Canon is Need For Speed. Shelby doesn't like the mun's new pastime.

Can we talk about you deciding it's fun to embarrass me? I know I'm blonde but I'm not stupid. And if you playing me for laughs all the time makes me lose Connor I will murder you with your own keyboard.

Plus, I'm pretty sure Tommy thinks I'm a complete idiot now so thanks for spoiling a friendship I really could've used at the moment.

All I want is one night where I can go dancing and to dinner and to be a normal girl. Is it that hard for you to do without puns or me mistexting somebody?

And you wonder why I'm thirty going on fifty.

Wait, why would you lose me?

[shelbycobra]

Because my mun is gleefully enjoying me looking completely uncool near you?

I don't want you to think I'm a klutz.

[bebetterthan]

Haven't been a klutz yet. Or uncool.

[shelbycobra]

You mean that? Because I feel like she's trying too hard.

This is what I was trying to tell you before. I don't have much of a life outside my job, so I always get nervous that I'm gonna do the wrong thing. That goes for the mun too, she never really gets to write me just being normal so she worries a lot.

But I really like you, Connor, no matter how many puns I make.

[bebetterthan]

I do, and hey it can be hard stepping outside what you may be used to. She's doing a good job.

[shelbycobra]

Thanks. That's the biggest thing she's working on, trying to give me a personal life. And I really appreciate that you're part of it.

She says she hopes your mun doesn't mind that she borrowed you. A friend of mine was asking me about what I was up to so apparently I managed to make you dinner. Finally.

[bebetterthan]

I bet it was amazing. My mun does not mind at all.

[shelbycobra]

Mine still wanted to ask first, just because. But you know there's only two real responses to 'what's the whipped cream for' that make any sense.


Listen, do you...could I possibly get you to come out with me? I really want to go dancing but I didn't ask you because I thought you might get bored.

[bebetterthan]

Okay my mind so wants to take that dirty.


Sure, we can go dancing. [Smiles.]

[shelbycobra]

I guess you could. I would never turn down that with you, and it is that day of the week for smut I think.


But I'd really like that. Just a normal date, like normal people and I want to learn to dance. Or at least learn something not work related.

[bebetterthan]

Then let's get some dance lessons together?

[shelbycobra]

I would love to. [That's a big, relieved smile on her face as she takes his hand and squeezes it affectionately.] If your mun wants to set something up, whenever is good.

I just adore you and I appreciate you listening to mine and my mun's being weird.

[bebetterthan]

Let's get our dance on.

[shelbycobra]

You're a prince, Dr. Rhodes. I'm lucky to love you.

[brynnhilda]

Don't keep your hopes up.
