I don’t speed, but I will run stop signs at night—remind me not to.

Right, almost forgot.  You get it; I’ll start the car.  Shouldn’t be driving at this hour, but I’m not bad, so.

Gotcha. Just try not to speed or anything. I'm not dealing with you getting a ticket.

C’mon, let’s go.

I have to grab the toaster strudel first! That's the whole point of this, remember?

Not one for 80s teen romcoms, huh?  Me neither.  Why don’t you just stay the night?  Now that we’re not fostering, we’ve sold all this extra shit and I got one of those beds under my bed.  It’s like the side thing in a motorcycle.  Test-drive it, yeah?  Sidekicks.

Man, you should have gotten bunk-beds instead. I always wanted one of those. But, yeah, alright. I'll stay the night as long as you can promise I won't get kicked out when your parents get home. And no funny business.

They barely come into my room anymore.  C’mon, Nell.  I need to return the favor.  I don’t wanna intrude.  Lemme have this.

Okay, okay. Fine. But I'm not crawling out any windows this time, I swear.

Yeah?  Good.  Kids are definitely not my thing.  … Actually, my parents are out for a little bit, why don’t we stay at mine instead?  Less distractions and my house is bigger, y’know?

I'm not so sure. You know what your parents think of me...

Which movie?  Dunno.  Pineapple Express, the sequel and we’ll call it quits…?  Those are my fave, I think.  Coach got me doing suicides in the morning and I can’t be too beat.

Yeah, that sounds fine to me. The fosters are out tonight, and they took all the younger ones with them, so it shouldn't be too chaotic.

Though, I must say, I am leaning towards Gone Girl if that’s okay with you. 

No, I’m all health, Nell… ‘cause sports, yeah, but this can’t hurt, I ‘spose…  you pop in a movie and I’ll bring some cop porn?

Ever try Cinnabon toaster strudels? The fosters splurged this week and bought three boxes. We're practically drowning in them.
