“ Full disclosure, I did unintentionally make someone…” she trailed off for just a moment trying to find the right word. “Let’s just go with… a little upset… because they tripped and I took advantage of them being vulnerable and eliminated them from laser tag. ” She explained knowing there was a chance someone could misconstrue that as she had tripped that person, but they didn’t have proof that that is what had happened. It was a dark room, anyone can trip in any way, didn’t make it her fault.  “ In my defense though, if you can’t handle a competition or… ya know… a winner… friendship or dating wise we would have problems in the future so at least ya know upfront, am I right? ”

Laurel wiped the beads of sweat dripping down her forehead before re-tightening her ponytail. She chugged whatever was left in her refillable water bottle before dropping down beside Eevee. Laurel had always been competitive. Perhaps it was due to always needing to catch up with her older sister, but she also enjoyed the thrill of winning or losing. “You’re speaking my language, hot stuff,” Laurel said, nodding in agreement. “I actually saw you trip that person--needless to say they looked like they were gonna cry home to their parents. I knew I made the right decision in choosing you as my celebrity crush.” She toggled with the green button she had pinned to her t-shirt. \

“So the game goes like this: as I try to toss this piece of popcorn in your mouth, you gotta move your head around to catch it. The trick is to use your tongue.” Laurel wiggled into her spot on the couch, clad in her Snoopy pajama shorts, right beside Rory. It had only been a couple months since she moved in with her and Mason, but Rory didn’t shy away from asking Laurel to run to the grocery store for a candy bar or to refill her Arizonas--she definitely made herself at home. After all, it’s what Laurel offered her anyway. “You should be really good at this since you really know how to move that mouth,” she teased.

Rory: I WAS MAKING HIM A GAY FAN

Laurel: Needs more context.

“I don’t even know how you managed to mutter out that statement without doing a ghostface impression,” Liv chuckled. LJ and Liv had become fast friends with her several trips to the record store, they were learning about music together. Liv was always welcome to a new tune, as long as it didn’t involve heavy metal and some dude screaming. If she wanted to hear screaming, it was going to be on a tv or movie screen because someone got stabbed. “Don’t ask? Hmp- something tells me your trying to locate people’s fears and what they are resilient to,” she smirked. “But like you don’t already know- I’m a Halloween a girl, Michael Myers roaming around wanting to gut people just because- but I’m also a Scream girl. Including the fourth one that people seem to hate for some reason, the third one can die though.”

Liv and Laurel bonded through their developing love of music and movies--but she would love to delve deeper into that friendship as those she thought she had connected with from her young adult age weren’t around during the most trying time in her life. She smiled at Liv’s answers--of course, she gave an indepth answer. “Follow-up question: who do you think would win in a boxing match? Michael Myers or Ghost-face: Stu-Macher?”

You joke but Bryant could use a big sister. Just saying. Yeah he loves the vegetable medley juice boxes so thats a plus but he doesn’t like peas now… 

You could always... just lie. A little white lie couldn’t hurt anybody.

That’s a sweet story. I don’t have any, but when I do decide to adopt a pet, I’m thinking of getting both a cat and a dog. Growing up we had two dogs and a cat, and I’m just a lover of both. I bet the cat lives up to the name. They are as smart as hell.

I think the Halloween thing is basically my sisters forcing me to watch horror movies with them. I usually like to watch action movies and comedies. So I keep horror to Halloween if I can. So what movie would you watch tonight, that you think will have the desired effect?

Ooh! I would love to go with you to the shelter so we can find you a couple of rescues. That’s the best way to adopt. Or we can just roam the streets until the animal comes to you. You know what they say: the pet always finds you.

Maybe you can come over and help me pick one out?
