Jimmy: Well that's just rude. I know I could do that if I put all my efforts into it but I'd never want to make girls cry like that on purpose. Why, because you can't give me the win I deserve without raising incest alarms?

Rosemary: In the movies, the girl and the pretty popular boy always end up falling in love, but I'm glad you have more sense than to ever put yourself in that position; if you didn't also have a heart of gold, you could very much be a heartbreaker and that's a lot of power to wield lol. And no, because I'm biased towards you! How could I pick anyone to compete against my favorite cousin and give them the shot that they deserve?

Lexi: He hid a few of his disgusting drinks in my bag last time I went home and I got such a massive lecture from his mama that boy is lucky I'm still friends with him.

Rosemary: A lecture about kombucha? Why?

Tori: I just tried to Google it because I was curious, but nope, there was no mention of tickets. You only have to file an accident report about it if there's damage to your car and you want to get insurance money. LOL did you need a new phone after that?

Rosemary: Really? That's so strange! You think there'd be punitive measures for killing an animal but instead they possibly pay you? Nothing makes sense anymore lol. And yes, yes I did, so at least I got a new phone out of it? I blame advertising though. They had a commercial where a rapper dumped bottles of champagne on the phone and it survived just fine!

“Make up is like war paint,” Eleanor said. “That’s why I like when mine is perfect. I do it for myself, not for any boys or whatever. So I don’t understand why people judge it so much.”

[rosemarydubois]

“People judge you for that?” Rosemary asked, her cherry-painted lips parted in surprise. “It sounds to me that you’ve been hanging around the wrong people then, sugar!” She looked at herself in the mirror and combed her eyebrow into place. “And besides, even if it were for the boys, why would that be a bad thing? There’s no shame in wanting other people to realize you’re as pretty as you are.”

Jimmy: I do have a beautiful lullaby-singing mouth and skin as smooth as that baby's behind, so I guess I see where you're coming from. And what's that supposed to mean? That I'm not free to date any lovely lady that catches my eye? Because I am, you know. And I demand to know who I have to go head to head with to prove that I'm better than them!

Rosemary: Exactly! It would be downright selfish if we deprived the baby of your dulcet tones, and we are not selfish people at heart. Oh goodness, cousin. You know you're one degree of self-assured away from making a bet that you could make any girl at ASU fall in love with you :-P I can't exactly pick someone for you to go head to head with though, can I? I'm your cousin, it isn't a fair fight.

Lexi: He can come to the store with us and help carry the candy back too. I know he thinks he's too precious to carry shopping but he owes me a huge favor.

Rosemary: He does? What happened lol?

Tori: Except different, because slowing down for the manatees is actually enforced. It's more like a stop sign or a yield sign where you can get a ticket for doing it wrong; the deer signs are just like BE ALERT, THESE ASSHOLES MIGHT JUMP INTO THE ROAD WHEN YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING IT! LOL could you even touch-screen underwater? Mine messes up with like a single drop on the screen anyway.

Rosemary: I'm sure you can get a ticket for accidentally hitting a dear, can't you? If you get caught, anyway. As someone who tried to use her phone in a pool, I can tell you that no, touch screen does NOT work underwater lol. My poor phone :( But I had to try it, I had to know!

Lexi: It's not even a case of not needing to steal, you're far too honest for that rubbish! Or we just don't tell Jimmy anything about the candy, and he can have the leftovers when we're finished?

Rosemary: I know that and you know that but apparently not everybody does, it's so sad! I'd rather tell him about the candy, honestly, because then he'd be an extra pair of hands helping!

Lexi: I did not know that! I don't know much about shoplifters! Hmm maybe we could recruit Maddie and Dolly to help? Jimmy wouldn't be much help because he's an idiot and would just eat the candy.

Rosemary: I only know because someone thought I was stealing once - can you imagine that? The daughter of Prince Ralphie needing to steal? We could tell Jimmy eating too much would ruin his perfect skin but the lot of us being candy deliverers ought to work!

Tori: Well, it doesn't happen nearly so much anymore thanks to those no wake zones! They put big orange signs with manatees faces on them reminding you to slow down, it's super effective. Are they fully water proof? I thought they were just water resistant - you know, like fake waterproof. But I don't look that hard into it so I could have missed some huge breakthrough. I mean, they let us do it SOMETIMES but it has to be carefully monitored by Fairy Godmother, we're not supposed to be doing it on our own.

Rosemary: That's so good to hear, like deer crossing signs on the road! I'm glad it helps out the poor manatees, no one deserves such a nasty end. The phones advertise as water"proof", or at least one does, but it is definitely more of a water resistant kind of deal. Not that I bought it and tried to use it in a pool or anything. Hmm, that's unfortunate; booking time with FG takes a while, sometimes.

Lexi: I'm sure it'll be fine. They'll see us with a full cart and realise we're not stupid enough to try and leave without paying. Hmm... Maybe on the tables in common areas. Or we could get to classes early and leave them on the desks.

Rosemary: A full cart and a suspicious duffel bag - did you know most thieves buy something in plain sight and then steal behind the stores back because it makes them seem less like suspects? I would love to get to classes early and leave them on the desks. We'd need help though. That's a lot of desks, sugar.

Jimmy: I mean, I just think you're the better babysitter out of the pair of us, I'm doing the world a favor by playing to our strengths this way! In my heart I've already cemented that status already, I'm really going to need to invoke our blood relation status to force you to tell me who else is in the running!

Rosemary: It takes a village to raise a child; likewise, it takes two cousins to make baby the happiest. Don't be shirking on the baby's happiness now! I want a satisfied child at the end of our babysitting service. And I can't tell you who else is in the running unless you admit that your status as eligible bachelor? Ain't cemented. Sorry sugar, you have to be honest with me if I'm honest with you.

Tori: You don't really hear a lot of stories about sharks getting split open by speed boats, there's a reason there are manatee zones but not shark ones. I'm kind of shook there aren't fully usable underwater phones by now tbh but there are underwater cameras. Still, though, I like to have the best of both worlds! And FG isn't big on, you know, using magic to transform just to go on splashy shark searches. Stupid laws.

Rosemary: I don't hear a lot of stories about manatees getting split open by speed boats either, for which I say a quick thanks to the Lord because my stomach can't handle that sort of vivid imagery. There are some phones that are supposedly waterproof but it's just not the same. And you know, I always forget turning into a mermaid is against the law. It shouldn't be, at least not for people like you who have Atlantian citizenship on behalf of your mother and the blood of the mermaids in your veins. How is it illegal to turn into another facet of yourself whenever you'd like? That's something I'll never understand.

Lexi: If we used gym bags we could carry more stuff in each trip. I also want to get some nice heart shaped stickers to put on the mirrors in the bathroom. Everyone wants to know they're loved. Do you think a bowl of individually wrapped candies next to the sinks would get the point across?

Rosemary: As long as nobody thinks we're stealing, I'm okay with using gym bags! I would do a lot of things for Valentine's day but being falsely accused and humilaired is not one of them, sugar. And aww, that's so sweet! I think a bowl of individually wrapped candies next to the sinks would get wet lol. And nobody has much of an appetite in the bathroom. Maybe there's somehow else we can distribute them?

Lexi: I'm free anytime, evenings and weekends. We also need to get conversation hearts and those cute little love heart chocolates to hand out.

Rosemary: Let's do it tomorrow evening then! Or start tomorrow evening, because I have a feeling it's going to take a few trips to get everything we need. And oh, the conversation hearts are my favorites! I love using them to answer my questions about love lol like fortune cookies.
