The Naturals: We Listen and We Don't Judge Challenge
Thank you @faye12344 for giving me this idea!
Lia has pulled everyone into doing yet another internet trend! They've also filmed:
- Pass the Phone Trend
- Suspect Trend (Boys, Girls, & Adults)
Celine: *flashes a dazzling smile at Sloane* We listen and we donāt judge. Iāve pretended not to know certain things just so I can hear Sloane explain them to me again.
Sloane: *stares at her wide eyed* Waitā¦you do?
Celine: *laughs lightly* I like hearing your voice, Blondie.
Sloane: *immediately flushes pink* Romantic partners often like hearing their partnerās voice because it brings them comfort and joy, but my social interactions consist of statistics around 86% of the time.
Celine: *playfully boops Sloaneās nose* You are so cute when you are flustered.
Sloane: *immediately blushes harder*
ā Filmed after Sloane has recuperated from Celineās turn ā
Sloane: Weā¦we listen and we donāt judge. *visibly hesitates*
Cassie: Whatās the matter, Sloane?
Sloane: It is statistically impossible to avoid judgement in this scenario.
Michael: *smiles gently* Weāre not going to judge you, Sloane. Itās just for fun.
Sloane: *glances at Michael* ā¦Okay. We listen and we donāt judge. Iā¦I donāt understand most of the slang words you all use, and it makes me feel left out. I looked up all their meanings and tried to learn them all, but thereās so many and Iām having a hard time keeping up.
Celine: *softly* Blondie⦠*pulls Sloane into her arms and lightly ruffles her hair* If you have questions, you can just ask. You donāt need to feel embarrassed about that.
Thea (my OC): I admit I have difficultly keeping up with all the new slang too, Sloane. We can learn together if you want?
Sloane: *quietly nods* Thatā¦that would be nice. Thank you.
Thea: We listen and we donāt judge. I recently bribed Sloane with an energy drink.
Dean: That explains Sloane spilling statistics for 24 hours straightā¦
Lia: Theaā¦what would possess you to do that?
Thea: *cocks her head to the side with a small smile* Coffee wasnāt a good enough bribe.
Cassie: A good enough bribe for what exactly?
Thea: *smile grows more mischievous and glances at Sloane* That is between Sloane and I.
Celine: *turns towards Sloane with an eyebrow raised* Blondie?
Sloane: *bites her lip* Weā

Lia: ā¦That was not what I was expecting from you two.
Thea: *smirks* I had to do something to win my bet against you, Lia. I genuinely surprised you before the end of the week, therefore I won and now you owe me $50.
Cassie: We listen and we donāt judge. Iā¦may have helped Michael with his clothing prank on Dean.
Dean: *immediately turns towards her as his mouth falls open*
Michael: *smirks* Colorado did an excellent job as my partner in crime.
Dean: Cassieā¦why? Why would you help Townsend of all people?
Cassie: *smiles gently* Because everything you owned was black, and Iāve been trying to convince you to get a new wardrobe since forever!
Dean: *deadpans* So you helped Townsend dye all my clothes pink.
Cassie: *holding back laughter* Well, now we can go shopping and get clothes that have some color in them.
Dean: *sighs* Okay, you win. I guess we'll have go shopping because Iām certainly not wearing those pink clothes.
Dean: *bites back a smile* We listen and we donāt judge. I think Michael should check his own wardrobe this time.
Michael: *watches Dean carefully* Oh? Trust me, Redding, I wouldnāt mind if you dyed my clothes pink as revenge.
Lia: I think we should go see for ourselves, hm?
ā Camera pauses and resumes ā
Michael: *jaw drops* WHAT?
[CHUCKLES HEARD FROM THE BACKGROUND]
Thea: *barely holding back laughter* I told you that this idea would be better, Dean.
Michael: *spins back around* You two replaced my entire closet with princess dresses?
Lia: Well, Michael dearest, it was technically three of us including yours truly.
Thea: *bursts out laughing*
Dean: *grins* Revenge is sweet, isnāt it Townsend?
Michael: Where the hell are my actual clothes?
Lia: *smiles sweetly* That is for us to know, and you to find out.
Celine: You donāt like the princess dresses, dear brother of mine?
Michael: *whispers* Iām getting you all back for this. Mark my words.
Michael: *smiles like the past 10 minutes didnāt happen* We listen and we donāt judge. I bought out every container of mint chocolate chip ice cream in all the stores within a ten-mile radius to make Lia think they discontinued it and slowly drive her insane.
Michael: *wicked grin spreads across his face* I know itās your favorite flavor, sweetheart, but you need to eat less ice cream so consider this a favor.
Lia: *stares daggers at Michael* Where is it? I swear if you threw it all awayā
Michael: *taps a finger against his chin* Mm, thatās for me to know, and you to find out.
Lia: Throwing my own words back at me? Michael Alexander Thomas Townsend, Iām going to endā
Lia: *voice turns sugary sweet* We listen and we donāt judge. I have been collecting blackmail material against all of you. Especially against Michael dearest here.
Michael: Blackmail doesnāt work on me because I donāt have any regrets.
Lia: *bats her eyelashes* Mm, are you sure about that? Because thereās some pictures in here that Iām sure Judd would love to see. Maybe a photo of you setting the steak on fire when you tried to cook last week?
Michael: *smile slips a little* Liaā¦
Lia: *smile grows as she unlocks her phone* Perhaps I could just send it to Judd right now after a certain someone confessed that they bought out all the mint chocolate chip ice cream and refuse to give it to me?
Ronnie: *suddenly enters* Whatās going on in here? Why are we talking about blackmail?
ā Lia somehow covered up the previous conversation ā
ā ā¦and convinced Ronnie and Tanner to join the game ā
Ronnie: *sighs* Weāre going to have to have a serious talk with you all laterā¦
Tanner: *chuckles* Letās play the game for now, Ronnie.
Ronnie: *rolls her eyes* We listen and we donāt judge. I often admit that Tanner is right in arguments just to get him to stop talking because I know he wonāt stop otherwise.
Tanner: *raises a brow* Really? Are you sure youāre not conceding because Iām right in most of those arguments?
Ronnie: *glares at him* You know youāre wrong, but you fight to prove your fundamentally incorrect point anyways!
Tanner: *smirks* We shouldnāt be judging, Ronnie. Thatās the whole point of the game.
Ronnie: *gives him an exasperated look*
Tanner: *clears his throat* We listen and we donāt judge. Iāve proposed to you so many times because I like seeing you blush every time I do it.
Ronnie: *faintly blushes* I do notā
Lia: Are you sure you want me to call you out on that very obvious lie, Sterling?
Ronnie: Stay out of this Lia. *mutters something under her breath*
Ronnie: I said youāre going to have to stop being so childish if you want to marry me again!
[SILENCE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS]
Tanner: *stares at Ronnie and slowly grins* Soā¦you are willing to marry me again?
Ronnie: *eyes widen slightly* Iā¦Thatās not what I saidā
Michael: *smirks* Iām sure it isnāt, given the shock, indignation, and embarrassment written all over your face.
Ronnie: *flushes pink* You know what? This game is officially over.
Tanner: Aww, Ronnie, donāt be like that.
Lia: No, no, itās okay. *smirks* I think weāve gotten everything weāve needed.
