Tyler

Again, it wasn’t me. I’m just giving you the warning!

Too bad I don’t believe you.

Wait, you have chocolate? Why didn’t you say so!!?! We’re total pals now! Me too - I might even break out the sticker collection for you too, I’m that excited!

Yeah my mom sent me the coolest easter basket ever, you jealous? Whoa you weren’t gonna share with me and now I have to share my candy with you? I need to think this over--stickers? What kinda stickers?

I might. I’ve been known to share from time to time but it’s sort of a big deal, you know?! I do however have the perfect shade of dark green puffy paint for you! Your sign will be glorious! 

Well how about we make a deal, I share my chocolate with you if you share your chocolate with me. I think that’s a pretty good deal if you ask me. Perfect, I’m so stoked for arts and crafts. 

Totally. Usually there’s a crazy initiation process, but you can skip it. I’ll make you a badge letting people know you’re one of us. There will be glitter.

Really like what? Streaking through the condos. Glitter huh? Alright fine I can rep it. 

My thoughts exactly - unless we’re talking chocolate. Light green or dark green?

Wait, you wouldn’t share chocolate with me? That’s fucked up. Dark green, it’s my favorite color.

Damn right, I got your back - so long as you promise to let me borrow them once in awhile!?

Of course--sharing is caring, you’ve got green glitter paint don’t you?

I have some glitter puffy paint if you need to make your own! Though that might not look too official…

I mean--it’s better than nothing right? You gonna help me with the signs?

It’s nice to meet you too, Tyler. Enjoying it here?

What’s not to love? They literally thought of everything--how long have you been here?

Are we talking the next couple days? Cause i’m already prepared….unless you need more time, since you’re  turning this on me cause you can’t face your own mentally preparing state. I’m so right — It’s too hard to after you get around to everything.

I’m thinking I’ll give you a week, that way you can practice more--I’d feel bad if I completely crush you, this way you’ll get a little better. It’s on, it’s so on.

Success! I won’t let anyone down! Haha, yeah you don’t have anything to worry about. Oh! I don’t believe I caught your name. I’m Alexis but you can call me Lexi.

My name’s Tyler and it’s very nice to meet you Lexi.

That’s what out of order signs are for, they’re like the do not disturb of the ball pit world. 

Oh I need to get some of those made then.

Nope, you gotta work for that.

I’m willing to work day and night for it.

Score! Are we best friends now?

We’re officially best friends for life now, there’s no getting rid of me.

Wow – I’m proud of you too. Since everyone around here is basically obsessed with food and the amenities, I’m going to say you’re officially on the level you need to be, in order to be a Hideaway resident!

Really? Am I officially one of you guys now? What can I say I’ve always wanted to fit in and I’m glad it only took me a couple days. 

I am so disappointed in you right now! You let me down!

Aw fuck, I feel terrible--I hate letting people down let me make it up to you.

Nope but I could be! Yes really haha! I get that alot. I could but–I save my ass-kicking for the ring and training.

I think you should be, I now appoint you lifeguard of the ball pit. Oh good then I feel a bit safer now.
