6. Small Talk

N: Ok, carry on.

Jeremiah: Wait. I thought…

N: You thought? The events would all have drastic outcomes? Well we could call that event drastic for one of us.

George: Hah

Lisa: Give it a rest, George.

George: Yes ma'am.

Jeremiah: I… I…

N: Do you want me to erase their memories?

Jeremiah: You can do that?

N: Yes I can

Jeremiah: Do it

N: No. Goodbye.

Jeremiah: Ok guys. Not a word about that again.

Aaron: Sure thing, bro.

George: Under one condition.

Jeremiah: What?

George: Dance for us

Lisa: Hahahahah

Jeremiah: I'm not doing that. You know what, just do whatever you want.

George: Relax, I'm just kidding. You're too tense, man.

Lisa: So who do you think will be next?

Aaron: I hope it's not me. I remember something now and I don't want any of you to see it.

Lisa: Hmmm what is it?

𝘼𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.

Aaron: It's a secret.

Lisa: It must be something really funny. Oh Lord, please show it to us!

George: Hallelujah!

Jeremiah: Amen

Aaron: Even you, Jeremiah?

Jeremiah: I can't be the only one that suffers that kind of humiliation. Speaking of which, I remember something too but it's really irrelevant. Maybe the memories this time aren't important?

Lisa: Hmm yeah. I remember going to the gas station. That doesn't sound very exciting.

Aaron: I remember getting dressed for a date with someone.

George: Oooh, Ladies man? You have a cute face too

Aaron: Stop it.

Lisa: Awwww, that's so cute. Say it again.

Jeremiah: That's enough, guys. Let's get moving.

George: Ok Jeremiah. Do you guys remember how old you were?

Jeremiah: Why are you bringing this up now?

George: Small talk for the road

Aaron: I am 22.

Lisa: 23.

George: 25 here. I am actually surprised we all know our ages and never said anything.

Jeremiah: 24.

George: So I'm the oldest here and Aaron is our little bro.

Lisa: Don't think this gives you any form of superiority here.

George: I know. It's not like age matters here. You matter to me though.

Lisa: …

Aaron: ...

Jeremiah: ...

Lisa: You want me to poke your eyes out?

George: If it makes you happy.

Lisa: Ok stay still.

Aaron: You guys actually look like a really cute couple.

Lisa: Huh?? Maybe I should poke yours out instead

Aaron: Ahh. Jerry, help me

George: Yeah he is definitely the youngest one here.

Jeremiah: Sighs. Aaron, I want to ask you something.

Aaron: What?

Jeremiah: Did I really look that bad on stage?

Aaron: Yes.

Jeremiah: I don't know why I expected a better response.

Aaron: But it's okay. We all have our embarrassing moments. Some worse than others

Jeremiah: What's yours?

Aaron: Don't tell anyone, ok?

Jeremiah: Sure

Aaron: I don't know why I'm telling to this but... I almost got killed by an old lady

Jeremiah: …

Aaron: …

George: What's going on over there?

Jeremiah: Haha… it's nothing, don't worry about it.

Aaron: Shhh

Lisa: Keeping secrets, are we?

Jeremiah: I am probably going to be the last one to keep important info to myself. It's nothing really

Lisa: Hmm… Hey! Who said you could look up? Staring at my boobs?

George: I'd never… ACK!

Aaron: You guys really are cute.

Aaron: AHH!

Jeremiah: So you're interested in Lisa?

George: What makes you think that?

Jeremiah: It's a no brainer bro

George: I wouldn't call it love. Feelings like that have no meaning here. Just think of it like a way to have fun while we wait for what awaits us. She doesn't like me for some reason and I'm just trying to stop the hate to get any worse.

Jeremiah: You never know what skeletons she has in her closet. You sure you won't regret this?

George: It doesn't matter, remember? We already promised to not let that interfere with us now. It's all in the past.

Jeremiah: True talk. Really hope we see what's in your head next.

George: I'm a simple man.

Jeremiah: That's what you think.

Aaron: Oh guys. Look, it's another door.

Jeremiah: Wait. I have been wishing to tell you guys something. It's about the talent show.

Aaron: Huh?

Lisa: What's it?

Jeremiah: I…
