I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak...
"Y/N? Can you even hear me?" Topaz waved her hands in your face.
I lose all control, and something takes over me...
"Y/N!" Numby swatted your leg with its wings, snapping you out of your trance.
"Huh? What?"
"Your pizza is getting cold. You better devour it before it goes bad!"
"Uh-huh," you raised the Clockie pizza to your mouth and took a bite. The savoriness zinged on your tastebuds. But it couldn't take off your mind off that cowboy, who you just met a couple weeks ago. Girl, even that dream replayed in your head everyday.
"It's nice to take a break from working. It's not often we get a whole pizza pie and party here," She stared ahead at a giant SoulGlad display that shot soda into the air every couple of seconds. "So how's your job?"
"It's okay, there's nothing much going on. But at the end of the day, I do have to repay the IPC."
"I like that energy! This is exactly why you're easier to get along than Aventurine." Topaz reached for another pizza, only to grab air. "What the? Where's the last pizza...?"
"Numby ate it," a new voice said. But there was tomato sauce on his lips.
"Aventurine! Ugh, you're a terrible liar," Topaz rolled her eyes.
His grin only widened further. "I got us Classic SoulGlad. Let's drink to our hearts content."
You each grabbed a bottle. "I haven't drank soda in a long time."
"Break the streak, Y/N!" Topaz told you.
You sipped the soda. It fizzed on your tongue, and you could taste all of the flavors. "This tastes amazing! Where'd you get this from?"
Aventurine shrugged. "I stole it from a truck."
You swiveled to him in shock. "Why?"
"Oh my God, you know you're not supposed steal..." Topaz shook her head.
"Haha, I'm just having a little fun with you," he laughed. "The little kid selling SoulGlad went on a bathroom break and I took a couple bottles. Don't worry, I paid him back."
You drank the last drop of SoulGlad before finishing it. "I need another bottle of this. It's so good!""Be quick. Don't keep me alone with this guy!" Topaz called out to you.
You chuckled and strode to the SoulGlad truck. Like Aventurine said, nobody was there. Curious, you glanced inside the truck. What was stored inside? There weren't much things to look at, other than the silent darkness.
"I don't know why people keep tryin' to barge into these trucks. Is there a pot of gold hidin' there somewhere inside?"
You turned around to see Boothill and froze like ice. Of course, he had to come in at the most appropriate times.
"And who are you?" You crossed your arms defensively.
"You know who I am. I ain't playin' games." His voice had an edge to it. Nothing like the gentleman you first met. The moonlight shun on his face, revealing a fiery glare directed at you.
