You know Rodney better than anyone, which is a shame. You also know that once the dumbass has set his empty head on something, he won’t change his mind unless you rattle it a bit!
Releasing a drawn-out sigh that hopefully accurately describes just how much you <span class="mu-i">DON’T</span> wanna do this, you enter the <span class="mu-s">FIGHTING STANCE</span> your uncle made you practice a million times and beckon your opponent to, in colloquial terms, ‘<span class="mu-i">bring it</span>’
“Thaaaat’s right…” Snickers Rodney as he cracks his neck, “Might wanna find a towel, babe,” he adds as he gives Pepper a wink, “because you <span class="mu-i">WILL</span> get we-”
Oh for crying out <span class="mu-i">LOUD</span>, you moan, Pepper, are you <span class="mu-i">SURE</span> you wanna give this freak the time of day? Seriously?
“You betcha, slick!” She chirps as she takes a seat in a fresh tree branch and gets her <span class="mu-s">CAMERA</span> ready, “Besides, I already know who the winner’s gonna be!”
Both you and Rodney look at her expectantly.

“No idea what you’re talkin’ about, chief.”
<span class="mu-i">Super.</span>
“First thing’s first, ‘<span class="mu-i">slick</span>’:” Rodney smirks as he bounces from foot to foot, “You know that <span class="mu-s">WRITE-INS</span> can only help you during a fight, right?”
Yea, yea, you mutter with a roll of your eyes, you know how a scrap works! And why’s he even trying to give you advice anyways?”
“Because I’m just that confident in my abilities!” He sneers as the two of you step into a clearing surrounded by trees! “So that means you also probably know that fights rarely tend to be <span class="mu-i">fair</span>...”
<span class="mu-i">YES</span>, you groan, now can we plea-
In the middle of your annoyed response, Rodney reaches for something in his pocket! UH OH!
