hc: Ethan pranks Lex by telling Toy Zone customers the most ridiculous phrases he comes up with would get them free stuff at the counter. Shit's actually not free, he just wants to make Lex laugh
Oh this is definitely something he does.
- It all started when Lex first got the job
- She would always complain about how boring it was, or whine about how annoying the kids were.
- She hated it, but it was a good-paying job, and... she and Hannah needed that.
- And Ethan hated seeing her so unhappy.
- Because she’s his girl and his girl deserves the best.
- So one day, he’s waiting to surprise her after work.
- And he can see her scowling and grumbling through the window.
- And then he sees this kid- maybe eight- heading into the store with a ten dollar bill.
- The kid is wearing a Power Ranger’s shirt
- So Ethan just jokingly tells him to say “Power Rangers Go!” to the brunette and she’ll give him a free Power Rangers toy.
- And he watches Lex’s face and the confusion as the kid does it.
- He thinks he’s gotten away with this genius prank
- Until the kid points right at him.
- And at that, Lex smirks, and starts to laugh.
- She thanks him for it when she’s off her shift.
- And so he keeps doing it
- Whenever he’s around the store.
- And the phrases just keep getting more and more ridiculous
- Lots of phrases from things that were popular when they were kids.
- Like “Zoo-wee-mama!” from Diary of a Wimpy Kid
- Or “yo mama” jokes.
- And they’re both just pissing themselves.
- When Frank finds out he nearly fires her.
- But hey, she’s been much better with customers since it started.
- The kids are starting to like her.
- So why not let it keep going?
- It almost makes Lex like her job. Almost.
This one is really sweet, I am a big fan.
