Scott Pligrim vs The World x Reader - Scott Pilgrim and the True Hero - Volume 2

We're Getting Somewhere (Chapter 11)

- Back in the Real World -

It was a little awkward that Matthew and Lucas had exited the portal to now be in Wallace's house, so their stay was brief, but productive. They both felt much better, and were on the path to a happier life as they left. That's what you hoped, at least.

"Is Mr. Rowe's couple counseling done?" Wallace jokingly asked.

"It's what had to be done to get them into the track of making this right." You justified.

- RING RING -

"Y/N?" Scott bid you to answer as he held a cup of cocoa while being wrapped in a blanket, likely shook from Envy's call.

"On it." You replied, answering the phone. "Roadkill Café, you kill it, we grill it, can I take your order?"

"Out of all the things you've said over the phone, that was the worst." Stacey bluntly commented.

"Yeah, I could've done better. Anyway, what's up?" You asked.

"I heard Scott's soul just got crushed. Go some insight on that?" Stacey inquired.

"Envy called him. I swore she sounded fairly nice, but whatever she told him really bummed him out. He was laying on the carpet for a good 20 minutes after the call." You informed.

"Did you tell him you and Knives fought because she tried to attack Ramona?" Stacey asked

"You and Knives fought and I missed it?!" Scott suddenly sprung up from the blanket, shocked. But in the process... "Aaaaah! Oooooh! Eeeeeouch!"

"What? What happened?!" Stacey exclaimed.

"Scott just spilled hot cocoa on his crotch from the shock." You answered, trying to hold in your laughter.

"Pffffft!" Stacey laughed, and it took everything in you to not burst out laughing too. But to no avail, because you and Stacey began cackling.

- At Stephen's house, later that day -

"I have some bad news." Scott announced as everyone prepared to practice.

Stephen stopped tuning his guitar's strings, Neil paused his game, and Kim simply looked up in curiosity.

"Uh... Envy Adams asked us to play a show. We have to go meet her tomorrow and talk about it. Or whatever." Scott begrudgingly said, arms crossed.

"That's bad news? That's great news!" Stephen, ecstatic, exclaimed.

"...your ex-girlfriend?" Kim asked.

"We're gonna open for them? They're known! We could get known!" Stephen began panicking from the prospect of a sudden boost in fame.

"At Lee's Palace, Sunday. She put us on the guest list." You added.

"I saw her on the cover of NOW." Kim commented, looking down.

"I've seen all my favorite bands play there!" Stephen exclaimed, still excited.

"I used to see a lot of shows there." Scott mentioned.

"She's pretty." Kim said, even more unenthusiastic than usual.

"This is awesome!" Stephen shouted.

"We suck! Oh my god! We're so bad! We can't play this show!" Stephen's panic attack began.

"Stephen Stills!" You interrupted him, slapping his face. "Calm the fuck down. This is an opportunity. For all of us. You want Sex Bob-Omb to go big? Now's your chance."

"I don't know, Wyenn." Stephen said, unsure. "I mean, I'm all for it, but what if we aren't ready? What if we mess up? We could embarrass ourselves? What if-"
