Time: Friday Night[/sub][/center][hr][indent][indent]A Double’s night had been long, and not really in the good way. His girlfriend had made him stand in the arcade and eat pizza and watch her play games all night. Now, that wasn’t a [i]bad[/i] thing, by any means, but he’d been hoping for… something more? After all, it was basically their first [i]real[/i] date! Ever since they’d hooked up at the New Year’s party, they hadn’t exactly ‘gone out,’ and then the one time they did, Q got super competitive! Oh well, at least he’d calmed her down, and there would always be a next time!

The important thing was that A Double was peacefully asleep, listening to an audiobook in his ears. A Double wasn’t a very good reader, but he liked to listen to books! He thought it was pretty cool that you could just listen to someone else read to you, and it helped him sleep, so it was pretty common for him to fall asleep listening to a book. Right now, he was listening to Jurassic Park! It was complex, but he liked the parts about the dinosaurs…

A Double had never heard such loud noise before, and couldn’t remember the last time he’d waken up so…. so [i]disoriented. [/i]And A Double went to bed stoned out of his mind most nights! What was happening? He slapped around wildly for his phone, and he couldn’t find it. Tiredly, blindly, A Double pulled his headphone cord, and dragged his phone to himself from the depths of his blankets and stared at it. A phone call…

[i]Elsewhere….[/i]

Mason was hungry. Not like, [i]too[/i] hungry, mind you, but hungry enough. He could eat. What could he eat, that was the real question. Well, the answer to that question [i]typically[/i] was ‘whatever the fuck I want,’ but when [i]wasn’t[/i] that hte answer to a question he asked. It didn’t matter that it was 2:28 A.M., bro was hungry, and bro was gonna eat. Scrolling through his phone and looking at the places he could go, Mason realized that he lacked the most important part of any good meal.

A conversation partner. It didn’t really matter where he went, if he didn’t have that key part! That left Mason with the hardest task of his day so far: figuring out who would be down to go out this late at night… Luckily, he didn’t have to scroll through ihs contacts very far before he found his target:

[b][color=#17aa99]A “A Dubs” “Double A” “A Double” “Battery Man” Double[/color][/b]

Mason decided that he already knew A Double would come along, and before he even called, Mason was in the car and on his way to Dreamland. It wasn’t like the dude was going to say no! There was no way, he loved food! Once he was parked in front of the house, he tapped the name on his phone, and waited…

[b][color=#17aa99]“Uh… hello? Mason…? It’s like two in the morning.” [/color][/b]The voice that came through his Bluetooth speakers was much more tired than he expected, but Mason would not be deterred.

[b][color=#08a5dd]“What’s up, brother, whatchya doin’?” [/color][/b]Mason asked, snapping his gum into the mic, waiting for a response. It didn’t come, at first there was a sort of… awkward silence. Mason waited though, his mother had taught him long ago that conversations were turn based, much like Pokémon, and sometimes it took the other person a while to respond.

[b][color=#17aa99]“I’m… I’m sleeping, man… Shouldn’t you be sleeping? It’s uhm… it’s two in the morning…”[/color][/b]

The point was reiterated, but Mason just shook his head at his phone, [b][color=#08a5dd]“no way, homie. I’ll sleep when I’m dead. I only got so much time on this earth, and I ain’t wastin’ it sleepin’. Now get out here and let’s rock and roll, champ. I’m already here. Taco Bell, let’s go!”[/color][/b]

[b][color=#17aa99]“Taco Bell? I don’t want Taco Be—”[/color][/b]

Mason was prepared for this. [b][color=#08a5dd]“They got Nacho Fries back.”[/color][/b]

Another few seconds of dead air. [b][color=#17aa99]“I’ll be down in a second….”[/color][/b]

[b][color=#08a5dd]“Yeah, I bet you will.” [/color][/b][i]Click.[/i]

In a matter of minutes, A Double was down and in the car with Mason, who was then driving them into the city. As soon as they started rolling though, A Double rested his head against the window and decided he’d try and get some rest. At least, that was his plan until Mason rolled the window down on him, and A Double’s head rolled into the cold breeze, snapping him awake. [b][color=#17aa99]“Wha… wha?” [/color][/b]Was all he could manage to say, staring at Mason, with wide eyes. It was a total betrayal.

[b][color=#08a5dd]“Hell nah, bro, you ain’t going to sleep while I gotta be awake and drive your ass to get Taco Bell. Tell me about your day, brother. What’s new in your life, champ?” [/color][/b]Mason was gonna be [i]that[/i] guy, whether A Double liked it or not. He wanted the food, didn’t he! Then this was the price he was going to have to pay. A Double groaned but tiredly spoke, in sleepy tones that were groggy and damn near unintelligible.

[b][color=#17aa99]“Uhm… gottagirl friend.” [/color][/b]He said, trying to talk about the biggest thing in his life. It really was this whole girlfriend thing. It was different, and weird and confusing, but it was the biggest new thing in his life! Plus, more importantly, it made him happy. [b][color=#17aa99]“Rose kiss… Henry. Weird.” [/color][/b]A Double muttered, rubbing his eyes. That about covered all the bases right? [b][color=#17aa99]“Oh, Wyatt went on a… date tonight. I’m tired, man.”[/color][/b]

[b][color=#08a5dd]“I know you got a girlfriend, bro, I’m not [i]that[/i] blind, homie. Now, this thing about Rose kissing Henry, and Wyatt going on a date? That’s news, brother. That’s the kind of thing I pick you up for, you know? That’s why I talk to you, brother. Because you’re my in. You’re the link to the people for me, Mason.” [/color][/b]A Double looked over at Mason as they pulled into the drive through.

[b][color=#17aa99]“Do you like… want something, man?”[/color][/b]

[b][color=#08a5dd]“That’s correct. I need that Jax dude to run a camera, and to use the super ramp.”[/color][/b]

[b][color=#17aa99]“...when? You gonna pay for my food?”[/color][/b]

[b][color=#08a5dd]“Tomorrow, early, and yes.”[/color][/b]

[b][color=#17aa99]“Alright, dude, whatever…” [/color][/b]A Double yawned, pulling out his phone and shooting Jax a text.
