[WADDLES NO!!!! DID ALL THOSE PATS MEAN NOTHING!!!]

No way! I'm not losing twice in one night!

Wait, twice? What do you mean, twice?

[ she is still keeping a tight grip on the sweater over his face/her legs over his shoulders, but only to keep it steady. ]

[Quiet for a moment, and then, loud and incredulous;]

THE TRIAL??
[WE GOT IT WRONG!!]

Do you concede that you lost the vibe check to me?!

[He struggles for another minute but then just. Goes limp.]

Fine. Whatever.

[ mabel immediately lets go and removes the sweater from his face. then she scrambles around and shoos waddles off so that she can lay herself down on top of him instead--but this time not in an attack, but a hug. ]

I'm sorry!

[DJFKJDFKkjKF He sputters pretty much the same way as when she attacked him???]

Wh-what are you doing!?

I'm just so happy you didn't get voted for!

[ she squeezes the hug tighter. this is not supposed to be an attack, but it doesn't feel much different from what she was doing thirty seconds ago. ]

[HE IS TURNING RED??? MA'AM??]

I-I didn't-You're crushing me, you idiot!
[He does not know how else to react to this.]

[ she does not let up. ]

I really, really, really didn't want it to be you!

[HELP]

Why do you care so much!?

Because I like you! You're nice and you're my friend!

[??????????????????????]

I am??
[He's not offended he's just confused???]

Of course you are, silly! [ we upended an entire classroom and had a mental breakdown together, that's ride or die territory ] Did you think we weren't?
