Wow. Introducing pop culture requirements to your friendship standards now? You've really let this new job change you, Harrington.
Hey, be nice, please. He's not trying to be rude, you know.
It's wild thinking about how she's helped us so significantly, knowing the chances of meeting her are so slim. Unless she heads to Hawkins to visit Dusty Bun.
Oh! Wow, I see. That's so charitable of you, thank you. But that obviously means I'll have to watch Fast Times sometime soon. We can't have anyone accusing you of favoritism, right?
Thank you. c:
Hm. I think that depends on how they frame the reason for her trip. Would they let her visit another state to spend time with her boyfriend? Probably not. Would they let her visit another state because one of her Camp Know Where counselors invited her to take part in a sort of... week long STEM student ambassador program? Absolutely.
[ ... stop just repeating everything he says, loser!!!! ]
But now I'm curious... does Indiana Jones still have a top spot?
Hey. No. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if Dustin did ever express that he wishes there was a way to convince Suzie's parents to let her visit, it wouldn't be a completely unachievable goal. Although really, convincing him to visit her instead would be ideal. I don't actually love the thought of another kid getting dragged into everything Hawkins has to offer.
[ it's fine, nancy's having an "uhh" moment too, considering she already had sounds good to me. it's a da typed out before he sent that correction. deletedeletedelete. ]
I'm actually not sure I know what you mean... Could you clarify?
Kidding. It's a not-a-date date. If that's what you prefer.
[ she's feeling a little #bold, apparently. ]
Too bad there's no chance of being able to convince Dustin to visit her either. Although there is a chance he'll still go to camp, at least. I know his mom wants him to go... And he can bring my brother with him. And Lucas, and Will.
( god. she nearly gave him a heart attack with that first text. the fact that he wrote date-date is already mortifying, without having to explain what the fuck he's talking about. as if he ever has a clue. )
[ nancy has an instant-impulse response at the ready, but she stops herself to think for like, 10 seconds, to make sure it's the right kind of instant-impulse. luckily it is. ]
I don't think it is, actually.
[ she frowns at herself, reading it back, because she does't think. she knows. she needs to get better at owning things like that.]
Not to say I would prefer that we strictly define it as a date-date instead, but... establishing that it's specifically NOT a date-date? Definitely not what I prefer, no.
But it's also totally okay if we do keep it as strictly not-a-date date, too! So.
Oh, always. I can't remember the last time I went a full day without one of them doing or saying something that drove me nuts. But no, I just like the thought of them spending three totally normal, nerdy weeks together this summer, far away from Hawkins.
( oh. well. steve has his own instant-impulse response at the ready, but he stops and considers it too. just to make sure it's the right kind. and he's not sure if it is, but it feels like it is. and that counts for something, right? )
then it's a date we can figure out what kind later
but i get it and hey, if it means they're out of your hair for a little while added bonus, right?

i just let you skate by until now
but fine. fine! i'll be nice
only because you said please
aren't suzie's parents like, super religious or whatever?
do you think they'd let her come all the way out here?
no subject
But that obviously means I'll have to watch Fast Times sometime soon. We can't have anyone accusing you of favoritism, right?

if you want
( totally casual. ahem. moving on. )
is that an actual thing?
no subject
[ .....she was definitely already smiling at her phone like this before he sent that text, right? ... yeah. totally! ]
I mean, it definitely seems like a movie that would be way more fun to watch with someone than watching it alone, so
Yeah! Sure.
If you want to.
And it's not an actual thing. But it sure sounds like an actual thing, right?
no subject
it's one of my top three favorite movies
( and that's the only reason he'd agree to it. nothing to do with wanting to have a movie night with nancy. nope. )
oh so you'd want to lie to suzie's parents

no subject
so, it's a date?
( uhh. )
not like a date-date
you know what i mean
( smooth, harrington. anyway, let's talk about suzie and dustin! )
that's a good point
we really shouldn't be encouraging anyone to come here

what, are the little shitheads driving you crazy?
