|- You're annoying Vee -|

Dandy was taking a break as always everyone was in the elevators It was a normal peaceful day he was just reading a book with his dog Pebble in his lap until here came trouble Dandy relished a rare moment of tranquility, nestled deeply into his favorite armchair with a captivating book in hand and his loyal dog, Pebble, resting comfortably in his lap. The sun filtered through the window, casting a warm glow that seemed to wrap the room in a comforting embrace. It was a perfectly peaceful day—until the storm arrived in the form of Vee. He had grown accustomed to her unpredictable visits, but he could never quite fathom why she seemed to take such pleasure in pestering him.

With a heavy sigh, Dandy muttered to himself, "Ugh."  

Vee sauntered into the room, her demeanor brimming with mischief. "Hey, jackass," she greeted him with a lopsided grin.  

Dandy rolled his eyes and answered, "What do you want this time?"  

"Oh, nothing of consequence," she replied dismissively, a teasing glint in her eyes.  

He couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Seriously, why does Shelly even like you?"  

She raised an eyebrow defiantly. "Maybe it's because I'm a badass."  

Dandy scoffed, "Yeah, keep telling yourself that." 

Just then, Shelly breezed into the room, her infectious enthusiasm lighting up the space.  

"Hey, Vee!" she called, her voice melodic and bright.  

"Hey, Shelly!" Vee responded, her attitude softening in Shelly's presence.  

Dandy grimaced inwardly, his patience wearing thin from the endless display of their flirtation. He reluctantly set his book aside, placed Pebble on his bed, and ventured out in search of a more tolerable companion—Astro.

"Hey, Astro," Dandy greeted him as he entered the bustling common area.  

"Hey, Dandy!" Astro replied, his expression lively and eager.  

"I could use your help with something," Dandy said, glancing surreptitiously back at Vee and Shelly.  

"Oh? What's on your mind?" Astro asked, a knowing smile creeping onto his face.  

"I'm thinking of pranking Vee. You in?" Dandy proposed mischief dancing in his eyes.  

Astro raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh, sure! I honestly thought you were about to ask me to take them out, given that look you had."  

"Why on earth would I even consider that?" Dandy exclaimed incredulity etched across his face.  

"You just seemed a bit intense. Besides, Vee has been insufferable lately—especially since Shrimpo is out sick, leaving her as a less-than-desirable replacement," Astro observed, shaking his head.

"True, she's been relentless in her taunts," Dandy admitted, his expression shifting to one of feigned sympathy. With a swirl of his hand, Astro conjured a gentle stream of water that cascaded down onto Vee's head.  

"AHH!" Vee screamed as water soaked her screen, wide-eyed with shock.  

"Oh my gosh, what just happened?" Shelly gasped her mouth agape at the unexpected turn of events.

In that instant, a bright wave of satisfaction washed over Dandy. Sometimes, a little playful rebellion was just the remedy needed to counteract the irritation of an unwelcome guest. came along he didn't know why she hated him so much She always came into his room for no reason
