She looked at him, “Thank you.”
James smiled, “You just can’t seem to stop getting in trouble, I only met you yesterday, and I’ve already saved you twice. How did you ever get by without me?”
Rose laughed, mostly as a stress reliever, “I don’t know, but I think I should stick with you from now on.”
James smiled, “I think that’s probably a good idea.”
Rose’s Birthday; One Year Later
“Happy birthday, Rose!” Smee handed her a clumsily wrapped present. His light blue eyes filling with excitement. They were having a small party down in the galley of the ship. “Go on, open it!”
Rose laughed, “Okay, okay!” She tore the paper and string away to reveal an old pair of socks.
Smee started laughing, “Gotcha!”
Rose laughed, “Good one, Smee!”
She had seen many such gifts, but some sweet ones as well.
Smiley had given her a bowl that he carved, with an angel on the outside, “That’s you!” he said with a giant smile.
Ace had given her a thin leather cord to use to tie her very curly dark hair back.
As she laughed, she locked eyes with James.
Her stomach jumped. Over the last year, she had developed feelings for him. His roguish smile turned her stomach to butterflies, as if she had pixie dust and she was flying. His green eyes sent lightning through her. She also loved how kind he was. He was very gentle with the boys who the pirates rescued. He helped them feel comfortable. Hugging them, being gentle and kind, and offering food.
He gestured that she should join him on the deck, then disappeared up the stairs.
Rose excused herself from the group of loud pirates and made her way up the stairs. When she reached the top, she looked around, and noticed him standing at starboard.
“Hey.”
He turned and gave her that smile that made her heart melt. “Hey.”
“Did you need something?” Rose asked.
“I just wanted to give you your present.” He said, “Close your eyes, and turn around.”
James smiled, “You just can’t seem to stop getting in trouble, I only met you yesterday, and I’ve already saved you twice. How did you ever get by without me?”
Rose laughed, mostly as a stress reliever, “I don’t know, but I think I should stick with you from now on.”

Rose did, and she felt him fasten the chain of a necklace around her neck.
“Keep them closed.” James said.
She heard him walk in front of her.
Then his lips were on hers.
Her eyes opened in astonishment, but she closed them, and wrapped her arms around his neck, and returned the kiss.
He drew back, startled, “I didn’t think you felt the same way about me.”
Rose smiled, “Of course, like you said a year ago, I can’t help falling for you.”
James returned the smile, “and I’ll always catch you.”
He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her once more.
“Keep them closed.” James said.
She heard him walk in front of her.

Later That Night
Rose and James climbed to the crow’s nest. They stared out at the ocean.
Rose took a deep breath of the salty air, “It’s beautiful.”
“You’re beautiful,” James said, staring at her, “And kinda crazy.”
Rose punched him in the arm, “And why is that?”
James winced and rubbed his arm, “Ouch! I just meant you’d have to be to fall for me.”
“Do you remember the first time we were up here together? When I decided to be part of the crew?”
“Hmmm…. No, I forgot, that day was so forgettable, what with you almost dying, and all.”
“I really thought I was going to die that day.”
“Take a closer look at that locket.”
Rose held the circular gold locket in her hands.
“Open it.”
She pried it open with her fingernails. There was a tiny inscription inside.
Rose Whitlock, I James Thatcher, love you forever, and I would give my life for you. I promise, if you fall, I will catch you.
Rose smiled. James held her face in his hands, his thumb rubbing the scar that ran across her right cheek. Then he kissed her, a short, sweet kiss.
And just like on that day, she started crying.
“Oh no, Rose, did I do something wrong? Rose?”
“No, it’s just that this night is so perfect, and I know that it will have to end.”
“Yes, it will have to end, but let’s enjoy it right now.”
So, they did, they sat in the crow’s nest, leaning against each other, watching the stars.
Rose eventually fell asleep, so James let her use his lap as a pillow and took off his coat and placed it over her.
He moved a lock of hair off her forehead and kissed it.
“Goodnight, Rose Whitlock.”
Rose and James climbed to the crow’s nest. They stared out at the ocean.
Rose took a deep breath of the salty air, “It’s beautiful.”

2 Years Later
19-year-old Rose had been with the pirates for three years, and in Neverland for four years. It was Rose’s turn for watch. Wearing a black long sleeve shirt, and a pair of brown pants, she was to watch for any sign of Pan or Lost Boy activity.
Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind, she yelped, grabbed a hand and flipped the attacker over her shoulder.
“Ouch… remind me never to do that ever again.”
“James! I am so sorry!”
“Nope, my fault, good job reacting quickly, if you tried that on Pan, maybe he’d leave for good!”
Rose laughed, and helped her boyfriend up, “If only it were that easy!”
“How’s watch going?”
“Uneventful, why do I always get the boring shifts?”
“It’s because you’re so scary, nothing dares start trouble when you’re on watch.”
“Oh really?”
“Oh, yeah, even I’m scared of you, and I’m in love with you!”
Rose tried to punch James, but he caught her hand, and kissed her knuckles. “You know you love me; you wouldn’t hurt me.”
“Oh yeah? Watch me!” She lunged towards him, he wrapped his arms around her, slung her over his shoulder, and started running around the deck.
“James Henry Thatcher! You’ll regret this!” Rose yelled, laughing.
“Who will make me regret it? You? It seems like you would have a hard time doing that right now.”
“I’ll put cuttlefish in your bed, in the morning! You won’t know they’re there until night, so they’ll have time to get nice and stinky!”
“Ooooh, seems like you need to cool off, Ms. Rose Marie Whitlock!” Said James. Holding on to Rose firmly, he started leaning backward over the water.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“You’re right, I wouldn’t…Oh wait, oh no! I’m losing my balance; I think we’re both about to take a swim. Oh no!”
He deliberately leaned backwards all the way, and they both fell into the water.
When they both surfaced, Rose splashed James with water, “James Thatcher, you are impossible!”
“And yet, you love me!” He laughed, splashing her back.
She splashed back, soon they were in a splashing battle.
“Man overboard!” They heard called from the ship.
They both burst out laughing as the light of Ace’s lantern shone on them.
“Sorry Ace, we decided to go for a swim, would you lower the ladder?” James said, through his laughter.
“Yes, sir!” Ace lowered a rope ladder, Rose and James swam over to it and climbed up to the deck.

They knew they must look crazy, dripping wet, and unable to stop laughing, but they couldn’t stop. Looking at one another made it worse. While Ace stood in front of them looking confused. Which made them laugh even more.
“Ace…would…you…take over…watch…for…Rose please? He said, still laughing.
“Yes sir!”
“Let’s… get…changed.” James wheezed.
Rose was laughing too hard to say anything, so she just nodded, and walked to her cabin, while James went to his.
Rose changed into a cream colored, long sleeved shirt, and grey pants, and elected for no shoes. After wringing out her wet hair, she used a leather cord to tie it up into a bun on top of her head.
When she walked out of her cabin, James wasn’t out of his cabin yet, so she sat on the rail in front of the helm, and waited, shivering a little as droplets from her hair made their way down her back.
“I’m behind you, don’t murder me, please!”
Rose rolled her eyes, and turned to James, who was standing behind her. He was wearing his hair loose, with a loose white shirt, and his usual black pants, he also was barefoot.
“Let’s go to my cabin, I want to talk to you.”
He took her hand, and they walked together. When they reached his cabin, he opened the door for her, and bowed, dramatically. Rose giggled.
She walked through the door, and gasped, his cabin was completely decorated with roses, and there was a candlelit dinner at his desk. She turned to James Thatcher. He walked past her and pulled out a chair.
“Would you like to eat with me?”
Rose smiled, and walked towards him, “Of course, I would love to.”
She sat down, and he pushed the chair in. “So, what’s the occasion?”
“Does there need to be a special occasion for me to do something for you?”
“Fair point, but this is a little much for just a random surprise.”
“Just be patient.” He laughed.
They dined on a roast boar, with sides of cheese, bread, and grapes. When cook brought a dessert of chilled berries with cream, James seemed to get nervous.
“What’s wrong?” Rose asked.
“Remember how I told you I loved you and I would die for you?”
“Ace…would…you…take over…watch…for…Rose please? He said, still laughing.
“Yes sir!”

“Yes.” Rose said, staring at him incredulously.
“I meant that, but…ack, why is this so hard…but what if I told you I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you?”
He got down on one knee, and pulled out a ring with and emerald, the same color as his eyes.
“Rose Marie Whitlock, would you like to become Rose Marie Thatcher? I promise to love you forever, and catch you when you fall, I promise to always take care of you. Will you marry me?”
Rose stared at him, tears filling her eyes, a smile taking over her face, “Yes! Yes! Yes! James Thatcher, I love you, yes!”
He placed the ring on her left ring finger, then he jumped up, buried his hands in her hair and kissed her, as she kissed him, it seemed as if the entire world was focused on that kiss. Then they walked out of the cabin, huge smiles on their faces.
Then James scooped Rose up into his arms, spinning around the deck, both of them laughing. They danced for a while, then climbed up into the crow’s nest and watched the stars. Rose felt she would never be able to sleep. But she did, her head on James’s shoulder, and his head on hers.

The Next Day
Smiley climbed the crow’s nest early in the morning. “I’m so sorry captain, but there’s important news. A lost boy is growing up. Right now, he is picking fruit on Rainbow Cliff. It’s an opportunity that would be a sin to miss.”
Rose and James stood up, “Thank you, Smiley, set sail for Rainbow Cliff, we need the element of surprise, we’ll come up from under him.”
“Yes, sir!”
Rose stretched, “Please tell me last night wasn’t a dream.”
James smiled and kissed her, “Look on your left hand.”
She looked down and saw the emerald ring and felt the same thrill as when he first proposed. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. She was so excited to spend her life with him.
“Now what do you say we go save that little boy, then get married.”
“Today? Moving a little fast, aren’t we?”
James laughed, “I’ve waited three years to marry you, I don’t want to wait any longer.”
“I guess I can’t argue with that reasoning!” Rose laughed, before climbing down the rope ladder.
James shook his head, chuckling, and climbed down after her.
They were sailing swiftly for the cliff. When they were close, James turned to his crew, “We need a volunteer to scale the cliff and grab the child. Is there anyone willing?”
No one stepped forward.
“I will!” Rose said.
James turned to her, “No, Rose that’s unacceptable.”
“Why?”
“Because I can’t lose you, we’re supposed to be married today.”
“We can’t lose anyone. I’m a member of the crew, what right do I have to ask others to risk their lives, but not risk my own. It’s not right!”
“And you think it’s right that you are going against me?”
“I’m not going against you! I’m just trying to save a child’s life. What’s the difference between this mission, and the others you let me go on?”
“On those mission’s I could be with you, to protect you! I can’t if you go on this mission.”
“I don’t need protection! I can take care of myself!”
“Rose, as your captain, my answer is no!”
“Oh, as my captain is it? Really? You’re pulling that card with me? You’re fiancée?”
“I thought you were just like any member of the crew! I guess not, if you don’t follow my orders! The answer is no, and that’s final!”
He stalked off to his cabin, slamming the door.
The crew stared at Rose, as she let out a frustrated scream, and stormed off to her cabin.

She changed her clothes to a blue off the shoulder tunic, and black pants, her boots were also black. She kept her hair in the bun on top of her head, she didn’t bother fixing the curls that had escaped the bun.
When she emerged from her cabin, she took a deep breath, then walked to James’s cabin. Knocking hesitantly on the door.
Quietly she said, “James, we need to talk. Please… I’m going no matter what, but you’re going to regret us not making up before I go. Don’t make me go with us being angry with each other. Please…… I love you.”
His door opened, his eyes were red, he looked at her for a moment, “Rose…Rose, please don’t go, if you get hurt, I’ll never forgive myself.” He enveloped her in an embrace, “I’m sorry.” He said, in a quiet voice in her ear. She wholeheartedly returned the embrace.
“Thank you… I didn’t want to leave with us not made up.” They went into his cabin, and sat on his bed, holding hands. “I’m sorry, I just can’t let anyone go on good conscience, you know I’m the best climber. I’m the only one who could pull off this mission.”
He placed a hand on her face, his thumb brushing against her scar. “Is there anything I could say to change your mind?”
“No, I’m sorry, but this is something that I need to do.”
“He lifted her chin and kissed her gently. “Then I suppose I can’t stop you.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck, and let her fingers get tangled in his long hair, then she kissed him, long and lovingly.
Then she stood, “It’s time to go, I’m sorry, I’ll be right back with the little boy, and then we’ll get married, sound good?” She asked, holding out her hand.
He smiled a brittle smile, took her hand, and stood. “Sounds wonderful to me!”
When they walked out of the cabin, the crew watched them carefully. James took a deep breath, “Rose will be performing the retrieval. Then, after that, prepare for a wedding ceremony, Rose and I are going to be married this afternoon.”
The pirates let out a sigh of relief. Then started preparations. They knew that Rainbow Cliff was a popular spot for lost boys, so a rope was already tied. The pirates lifted a stick and dislodged the rope, it swung down and thudded onto the deck, just in front of the helm. Rose started to walk toward it with purpose.
“Rose, wait!” James cried, grabbing her hand, he swung her around into a kiss, “Rose, please return from this mission, you can’t leave me at the altar.”
Rose placed a hand on his cheek, “I promise.”

Y'all are gonna hate me:
Then she walked to the rope and started climbing. But when she was halfway up, she realized something was wrong. There was a sound like the tinkling of bells.
Oh no.
She looked down to see Tinkerbell laughing. She had tied the rope securely to Rose’s ankle. Rose decided to keep climbing, she couldn’t untie it while climbing. But after she had gone another 30 feet, without warning, Pan lowered to her eye level, laughing.
“Rose! How nice to see you! You look lovely, oh, wait, there seems to be a nasty mark on your face, what happened?” He asked with a nasty grin.
Rose said nothing. Only watched him warily, clinging to the rope.
“What? No words for your old friend? No hello? No Peter it’s nice to see you?”
“I have nothing to say to someone who murders children.” Rose said calmy, even as her insides turned to ice, and a pit filled with dread opened in her stomach.
“I’m disappointed in you Rose, you’re a grown-up now…… Wait, oh this is too good, is that an engagement ring? You’re engaged to a pirate, who’s the unfortunate man? Wait, don’t tell me; it’s the pirate captain isn’t it? Oh, this is perfect!
“You know, Rose, you’re in quite a precarious position here, it would be quite a shame if you just… fell.”
He pulled a dagger out and slashed at her hands.
Rose cried out, and involuntarily let go of the rope.
She started to fall, but then she felt a jarring pain in her ankle, as the rope caught her.
“Thank goodness Tink thought to tie that rope around your ankle!” Pan said, feigning relief, “That fall would kill you for sure! And I’m not done with you yet!”
Rose tried to reach for the rope behind her, so she could pull herself right side up. But Pan darted forward and slashed her palms. Now her hands were covered in blood, they hurt so badly she couldn’t grip the rope.
He tsked, “We can’t have you getting away that easily. I need Captain Thatcher to see you. And I promised you, you would die slowly.” He flew up to her leg and slashed a deep cut in her calf.
“Captain Thatcher! I’m hurting your precious ladylove!” Peter called down.
Then she walked to the rope and started climbing. But when she was halfway up, she realized something was wrong. There was a sound like the tinkling of bells.
Oh no.
She looked down to see Tinkerbell laughing. She had tied the rope securely to Rose’s ankle. Rose decided to keep climbing, she couldn’t untie it while climbing. But after she had gone another 30 feet, without warning, Pan lowered to her eye level, laughing.
“Rose! How nice to see you! You look lovely, oh, wait, there seems to be a nasty mark on your face, what happened?” He asked with a nasty grin.
Rose said nothing. Only watched him warily, clinging to the rope.
“What? No words for your old friend? No hello? No Peter it’s nice to see you?”
“I have nothing to say to someone who murders children.” Rose said calmy, even as her insides turned to ice, and a pit filled with dread opened in her stomach.
“I’m disappointed in you Rose, you’re a grown-up now…… Wait, oh this is too good, is that an engagement ring? You’re engaged to a pirate, who’s the unfortunate man? Wait, don’t tell me; it’s the pirate captain isn’t it? Oh, this is perfect!
“You know, Rose, you’re in quite a precarious position here, it would be quite a shame if you just… fell.”
He pulled a dagger out and slashed at her hands.
Rose cried out, and involuntarily let go of the rope.
She started to fall, but then she felt a jarring pain in her ankle, as the rope caught her.
“Thank goodness Tink thought to tie that rope around your ankle!” Pan said, feigning relief, “That fall would kill you for sure! And I’m not done with you yet!”
Rose tried to reach for the rope behind her, so she could pull herself right side up. But Pan darted forward and slashed her palms. Now her hands were covered in blood, they hurt so badly she couldn’t grip the rope.
He tsked, “We can’t have you getting away that easily. I need Captain Thatcher to see you. And I promised you, you would die slowly.” He flew up to her leg and slashed a deep cut in her calf.
“Captain Thatcher! I’m hurting your precious ladylove!” Peter called down.
From the ship, James was watching the scene from a spyglass. “No, no, no!” He slammed his fist on the rail. He felt so helpless, he couldn’t shoot at Pan for worry of hitting Rose.” But she was getting hurt! This is what he was afraid of! But he couldn’t do anything. Only watch through his spyglass.
Up on the rope, Rose was now covered in cuts. Pan was laughing.
“Maybe you could come back with me! The boys miss you!” Peter said.
“Yeah, and then you’ll gut me in the woods, right?”
Peter shrugged, “I can’t promise anything, after all, you broke the rules, you grew up!”
“Maybe you could come back with me! The boys miss you!” Peter said.
“Yeah, and then you’ll gut me in the woods, right?”
Peter shrugged, “I can’t promise anything, after all, you broke the rules, you grew up!”

“The rules you made up! So, you could kill innocent boys!”
“Wrong! The boys died in tragic accidents. Just like you will be.”
He pressed the knife, wet with Rose’s blood, to the rope, it started to fray, suddenly struggling to hold Rose’s weight.
“Maybe you could go home, stop annoying me! Now there’s an idea!”
“Not a chance!”
“Well, that’s too bad! Goodbye Rose.”
Then Pan slashed the rope.
It seemed to Rose that she fell at hyper speed, and in slow motion at the same time.
As she started to fall, she looked into Pan’s eyes, maybe for an ounce of regret, but she only saw unshielded glee.
She crashed down onto the ship’s deck, boards splintering underneath her, but not completely breaking. She lay there paralyzed, broken, breathing shallowly, dying.
“Rose! No,no,no,no,no,no, Rose, please!” James ran towards her, kneeling next to her.
He cradled her in his arms, “Rose, speak to me! Say something, anything!”
She weakly opened her eyes. She touched his cheek with a bloodied hand.
“I…I…love…you…James Thatcher.”
He put his hand over hers, tears filling his eyes, “I love you too, Rose Whitlock.”
“Please……save……...them.”
She coughed up blood, so much blood.
Then she started convulsing.
“No! Please! Rose, I can’t do this without you! Rose!”
He held her till she fell still.
“Rose, say something, anything, tell me you’ll put cuttlefish in my bed. Tell me you love me. Tell me you hate me, I don’t care, just say something.”
Rose’s blank eyes stared, lifeless. Her lips stayed still, heedless of James’s pleading.
James’s shoulders heaved, as he held the body of the only girl he ever loved, the girl he was supposed to marry that day. The girl he failed to catch when she fell. The girl who now lay dead in his arms.
James threw his head back and let out a scream as if his soul were being torn from his body. And it had been, Rose had been his heart and soul. Now she was gone.
He stayed there for a long time, sobbing, cradling Rose’s body. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry Rose, I should have caught you, I promised to catch you.”
Eventually, his sobs quieted, he closed her eyes, and gently, lovingly lay her down on the deck.
Then he turned to face his crew. They stood frozen with shock, trying to comprehend the horror that had unfolded in front of them.
“She……. I……. her last wish was for us to continue in the mission, we will honor that wish. Now we do it for Rose.”
He looked up to see Pan observing the scene.
“And I promise, I will not rest until Pan is dead.”
The End

You knew you weren’t kidding yourself…and yet…you couldn’t help but wonder. Were you just telling yourself you liked her?
Was it real?
The only certainty was that she would never feel the same way about you.
And so, you helped her with her guy problems.
You agreed that all guys were jerks, then the next day listened to her talk about how sweet her newest crush was.
You held her hand in debate rounds.
You cuddled with her while watching a movie, all alone on her couch in the dark.
You borrowed her shirts, and vice versa.
You always told her she looked good, especially when she tried something new.
You baked with her.
You went shopping with her.
You told her almost everything, with this being the exception.
You lent her books.
She helped you when you were having a breakdown.
You held her board for her so she could practice kicks.
You watched her staff form over and over again.
You endured her suggesting guys you could date.
She told you she loved you.
You said it back.
You walked to the store with her.
You’re pretty sure people thought you were a couple.
You walked in the rain with her.
You snuck out of the house with her.
You listened to music together.
You shared drinks, and food, and one time, a mask, but that’s a long story.
You tell her about your stresses, but not the only real important one, and your successes, though the one you wanted most you hid.
She taught you.
You taught her.
You went to Six Flags together.
You told an employee to “surprise us” and got a weird mix of soft drinks.
You, laughing, told her if you died on that rollercoaster, she should know you loved her.
You laugh a lot when you’re around her.
You share inside jokes.
You realize you don’t need inside jokes. Your relationship goes deeper than that.
She leans on you when she could have chosen anyone else.
She teases you.
You tease back, sometimes, but you hate the thought of her taking it the wrong way, and goodness knows she needs no more insecurities.
You assure her you’re fine.
You listen to her tell the same stories you’ve heard so many times before.
You dance together.
You sing together.
You listen to her tell you that she is and always will be
Entirely
Completely
Straight.
You cry when she isn’t looking at you.
She tells you she’s never seen you cry. You’re good at hiding.
She crushes on your brother.
You want her to be crushing on you.
You both lament your lack of first kisses, even at ages 14 and 15.
You wonder what it would be like to kiss her…
You’re lonely.
You begin to wish, at 11:11 pm, as is proper, for somebody else to love.
You wish to forget her.
You wish for things to be as they were before you realized just what she was to you.
You tell her you might like a guy, but you’re going to let it sit for a while.
You don’t like him.
And you give up.
You never tell her about your feelings.
And then you sit down and write this.

Once upon a time, there was a nerdy girl, named Mel. She was always a very quiet kid in elementray school, so while she did have friends, they were not the very closest of friends. In middle school, she switches to the other part of the district, and there she meets so many friends that bring out her amazing and weird personality, and she would trust all of those friends with her life. About three months in, she develops a crush on a guy. Her and the guy eventually become friends, and even though he knows that she likes him, he doesn't like anybody, and so they stay friends. In december of 7th grade, the girl realizes something about herself. She's Bi! she figured it out when she realized she had a crush on one of her best friends. Said best friend was dating a guy, but he was kinda toxic, and eventually they break up, near the end of february. The guy says one thing before they break up. "I don't care who you date, as long as you don't date girls." By now this best friend knows i like her, and so the next day, i ask her out (MEGA CRINGE but anyways), she says yes and we start dating. I tell my sis and she's happy for me. Unfortuanately for me and my happily ever after, she also tends to not think before she speaks, so later in the car, she asks me very loudly in front of my mom, "So, are you going to tell her?" "NO, {sis}, I wasn't going to tell her." then my mom asks what, and i couldnt think of a lie quickly enough, so she finds out. Both my parents are homophobic, so uh, i had to move schools, and slowly lost touch with all my friends, except one, a different one not mentioned in the story. Happily never after.

I looked up. I had arrived at the beautiful shimmering castle. The white, blinding lights greeted me as I entered. Shamens in blue aprons introduced me to their master. One in particular, by the name of “phil” caught my eye. He was a BABE. he told me the palace was called krõgër. Phils oversized eyes stared at me through his inch thick glasses. We met gazes. He made a move forward... so did I. While I was swooping in though, I noticed another hawt thang. Póptàrts. What a name. I stepped over the dirty tile, a sign of how weathered and old the palace was. I couldnt choose between them... poptarts and I met gazes... his crunchy, hard outside protected his soft sweet inside... the suit of silver he was wearing, was so fine, I stopped breathing for a minute. I swept his frosting. I cant choose.. PART TWO. forced to chose between these babes, I went home and turned on netflix. *sigh* I CANT CHOSE OH MY GAWDNESS. HELP MEEEEEEEEE. PHIL IS SOOOO HOT. BUT POPTART IS CALLING MY NAME WITH THOSE EYES. those eyes I tell you. *corny romance song plays* im inviting both the guys over...I heard a knock at my door.. I opened it to see phil. Well, see his bald head. Hes really short. “Hey phil”, I said. Wheres poptart? “OH THAT OTHER GUY”, said phil.”HE WENT WELL WITH MY GRUBHUB. *gasp* gasp* gasp* phil.... HOW COULD YOU.... PHILLLLLLLLLLL.
