The Misadventures of Westney

Soaking Wet and Covered in Glitter

11:49
Wes: Where are you? It's almost midnight  and you haven't come home yet.
Courtney: He's after me
Wes: What?
Wes: Are you ok?
Courtney: I'll explain when I get home. Keep the door locked and don't let anyone in but me.
Wes sighed. That was weird. At least it didn't sound like she was in any real danger.

12:04
"Why are you soaking wet and covered in glitter?!"
"Shayne!" Courtney pushed past him and slammed the door, locking it behind her.
"What happened? Are you ok?"
"No, I'm not. I put peanut butter under his door handle and then-"
"You started a prank war against the most competitive person we know?"
"...Yes."
"Who becomes a crazy psycho who does not know when to stop?"
"...Yes."
"And that's why you're soaking wet and covered in glitter?"
"...Yes."
Wes sighed, trying to hide a small smile, "Great. Do you have a plan?"
"Kind of, but I need your help."
"Ok. Let's do it."
Courtney brushed her wet, glittery hair out of her face, "Um, ok, Shayne has definitely followed me here, so we can't leave, but I read this thing about how human instincts tend to override each other."
"What?"
"Yes, Shayne is very competitive, but he's also very compassionate. So we use that to weaken him, then beat him."
"...You're kind of terrifying sometimes."
"So what?! Let's get to work!"

12:10
Shayne peered his head through the suspiciously open door.
"Courtney?" He sang, "I know you're here. Wait, Wes?"
Wes was sitting on the couch...crying.
"Hey, are you ok?"
"No, but," he sniffed, "It's, um, it's fine. I'm fine. Everything's fine."
"Are you sure? We can talk, if you want."
"Yeah, that be nice."
Shayne tentatively sat on the couch, "So, uh, what's the problem?"
"This guy started something with Courtney and...I really want to get him back."
"W-What?"
"Take this, fartwad!" Courtney burst out of her room, silly string in hand.
"Courtney, stop-"
She keep spraying him. Wes pulled a can out from under a throw pillow and started spraying too.
Shayne slid onto the floor, silly string covering him.
"Ok, ok! You win! It's over!"
"Ha hah!" Courtney jumped and clapped her hands, "Hoo hoo!"
"You are crazy," Shayne laughed as he stood, "Wes, you-Ugh! I can't believe I fell for that!"
"That's what you get!"
"You got off easy Shayne," Courtney said as she plucked a strand of silly string from his face, "I'm going to glitter on me for the rest of my life. Also, how did you get so much glitter so quickly?"
"Maybe I had a giant tub in my car because maybe Damien and I scrapbooked over the weekend."
"Way to put it to good use," Wes commented.

12:30
Courtney is showered and safely tucked away in her bed. Shayne is safely arriving at his place. Wes is cleaning silly string off the floor.
All is well.
Courtney: Go to sleep
Wes: why aren't you asleep?
Courtney: Because I can hear you. We can clean in the morning.
Wes: fine. Good night Courtney, see you in the morning.
Courtney: good night. Love youuu!
Wes: love you too
Yes...all is well.
