Hopeless Romantics

Episode 4 - Don't Change Stories Mid-Stream

[The setting took place at night outside the guys' usual bar as Derrick began to make his way inside. Derrick notices Kyle, Clyde and Gene huddled together at their booth as they are watching something off Kyle's phone. From the guys' point of view, they are watching a stream. The streamer is a female with long white-blond hair. The streamer is playing a video game while she has her camera on to react to the game. The video game appears similar to an open world RPG where her avatar was playing against a blue and floating dragon.]

Streamer: Hey-hey! It's that blue Soarnadeus from the other night! Prepare to be dazzled!

[The Soarnadeus wiped out her party with a purple energy cannon.]

Streamer: WHOA! WAIT, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

[Meanwhile, her partner, resembling a white and fluffy puppy approached the dragon and raised its leg to the dragon, where it had urinated where the dragon floated.]

Streamer: Agh, Mr. Fluffels!! I can't believe you did that!

[The guys nearly choke with laughter, and Derrick approaches the group with a confused look. Derrick had bought his drink at the bar.]

Derrick: Whatcha watching?

Clyde: Kyle is showing us this V-Tuber he found on Blink.

Kyle: She's hilarious. Just when you think everything is going right for her, boom! Another instance happens, and her reactions are priceless.

Derrick: You don't say?

[Derrick sits down and takes a sip of his berry-cider beer.]

Kyle: Oh shit! She just lost another one!

Clyde: What a drag.

Gene: Anyway, her name is EuniMakesMagic. You should definitely check her out!

Derrick: Thanks, but I'll pass.

Clyde: You sure? I bet she'll take your mind off how long, hard, and stressful your day was.

Derrick: Thanks, Clyde. But watching other people stress themselves out wouldn't relieve my own personal stress.

Clyde: Alright, you're missing out.

Kyle: Oh man, she just bodied the dragon!

Clyde: What?! How did I miss that?

Gene: That's why I told you to pay attention.

Clyde: You didn't tell me shit.

Gene: No, I specifically said-

Kyle: Op, watch out, she's going to go in for the kill-code!

[There is a moment of silence until suddenly Kyle bursts with laughter.]

Kyle: NO WAY!

Clyde: She just fell down fifty stories.

[Derrick takes a sip of his beer as Gene's voice begins to fade in the background.]

Gene: Oh, man. I would hate to have to climb all the way back up there.

[The scene shifted to Derrick's bedroom as it reveals Derrick had finally given in to watch EuniMakesMagic's stream. Derrick is watching lying in his bed as he holds his phone over his head. Derrick watched the streamer defeat the final boss.]

EuniMakesMagic: AHHH! Almost there! Just gotta put in the kill code!

[From the screen, we see her put in a six digit code to activate the final move. After doing so, she uses her final attack until a white light blinded her screen. The light faded and the boss was finally defeated.]
