>>5793267Oh right, you continue, what’s her favorite food anyways? Your date stiffens at the question as if she was being held at gunpoint! “Erm… you… you promise not to be mad if I say something other than Ita-”
<span class="mu-i">SURE</span>, you reply through clenched teeth, y-you swear!
“... you can uncross your fingers, dude… I can see ‘em behind your back.”
Fine, you groan, just… What does she like?
“<span class="mu-s">THAI FOOD…</span>” Your date responds before clinging to your waist in case you decide to chuck her off the bike! “I like Thai food…”
Huh, you remark, quietly thanking whatever god is watching that she didn’t say ‘<span class="mu-i">French</span>’, you thought she was all about sweets…
“Well yea, <span class="mu-i">duh!</span>” Pepper retorts with a scoff, “But I can’t eat those <span class="mu-i">all</span> the time! I don’t wanna get fat… especially when I’m trying to impress this one guy I know~”
Hmm… you don’t think Rodney’s the kind of guy to care about that. <span class="mu-i">OW!</span>
“You and your dumb <span class="mu-i">JOKES!</span>” Pouts your date as she headbutts your back again! “But yea, there’s this one <span class="mu-i">really</span> good Thai place just around the corner from school–I used to go there all the time before stakeouts…”
You haven’t tried much, you shrug, what’s uh… what’s good for a first-timer?
“Ohhh, <span class="mu-i">ANYTHING!</span>” Chirps the girl! “I recommend the Pad See Ew, but that’s just me… you’re cool with pork and stuff, right?”
You’re <span class="mu-i">very</span> cool with porking, but you’re driving right now-
“HA! <span class="mu-i">MAN</span> I missed you… not so much the humor…” Purrs Pepper as she gives you another squeeze! “Well next time we’re out and about I’ll treat ya’... I’m practically the owner’s adopted daughter at this point…”
And you’ll be on your best behavior, you conclude with a spirited nod!
“... uncross your fingers or I’ll bite ‘em off, sandcrab!”
Turning onto a coastal road, you feel Pepper tense up a bit at the smell of the salty air and the distant crashing of waves… this wasn’t a bad idea… was it?
“Hey.” She mutters as she pokes you with her nose, “Same questions, bub. Go.”
Huh?
“As far as I know your hobbies are beating people up and making pizzas!” Pepper continues in a measured voice! “And I wanna know what your favorite food is! So GO!”
Oh right, you should have expected she’d turn this crap on you! Eyes on the prize, Diesel: the <span class="mu-s">DOLL</span> she’s gonna make for you! Not to mention the <span class="mu-i">other</span> prizes she might be down for tonight…
