I stole 'em from Zoë, obviously
Niko
She's never getting those back, is she?
August
Nope!
[August laughed, popping the P at the end]
Niko
You look good, Auggie. You sound cheery today.
August
I'm a whole year older today, baby! I have... matured.
[She pronounced the word matured as 'mah—tour-ed". Niko chuckled, shaking his head]
Niko
Sure, you've been 26 for over 24 hours officially. But I don't buy it. What's got you in such a good mood?
[August grinned excitedly and flopped on the still unmade bed]
August
I forgive you, by the way.
Niko
What? What did I do?
August
You told Taylor my deepest darkest secret.
Niko
The day you were born on?
August
Yes!
Niko
Well, darn! I'm sorry! Thank you for forgiving me!
August
Yeah, you're welcome!
Niko
Right... what did she get you?
[Niko caught on, slowly smirking and raising his eyebrows questioningly]
August
Hold on a second, I'll play it for you.
Niko
Huh?
[Niko waited as August pulled her laptop out and opened the saved mp3 file Taylor had given her last night]
August
Listen to this...
Niko
Oh my fucking gosh, August, is that you singing? That's you— oh my shit, this is fucking insane! It's so well produced too— I'm losing my mind. Wait, are you releasing this? OH MY GOD YOU LITTLE SHIT, ARE YOU RELEASING YOUR FIRST SINGLE?
August
No, I don't think so. But, yeah, I am thinking of writing an album. I already have the whole, big idea. I just need to find someone to work w—
Niko
SHUT UP, THAT'S TAYLOR SINGING, ISN'T IT? BITCH, YOU RECORDED A WHOLE ASS DUET WITH TAYLOR AND DIDN'T TELL ME?
August
... I'm sorry?
Niko
NO, APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED. AUGUST! THIS IS INSANE! I'M SO FUCKING PROUD OF YOU!
August
Thank you!
[August laughed hard in joy as Niko bopped his head excitedly to the beat of the song]
