Canon is Need For Speed. Shelby's sending up the Bat-Signal.

[shelbycobra]

Fine. You're going to make me say it.

We need Tobey.

You can't go back into the past, our past, without him. He deserves to know what's going on, especially when it involves someone he hates. He needs to know, if he wouldn't outright come over here and kick you in the ass.

I would.

[alotbluer]

Do I even want to know?

[shelbycobra]

Dino's here.

[alotbluer]

Oh wonderful.

[Dripping with so much sarcasm.]

[shelbycobra]

I thought you'd want to know.

He wants to mend fences between you two. I think you should.

[And the mun wants to continue this thread, but will be slow while she fetches dinner, fyi.]

[alotbluer]

Give me a good reason I should? He ran and left him to die. He let me go down for it and hid like a coward.

[shelbycobra]

Because I don't want to be stuck between the two of you for the rest of my life.

[alotbluer]

Didn't realize there was a you and him, Shelby.

[shelbycobra]

He reached out and he's been trying to turn things around.

But it feels strange to talk about you, without you being here.

[alotbluer]

I'm not sure there is turning anything around here. I lost time out of my life, not an easy thing to forgive.

[shelbycobra]

I understand that.

At the same time, he seems like he's genuinely changed and I don't want to overlook that either. You know what it's like to need a second chance and how it can break you if you don't get one. We both do.

[alotbluer]

Oh so having to pay for what he did made him a better person? I don't know about that. Guess we will see.

[shelbycobra]

You should talk to him once. And then if you don't want to after that, okay, but at least try.

I don't want to see him give up on himself because he thinks we gave up on him, you know? If there's any chance.

[alotbluer]

I'll think about it.

[shelbycobra]

Can I at least see you? There's something I want to talk to you about.

I'll come by the shop. Just like old times.

[alotbluer]

You can always see me. I'd never say no to that.

[shelbycobra]

Make it happen and I'll come by. You know better what's going on in the shop than I do these days.

I'll bring the beer.

[alotbluer]

sounds good.
