Mouse (to Eep & Vincent): Are you boys excited & ready for tonight?
Eep (to Mouse): Um a bit nervous, honestly.
Vincent (to Mouse): Oh stars & garters, I'm ready 2 burst! How abt U? Nervous?
Mouse (to Vincent): I'm actually feeling pretty good. I probably should be nervous, but I'm excited more than anything. (to Eep) Oh really, why? Is it the Maddie thing?
Eep (to Mouse): A little bit, yeah. And New York, at New Year's... It's gonna be a lot of people, and crowds make me anxious.
Vincent (to Mouse): U shld B excited. Ur going 2 B AMAZING.
Mouse (to Vincent): Awww, thanks. (to Eep) Well, according to the itinerary that Poppy gave me, you & Vincent have VIP seating right next to the booth, which means you won't even have to deal with the crowd if you don't want to.
Eep (to Mouse): Thank God! Wow. That was... weirdly considerate of Poppy. She's been strange lately, hasn't she?
Vincent (to Mouse): I'll try not 2 upstage U 2 much w/ my beauty. ;-} I'm joshing by the way. Did U end up getting that GORGEOUS low backed number?
Mouse (to Vincent): Yes, I did... I couldn't resist it. (to Eep) A little, but Vincent said that since they're seeing each other, Poppy promised that she was going to try & be nicer to us.
Eep (to Mouse): Huh. I guess that's it. She seemed genuinely worried about you last night. It was weird.
Vincent (to Mouse): PERFECT! I have a tie 4 Eep that shld match ur dress closely enough. We R going 2 show those New Yorkers how class is DONE.
Mouse (to Vincent): Darn skippy. (to Eep) Well, I guess it's sweet in a weird sort of ways.
Eep (to Mouse): In really, REALLY weird ways. (to Vincent) Hey, um, are we OK? I'm sorry I was kinda a dick last night. It was out of line.
Mouse (to Eep): I guess we should be thankful that she's making an effort. I was ready to throttle her.
Vincent (to Eep): We're fine, sexy. Honest. I'm not surprised U acted like a dick when I wanted U 2 talk abt urself. Par 4 the course, darling & U were out of line, but... Well, U weren't entirely wrong.
Eep (to Vincent): Wait. What?
Vincent (to Eep): Never mind! Never mind! There's FAR 2 much 2 do B4 the trip. We'll talk abt it later. Provided U talk 2 me abt Y U were in such a snit the other nite, of course.
Eep (to Vincent): You blackmailing little...
Vincent (to Eep): Love U 2! See U soon.
Eep (to Mouse): I don't know if I should mention this, because you might want to throttle her more. She said was worried, because you were a delicate flower.
Mouse (to Eep): A delicate flower, really? Geez, she's been talking to Vincent too much.
Eep (to Mouse): Yeeeeeeeah. That's kinda what I thought.
Mouse (to Eep): I think I'm gonna stop thinking about this... I've got more interesting things to think about. Are you ready to head to the airport?
Eep (to Mouse): Yep. All packed & ready to go. Yep. Not nervous at all. Nope.
Mouse (to Eep): Well, we could trade places & you could deejay in front of a couple hundred people. I'm sure that would help your nerves. :-p
Eep (to Mouse): Sure. I'll bet that would do wonders for my nerves and your reputation. Don't worry. I'm bringing a case of cigarettes, just in case.
Mouse (to Eep): Oh well, and here I thought it would save me from working again on New Year's Eve. :-)
Poppy (to Vincent, Mouse & Eep): Everything is all set for you. Looking forward to seeing you all.
Vincent (to Poppy): Can't wait 2 see U, darling.
Eep (to Poppy): Yeah. Uh, you too.
Poppy (to Vincent): Oh honey, me too... have a safe flight.
Mouse (to Vincent & Eep): I'm on my way to pick you two up...
Vincent (to Mouse): Woo hoo!
Eep (to Mouse): See you soon!
Several hours later:
Mouse: Safely, arrived in NYC...Eep looks like his head might explode & not surprisingly, Vincent has already made himself at home.
Vincent (to Mouse): Of COURSE I have. I was totes made 4 luxury.
Poppy (to Vincent): I'm sorry, honey, that I won't get to see you until dinner. I hope you're keeping yourself entertained without me.
Vincent (to Poppy): It's alright, sweetness. I know U have a job 2 do. I hope U'll find me worth the wait.
Eep: Jesus. I've already worked my way through half a pack of cigarettes. I had forgotten how much I hated crowds.
Poppy (to Eep): Honey, you're doing a wonderful job of being a supportive boyfriend, just remind yourself of that... plus all of the fun afterwards.
Eep (to Poppy): Oh. Um. Thanks. I, uh, I will. Are you feeling OK?
Poppy (to Eep): Honey, I'm in work mode & don't really have time for your questions... I have an event to run.
Eep (to Poppy): Oh right. Um, sorry. See you soon. (to Mouse) Poppy is seriously freaking me out.
Mouse (to Eep): I'm sorry I'm hogging the bathroom. It takes a lot of time to look fabulous. What did Poppy do now?
Eep (to Mouse): She's being really nice. It just doesn't seem natural for her. Weird.
A couple hours later:
Poppy (to Eep): How you holding up? The photoshoot went off without a hitch & Mouse totally owned it.
Eep (to Poppy): Oh. Uh, good. I'm good, I guess. The open bar helps. Heh. I'm not surprised. Mouse is made of awesome.
Mouse (to Eep): Awww, you say the sweetest things.
Eep (to Mouse): Heh. I speak the truth. I am the prophet of out times. I may also be drunk.
Mouse (to Eep): oh, the drunk prophet... His wisdom is truth. I may also be a little drunk.
Eep (to Mouse): Damn open bar. Heh. You look amazing tonight by the by.
Mouse (to Eep): Awwww.
Delia (to Vincent & Mouse): We're doin good here. Place hasn't burned down yet. You guys doin good up there?
Vincent (to Delia): We R doing awesome! 1st class & limo R the ONLY way 2 travel.
Mouse (to Delia): Yeah, it's a bit overwhelming, but fun.
Delia (to Mouse): sweetest deals! Glad its goin well!
