❛ what do you want? you can tell me. ❜ from mirabelle

"No, no. You'll laugh! You'll make fun of me. Everyone always does."

[mirabellevt]

"Mr. Beet." Mirabelle spoke firmly, frowning. "C'mon, look at me. Ya know I'd never laugh."

[mr-beet]

"Oh yeah? What if I told you I secretly wanted to be a clown? You're sayin' you'd never even laugh at me! My clown career is over before it even started!"

[mirabellevt]

Despite her previous promise, Mirabelle had to laugh. "Mr. Beet! You're bein' impossible!" She used her invisible hands to shake his invisible shoulders. "C'moooon. Tell me."

[katrina-and-sabrina]

❛ see? you have a talent for this. ❜ from ur sissy

"For what?" Katrina raised an eyebrow "Singing backup? Playing second fiddle to you?"

Sabrina nudges the tallest of the three "Oh hush, I think she means getting her to use her relationship with Mr. Beet to our advantage."

[mirabellevt]

"I didn't mean either of those things!" Mirabelle exasperated. "I meant at being friends! Bein' helpful!"

[katrina-and-sabrina]

"OH!" Sabrina smiles "Awwww, thank ya Mirie..."

"Yeah, that's nice, or whatever," Katrina murmurs.

Sabrina looks at the babiest sister "And you're so good at so many things! Like singin...and using your relationship with our boss to our advantage..."

[mirabellevt]

"I wish you'd stop sayin' that!" Mirabelle huffed again. "I'm not doin' that."

[mr-beet]

❛ what do you want? you can tell me. ❜ from mirabelle

"No, no. You'll laugh! You'll make fun of me. Everyone always does."

[mirabellevt]

"Mr. Beet." Mirabelle spoke firmly, frowning. "C'mon, look at me. Ya know I'd never laugh."

❛ i never realized how much i needed you until you weren’t there. ❜ (from Katrina and/or Sabrina)

"I'm always gonna be here. What can I help with now? What do you need?"

[katrina-and-sabrina]

"You sure?" Sabrina asked, lower lip trembling "You aren't gonna leave us for a solo gig?"

[mirabellevt]

"'Course not! I need my best girls with me!" Mirabelle paused. "C'mon, there's gotta be somethin' I can do to cheer you up."

[katrina-and-sabrina]

"EVERYONE SHUT UP IT’S PIZZA ANGEL" from Francois

"Please don't judge me... but what exactly is a pizza Angel?"

[coisblue]

"Le gasp!" Francois le gasped. "You have never tried the scrumptious delicacy? That is the most important American import?"

[mirabellevt]

"Hey, I told you not to judge!" Mirabelle couldn't help but giggle. "What is it? A pizza shaped like an angel? An angel shaped like a pizza?"

[coisblue]

"It is pizza shaped like a pizza. But the box!" He gasps "There is a drawing of an angel on it! And it tastes like it arrived straight from Heaven itself! You are an adult, oui? Avec un credit card? Perhaps we could order one now to share!!"

[mirabellevt]

Mirabelle immediately lights up. "Oh! Yeah! Absolutely, little buddy! What do you like on your pizza?"

[mr-beet]

'well, it was exhausting being fancy anyway.' from mirabelle

Finnegan smiled softly at Mirabelle. "You make it seem effortless. You could make overalls look like a ballgown in the right light."

[mirabellevt]

Mirabelle took pause. "Ya really think so, Mr. Beet?" She, admittedly, fluttered her eyelashes at him.

[mr-beet]

His purple coloration hid his blush, but he looked away quickly in his flustered state. “Yeah. I… I really think so.” He coughed and quickly said, “Anyway, what’re you so worried about being fancy for, anyway?”

[mirabellevt]

"Well, that's awful sweet of you." Mirabelle smiled softly, before lighting up. "Oh! Ya know, the whole... trying to be a singer thing. That situation? I just, dunno, figured it'd be good if I fancied up my image a bit."

[mr-beet]

“Your image is fine. You see pop stars these days? They can get away with wearing anything and it’s just their ‘brand’. I mean, hell, that Taylor Grape doesn’t even have a stylist from what I hear.”

[mirabellevt]

This caused Mirabelle to gasp. "Taylor Grape doesn't have a stylist?! Someone should tell Peter Pepperazzi or Gossip Gourd or something, right? That's huge celebrity gossip!" She spoke enthusiastically, even though the 'gossip' was quite mundane.

"we've known each other since we were children." from your sissys katrina and sabrina

“Yeah, that’s how siblings work… right?”

[katrina-and-sabrina]

"You would think. and yet sometimes..." Sabrina trails off, as Katrina steps in "but we know you better than anyone, wouldn't you say?"

[mirabellevt]

“Uhh, sure.” Mirabelle paused. “Why do you ask?”

[mirabellevt]

"we've known each other since we were children." from your sissys katrina and sabrina

“Yeah, that’s how siblings work… right?”

[mirabellevt]

"And if you never bleed, you’re never gonna grow." (from dad asparagus)

"Who says I haven't bled, Mr. Dad?"

[theoneandonlydadasparagus]

"Oh we all have. Metaphorically. I think it's juice technically."

[mirabellevt]

"Like the Lizzo song!"

[mr-beet]

But I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm (from Mirabelle)

Mr. Beet looked at Mirabelle with an expression torn between mild annoyance and affection. “Wouldn’t fire cause my brittle heart to like, shatter or melt from the heat?” He asked somewhat sarcastically, because he couldn’t help it. Also, Ryan hasn’t seen the Beauty and the Beet special in well over a year and does not remember anything about him except Grumpy, and I guess he’s Mr. Beast’s brother?

Then, he was wise enough to ask, “Am I supposed to play along? Is this one of those exercises in ‘showing affection’?”

[mirabellevt]

She sighs. "I was just tryin' to tell ya I care for ya, whether you wanna hear it or not." She looks almost longingly at Mr. Beet. "I don't necessarily need ya to show affection but could you...I don't know, not be such a pompous dick about accepting mine?"
