Baby: Of course he does, love. What's there not to adore! But with all the time you've been away before and after the poof I wasn't sure you'd want to get away so fast. But yaaaaay I missed you too!💕
Baby: Duh! I'd offer to piggyback you around to everything too but um I love having my spine in one piece! So that'll be you in exchange for all the prizes and cotton candy you could ever want!
Lui: I don't know! I bet Gwen has a list but whenever she says mean things I know she really means the opposite, so even that would be meaningless. I'm just too awesome, can't stop me! I wouldn't want to get away for just anyone, but you're kinda special :-p
Lui: Hey, it's not my fault I'm even more ripped than usual, I had to do a lot of pushups when I was with my dad, it was bonding or whatever. I could probably lift you up with one hand though. Like, you could sit on my palm as if it's a chair, let's try it!
Rafe: Hopefully there's not a next time for our political leader to die suddenly and shit us back out into our hometowns, but I appreciate the sentiment.
Rafe: Look, when my lovely, beautiful, stupid, impulsive girlfriancee stole a baby and gave it a good home, that was meant to be a one-time thing. She wasn't trying to set some kind of TREND.
Lui: Okay, okay, less death, more chaotic funneling people into places they're not expecting to be! Like, Yen Sid could just get bored and snap his fingers and put us inside of tornadoes and have them pop us out in wherever they feel like, screw Oz, random locations is better.
Lui: IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU PICKED A GENIUS! I don't get why people say there's too much of a good thing, you can never save too many babies.
Baby: Hiii do I finally get you to myself or do your friends need you now that you're all together?
Baby: Not that I mind either way but yanno there's a carnival and I kind of wanna go with you since they're like our Thing.
Lui: RAFE LOVES ME, HE ALWAYS NEEDS ME! But he can survive a few hours without me, I've got to train him not to be too clingy :-p And I missed you. That too!
Lui: Are you gonna be all cute and win me things and feed me cotton candy and tell me I'm pretty?
Rafe: Of course you were invited, dumbass! Gwen probably didn't tell you because she doesn't want to set foot in Aquarion like, ever. Also I'm sorry WHAT were you guys doing???
Rafe: I refuse to acknowledge that until you tell me why you guys were STEALING BABIES???
Lui: HELL YEAH! Next time I'm squatting ALL summer, and you guys aren't allowed to get sick of me, it's the law! Not that we're following laws since I'm gonna tie Gwen up and bring her too, she'll love it, it's fine!
Rafe: Hey, motherfucker. Rude of you to show back up in town only for us to instantly be ejected from it and THEN not even hang out with us in Aquarion over the summer.
Rafe: I didn't even get to tell you that I missed you.
Lui: I WAS INVITED??? Shit, what was I doing stealing babies and giving them good homes all summer when I could have been with my favorite not-a-baby-anymore-baby instead!!!
Well, I was s’pposed t’go on a huge adventure with my first mate and two days into it I had to turn m’ship around because he’s so pussy whipped that he couldn’t be gone for a few days! Now, m’sister’s pregnant, and I’m back at this shithole. This is great. Love how this year’s turnin’ out.
Hey, I’d ditch you for Dolphin, too, ,you can’t take it personally, she’s a cool little kid. Not that I got a CHANCE to chill with her, but whatever. I found other stuff to do. Hey, speaking of, do you think your sister’s going to be a good mom or nah? Because if she’s going to be terrible, I got you covered.
As you all know by now, it’s around this time of year I start making Halloween preparations and begin an ominous string of threats directed at the most fun target. Due to personal reasons, and lack of a viable subject this year, I am officially cancelling all Annie Milne Halloween plans. I will be continue my streak of wearing black every day, but this time in mourning of a great tradition ruined. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this most trying time.
Wow, LAME. Who have your past most fun targets been? Nobody’s more fun than me, maybe it’s time to jump back on your weird black and orange bandwagon now that I’m back.
Serenity: Just in case there is a running bet going around town on how long my sister had to be back before making me wish she wasn't, today is the day. I hope one of you made some money, lol.
Lui: WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE JUST BECAUSE I WAS ON A DESERTED ISLAND WITH MY DAD SOMEWHERE THAT I DIDN'T GET A TEXT INCLUDING ME IN BETTING POOLS. You guys are the worst friends ever!
Baby: SO awesome! And so so right!!! 😍 I can't even tell you how much fun it is to start off sentences with "my husband"! (OH GOSH. SO LIT! Does Your Dad let you use his hook a lot?)
Lui: For real though. People kinda look at me like I'm Hei Hei walking around with his head cut off when I say it, but Hei Hei's rad as shit and so are we. (WELL KIND OF NEVER YET, BUT THE DAY'S TOTALLY COMING. And the first thing I'm gonna use it for is to do something awesome with you!)
He was at your wedding because he went to someone else’s, that doesn’t make me boring. It makes me not royal! Considering you’ve never not been annoying and I’m still alive, I think that means you’re not even good at it. You’re getting old, isn’t 22 like right around the corner for you? I just hit 20! I think if I got bumped up to favorite bitch for even an hour, like 4 bitches and a baby would be pissed off at me and I’m not asking for all of that.
I’m not royal either, I still managed to get in with the cool crowd. I’ve never put full and complete and total annoyance towards you directly before, though. You’ve gotten it as a side-effect, you haven’t gotten it as the main attraction. Shut up! I’ll be young forever, Gemini season trying to peg me with numbers can’t bring me down. Well, too bad, you’re getting it, it’s a tag-team effort to make you suffer.
SUMMARY → So anyway here’s what we wrote before we got bored and/or distracted...
Lui was pretty stoked about this whole Valentine's Day thing, and he hoped that Baby was, too. After he'd gotten dumped for being a cheating douchebag in high school, he'd taken ages and ages to get back into the dating game, but after getting dumped last summer when he'd been nothing but an awesome boyfriend? He had a totally different attitude towards it, and he was glad that he'd found someone as cool as Baby at the exact right time in his life. He wasn't sure if she saw tonight as like a real date, but Lui did, and he hoped that by the end of the evening he was on the same page. "How do I look?" Lui asked her with a wink, showing off his hairy, barely-covered legs underneath the ridiculous black french maid dress, as promised. "Do you think Melody Triton's going to buy that these cleaning supplies are actually cleaning supplies or not?"
Baby didn't really know what her situation with Lui really was outside of like flirting, making plans to do things in France together and their hook up on New Year's, but she really liked him a lot and was super eager to impress him in the hopes that maybe he'd think of her in a way that was a little something more...romantic than the posse of girl best friends he was also probably hooking up with. "Super hot. If you were my maid, I'd tip you so good." Baby giggled, looking Lui up and down appreciatively. "What about me?" She asked, posing in her little pink Hugh Hefner inspired smoking jacket that only just slightly covered up a lacy black bralette and tight pencil skirt, her sexy interpretation of the kind of person that would hire someone in a sexy French maid uniform. "I think so! But I don't know, she might be suspicious because...she just is. So if I see her coming your way, I'll just run up to her and think of some story to send her somewhere else. You think Ren'll be pissed if I keep sending her her way or should I pick one of their cousins?"
Lui was having a hard time remembering to look at Baby's face instead of just her body. The outfit that she had on was pretty incredible, both because of how it made her look and because of how fun it was. Lui's last girlfriend had been nice, but she'd taken herself kind of seriously sometimes. Hanging out with Baby made him laugh; she was full of surprises, her costume tonight included. "You look so hot that it makes me look like Wallace Shawn or something in comparison," he told her with a grin, looping an arm around her waist to keep his date close to him. Sure, he had friends that he should go and say hi to at some point, but he knew that he didn't want to lose track of Baby at the dance. "And because I'm me. Playing pranks at dances and stuff kind of used to be my M.O." He snorted at the idea of setting Melody on Ren, but decided he'd let his housemate have a night of fun. "Nah, what about the slutty yoga cousin? I bet we could come up with all sorts of great lies about trouble she's causing."
Baby felt her face warm up at the compliment but scrunched her nose up in thought for a moment. "Wallace Shawn? Really? No one even slightly more bangable like Danny Devito?" She snickered, hoping that he understood that she was 100% joking about finding Danny Devito being bangable. "Oh, then that too I guess! Why'd you give up on pulling pranks at dances? Was it the neutering thing you said Gwen made fun of you for?" Baby asked, lowkey wondering if her encouragement of the maid uniform and boozy fake cleaning supplies meant she had the opposite impact on him as his last girlfriend and she'd be someone's his friends would approve of. "Oh my gosh! She'd be a great one! We could say we overheard her talking about releasing her goats into the dance or planning an orgy since there's so many pretty people around!"
Lui clutched a hand to his heart, like he was wounded by Baby's words. "No way, Wallace is way more bangable than Danny! Those tufts he's got growing on the side of his head are a no go for me," Lui teased, sure Baby realized that he'd most definitely never bang either one of the men in question, either. Or any man, probably, although Lui didn't like to rule things out; he'd try just about anything once. "Huh, I dunno," Lui admitted, trying not to get too pensive about it. He liked that things were so light and fun with Baby; he felt like she kind of got the stuff underneath, even without him having to say it. "I guess I just kind of grew up a little? I still like to have a good time, but like... passing the torch to the younger tricksters and stuff, you know? Give them their chance to shine." He snickered at Baby's agreement, reaching out his hand to lead her onto the dance floor, where everyone was sure to stare at how awesome they looked. "Although you know... it would be pretty cool if there were actual goats here, we could always try a prank for old time's sakes and blame Aubrey or Audrey or whatever her name is for it..."
Baby rolled her eyes and pulled Lui's hand away from his chest, oh so sneakily not letting it go for a minute longer than necessary. "You do know what Wallace Shawn looks like, right? He's got the exact same tufts on the side of his head as Danny! Besides, they're super old and a girl needs something to hold onto and a wrinkly scalp just ain't it." She wrinkled her nose at the visual but laughed again anyway. Baby listened to Lui talk as led the way. She couldn't exactly relate since she'd never pulled a prank bigger than a shock pen in her whole life, but she could still understand what he meant. "I think people are really taking advantage of the chance you're giving them then. Last year's prom got stink bombed pretty bad and then I think I heard this year's homecoming queen had a Janet Jackson moment? I'm sure your pranks are way cooler though." Baby reached up and looped her arms around Lui's neck once they made it to the dance floor and sort of frowned at his idea, more out doubt in herself than at Lui. "That would be so so so much fun but I dunno? I've never really pulled a prank before and wouldn't our outfits just attract attention? Well, even more attention anyway."
Lui scoffed, trying not to reveal just how much he wanted to laugh at Baby's accusation. He narrowly bit back his smile, saying, "How dare you doubt me! I'm going to wear a Wallace Shaun mask on our next date just to prove I know what I'm talking about. I know everything ." Like he knew that Baby hadn't let go of his hand, and he knew that a year and a half ago, he never would have dreamed of mentioning dates in seriousness, much less alluding to future ones. And he knew that he had said that on purpose, just to gauge if she was into the idea or not. He knew that this night had barely begun, but it was already the best time Lui had had in a while, and he hoped Baby was amenable to the very not subtle hint that he wanted to do it again. "And yeah, I'd like to think I'm more epic than that. I've had bubbles coming out of flushing toilets, lots of punch that's actually spiked with good shit and not like, Krat, an invasion of toy cars that have condom baskets attached for everyone... You know, harmless but hilarious. It's always ind of been my thing." Lui shrugged as best he could while still keeping his arms around Baby; he didn't even know where to find goats right now, but even if he didn, he wasn't in a hurry to leave, even if he did get to leave with her. "Oh well, guess we'll just have to goat-ify the next dance instead, then. Think of something more lowkey for tonight."
Baby bit her lip to hold back the world's biggest grin when Lui threatened her with a weird mask on their next date. Baby absolutely could not believe her luck! They weren't even that far into this date and he already wanted to spend more time with her. "Alright, then I'll wear a Danny Devito mask on our next date and I'll prove that you know everything, but that." Even though Baby had known all about Lui's reputation and some of his pranks well before they'd ever started hanging out, hearing him recount some of his greatest hits was super super attractive and a little bit intimidating. Especially when he put the ball in her court and suggested that she think of a lowkey prank for the night. The closest Baby had ever come to pulling a prank, was switching around all of the little outfits on her family's little mouse friends once when she was twelve. And even that hadn't been much of a prank since before Cinderella had even gotten a chance to see it, Baby had been filled with guilt and cried while switching all the tiny shirts and hats right back. "Oh gosh..I don't know. Maybe we should do something with the fake cleaning supplies we brought?"
Lui snorted at the idea of Baby dressed as Danny Devito, and almost said something about how he'd never imagined Danny and Wallace hooking up before but now it was all he could think about. He didn't, though; Baby was cool, and he didn't want her to think he was only interested in sex or whatever. That was the old Lui; now, he was trying to find some balance between like, the Old Old Lui from freshman year, who had been a kind of decent guy, and the newer Luis who liked to have fun and stuff but still wanted people to know when they were actually special. Most of all, he wanted to be special back, and Lui hoped that if tonight went well maybe he'd be special back to Baby. Or maybe he already was and he just couldn't be sure yet... "Okay, that would be hilarious. We could go up and spray it in people's faces and then start pretending that we have to call the hospital because we don't know how fast they're gonna get poisoned, or we could stage a really dramatic fight between us where we spray each other with it and put on a show and pretend to hate each other, or hmm..." Lui arched his eyebrows, wiggling them thoughtfully. "Or we could go find actual cleaning supplies, peel the labels off, and start sticking them on random people who are just minding their own business dancing."
