A Sweet Escape

[Essent Rose Allison]

THE NEXT DAY

"Pfft. Luigi board."

Essent was up late last night recording her darn reaction to the Weggy Board video. She was laughing herself to sleep on this one. Ethan walked in on her repeating lines from the video as she brushed her teeth.

"Still can't get that video out of your head, huh?"

She shook her head and tried to make a nuh-uh noise with her mouth. Essent proceeded to finish up with her teeth brushing, rising her mouth out with water. After that was done, she proceeded to get into her casual wear (which was just her purple work shirt and work pants. Basically her work outfit without the lab coat and badge. She plopped onto the couch in the living room and let out a sigh.

"I am... Content."

"This is the happiest I've seen you."

"Well, I deserve it. The lab's back, I got you back, I don't have a whole crowd of fans wanting my autograph..."

"What about this Kong Guy you mentioned?"

"I'm sure Cirrus can keep him occupied."

The young fist user stretched herself out. This was the life.
