    >find her at the food court eating one of those big pretzels
  22. 22.
    >decide to grab an Orange Julius and some TCBY frozen yogurt
  23. 23.
    "...so then she was all like, no WAY, and I was all like, WAAAY, and then she was all like, NO. WAY. But I was all like, WAAAAAY..."
  24. 24.
    >Scoot keeps going on and on about some bullshit that happened at school or something
  25. 25.
    >you can't even follow what she's saying
  26. 26.
    >ever since she heard "Valley Girl" on the radio last week she's been talking this way
  27. 27.
    >it kind of gets on your nerves but whatever
  28. 28.
    >she'll grow out of it soon, you hope
  29. 29.
    >interrupt her because you finally can't take it anymore
  30. 30.
    >suggest going to Sam Goody to look at cassette tapes
  31. 31.
    >Scoot thinks that would be totally rad
  32. 32.
    >in Sam Goody now
  33. 33.
    >browsing through the racks
  34. 34.
    >pretend to be looking for the new Motley Crue but actually you're looking for the new Bryan Adams
  35. 35.
    >suddenly Scoot nudges your shoulder
  36. 36.
    "Hey, look, it's your boyfriend..."
  37. 37.
    >you look up
  38. 38.
    "Oh, crap."
  39. 39.
    >it's that weird guy Anon
  40. 40.
    >he's always following you around even though he's like 25
  41. 41.
    >you try to hide behind a cardboard cutout of Cyndi Lauper
  42. 42.
    >but it's too late, he's already seen you
  43. 43.
    >he comes up, starts talking
  44. 44.
    >says he made you another mixtape
  45. 45.
    >say thank you, put it in your pocket
  46. 46.
    >he says you should listen to it right away because he worked really hard on it
  47. 47.
    >tell him you don't have your Walkman so you can't
  48. 48.
    >he points to the giant Walkman clipped to the pocket of your jeans and the headphones around your neck
  49. 49.
    >tell him it's broken and you're just wearing it as a fashion accessory
  50. 50.
    >if that's true, he wonders, then why does he hear New Kids on the Block coming out of your headphones right now
  51. 51.
    >blush
  52. 52.
    >tell him it's his imagination
  53. 53.
    >besides, you wouldn't be listening to New Kids on the Block anyway
  54. 54.
    >he says whatever, just be sure to listen to it later
  55. 55.
    >finally leaves
  56. 56.
    >Scoot immediately starts teasing you
  57. 57.
    >she wants you to put the tape in and play it
  58. 58.
    >tell her no way
  59. 59.
    >it's probably just a bunch of Oingo Boingo songs like the last one he made you
  60. 60.
    >she reminds you that "My Sharona" was also on there
  61. 61.
    >tell her that doesn't really make it better
  62. 62.
    >she keeps teasing you as you pay for your Bryan Adams tape and exit the store
  63. 63.
    >you're starting to get mad
  64. 64.
    >tell her that if she likes Anon so much then maybe she should go out with him
  65. 65.
     
  66. 66.
     
  67. 67.
    >Scoot makes a face
  68. 68.
    "Eeeeew, like, gag me with a spoon..."
  69. 69.
    >you're sorely tempted to grant her request
  70. 70.
    >but you threw away your spoon when you finished your TCBY yogurt
  71. 71.
    >try to change the subject by suggesting the two of you go to the arcade
  72. 72.
    >Scoot is in favor of this
  73. 73.
    >as you're walking there she starts bragging about how she just got a brand-new Atari 2600 for her birthday
  74. 74.
    >god damn it
  75. 75.
    >you already spent the whole school day listening to her yap about this
  76. 76.
    >but you don't mind it so long as she's not talking about you and Anon any more
  77. 77.
    >besides, you know that getting that Atari was a pretty big deal for her
  78. 78.
    >her family is, like, totally poor
  79. 79.
    >god damn it
  80. 80.
    >now she's even got your inner monologue talking like a valley girl
  81. 81.
    >her family is poor, you correct yourself
  82. 82.
    >meanwhile, you reach the arcade
  83. 83.
    >and she keeps talking
  84. 84.
    >and talking
  85. 85.
    >you're on your fourth game of Ms. Pac Man by now
  86. 86.
    >and Scoot still won't shut up about how she can fucking play Pong whenever she wants to and it won't even cost a quarter
  87. 87.
    >finally she suggests you sleep over at her house tonight so the two of you can play it
  88. 88.
    >as annoyed as you've been with Scoot today you can't help but agree
  89. 89.
    >you've always been curious what her house is like
  90. 90.
    >and besides, you really do want to play her Atari
  91. 91.
    >the two of you leave the arcade and go back to the food court
  92. 92.
    >there's a pay phone here, you can call Big Mac and tell him you won't need a ride
  93. 93.
    >get to the phone, realize you spent your last quarter on Ms. Pac Man
  94. 94.
    >Scoot doesn't have any money either
  95. 95.
    >big surprise there
  96. 96.
    >you go to the fountain to see if anyone threw any quarters in there
  97. 97.
    >it's all pennies though
  98. 98.
    >Scoot suggests just grabbing 25 of those and trading them for a quarter at Orange Julius
  99. 99.
    >but it sounds like too much trouble
  100. 100.
    >besides, the last time you went fishing around in the fountain you got caught by the security guard
  101. 101.
    >god damn it
  102. 102.
    >looks like you have no choice
  103. 103.
    >the two of you wander around the mall until you bump into Anon again
  104. 104.
    >tell him you need a quarter so you can call your brother
  105. 105.
    >he offers to give you a ride home instead
  106. 106.
    >tell him no thanks
  107. 107.
    >you just need a quarter
  108. 108.
    >he asks if you've had a chance to listen to the tape yet
  109. 109.
    >you tell him no, not yet
  110. 110.
    >your Walkman is out of batteries
  111. 111.
    >meanwhile "The Right Stuff" can clearly be heard coming out of your headphones
  112. 112.
    >anyway you have to flirt with him a little but eventually he gives you some money
  113. 113.
    >he reminds you to listen to the tape, he wants to know what you think of it
  114. 114.
    >says goodbye and walks off
  115. 115.
    >you can feel your whole body burning red
  116. 116.
    >Scoot is doubled over laughing
  117. 117.
    >tell her to cram it
  118. 118.
    "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. So how much did he give you, anyway?"
  119. 119.
    >look at the bill he handed you
  120. 120.
    >holy shit, it's like twenty bucks
  121. 121.
    >Scoot immediately suggests seeing a movie
  122. 122.
    >tell her you need to call your brother first
  123. 123.
    >she reminds you that you need to break the bill and get change anyway
  124. 124.
    >you can't dispute the logic of this
  125. 125.
    >so the two of you go to the movie theater
  126. 126.
     
  127. 127.
     
  128. 128.
    >spend some time arguing about which movie to see
  129. 129.
    >Scoot really wants to see A Nightmare on Elm Street
  130. 130.
    >but you don't like those kinds of movies
  131. 131.
    >plus The Karate Kid is playing and you really, really want to see it
  132. 132.
    >you've been madly in love with Ralph Macchio ever since you saw the preview
  133. 133.
    >but you don't want to explain that to Scootaloo because she'll tease you about it
  134. 134.
    >so you give her some half-assed excuse about how it's because you want to learn karate
  135. 135.
    >she doesn't buy it for a second
  136. 136.
    >immediately starts giving you shit about Ralph Macchio
  137. 137.
    >you blush
  138. 138.
    >then she starts giving you shit about Anon again
  139. 139.
    >you blush harder
  140. 140.
    >she wonders who would win if Ralph Macchio and Anon ever got into a fight over you
  141. 141.
    >which is stupid
  142. 142.
    >obviously Ralph Macchio would win because he knows karate
  143. 143.
    >and Anon is a jerk, he's not even cute or anything
  144. 144.
    >even though it was kind of nice of him to give you the $20
  145. 145.
    >anyway, you restrain the urge to use your karate moves on Scootaloo
  146. 146.
    >you tell her that if she'll shut the hell up already, you'll agree to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street with her
  147. 147.
    >you figure the ticket guy probably won't let you guys into that movie without an adult anyway
  148. 148.
    >then you can go see Ralph Macchio instead
  149. 149.
    >but the ticket guy doesn't even give a shit, he just sells you the tickets
  150. 150.
    >doesn't ask for an ID or anything
  151. 151.
    >god damn it
  152. 152.
    >oh well, at least they have popcorn and stuff in here, you're getting hungry again
  153. 153.
    >get yourself a popcorn and a soda and a pack of Twizzlers
  154. 154.
    >Scootaloo gets nachos, a soda and a hot dog
  155. 155.
    >you've already spent like half your money but whatever
  156. 156.
    >as long as you have a quarter left over that's all that matters
  157. 157.
    >anyway, you watch the movie
  158. 158.
    >it's actually not as scary as you thought it would be
  159. 159.
    >you're actually kind of enjoying it
  160. 160.
    >you look over and notice that Scootaloo looks really scared, though
  161. 161.
    >she jumps at all the scary parts and keeps trying to cover her eyes while holding her food
  162. 162.
    >at one point Freddy Krueger makes her jump so hard she spills soda on the old guy sitting in the row ahead
  163. 163.
    >he seems annoyed
  164. 164.
    >by the time you're walking out of the theater she's recovered herself and keeps trying to laugh it off, but you're not having it
  165. 165.
    >you've finally got something you can give her shit about and you're not going to cut her any slack
  166. 166.
    >you flap your elbows like wings and make chicken noises at her
  167. 167.
    >she gets flustered and turns bright red
  168. 168.
    >she tries to turn it back around on you and starts in about Anon again
  169. 169.
    >but you just turn it back around on her
  170. 170.
    >you wonder out loud if Anon likes eating chicken
  171. 171.
    >the conversation gets pretty raunchy from there
  172. 172.
    >by the end of it you're both laughing hysterically
  173. 173.
    >the other people in the crowd keep giving both of you dirty looks
  174. 174.
    >you realize that you were both probably making a lot of noise during the movie
  175. 175.
     
  176. 176.
     
  177. 177.
    >also, you notice the guy that Scoot spilled her soda on complaining to the manager on your way out
  178. 178.
    >you overhear him saying something about how kids your age shouldn't even be watching a movie like that in the first place
  179. 179.
    >you feel kind of bad for the ticket guy
  180. 180.
    >he's probably going to get in trouble for letting you in
  181. 181.
    >but you're having way too much fun to feel bad about it for long
  182. 182.
    >eventually you both end up back in the food court eating more frozen yogurt
  183. 183.
    >you suddenly notice that the food court is nearly empty and some of the restaurants have those metal grate thingies pulled down
  184. 184.
    >you cut Scootaloo off in the middle of her sentence and ask her what time it is
  185. 185.
    >she looks at her cheap off-brand digital wristwatch
  186. 186.
    "Oh crap, it's 9:15 already!"
  187. 187.
    >you realize you still have like 4 dollar bills left in your pocket plus several quarters, but you completely forgot to call Big Mac
  188. 188.
    >you and Scoot go running through the mall to the exit
  189. 189.
    >sure enough Big Mac is sitting outside in his truck
  190. 190.
    >he looks mad
  191. 191.
    >he looks even madder after you explain that you are staying at Scootaloo's tonight and didn't actually need a ride
  192. 192.
    >you meant to call him but you forgot, you explain
  193. 193.
    >he doesn't say anything, he just drives off
  194. 194.
    >you can hear his Def Leppard tape fading into the distance
  195. 195.
    >you turn to see Scoot giving you a funny look
  196. 196.
    "Why did you tell him to leave, anyway? He could have just given us a ride to my house."
  197. 197.
    "Wait, isn't someone comin' to pick you up?"
  198. 198.
    "No, I just walked here."
  199. 199.
    "Oh."
  200. 200.
    >Scoot rolls her eyes
  201. 201.
    "Smooth move, Ex-Lax."
  202. 202.
    >by the time you finally get to Scoot's house, it's almost ten
  203. 203.
    >but she's been going on and on about her Atari 2600 the entire time
  204. 204.
    >you're getting pretty excited about an entire night of Pong, and you're both pretty hopped up on sugar by this point
  205. 205.
    >neither one of you is especially tired
  206. 206.
    >however, when you see Scootaloo's house you stop walking
  207. 207.
    "Uh, is this really where you live, Scoot?"
  208. 208.
    >you're looking at a beat up old house with ghetto bars on the windows and a rusted El Camino in the lawn
  209. 209.
    "Yeah, what of it?"
  210. 210.
    >Scoot seems a little defensive so you don't push it
  211. 211.
    >but you've driven past this house with your sister many times before
  212. 212.
    >you never knew anyone actually lived in it
  213. 213.
    >you always assumed it was abandoned
  214. 214.
    >or maybe a crack house or something
  215. 215.
    >when you were little you thought it was haunted
  216. 216.
    >anyway, Scoot opens the door
  217. 217.
    "I'm home!"
  218. 218.
    >a woman who sounds drunk shouts something unintelligible in response
  219. 219.
    >it turns out that Scoot lives with her two aunts
  220. 220.
    >you're not sure where her parents are and you're not sure if it would be polite to ask
  221. 221.
    >so you don't say anything about it
  222. 222.
    >but her house is...an experience
  223. 223.
    >there's furniture from just about every decade except the current one
  224. 224.
    >all of it in pretty bad shape
  225. 225.
    >most of the wallpaper is gone
  226. 226.
    >the whole place smells like cigarette smoke
  227. 227.
    >plus they've got like 20 cats
  228. 228.
    >surprisingly though, they also have a brand new color TV
  229. 229.
    >cable even
  230. 230.
    >one of her aunts is watching WWF on it
  231. 231.
     
  232. 232.
     
  233. 233.
    >anyway, Scoot introduces you to her two aunts
  234. 234.
    >they seem a little too interested in you and it makes you uncomfortable
  235. 235.
    >you're happy to get upstairs to Scoot's room and close the door
  236. 236.
    >Scoot's room is...interesting
  237. 237.
    >it's a complete mess of course, just like the rest of the house
  238. 238.
    >walls are covered with weird, incongruous posters
  239. 239.
    >a photo of Alice Cooper holding a rotting skull is hanging right next to Molly Ringwald in 16 Candles
  240. 240.
    >hilariously, she has what appears to be a shrine to Corey Haim taped to the mirror on her dressing table
  241. 241.
    >she quickly throws a jacket over it and scowls
  242. 242.
    >you suppress laughter
  243. 243.
    >Scoot points to the top bunk of her bunk bed
  244. 244.
    "Uh, you can sleep there tonight if you want"
  245. 245.
    >you look
  246. 246.
    >there's a giant pile of dirty clothes on top of it
  247. 247.
    >Scoot blushes
  248. 248.
    >grabs the clothes and throws them into a corner
  249. 249.
    >a cat that was sleeping under the the pile hisses at her and runs out the door
  250. 250.
    >you continue to suppress laughter
  251. 251.
    "Anyway, here's my Atari", she mutters
  252. 252.
    >she moves another pile of dirty clothes off of a TV
  253. 253.
    >it's smaller than the one downstairs
  254. 254.
    >but it's still a newer color model
  255. 255.
    >apparently TVs are the one thing this family is willing to spend money on
  256. 256.
    >you move in closer to examine the fabled Atari 2600
  257. 257.
    >it's frigging ColecoVision
  258. 258.
    >Scoot apparently doesn't know the difference
  259. 259.
    >also, she doesn't even have Pong
  260. 260.
    >you're not even sure if this thing can run Pong
  261. 261.
    >the only game she has is Donkey Kong, which came with the system
  262. 262.
    >apparently Scoot thinks this is what Pong is
  263. 263.
    >whatever though, it's a fun game
  264. 264.
    >actually better than Pong
  265. 265.
    >play it for a couple of hours
  266. 266.
    >Scoot's weird aunts keep popping in to "check" on the two of you
  267. 267.
    >they're starting to give you the creeps but whatever
  268. 268.
    >start to get hungry
  269. 269.
    >Scoot says there are some frozen pizzas you guys could heat up
  270. 270.
    >sounds great, head down to the kitchen
  271. 271.
    >heat up some pizzas
  272. 272.
    >they're the cheap but good kind
  273. 273.
    >take them back upstairs along with a two-liter bottle of store-brand fruit punch and some potato chips
  274. 274.
    >you can't really play games while eating so you switch on the TV
  275. 275.
    >Scoot has cable which is nice
  276. 276.
    >your farm is too far out of the way to get cable, so you have a giant satellite dish behind the house
  277. 277.
    >also Granny Smith is concerned about "Satanic influences" so you're not allowed to watch most of the channels
  278. 278.
    >you've never even seen MTV before
  279. 279.
    >Scoot's aunts don't give a shit though, they just let her watch whatever
  280. 280.
    >the two of you eat pizza and watch music videos
  281. 281.
    >after you're finished eating you guys end up doing impromptu karaoke, singing along with the videos
  282. 282.
    >apparently Scoot knows all the lyrics to "Take on Me"
  283. 283.
    >even the parts where he's singing in a really high voice and you could never tell what he's saying
  284. 284.
    >turns out he's saying "I'll be gone in a day or two"
  285. 285.
    >you're learning a lot today
  286. 286.
    >anyway after that, "Shout at the Devil" comes on so you pretty much have to
  287. 287.
    >Granny Smith would probably have a heart attack if she saw you singing along to this
  288. 288.
     
  289. 289.
     
  290. 290.
    >you don't know all the words though so you end up fudging a lot of it
  291. 291.
    >Scoot joins in too, but she doesn't know all the words to this one either
  292. 292.
    >you're both fudging through the fast parts singing different made up nonsense
  293. 293.
    >but when it gets to the part where he says "bloodstain on the stay-yay-yage" you both nail it
  294. 294.
    >then you both start cracking up
  295. 295.
    >finally one of her aunts pounds on the door and yells at you to be quiet
  296. 296.
    >you look at the digital clock on Scoot's dresser
  297. 297.
    >turns out it's like one in the morning
  298. 298.
    >whoops.jpg
  299. 299.
    >or maybe the word "whoops" spelled out in crude vector graphics and saved to a cassette backup
  300. 300.
    >or whatever they would have had back then
  301. 301.
    >anyway neither of you feel like going to sleep yet
  302. 302.
    >but you agree to be quiet
  303. 303.
    >turn the volume down a little and stop singing along with the videos
  304. 304.
    >after about 30 minutes you realize you're both hungry again and sneak back downstairs to heat up another pizza
  305. 305.
    >eat more pizza, watch more videos
  306. 306.
    >then "Heaven" by Bryan Adams comes on
  307. 307.
    >god damn it
  308. 308.
    >there's no way you'll be able to make it through this one without tearing up
  309. 309.
    >however it looks like Scootaloo is having the same problem
  310. 310.
    >turns out you both really love Bryan Adams
  311. 311.
    >you confess that Bryan Adams is the only man you'd be willing to divorce Ralph Macchio for
  312. 312.
    >you expect to just get made fun of again
  313. 313.
    >but instead Scoot gets mad, insisting that she's going to marry Bryan Adams
  314. 314.
    >this devolves into a heated argument over which one of you will actually get to marry Bryan Adams
  315. 315.
    >decide to settle it with a game of Pong
  316. 316.
    >which apparently means playing Donkey Kong for another hour
  317. 317.
    >whoever ends up with the highest score gets to marry Bryan Adams
  318. 318.
    >the competition gets pretty heated
  319. 319.
    >Scoot's aunt has to bang on the door again at one point
  320. 320.
    >but ultimately it ends with Scootaloo as the victor
  321. 321.
    >you mumble that it isn't fair because it's her game and she plays it all the time
  322. 322.
    >she keeps on giving you shit about it though
  323. 323.
    >besides, she says, it's not fair that you should get to have Ralph Macchio and Bryan Adams and Anon
  324. 324.
    >you tell her she can have Anon if she wants
  325. 325.
    >she doesn't
  326. 326.
    >this devolves into a ten minute session of making fun of Anon
  327. 327.
    >eventually Scoot asks if you still have Anon's mixtape
  328. 328.
    >you lie and say you threw it away
  329. 329.
    "Too bad, it would have been fun to laugh at it"
  330. 330.
    >at this point it's almost 4 in the morning
  331. 331.
    >you guys are getting to the point where neither one of you can think straight and every idiotic thing is really funny
  332. 332.
    >finally decide it's time for bed
  333. 333.
    >shut out the lights
  334. 334.
    >end up whispering and making stupid jokes in the dark for another half hour
  335. 335.
    >eventually Scoot starts snoring
  336. 336.
    >loud
  337. 337.
    >you're really tired but you can't fall asleep because of it
  338. 338.
    >plus Scoot's bedsheets are kind of grimy and smell weird
  339. 339.
    >you wonder when was the last time they were washed
  340. 340.
    >finally you climb down off the bunk and rummage around until you find where you put your Walkman
  341. 341.
    >listen to New Kids on the Block until eventually you fall asleep
  342. 342.
     
  343. 343.
     
  344. 344.
    >wake up sometime around 10 in the morning
  345. 345.
    >Scoot is already up, watching Jem on her TV
  346. 346.
    >yawn
  347. 347.
    >your hair is a mess and Scoot's bedsheets still smell funny
  348. 348.
    >ask if you can use the shower
  349. 349.
    >she tells you where it is but keeps her attention focused on the cartoon
  350. 350.
    >unsurprisingly the bathroom is filthy
  351. 351.
    >it has one of those giant old tubs with the claw feet though, which you think is cool
  352. 352.
    >even though it hasn't been cleaned in a really long time
  353. 353.
    >anyway, you start running the shower
  354. 354.
    >one of Scoot's aunts "accidentally" walks in while you're half-naked
  355. 355.
    >after that you make sure the door is locked
  356. 356.
    >anyway, you have your shower
  357. 357.
    >you don't have any clean clothes to wear but at least you don't smell like Scootaloo's funky sheets anymore
  358. 358.
    >go back to Scoot's room
  359. 359.
    >Jem is over, the Snorks are on
  360. 360.
    >watch that with her
  361. 361.
    >during one of the commercial breaks she runs downstairs
  362. 362.
    >comes back with a couple of bowls and a box of Applejacks and some milk
  363. 363.
    >watch cartoons and eat cereal for another couple of hours
  364. 364.
    >eventually the phone rings
  365. 365.
    >the aunt who walked in on you tells you your sister is on the phone
  366. 366.
    >reluctantly go down to the kitchen alone with her
  367. 367.
    >your sister really is on the phone though
  368. 368.
    >wants to know what time you're coming home
  369. 369.
    >subtle implication that she has no intention of driving all the way here to get you
  370. 370.
    >probably not even worth it to ask Big Mac after last night
  371. 371.
    >tell her you're on your way
  372. 372.
    >hang up phone
  373. 373.
    >Scoot's creepy dyko aunt says she's more than happy to give you a ride home
  374. 374.
    >realize you don't have a choice
  375. 375.
    >tell her "uh, sure, thanks"
  376. 376.
    >run back upstairs
  377. 377.
    >Scoot is still watching cartoons in her pajamas
  378. 378.
    >tell her that was your sister, you have to go home now
  379. 379.
    >she obviously is not in the mood to get dressed and shut the TV off
  380. 380.
    >it takes some cajoling but finally you convince her to ride along
  381. 381.
    >15 minutes later, you are both dressed and outside
  382. 382.
    >weird dyko aunt seems a bit disappointed it won't be just you and her, but doesn't say anything
  383. 383.
    >get in the car
  384. 384.
    >she drives this old piece of shit truck from like1935
  385. 385.
    >one bench seat
  386. 386.
    >no seatbelts
  387. 387.
    >only has AM radio
  388. 388.
    >Scoot fiddles with the dials the whole drive over
  389. 389.
    >it's all religious talk stations
  390. 390.
    >finally finds a faint signal where you can kind of hear The Bangles bleeding into a Billy Graham sermon
  391. 391.
    >decides that's probably good enough and sticks with it
  392. 392.
    >she sings along with The Bangles until it fades out completely and all that's left is static and Billy Graham
  393. 393.
    >meanwhile Scoot's creepy aunt keeps staring at your legs, not even trying to hide it
  394. 394.
    >Scoot doesn't even seem to notice, she just keeps jabbering about music and cartoons and some trick she learned on her skateboard
  395. 395.
    >whatever, at least she's the one sitting in the middle
  396. 396.
    >anyway, you drive through the town and then it's like 8 miles to the farm
  397. 397.
    >Scoot's aunt stops at the McDonalds drive through on the way there, which was actually kind of nice of her
  398. 398.
    >it's too late to get breakfast but she buys you each a cheeseburger and a Coke
  399. 399.
     
  400. 400.
     
  401. 401.
    >anyway you arrive at the farm
  402. 402.
    >say goodbye to Scoot and get out
  403. 403.
    >aunt gives you this long, super-cheerful speech about how you're such a nice young lady and you're welcome at their home any time and blah blah blah
  404. 404.
    >she is waaaay too enthusiastic about it and it's creepy
  405. 405.
    >Scoot seems oblivious
  406. 406.
    >you politely say 'thank you' but try not to make any more eye contact than necessary
  407. 407.
    >tell Scoot you'll see her in school on Monday
  408. 408.
    >she is cheerful and energetic, waves goodbye
  409. 409.
    >you give a cheerful smile and wave to her
  410. 410.
    >you watch the truck drive away
  411. 411.
    >pervy aunts notwithstanding, you actually had a really good time last night
  412. 412.
    >you've never really hung out with Scootaloo outside of school before but she's actually pretty fun
  413. 413.
    >maybe you guys can have a sleep-over at your house the next time around
  414. 414.
    >anyway, you're in a good mood
  415. 415.
    >before going into the house you stop by the barn
  416. 416.
    >chores are already mostly done, AJ seems annoyed with you but doesn't chew you out
  417. 417.
    >asks if you had fun at your friend's house
  418. 418.
    >you start to tell her about it and end up gushing like a retard
  419. 419.
    >some of Scoot's "valley speak" has somehow made its way into your vocabulary between last night and this morning
  420. 420.
    >AJ raises an eyebrow at it but doesn't comment
  421. 421.
    >you stop when you realize she's not that interested in the details, she was just being polite
  422. 422.
    >leave her be, head back to the farmhouse
  423. 423.
    >Granny Smith is in the living room
  424. 424.
    >she lectures you about sleeping late, missing chores, slothful behavior and all that
  425. 425.
    >she doesn't seem too mad though
  426. 426.
    >asks if you'd like to sit down and watch Pat Robertson Revival with her
  427. 427.
    "Uh, no thanks Granny, I got...some homework to do."
  428. 428.
    >she lectures you a bit more
  429. 429.
    >sin and the devil and the poisonous youth culture and all that
  430. 430.
    >politely nod like you usually do when she starts going on about this stuff
  431. 431.
    >go up to your room
  432. 432.
    >the photos of Scott Baio and Ralph Macchio and Erik Estrada hanging on your wall are there to greet you
  433. 433.
    >along with the poster of "Them or Us" by Frank Zappa over your bed
  434. 434.
    >you found it in the trash outside of Dairy Queen
  435. 435.
    >you've never heard the album before but you like the cover art
  436. 436.
    >you sit down at your desk and try to do homework because you would feel bad lying to Granny Smith
  437. 437.
    >but you can't really focus on math right now
  438. 438.
    >lie down on your bed, put your headphones on
  439. 439.
    >in your jacket pocket is the new Bryan Adams tape you bought yesterday
  440. 440.
    >in the other pocket is Anon's mixtape
  441. 441.
    >you hesitate
  442. 442.
    >then you pop in Anon's tape
  443. 443.
    >expect to hear "Little Girls" by Oingo Boingo again
  444. 444.
    >but it's actually Bryan Adams
  445. 445.
    >Anon recorded the entire new Bryan Adams album for you
  446. 446.
    >you wish he had just told you this when he gave you the tape
  447. 447.
    >you could have saved yourself $6
  448. 448.
    >but at the same time
  449. 449.
    >it was nice of him
  450. 450.
