The Paperback Theater

Michael sighed. "Dude it's okay. Don't sweat it."

Charlie curled up on the seat and pulled her hood up. She shifted herself to be more comfortable and closed her eyes.

"I really need to learn how to be a normal human," he said with a laugh, picking up a slice of his cheese pizza and nibbling on the crust.

Charlie grunted in agreement and began to doze off, somewhat forgetting about her food.

"I'm craving a soda. Anybody else craving soda?" He asked, already getting up to go order one.

"Now that you mention it, I'm gonna need another milkshake." Michael looked down at his current one, which was somehow almost empty

"Umm, s-sure" said Charlie, giving up on trying to nap and sat up, hovering over her half-eaten pizza.

"Cool, I'll get you one. What flavor?" Asura asked over his shoulder.

"Mint chocolate chip please!"

He got a mint chocolate chip for Michael, and a sprite for himself. When he sat down, he realized that the milkshake didn't look like mint chocolate chip… at all.

(Jensen what did you do to my milkshake)

"Wh-what is that??" Charlie lightly hissed, noticing the ?milkshake?

Michael frowned at it. "Dude, I said mint chocolate chip, not mint chocolate death."

"Is it chocolate or something? I mean chocolate's okay, but that doesn't look quite like chocolate."

"I really hope that isn't what I think it is. I really really hope that it is chocolate." Charlie worried aloud, noticing her stutter was decreasing the more comfortable she was with the people around her.

Michael chuckled. "What do you think it is?"

"A ground-d up turd." Charlie wrinkled her nose in disgust and pulled on the drawstrings of her hoodie to enclose her face enough to cover her eyes.

Michael violently snorted before cracking up and laughing against the wall

Charlie began to laugh after she heard Michael snort. "Guys guys it-t really wasn't th-hat funny…."

He continued to laugh, leaning against the wall next to their booth

Jensen snickered, trying not to burst into laughter. "I'm sorry dude… but… you gonna taste it to see if you can figure out what it is?"

(babe aren't you Asura?)

Michael shrugged. "Well, it'll either be chocolate or death. Might as well find out!" He took a sip, and was surprised to find that it tasted okay. "Dude it's like a super chocolatey fudge brownie, or chocolate cheesecake or something."

(whoops I meant Asura but I was looking at my username)

Asura's eyes lit up. "Dude, they have that here? I want one."

"Ha. Yeah… Asura..?" Charlie hesitated, "Can you get me one too please?" She pushed her hood off to reveal really fluffed-up hair.
