Venture Bros: The Confession

Envy

"I can't believe her!" Dr.Venture was now ranting and raving, practically foaming at the mouth about what had happened, "Then she says, "Brock? Would you like to have dinner sometime?" Right in front of me!"

Working in the lab, Dr.Venture pulled the goggles up onto his head and looked over at his albino friend, who sat in a chair and watched him as he tinkered with some gadgets.

"I don't understand why you're so upset." Pete admitted, leaning back in his chair lazily, "You told her you don't want a girlfriend, but then you get mad when she decides to be with someone else."

"But that someone else is Brock!" Dr.Venture exclaimed unhappily, "I didn't think she would go for my bodyguard!"

"You're surprised any woman, especially an attractive woman would want to date Brock Samson?" Pete glanced over at Dr.Venture with a smirk and starting to lose the handle on his end of the conversation he replied,

"Of course not! It's just..."

"Look, Rusty, I'm not entirely sure what sort of outcome you'd want in a situation like this." Pete sat up now, obviously interested in listening to what his friend had to say but also enjoying the drama unfolding before him.

"It's simple really," Dr.Venture told Pete nonchalantly, "I want to be able to sleep with whoever I want, but I also want Kitty to only want me."

Pete rolled his eyes now and stood up from his chair with a sigh,

"Rust, I gotta tell ya, for a super scientist. you're being a real bonehead right now."

Dr.Venture looked the smallest bit offended now after hearing this, "What? How?"

"Do you like Kitty? Like really like her?" Pete asked and obviously lying, Dr.Venture responded,

"I like her as an acquaintance or a friend. But that's all. I think even calling her a friend would be saying too much."

"Just acquaintances?" Pete repeated part of Dr.Ventures words back to him and then gave him a mischievous smile, "Well, maybe when she's finished with Brock I could ask her out to dinner. Then again, we could always just eat in."

Dr.Ventures face was red now and flustered he told Pete,

"No way! She's off limits!"

"Why is that? After all, you two aren't even friends. You're just acquaintances." Pete almost taunted his friend with his words and Dr.Venture struggled to calm himself down,

"You were just saying that stuff to mess with me. You wouldn't actually-"

"Probably not." Pete shrugged innocently, "Especially if Brock gets to her first. Then it's no contest."

Dr.Venture stared down at the tools in front of him on his desk and Pete added,

"How did you manage to hook a babe like that anyways?"

Dr.Venture leaned his head on his hand as his elbow rested on the table. He stared off into space as if he were imagining the first time they'd met,

"We met at a fancy gala. We both did coke in the bathroom together and then the both of us got kidnapped by a guy that calls himself "The Stalker". After we were rescued, we both went and got a few drinks together at that place downtown next to Tony's Pizza..."

Dr.Venture snapped his fingers as if he were having a hard time remembering what the name was and Pete tried to help him,

"Are you talking about The Hairy Lemon or Dirty Dicks?"

"No, it's on the tip of my tongue- ah!" Dr.Venture finally remembered with a grin, "The Moon Lounge. She insisted on us going there. Said it was one of her favorite dive bars in town."

A flashback shows their first night together.

"We both ordered a couple of drinks. She ordered a dirty martini and not wanting to intimidate her with any of my own drink inventions, I got myself an old fashioned."

Pete rolled his eyes at the comment Dr.Venture made about his drinks while he continued,

"We're schmoozing it up at the bar, sitting at our stools. She must've drank about five or six of those martinis. I wouldn't outright say it to her face but she likes to drink. A lot. She asks if I wanna take the conversation back to her place and I tell her yes. We're making out in the car and finally we arrive at her expensive high rise apartment."

"Oooh! Finally, we're getting into all the juicy details!" Pete seemed more interested now than he did before.

"We're getting even more steamy. We fall onto the bed and she's starting to take off her dress... then before I know it she gags and proceeds to run to the bathroom in her room and puke."

"Okay...?" Pete almost seemed kind of confused at this point. Things were getting really good and then just kind of dropped off from where it was.

"I felt kind of bad... so I went to check and see if she was okay. She wiped her mouth off and even though she had just gotten sick, she was still probably one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met."

Despite claiming he and Kitty were only acquaintances, Dr.Venture seemed in a daze while he was talking about her now. Pete smiled but shook his head when he saw this.
