______________________________
Eleanor: It's still early
Dash: Are you sure you want to do that? You know once you do this, there’s no turning back.
Eleanor: Afraid big guy?
Eleanor: It's just an audition
Dash: One that will take up like 80% of your time.
Eleanor: I'd get to see you more tho
Dash: You know thats not why im worried
Eleanor: I need an after school activity Dash we both know this
Dash: Yeah but the whole hero thing
Eleanor: You know I'm not the only protector of Amity
Dash: Yeah but still
Eleanor: Okay confess
Eleanor: What is the real reason you are so worried.
Dash: No idea what you are talking about
Eleanor: Yes you do. You wouldn't be so insistent if Phantom was what you were worried about. This would honestly be the perfect cover given that Paulina is the captain.
Eleanor: Wait
Dash: Hm?
Eleanor: Is Paulina who you are worried about?
Dash: NO!
Eleanor: OMG SHE IS
Dash: Okay but can you blame me?
Eleanor: That she would bully me or something?
Dash: No, she knows just like I do. Its just the thought of you two teaming up
Eleanor: You are joking
Dash: No?
Eleanor: Omg this is hilarious
Dash: You are giggling in class aren't you
Eleanor: Its Calculus. I'm bored so yeah this just made my day.
Dash: Calculus and Bored shouldn't be next to each other
Eleanor: Well you decided to date the nerd so suck it up
Dash: You are cruel
Eleanor: You love me
Dash: Yeah
Eleanor: So. Me and Paulina getting along is your worst fear.
Dash: Please let that go
Eleanor: Nah nah lets go back to that actually
Eleanor: You forget I also dated her too right?
Dash: But that was pre transition. That wouldn't count
Eleanor: Oh it absolutely does sir! Not only do I have her phone number already but she gives me makeup tips.
Dash: Wait what
Eleanor: Yes! Girls night was every Saturday sophomore year
Dash: The unknown nail set was you?!
Eleanor: Whooo what are you talking about?
Dash: Lina used to spam her story with pictures of those get together but there was always an extra set of hands
Eleanor: Stalking her page?
Dash: Well she was blowing up my phone when were together
Eleanor: Fair enough. You noticed it was me now damn
Dash: Well you are the only one pale enough now that I think about it? I just never thought you two would hang out
Eleanor: Everyone gets over the shit freshmen phase at some point Baxter
Dash: Yeah yea
Eleanor: Plus once you get over the weird social norms you realize there are some really cool people outside your friend group
Eleanor: Aka me and Sam
Dash: Honestly I thought it was Manson giving you tips
Eleanor: You think the girl in heavy makeup is giving me natural makeup tips?
Dash: Hey I don't everything about makeup
Eleanor: but you do know a lot about nails apparently
Dash: I shouldn't have told you about that
Eleanor: You were just saying stuff by that point big guy thats all you
Dash: We have severely derailed from the original topic
Eleanor: Right your fear of your girlfriend and ex being friends
Dash: NO
Dash: The audition for cheerleading
Eleanor: That too I guess
Dash: Omg
Eleanor: Lol
Dash: So you are going during lunch?
Eleanor: Yeah
Eleanor: It gives me good excuses, privilege and honesty putting my flexibility to use
Dash: As if you don't already
Eleanor: 😏
Dash: NOT LIKE THAT
Eleanor: I tease. Geez you are easy
Dash: You love giving me fear inducing heartache
Eleanor: 😌
Eleanor: Anyway my arms keep going stiff from not being used as much so it's a good exercise
Dash: Stiff arms
Eleanor: Yes my corpse body
Dash: I didn't need that mental image
Eleanor: Zombie vibes
Eleanor: I will kill Halloween this year
Dash: Metaphorically or Literally?
Eleanor: That is still being decided. If Fright Knight decides to piss me off then you know my answer
Dash: Your nonchalant behavior is exactly why I have to ask
Eleanor: 🙂
Dash: You will be the death of me
Eleanor: Awe you will join me in the afterlife?
Dash: Someone would think you need to be seen by a doctor
Eleanor: My mother is a doctor
Dash: Not that kind of doctor
Eleanor: My sister is going to be that doctor
Dash: Jazz doesn't even have the degree yet
Eleanor: Bold of you to assume she doesn't out do it and graduate early
Dash: I wouldn't put it past her or you honestly
Eleanor: and leave all of you behind? My attendance will put a wrench in that process
Dash: It was only bad freshmen year
Eleanor: Yeah and half of the teachers thought I was in a gang or something. Whats your point?
Dash: If it really was that bad would they even let you have an extra curriculum?
Eleanor: I
Eleanor: Fair point
Dash: Actually aside from the exercise why cheerleading?
Eleanor: What do you mean?
Dash: If you wanted exercise you could have picked literally anything. Tennis? Track? I mean you are a bit short for basketball but you are supernatural so you could be the exception.
Eleanor: First off Rude
Eleanor: Secondly you are telling me you wouldn't want to see me in the cheerleading uniform cheering you on from the sidelines
Dash: ....
Eleanor: 😏
Dash: Low blow
Eleanor: Not low enough according to you
Dash: Look not that you wouldn't look great in the uniform. Hell you look Great in everything.
Eleanor: Flattery will get you everywhere but keep going.
Dash: That can't honestly be your motivation?
Eleanor: It is
Dash: El
Eleanor: Look I know how it seems. Just doing it because of you but look at it this way. It's my only chance to do something so cliche it makes me feel normal.
Dash: Normal?
Eleanor: Come on I know you aren't blind. Yeah I get a few extra perks as a halfa especially since it helps with my transmission. But I'm not growing. I'm stuck in eternal youth while going thru highschool. Eventually I'll graduate, get ID everywhere I go and will never have normal.
Eleanor: I'm too ghost to be human and too human to be ghost. So I am running through everything I could possibly do while I still can.
Eleanor: Have sleepovers, go on trips, talk to people I've never interacted with before, fall in love, do after school actives, be as typical as someone like me can be.
Dash: To do as much as you can when you can.
Eleanor: Yeah
Dash: Then tell me what you haven't done yet.
Eleanor: What
Dash: Whatever on your list you haven't done yet? Give it to me. Between the two of us and shit tom of people we know we can make this year and next year as fun as possible.
Eleanor: Dash you don't have to do that
Dash: I don't.
Dash: But I want too. You don't have to ask me to do it, you're my partner isn't the whole point of that being there for each other and bouncing off ideas?
Eleanor: I mean yes it is
Dash: So let me do that much.
Eleanor: Sir
Dash: You are right about time being limited. You have more willpower than I could imagine. I couldn't even begin to understand how that feels, you are magic. In more ways than one. So to support that, to be that normal for your wishes I can give all that I can.
Dash: I am typical, average guy that will probably peak in highschool dating a beautiful girl that beyond this worlds borders and the one thing she is wishing for is something normal. That's something I can give. So will you let me?
Eleanor: Stupid god damn romantic
Dash: Your Romantic tho
Eleanor: Yeah
Eleanor: Thank you
Dash: No need to thank me. It's what you deserve, that and more.
Eleanor: To think you were a self aware asshole two years ago
Dash: HEY
Eleanor: I'm allowed this
Dash: Yeah but my cool guy moment
Eleanor: IM GIGGLING
Dash: You seem to be doing a lot of that today
Eleanor: Because you are the funniest person ever
Dash: I'm glad to be your court jester your highness
Eleanor: Omg no don't even start with that
Dash: 🙂
Eleanor: I wish I could kiss you right now.
Dash: Maybe you should
Eleanor: Mmmm tempting tempting
Dash: As you said its Calculus, the class that you have a 100 in
Eleanor: Yes I do Yes I do
Eleanor: However I like watching this teacher talk like a sloth it's very entertaining
Dash: You are quite easily entertained
Eleanor: Apart of my simply observation of life my love. When you've seen the impossible? The possible looks so mundane it's funny. Humans are cute
Dash: Say it like that you will seem out of touch already
Eleanor: Mean
Dash: I was expecting a kiss
Eleanor: Well now I don't wanna give it to you
Dash: Now look who is being mean
Eleanor: Petty vs Petty who will win
Dash: Petty ig
Eleanor: correct!
Dash: Class is almost over. I'll see you during lunch?
Eleanor: Nope tryouts
Dash: Right
Dash: Well you got this
Eleanor: I got this!
Dash: Find me after?
Eleanor: Of course
12:40 pm
Eleanor: That lasted a lot longer then I thought it would have
Dash: It wasn't nearly as long last year
Eleanor: Well there were a bunch of the freshmen and you know last year they didn't really pick many so with 3 open spots boom lines
Dash: Paulina was probably a field day
Eleanor: Like 17 girl left crying
Dash: Field Day
Eleanor: Give her a power trip and its over for everyone else
Dash: How did it go for you?
Eleanor: Surprisingly well actually? The others that noticed thought I would get favoritism but Paulina probably yelled at me the loudest that they could hear it.
Dash: That would be because she knows what you can do
Eleanor: Exactly what she said
Eleanor: "I've seen you bend like silly string is that the best you can do?" Then proceeded to give me a routine to perform on the spot. She wasn't even the one to choose it it was their coach
Dash: Ah Ms. Zamal yeah I hear she is pretty evil
Eleanor: Understatement she could have killed me with that routine
Dash: But?
Eleanor: Of course I did fine its the principle
Dash: of course
Eleanor: Thankfully now that I am free they will post results around 3?
Dash: So I can be with you when they put it up?
Eleanor: Pretty much.
Dash: Well I'm glad it went well
Eleanor: I'm hungry and it ran right through lunch
Dash: it did and todays lunch wasn't even good to save
Eleanor: Something raw?
Dash: Tuna?
Eleanor: Ew
Dash: Yeah
Eleanor: Maybe Sam had a point about the school lunches
Dash: Please not the mud pies again
Eleanor: No not that
Eleanor: Well that was absolutely disgusting so definitely not that.
Eleanor: More of the fact that they give us so much random gross food that its almost unreal that they are allowed to serve it. Like it should be a violation no?
Dash: Yeah good point. Im surprised with how much money goes into this school
Eleanor: Yeah its weird
Eleanor: Im was going to find a vending machine but the one on the second floor is expired stuff
Dash: I should have a snack or something in my bag if you want it
Eleanor: List me my options magic man
Dash: Ha give me a second
Eleanor: 1 millimeter
Eleanor: 2 millimeter
Eleanor: 3 millimeter
Eleanor: 4 millimeter
Eleanor: 5 millimeter
Eleanor: 6 millimeter
Dash: Oreos, sour cream and onion, pringles and gushers?
Eleanor: Why do you have a whole inventory
Dash: that was 4 items
Eleanor: yeah and i was expecting like 2
Dash: Fair. Honestly I don't know?
Eleanor: Well I'm robbing you of your gushers put them on the table or on top of your bag so I can snag them
Dash: Already done, its on my bag
Eleanor: Ehehehe
Dash: What?
Dash: Well that was fast
Eleanor: im hungry
Dash: I can see thatnNsbeca
Eleanor: EHEHEHEHE
Dash: was that needed?
Eleanor: you were complaining about not having a kiss
Dash: so you give me when I wasn't expecting it?
Eleanor: Obviously

Dash: I will. Find more to eat too
Eleanor: Yeah yeah I will
Dash: Love you
