Canon is Need For Speed. Having a meltdown in 3...

[shelbycobra]

Don't tell me that Damien and Michael aren't here because they're on fire! I'm worried sick about them already, don't make it worse.

And don't think about sending me after them. That's how you said I went too far off canon before, getting myself involved.

I just want them to be okay. I've lost enough people already.

Worried about lil ole me?

[shelbycobra]

Damien. Oh my god. Are you okay?

[togohome]

I'm fine. [Whether fully true or not.]

[shelbycobra]

Are you sure? I saw that truck. It was pretty on fire.

[togohome]

Just a few singed hairs.

[shelbycobra]

That's good. I mean, I don't want to cause trouble. Just...

[She's clearly been freaked out for a while. Like really.]

I love you, I don't want to lose you too.

[togohome]

You aren't causing no sort of trouble, Shells.

[shelbycobra]

You know that is the first pet name I have ever had. [Chuckles.] I wouldn't know what to do without either of you.

[togohome]

You are stuck with it. I tend to do that like Michael is Mikey or Buddy.

[shelbycobra]

[Chuckles.] I'm sure he appreciates it. I just got worried, you know we haven't talked and then I see that. I'm not good with seeing the stuff you get yourselves into.

[togohome]

Only two more episodes at least.

[shelbycobra]

I know. But between you, and Michael, and my first boyfriend. People tried to blow up his house with me in it. And I...

I killed someone.

[togohome]

Sounds like you had to do what you had to. Hell, I'm so not the person to judge on that front.

[shelbycobra]

Still. I don't ever want - that's not me. And I don't want it to ever be me, and I just want you safe.

I guess this is where you tell me I shouldn't have fallen in love with a soldier. Or three of them really.

[togohome]

Hell I'd go back and rewrite that if it were me. Save you from that.


Nah, won't tell you that.

[shelbycobra]

That's what my mun did, since that story faded out anyway. Doesn't mean I forgot what it felt like though. It sucked.

I'm not a hero and I never will be. I'm not you.

[togohome]

Even if comes back if it bothers you talk and rewrite it. It'll make you feel better.

I'm just doing my job.

[shelbycobra]

I don't know if that wouldn't make me feel guilty. Someone trying to kill someone I love and me not doing anything? Hell, sometimes I feel like I owe both you and Michael an apology not being able to help you.

Although he's so cute when he gives me that look.

[togohome]

I prefer you in one piece rather than trying to play hero. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. Never feel guilty about that, SHells.

[shelbycobra]

I'll try. It's just...did I ever tell you about my family?

[togohome]

A bit, mostly about your dad.

[shelbycobra]

And how my mom left when I was really young?

I think that rubbed off on me. I take the concept of family really serious and I want to protect it at all costs. Whether it's my actual family or my racing family or you and Michael.
