Carson: Feel like being the best big sis in the world and taking us into Pigeon Creek, Zee?

Zee: You have a truck.

Colby: We HAD a truck

Zee: What did you do to it?

Calder: Technically, Colby and I did nothing.

Colby: We’re the innocent, injured parties.

Zee: Why don’t I believe you?

Carson: Because you’re a wise woman

Carson: Who doesn’t believe slanderous lies.

Zee: Don’t lay it on too thick, Carson lol. What happened?

Calder: Carson decided to use deodorant on our serpentine belt

Zee: You’re using English words but it’s not the same language as mine.

Zee: Huh?

Calder: Our serpentine belt was squeaking.

Colby: Carson saw a video online that said if you rub deodorant on it, the squeak will stop.

Zee: O.o

Colby: That is an accurate representation of our faces, Zee.

Colby: Especially as we only just got it back. Dumbass decided to do his magic trick that same night!

Carson: Long story short, we don’t have a truck anymore.

Colby: And we learned a hard lesson that not every hack on the internet works lol

Calder: No. No ‘lol,’ Colby. This isn’t funny. We have to catch the bus again for school.

Carson: Ugh

Zee: Want me to ask Colton to have a look at it?

Colby: Nah. Don’t waste his time.

Zee: I’m sure it wouldn’t be the highlight of his day, lol, but he’s kind and appears to be good with his hands

Calder: Ewwww

Zee: Calder! I didn’t mean in that way.

Carson: Damn, sis. Need me to talk to him? Mano a mano?

Zee: NO! And that doesn’t mean what you think it does.

Zee: I’ve seen him fixing a tractor is all I was saying. Jeez, you guys.

Colby: You could do that and we could thank him, but you could also take us into Pigeon Creek…

Zee: When I say I’d prefer to stick pins in my eyes…

Colby: No fun

Zee: Which part of being treated like Quasimodo would make you think I want to spend any time in town?

Carson: But we’re your STRANDED baby brothers

Zee: And?

Calder: Heartless woman.

Zee: In this, definitely. I’ll tell Colt to come over and help you guys out.

Calder: No!

Zee: Why not?

Calder: He’d learn that we broke it twice.

Zee: Huh?

Calder: Colt’s already bailed it out of the garage after we paid to have it fixed.

Colby: And he was big on being responsible the last time.

Zee: Clearly, he was asking for too much.

Zee: You’re enjoying hanging out with him?

Colby: Sometimes. He teaches us how to do stuff.

Zee: Like?

Colby: He taught us how to shoot.

Calder: That was cool as shit

Carson: Is shit cool?

Calder: When it’s not fresh from the source, yup.

Zee: *shudders*

Zee: What else?

Colby: Taught us how to fix a fence post properly. That was boring but we’d been doing it wrong.

Carson: Colby didn’t listen though, so Colt had to teach us how to wrangle forty head of cattle back to where they were supposed to be.

Calder: So, please don’t tell him about the serpentine belt, sis? He already thinks we’re morons and we’re trying to impress him.

Zee: Why?

Calder: We want a raise.

Carson: And it’s not looking good, what with him bailing us out already with the truck once this month.

Zee: No, I can see your problem.

Carson: So, can you?

Zee: Can I… what?

Carson: Give us a ride into town.

Zee: Nope. You’ll have to save up to get it fixed. This is obviously a teaching moment and I’m not interfering lol.

Calder: What do we do in the meantime? This is so unfair. Carson’s the idiot! But we’re all getting punished.

Zee: I’m sure there’s some girl whose good nature you can abuse who’ll give you a ride

Calder: Ouch!

Carson: A stunning indictment of our characters

Zee: Am I wrong?

Colby: Tracy would give us a ride if you called her, Carson

Carson: NO WAY. She’s clingier than a jellyfish and her sting is twice as hard.

Zee: There you go. Call Tracy

Carson: Didn’t you read what I said?

Zee: You’re speaking that language again. The one I don’t use…

Colby: Who’s going to tell Colt?

Calder: I will. Carson almost shot him and you caught him in the lasso. That means he owes me a favor.

Zee: Your logic is terrifying.

Calder: ^^
