"How are we doing, ladies? Need refills on your drinks?" The waitress asked, exchanging glances with Natalie.
"Mmph- 'nother sweet tea- please-" She smiled.
"Yes ma'am, I'll have another water, please." Lola took a more polished approach.
"Is very tasty-"
"I'd hope so-"
"I can't believe you're eating ribs with a fork and knife. You're bringing dishonor on your family for generations to come."
"Like yew ain't slobberin' over the-" Lola cleared her throat. "Excuse me. I'm just keeping clean while we're out."
"Did I just hear a bit of southern in you? I'm such a proud girlfriend."
"You heard nothing!"
"Boop! You're cute when you have sauce on your shirt."
"WHAT-"
"Saucy! Hello, Saucy, what's up?"
"NOOO-"
":3"
"You don't give me that smug look!"
":33"
"Does Natalie need to go in her time out corner?"
"NOOO- NOT THE TIME OUT-"
"That's what I thought :3"
"Wah. You uh-"
"Hehehe."
"You might be cute, but you'll never be as cool as WALUIGI!"
"I can't believe it... I've been outplayed! I can't beat this!"
"Waluigi just immediately outranks everyone."
"And here, we have the wild lesbian using one of her natural instinctive behaviors. She is using her "looking adorable" behavior."
"REALLY? And here we have the autistic in her natural habitat, as she struggles to make a joke."
"That's a low blow, Natalie..."
"I'll show you a low blow!"
"Bad Natalie! We don't hit our guardians!"
"WAAAAH- MY TOES-"
"That's how to keep a wild Natalie under control, subscribe for more."
"You little gremlin..."
"Shush, before I take away your gay."
"Nooo- agh..."
"Natalie? Natalie, are you okay? Are you okay??"
"Yeah- you're very strong! Hurt my little- ugh toesies!"
"How badly?? I'm sorry- I-"
"You're fine! I've been hurt before-"
"This isn't-"
"Yeaah, just the check and some boxes, thankies!!"
"Will do, Nat-"
"You're gonna go home and rest while I decorate, non negotiable."
"I want a bedtime story too, mom!!"
"Shush."
"If you wanna decorate for my birthday, my mom can show you your space. Second dining room, the one to the far far right of the house."

Lola could see why she'd never visited her friend's house, just looking at this monstrosity gave her chills. This massive three story Victorian mansion, joined to an extension out of the side of the house that doubled the size.
