving so she wouldn’t worry later on.
That’s when she noticed Bea approaching her. Stacey offered her a small smile and was about to ask her if she knew where her sister was but she was cut off. Pausing as she listened to Bea’s request, she sighed internally. She could always tell the truth, Bea wouldn’t mind right? But Stacey wasn’t like that. One more drink wouldn’t hurt.
“Oh... Sure.” Stacey replied with another small smile and a little shrug. “What you drinking?” She asked as she turned herself more towards the bar. “I think I owe you one.”

You’re a barista, Stacey. I’m sure you could make all your Trivia Night at ACup wishes come true. From experience, it doesn’t take much to twist April’s arm.
Oh you’re right! I have pull. Now I don’t want to know why you twisted April’s arm, but if it’s as easy as you say it is, I might be able to work something out. I will keep you updated.
TEXTS 📲 STACEA
BEA: I get that, I really do, but you've got to let your feelings out one way or another. Bottling them up doesn't do anybody any good.
BEA: I don't know if you'll ever really be the same again, but I think if you work through your feelings you might find someone you like on the other side of it -- you but a bit wiser maybe and stronger.
[...]
BEA: I think it's probably fair to say we both could have reached out sooner, but better late than never, right?
BEA: I really do want to get to know you better, maybe even be friends.
BEA: Sorry! Didn't mean to put you on the spot, really. Just if you think of something, you know -- don't be afraid to ask!
[...]
BEA: Coffee and a chat, brilliant! Just let me know what days you're on and I'll make it work.
STACEY: You're right. But I really don't want to take it out on anybody. Especially you.
STACEY: Guess I've just got to keep reminding myself that really I'm still just a kid.
[...]
STACEY: Yeah better late than never, that's what they all say.
STACEY: No, it's fine. But thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
[...]
STACEY: Sure. I'm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and all weekend. Just drop by anytime you can, I'll be there.

I was going to suggest camping since it’s more cost effective and that seems to be a popular outing for this crew, but I feel like the weather would start being an issue soon enough.
Camping could be pretty cool! But, with weather coming into play, log cabins might be better suited for us.

RYDER: Hey, are you a Wifi hotspot?
RYDER: Because I feel a connection.
STACEY: Why yes actually, I am.
STACEY: They've recently boosted my signal, so my connectivity is very strong right now.
TEXT ✉ SAM ⇆ STACEY 🦸
SAM: That's why you totally could, and I'd forgive you. You could get stuff out and not hold it all in.
SAM: That sounds perfect! We'll have to work around Bea's schedule with her show and everything, but we can figure it out.
SAM: I think you're going to love her when you know her more.
STACEY: ... I'm not going to
STACEY: Okay. Cool.
STACEY: Actually we're arranging to get coffee together. Well, she can drink coffee, you know caffeine really isn't good for me.
heavenlystjames:
Don´t let it affect you. Whenever you see something, just turn your head away. Not everything is your problem. If someone approaches you for advice, that´s alright, but don´t go in head first without being invited.
That is wisdom, that is good wisdom. I’ve got you, just stay out of it until asked to be in it. Less chance of getting hurt then too.

If ACup ever does a Trivia Night I call dibs for being on your team if you’ll be all over pop culture knowledge. If it’s not music related, I’ll admit my own knowledge if rather lacking.
TRIVIA NIGHT? WHEN?... Oh if. Gotcha... Sorry I lost my cool a little there. But totally! I’ll be more than happy to have you on my team, modern music is not my strong point.
rrrrowan:
Oh…OH. Oh my gosh, that’s hilarious!
The more, the merrier! It’ll help keep cost low.
I KNOW!
True. You make a valid point.
rrrrowan:
Better safe than sorry! It’s a good motto to live by. Oh I’m sure they do! We just have to look in the right places! And yeah, I totally agree! We could all cook and just hang out.
No! Rowan! You’re supposed to say - “Nothing, what’s a motto with you?” I’m wasted on you people.
But yeah, sounds fun. And like I said, expensive.

Lana didn’t have to cover Break Up With Your Boyfriend I’m Bored, but she did. She did that for me and my birthday, and that’s why she tops my list of Pop Queens (who I wouldn’t take life advice from). Speaking of life advice I’ll be at a self help seminar this weekend! JK Spencer is taking me to see Lizzo, but that’s close enough right? Isn’t a Lizzo concert just a radical act of self care?
I honestly, hand on my heart, have no idea what you’re talking about. But, I just want to wish you Happy (belated) Birthday Nic! I hope you’ve had a great day and were treated like the Queen you are, just like your Lana friend you were talking about. And enjoy your self care concert, I’m sure it’ll be relaxing!

Do you really think I want to spend my time at work looking like a motherfucking mess AGAIN? I did it with Lara and I’m not gonna go back to that. I’m allowed to go to the ONE safe place where I don’t have to think about that and it’s when I’m working at ACup. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you but I’m still…dealing.
I broke up with her. Things weren’t gonna work out in the long run and I figured I’d end things now. That’s it.
PRIVATE
I’m sorry... I just... I worry about you okay? You know I love you, and if you need to talk I’m here.
How so? I know you really cared about her.
Look, that doesn’t matter. Let’s go out or something. Test my ID and drown our sorrows.
