Deep Secrets of the Mysterious Basement

Secrets to Finding a Partner

"In that case, our culprit doesn't stand a chance. I don't think a coat rack would keep them away, but if you have a plan to keep us alive... I'll go along with it." "I've been well equipped for this moment; I have an incredible amount of courage, strength, and intellect. Remember, once we begin this journey there's no going back. There's no room for the faint of heart." "You're right I should get out of here. I'll probably slow you down." "If you say so, Agent Goose." "Agent Goose?" "Watson was already taken." "Heh...  Then again, I couldn't live with myself if you had died in the hands of..." "You should get out of here. Leave this to the professionals." Simon came back up to us, pulling me close to him. "I'll make sure she is as safe as a baby kitten in her own little basket." "Oh? Well, if you have everything handled..." "Trust me, we do." Simon shooed him away. I stared at Simon's arm around me, "Oh, yeah... That wasn't suspicious at all." "I make it my business to lose unnecessary competition." "You do realize that you're backing yourself into a smaller corner?" "I was hoping you would catch the connection, but I hate to disappoint you... My intentions are purely done with selfish attraction which I know you can't help but resist." "Selfish attraction? Do you seriously think I would fall into your arms with a line like that?" "No, but I like seeing your annoyed face. Who is that guy anyways?" "What business is that of yours?" "I just want to know what I'm up against. Did you date him?" "No, it had never gotten that far and from my personal experience... It would never become that far." "Ah, but you hoped it would?" "Let's get something straight, Flirty Faucet... I don't ever get a real happily ever after. I'm the girl who has everything fall apart when things get good. I'm the girl who is cursed to spend my life dreaming of what could be instead of actually being. So, that is what makes me perfect for this detective job. I don't have kids that need me to look out for them and I don't have a husband to worry about whether or not I make it home. All I need to do is make sure I leave this world fighting for a better tomorrow." "So... What you're saying is that you compensate for your loneliness by keeping yourself occupied and becoming Batgirl?" "I'm doing what I'm supposed to." "What happens when your luck changes?" "Do you see a pig flying?" "Uh... No?" "Then it's safe to say that my luck will remain consistent and I can go on my merry way." "What happened to your sense of hope?" "It died when I realized that the only way I'm ever going to have a family of my own is through writing, fantasy, and The Sims 4." 

"Or maybe you're preventing yourself from reaching your dreams because you're afraid of failing. Did you think of that?" "Who asked you?" "You know it's probably just as well... For all we know, he could have been the killer's partner in crime this whole time and he was only getting close to you so that you wouldn't suspect him." "Annnd... here we go bringing up the same point that could apply to you. Do you want me to arrest you or what?" "Might as well, I don't have a wife to care about where I am and I don't have kids to put to shame." "You're a real pain in the neck." I punched him in the shoulder. "Oof, you're strong without a pillow. How long have you been training to become a detective again?" "I observed Princess Fiona's moves very carefully so don't you test me." "Ah, so that's where you get your ferociousness from. Here I thought you were an apprentice from the Karate Kid." "You know I've changed my mind; I'm not about to let you face that basement on your own." Agent Goose came back to me; saving me from getting dangerously close with Simon. "Woo, that was a close one... If we are going to get the bottom of this mystery we're gonna have to lose these constant distractions." "The only distraction for me is you." "Fortunately, that is a distraction that is greatly welcomed any time. I can't get you out of my mind even if I wanted to." "And fortunately for me you never wanted to." "How could I when all you've ever done was make my life magical again?" "Is that a quip about that booth with Mr. Orange Head?" "You mean the one where I wrote America's great again if people make it great; all you need is love?" "From where I'm standing, you weren't wrong." "I am never wrong! I believe in angels." "You should; you are one." "From dolphins to angels; that's some upgrade we've gotten ourselves into." "I'll say, it kind of gives you a piece of mind." "And we won't have to frown because our face won't stick like that!" "For what it's worth... You made my life magical too."
