🔘─────────── 46:12
ROSIE: it's cute that you think you're not wrong, pete.
PETER: aww, you think i'm cute?
ROSIE: first of all, i said it's cute, as in your dumbass thought process.
PETER: um, ouch?
ROSIE: second of all, we're well past this narrative. i think you already know that i find you pretty. it's basic scientific facts.
PETER: rosie, no offense, but what do you know about science?
ROSIE: that bill nye invented it. duh.
PETER: [laughing] now who's wrong!
ROSIE: hm, still you.
PETER: i am not wrong!
ROSIE: yes you are! imagine thinking parks and rec would be better if mark stayed for longer than two seasons.
PETER: it's just an opinion, roro!
ROSIE: yes, a profoundly incorrect one.
PETER: at least i don't pick the marshmallows out of my lucky charms.
ROSIE: in case you haven't noticed, i'm weird. i'm a weirdo. i don't fit in, and i don't wanna fit in. have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? that's weird.
PETER: when do you ever wear hats?
ROSIE: i can't tell if i should be relieved or shocked that you don't know that quote. maybe a little bit of both.
PETER: [laughs] alright then. so, what are you up to now? going against everything i stand for by picking the marshmallows out of your lucky charms?
ROSIE: oh, pete, you're hilarious! you should be a stand up comedian.
PETER: i think i'm sensing some sarcasm, roro.
ROSIE: probably because i said it sarcastically.
PETER: well, yeah. i guess that could be it.
ROSIE: anyways, i'm just reading tangled the series fan theories.
PETER: that rhymed!
ROSIE: [scoffs] what a nerd.
PETER: you know, nerd culture is mainstream now, so when you use the word nerd derogatorily, that means you're the one that's out of the zeitgeist
ROSIE: okay, you did not just use a ben wyatt quote against me.
PETER: what can i say? you're influencing my speech patterns.
ROSIE: wow, i guess you need a break from talking to me. i don't wanna be corrupting your speech patterns, or whatever.
PETER: uh, definitely not. i like talking to you.
ROSIE: [softly] i like talking to you, too.
PETER: oh... well, cool.
ROSIE: listen, pete, um... there's something i kinda wanna tell you.
PETER: yeah?
ROSIE: yeah. uh, i've been thinking about telling you for a while, but i felt kinda weird about it. but i think telling you would be the best thing to do, so.
PETER: alright... what did you wanna tell me?
ROSIE: okay, well... see, the thing is... [sighing] i really l— [rustling in background]
PETER: what's that noise?
ROSIE: oh, sel just got back.
SEL: sup, bitch! who are you talking to?
ROSIE: oh, just peter.
SEL: of course [laughs] hey, peter!
PETER: hi, sel. what's up?
SEL: i just forgot my violin, so.
ROSIE: do you really need it right now?
SEL: well, i don't know, rosie. call me crazy, but i kinda think having my violin at my violin recital is a necessity, you know?
ROSIE: can we keep the sarcasm to a minimum, selena?
SEL: no can do, rosemary. [door opening in background] later, dorks!
PETER: [laughing] that was a pleasant interaction.
ROSIE: yeah, i don't think the word pleasant really belongs in a conversation about sel.
PETER: fair enough. so, what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?
ROSIE: oh, right. that.
PETER: yeah. that.
ROSIE: uh, well... i was just...
PETER: [hopefully] yeah?
ROSIE: i was just, um... well, i was wondering if you had any good hbo recommendations!
PETER: you— that's what you wanted to talk to me about?
ROSIE: uh, mhm. yup!
PETER: okay... uh, don't take this the wrong way, but... why?
ROSIE: well, i just subscribed to it earlier this morning, and they have so many titles that i'm not in the mood to look through them! i'm not sure where to start, you know?
PETER: [disappointedly] uh, alright. well, i'd love to help, but i don't have an hbo account, so...
ROSIE: oh, well, you should consider subscribing! they have shazam, friends, and all the harry potter movies!
PETER: i thought you said you just subscribed and you haven't looked through all the titles yet?
ROSIE: well, i... you know... i'm just... guessing?
PETER: you're just guessing what's on hbo?
ROSIE: geez, what's with the judgmental tone, pete? didn't they ever teach you about hypotheses in school?
PETER: well, yeah, but i didn't think that applied to streaming services...
ROSIE: oh, um, hypotheses can apply to anything if you put your mind to it!
PETER: rosie, why are you acting so weird?
ROSIE: i'm not acting weird, you're acting weird!
PETER: but i'm not—
ROSIE: uh, i have to go. i have to look through those hbo titles, you know? put my hypothesis to the test!
PETER: but—
ROSIE: alright, cool, talk to you later! bye!
CALL ENDED, 6:41 P.M.
author's note: obviously this was intended to be awkward but it still feels unnecessarily cringey, so i sincerely apologize to anyone who was waiting for an update and instead got stuck with whatever this travesty is!!
also look at the covers friendsgo made!!! they're literally so pretty pls i'm a kassi love bot first, human being second 💘💞💝💗💖
p.s. i think you all know what i'm going to say at this point, but nonetheless here it is again — keep signing petitions, emailing politicians, donating if you're able, and spreading awareness! black lives fucking matter, and that's not something you can remain "neutral" on.
double p.s. please disregard any mention/meme of matthew gray gubler in this fic i can't stand that man and i hope he has a horrible life ❤️
