Neil covers Desiree's eyes as she washes the dishes, "Wha- Neil, what are you doing?" She chuckled while setting the dishes down and grabbing the towel on her shoulder to clean her hands off. Neil giggled like a little girl, "I have a surprise for you!" He sang as he shifted back and forth on his feet. Desiree sighed, "Neil, if it's another couch you found at a garage sale, we don't need it. Last time you brought home some furniture, we got bedbugs all over the place." She spoke as Neil led her to where the surprise was waiting.

Neil chuckled, "Hey, that couch was twenty bucks, okay? It was a steal." He pled his case. She shook her head, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure that couch was stolen from a damn landfill." She teased, causing Neil to knee her in the back. She winced, "Ow, you fucking sack of shit." She cried out. Neil uncovered Desiree's eyes and allowed them to adjust to her proper eyesight. As soon as she regained focus, she squealed and covered her mouth, "Bethany!" She shouted as she tackled the girl that stood in front of her.

Bethany stumbled back and hugged Desiree back, "Hey, Desi!" She responded as they swayed back and forth

Bethany stumbled back and hugged Desiree back, "Hey, Desi!" She responded as they swayed back and forth. They let go of the hug, "Well, I guess I didn't bring a bedbug back home." Neil jokes, causing Desiree to smack Neil. "Don't you dare be mean to my favorite Hardy sibling." Desiree joked as she wrapped her arm around Bethany. Neil gasped, "I have dedicated twenty years of my life to you, just for you to choose my snotty little eighteen year old sister over me?" He whined. "Yup, pretty much." Desiree nodded her head as she placed her hand on her hip. He looked over at Bethany and flipped her off, "She loves me more, fuck you." He joked.

Bethany laughed and shook her head, "Okay, so where are all the cute boys at? I didn't choose to live in Hawkins to not get a boyfriend automatically." She joked. Desiree smiled and squinted her eyes as she slowly looked over at Neil. Neil knew that look all too well, "Nope, nope, absolutely not. I forbid it." He argued as he crossed his arms as Bethany smiled, "Y'all know someone cute?" She asked. Desiree nodded and smiled, "He's one of our good friends."

Neil held his finger up and rested his other hand on his waist as he shook his head, "No, I will not have Bethany corrupt him." Neil argued. Desiree shrugged, "Too bad, I'm already planning the wedding." She said before turning and pulling Bethany to the room with her. She sits on the bed as Desiree rummages through her clothes, "You came just in time, we're having our weekly dinner at the diner and he'll be there!" Desiree sang the last part. Bethany laughed, "Do I look good enough?" She asked. Desiree nodded, "Yes, you look so good, I'm gonna have to steal you." She complimented.

Bethany flicked her hair over her shoulder and crossed her legs, "So, what's the hot gossip with you?" She asked. Desiree turned on her heel as she grabbed her outfit and smiled, "I have a boyfriend." Desiree smiled. Bethany choked on air, "But Desiree, Desiree Lopez doesn't get into relationships." She said in a shocked tone. Desiree nodded, "I know, Mark is just something." She said with a chuckle. Bethany smiled, "I can't wait to meet him." She said while laying back on the bed. "You'll meet your potential lover boy at the lunch too." Desiree winked as she stripped from her clothes and got dressed into her new outfit.
