-It's year 2020 again and they're back at the lake-
"er, thanks. i like your shoes" is Brendon's very clever response to Terra's bowtie comment.
Terra looks down at her feet, almost like she has forgotten what shoes she was wearing. Brendon actually hates her shoes, too. They're navy toms and they look utterly un-natural to him.
Terra has worn toms ever since they first met. "thanks," says Terra. The two stand awkwardly. Terra shifts her weight from one leg to the other. Brendon's feet are rooted to the ground. He couldn't move, even if he wanted to right now.
A particularly loud camera click startles them both. "er, so listen. there's a pizza lounge place not too far away. They've got really good sause." Terra fiddles with her hair.
This can not mean what harry thinks it means. "And they make good the crust really thin, which you pretend to hate but i know you secretly love. I'd, erm. I'd really like to catch up with you, you know. if you want to, that is."
Brendon's heart slams painfully in his chest. God, Terra can't be doing this again....can't be asking him out. Terra cheated on him five years ago with Tom calder, of all people. They stopped talking five years ago. But yet she's still standing here, asking him out for pizza. How does Terra even know about the pizza crust anyway? Brendon had never told anyone he liked thin, crispy crust...
Brendon opens his mouth with the full intention of politely rejectingher and then going back to his place to munch on raw cookie dough and cry.
"yeah, okay, i'd like that too" is what he says instead.
