11- Worst birthday ever.

[bestsweater]

I'm just...glad everyone's okay. And not dead. I guess if there's anything I can do for anyone, just let me know.


[Private to Raiden, painfully hackable.]

I need your help.

...Girl advice.

[Private to Misty, also painfully hackable.]

Can I ask you a question?

[Too touchy. Oh no. He already SURPRISE MADE OUT WITH HER. WHAT IF THAT IS WRONG AND BAD.]

This is hard.

[BROCK MAN IT'S AN EXCEPTION IF YOU'RE GONNA DIE SOON OR SOMETHING 8( 8(]

Relationships are never easy! They are worth it, though. Believe me! [Even though her last one lasted... only a day. Dammit Ethan.]

I'm just...worried I'm going to mess something up.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Mess something up?

[MISTY SENSES... AN IMPLICATION.] I- I knew it! It really WASN'T for no reason, was it?

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Like do something wrong and say something stupid and then have her never want to speak to me again.

[OH GOD WAIT NO BACKPEDAL BACKPEDAL] Well, um. I mean. I...Erika and I...

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

...

You? And Erika?

...

You and Erika?! Really?!

[STARE. MIND IS BLANK. THOUGHTS PROCESSING AT A CHUGGING PACE. LEAVE MESSAGE AFTER THE BEEP.]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Well. I thought we were dying so I made out with her but then we weren't dying and--

Misty I'm taking her out tonight and I have no idea what to do.

[... SCREAM. This is too cute. Too very shocking, but TOO. CUTE.]

That's... That's so sweet! Confessing to someone before that... It's just like in the movies!

[Oh yeah. Helping Brock. Oh yeah, that.] Well, just be friendly and be yourself! Maybe give her a flower and compliment her on her looks! I know Erika loves flowers anyway. She'd love that! And where are you taking her? You could take her to a cafe with a flowery decor!

[Blah blah shut up Misty]

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

It just...seemed like the right thing to do.

I was thinking a restaurant downtown? Would that be okay? Should I wear anything special?

I don't...ever take girls out.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

A restaurant in town sounds perfect, too! I think she'd like that!

Erika's always seemed really formal, so maybe you should try a tux with a bow-tie! Something medium orange like your sweater? It looks like a great color on you!

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

An orange tux?

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Of course! It's different from the usual black tux anyway!

It might not look good on most people, but it'd look great on you!

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

I'm picking her up at eight. I'm not sure if I have time to find an orange tux.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Oh. [BAW] Well then, just wear the most formal thing you have! You can just wear your bestsweater best sweater for her! She wouldn't mind, I think.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Okay. That sounds like a good idea.

Um...thanks for your help.

[haswetpokemon.livejournal.com]

Great! You're welcome! If you need more help later, I'll be ready to give it!
