[kyley_b]

i bet you looked pretty.

k i can do that. cos we're classy.

[oldbetsy]

This is where you're supposed to say something like you bet my hair looked funny or "good job looking good when you went alone, nerd" or something like that.

Then again we're classy adults apparently.

[kyley_b]

did you go alone?

fuck yeah we are.

[oldbetsy]

Yep. Well, supposedly I went with Pheebs if you ask her but she had her own date to worry about. I didn't stick around long but who would want to.

[She's twenty for crying out loud and shouldn't have lingering feelings about being alone at prom while the guy she liked was half a country away and four years out of touch. Well, six now.]

[kyley_b]

i was supposed to go with stan. it was HIS idea and then he ditched me. so. yeah, we were both dateless i guess.

on my way.

yes i have a pinterest board for her stupid house thanks lol

[oldbetsy]

His loss for not beholding the mint green leprechaun I guess.

Door's unlocked, don't walk in and kill me.

[Mi casa, su casa or something like that. She's in one of the Leshy treehouses herself and her place screams modern with a dash of cottagecore and some weirdly cutesy elements that she confines to her bedroom thank you very much.

Currently she's burning the hell out of her finger like she does every time with this oven.]

Criminy! You want to fight me or something, you useless hunk of technology!

I do too.

[kyley_b]

i hate you.

[Kyle, being another treehouse dweller, doesn't take long to bike over. He lets himself in, oddly pleased that they seem to have complimentary styles of decor.

He holds up two bottles of wine and raises his eyebrows.]

Dude. Need help?

[oldbetsy]

Nah, I just keep burning myself. It's nothing new.

[She wipes off her hands on a towel as she approaches, brow perked up. Two bottles, how fancy.]

So whatcha bring with you this time?

[kyley_b]

Well stop doing that.

[He sets the bottles down on the counter.] The cat who runs the wine cellar has convinced me to try this sauvignon blanc, and also this syrah.

[oldbetsy]

Gee whiz, Broflovski, I'm cured of my clumsiness! Thank god you really are a leprechaun!

[Look at that droll expression on her face. She plucks up the bottle of syrah, studies it a moment and then snorts in amusement.]

Guess it would help if I knew a thing about wine.

[kyley_b]

On second thought, shove your head in the oven.

[Kyle cackles.]

I don't, either! I just trust the cat! I'll pour us some.

[oldbetsy]

Sure thing there, minty.

[Enjoy the new nickname.]

Here's to hoping cats know about wine then I guess. Gotta admit it's still kind of weird to see, some real Beatrix Potter crap, y'know?

[Setting aside the bottle she brandishes a pizza cutter.]

[kyley_b]

My name is not 'Minty.'

[He won't. He never does.]

Yeah, seriously. [He leans against the counter, watching that cutter warily.] It is. Also seeing a bunch of like... sexy animal boys. Feels like some weird anime.

[oldbetsy]

[Thankfully the cutter isn't quite as dangerous as it could be and she's got not one but two pizzas cut up as she laughs out loud.]

Okay you said it, not me. When you come across a tiger with legitimate abs you've really got to question your tastes just a little, that's all I'm saying.

[Soon she brings out a pair of "legitimate" wine glasses. Don't you judge her knock off Halloween wine glasses with skulls as the stems.]

[kyley_b]

There's hot insect dudes! How are we supposed to function when you find yourself thinking, 'aw, antennae suit him.' It's like a porn adaptation of Kafka.

[There's something charming about them.]

Very metal, Pataki.

[oldbetsy]

[Hold up, let her bark out a laugh at that.]

Well there goes the whole grim and dark angle he had going for him. Are you saying you want to bang a bug, Broflovski?

[She snorts as she plops the glasses down.]

I'm very metal, thank you. I did my time in the mosh pits and the goth trenches during the war known as high school.

[kyley_b]

A bee. [Snortgiggle.] I wanna bang a bee boy. [He cracks up laughing.] Don't tell anyone, nobody knows.

...I have a very hard time picturing you as a goth. You're not mopey.

[oldbetsy]

[She offers out a slice of one of the pizzas -- a standard pepperoni -- and sighs a little.]

We're adults here. You can say you want to be pollinated.

[The quirk of her lip says she's kidding, of course. A shrug of her shoulders follows.]

Some of us want to be Morticia goth and not Hot Topic goth, thank you.

[kyley_b]

Mmm. Forbidden slice. Thanks. [He is so happy.

And then he nearly chokes.]

Wow. Yeah.

The goths in my town burned down the Hot Topic.

[oldbetsy]

Don't blame them.

[Taking her own slice, she adds:]

I kinda of fluctuated though. I wanted to be a metalhead too.

[Here she flips one of her pigtails with her free hand.]

Pigtails go way better with band shirts than goth ensembles.

[Her brow cocks upward.]

You not go through any of the trends in highschool, minty fresh?

[kyley_b]

Metalhead I can see.

Your dedication to one hairstyle is unmatched.

[He shakes his head.]

Nope. I've always been a little anti-trend.

[oldbetsy]

[Helga is not so much of a terrible person as to talk while she's chewing, at least now that she's a full grown adult more or less. She does point at him with her slice however.]

I'll have you know I wore these pigtails and this bow throughout high school too. Helga Pataki doesn't give in to any social standards, thank you very much.

[Okay so she hid it under a hat during those years, so sue her. She pauses there and huffs out a breath, reaching for her skull-stemmed glass and looking away from Kyle as she leans back against her kitchen counter.]

I do change it up now and then though. Sometimes I wear it down, sometimes I curl it. I wouldn't have done any of that crap when I was a teenager though.

[Because that would make her a girly girl and Helga was still vehemently anti-girly girl even as she grew into an honest-to-god figure.]

[kyley_b]

Your bow and my hat.

[He sips his wine. The glass doesn't detract from it at all.]

Why not?

[oldbetsy]

Stubbornness, doi. I didn't do 'girly-girl' things, I wasn't falling into that trap and yada yada. I was Helga G. Pataki, an unmoveable pillar of not giving a damn.

[kyley_b]

You know what I like about you, Helga? Well, lots of things, but one of them is that you understand exactly how it feels to be too stubborn for your own good.
