Daphne

You’re all invited to a barbecue at my house this weekend. Rules of conduct to follow.

Mellie

We’ll be there, but why the fuck do we need rules?

Daphne

Because I know you.

Mellie

Set one person’s hair on fire and suddenly you’re in time out.

Lacey

We all know it’s been more than one.

Mellie

Nope, just one.

Kai

If you’re only counting this month, sure.

Mellie

…

Maverick

*screenshot of him adding $200 to the bail fund*

Mellie

Much appreciated, big brother. Keep it coming.

Maverick

We could afford an alpaca farm if you kept yourself out of trouble.

Mellie

Alpacas spit.

Maverick

I’m pretty sure that’s llamas.

Mellie

I’m pretty sure anything related to camels spit, Mav. The internet said so.

Lacey

Can we focus? Daphne’s going to let us meet her pack.

Daphne

They’re not the only ones you’re going to meet.

Mellie

Please let it be a hot mechanic. I’ve got a thing for blue collar guys.

Lacey, Kai and Daphne

We know.

Daphne

You cannot breathe a word of this to anyone. She takes her privacy SO seriously.

Lacey

Uh, hello. Anonymous audio erotica star over here. Big fan of privacy.

Daphne

Travina Bellencourt and her pack are coming.

*Five minutes of silence*

Daphne

Um, hello?

Maverick

Sorry. Mellie screamed. When she didn’t answer, Kai broke the door down.

Everyone’s fine, but the neighbor heard. He didn’t care, but I had to talk his friend out of calling the cops.

Mellie

I AM NOT OKAY. TRAVINA FUCKING BELLENCOURT IS COMING TO DINNER AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO WEAAARRRRRRRR.

Daphne

Might I suggest clothes?

Mellie

Fuck you, Daph. This is serious.

Daphne

Yes, I know. I just spent an entire afternoon with her.

She just wants to be normal. Have friends. I think we could be good for her.

Kai

Or corrupt her until her pack blames us for their misfortune.

Mellie

I’m down with whatever.

Lacey

You really think she’s lonely?

Daphne

Definitely.

Lacey

Then we’ll be on our best behavior. Right, Mellie?

*Silence*

Kai

If you don’t stop screaming, I’m going to kick down every fucking door in your place.

Maverick

*puts more money in the bail fund* We’re going to need this.
