been a rough day, so suddenly a talk is in order

[notaglitch]

Alright. Looks like soomebody needs a little Von Schweetz brand talkin' to to lift her spirits, am I right?

[No Vanellope nooo.]

Listen, I'm gonna be honest with ya. I wasn't too sure you'd be able to do it when ya first made me a journal- ..but now? You an' me? I think we really got somethin' here. I keep gettin' this...feelin' in my code that you an' I are gonna be tossin' ideas back an' forth for a long time.

That bein' said, that means we're friends, right? ...An' if you're not feelin' your best, then who am I to just sit in the back of yer head here and twiddle my thumbs like the rest of these yahoos? You've already been gettin' enough lip from that dragon-boy.

...Now come on. Come ooon. Give us a smile!

I'm startin' ta'think yer Mun and mine got some kinda freaky psycho brain link, tootsie-pop. She's been actin' all down and sour ta'day too.
I'd tell her to just take it frickin' easy already but knowin' her she might start... I dunno, cuddlin' me or somethin'. And I don't want things gettin' weird.

[notaglitch]

[She snickers at that, raising a brow.]

Haven't things already been weird?

...Geeze, I dunno- you might be right, for once. ...maybe it's the weather?

[SHRUG.]

Either way, our muns need to lightin' up. I mean sure today might be bad- but ain't tomorrow the start of a new week? A fresh start..?

[No, it's Monday. Nobody likes Monday.]

[roadblasted]

... Shut yer yap.

[He still doesn't like when his Mun gets all weepy and starts snuggling him like a baby. It's embarassing, dangit.]

Well it sure don't help it's freakin' freezin' and she hates the cold s'much as I do. I wouldn't wanna get outta bed either.

[He shrugs also, with a bit of a pout.]

Not sayin' I don't agree with ya, but somehow I doubt prancin' around like a lil' ball'a sunshine s'gonna do the trick, kiddo.

[notaglitch]

Well I dunno 'bout you, but I'm not just gonna stand around and do nothin' while the one person who gives me a voice is moanin' like a beached whale.

It really makes existin' hard up here, yaknow?

[roadblasted]

[He slumps his shoulders, putting his hands in his jumpsuit pockets.]

Guess ya gotta point there. Any bright ideas then, bubblegum?

[notaglitch]

Just try doin' what I do! Put a smile on yer face for once! I can see why YOUR mun is as emotional as she is right now, you're not exactly bein' a good role model.

Come on, I bet she'll like it!

[Vanellope, you of all people should realize "Turbo" and "role model" are two words that don't even belong in the same sentence.
... But he kind of likes that suggestion.]

Heh, well I do have one super-mega charmin' loved-by-gamers-'round-the-world TURBO-TASTIC smile...
S'not a bad idea, cupcake. Alright, I'll give it a shot!

2/2

[roadblasted]

[He turns in the direction of his mun... and grins his biggest, widest, "giant smiley face" Turbo grin with a victorious thumbs-up. Just like what he would do for the winners of Turbo Time... if not even more enthusiastically.]

TURBO-TASTIC!!

[notaglitch]

[..Ok, to Vanellope, that's slightly creepy, somehow. But hey! He listened to her!]

Y'see? Y'see? Now if ya kept a grin like THAT on yer face all the time, I'm sure your mun would be in a better mood!

[And if that didn't work, she at least wouldn't be thinking about whatever it was that made her upset....riiiight?]

[roadblasted]

[He holds the grin for another few moments... before dropping it. Holding it was getting kind of straining.]

Yeesh... keepin' it up s'a lil' hard, my bodaciously handsome face was gettin' sore. But...
Looks like I made 'er laugh! Hahaha, I KNEW it'd work! The TURBO-TASTIC Smile is as contagious as it is outrageously radical~

[notaglitch]

Well, looks like both our muns are a little happier now then. Y'see what we can do when we put our minds to it? It makes them happy- and it'll make us happy when they play us, in the long run.
