Chase raised an eyebrow. "Dude. It doesn't matter how well I know her. I know that most goals are the same with date number one. To get to date number two." Granted, there were a number of other goals that could be made after date number one. Goals like kissing , getting invited into their room, continuing the date, getting laid...Chase wasn't going to pretend he didn't know any of that. But he wasn't going to tell any of that to Clint and make him more worried than he already was. "Anyway, the point is to just focus on the date and show her a good time. You can worry about anything else after she leaves. Ok, now I know you probably heard me make a lot of points tonight, but that's one of the most important points. Probably the biggest one. So don't sweat it." Though he could still tell Clint hadn't shaken the nerves. "Dude, seriously," he repeated tapping his bro on the shoulder.

But of course Clint wasn't going to let this patience thing go now! "Dude. It might as well be. And I don't want to embrace it, ok? So this whole patience thing you swear I got going on with Max right now, it's a fluke. The patience you insist I have is complete bs. So after your date I'm gonna take a shower and I'm actually gonna focus on washing this off of me and never have to think about it again" He pointed at his friend, "And you can laugh all you want, but I mean it."

He backed away from the table slightly while Clint read the next step to his flower. Chase, in the meantime, continued to fiddle with the paper frog. "And let me guess, if I don't do something with the frog it's going in the dumpster?" He shrugged his shoulders, "I guess that'd be kinda sad. there's probably a use for him somehow. Like, maybe I can make it look like he's dancing like that frog in those old Loony Tunes episodes. You know, the one that dances for that one guy and then stops for every other person so they think the guy's crazy?" Unless that meant he'd have to make an origami top hat, too, in which case, Chase would pass. He looked back at Clint and raised an eyebrow. "Ceramic vase? Oh, you mean the fake cookie jar." Fortunately he knew exactly where that was. It was on one of the small tables closer to the side of the dorm where Chase's room was. How it got over there, he really didn't remember. How would someone lose a ceramic vase, anyway/ Putting the frog down, Chase went to go pick it up before setting it in the center of the table. Of course, after he put it down, he jokingly moved it over so it was as centered as possible. "There we go."

There was no way Clint could deny what Chase said. He hadn't been on an official date, not one that he really wanted to be on - that he wanted to lead to a second one. He'd been set up before, but he didn't count those times due to how extremely awkward they'd been. He nodded uncertainly, following what his bro was saying, but still. Chase didn't know how hard to please Wyatt was. How particular she was. How it'd take either Clint being the most genuine and intriguing as possible or somehow rich to truly win her over. So yeah. He had a lot to worry about. It wasn't like Chase knew how it felt, pining for someone for years and years before finally getting to date them. Not like he was going to go out of his way to explain all that, though. He knew he had to keep his nerves under wraps and if he went on at length about how important this was, how it wasn't 'just a first date' to him - his nerves would bite him in the butt. Besides, Chase didn't want to hear any of that anyway. Too sappy. "You know I'm going to try my best, what else can I even do? Besides everything I've done so far, plus everything I have in mind to do later, of course."

He let his grin grow wider as Chase denied and denied and denied. "You do what you have to do, man," he responded, not being able to hold back his snickering. At least they could actually talk about patience without Chase feeling nauseous. That was enough to give Clint hope that deep down, his bro had some patience stowed away. No way he'd say that. He wouldn't want to be the catalyst that made Chase go to the doctor's to have patience totally extracted from his system or something, then just get laughed out of the hospital entirely because seriously how silly would that even be? "Come on, this whole vendetta is pretty funny. You can't escape patience man, it's everywhere, it's a part of life!" he mused, maybe having a little too much fun freaking Chase out than he probably should.

"I wouldn't throw it away dude, the excuse for a flower yeah maybe - but your frog actually turned out good, you've gotta keep it man. Or something that gives it purpose at least!" Clint encouraged, laughing at his idea to make it in to the warner brother's frog. Wasn't too bad of an idea, just maybe a little too complicated for his bro. "I don't know man, if you were to do that I'd just recommend drawing on the face and hat. You were pretty lucky just managing to make this guy, period - so I wouldn't go overboard with the origami. You don't even know how hard mini-origami is man, I don't even have the patience for that stuff." Obviously that was saying something.

Clint finished up the flower he was working on as Chase went to get the vase. He looked over the ones he had so far, picking them up and gathering them together so he could see them in all their bouquet glory. They looked even better together than they did individually, which definitely made Clint so proud he could hardly wait for Chase to bring the vase - having to pause when he made his adjustment. Once he did, Clint bunched them in carefully, making sure they each had enough space to look pretty and that there weren't any gaps that could make it look incomplete. "Dude. This is what I call a bouquet. What do you think? Should I make any more or would that be overdoing it?"

No, Chase probably didn't understand why Clint felt so nervous or the extremes he had to go to for this night. Chase never had to be set up with anyone. He never genuinely felt completely nervous beyond belief around a girl. A little nervous was one thing, but the nervousness that Clint felt was completely different. He didn't have to worry about winning someone over with his personality as opposed to his money or where to take them. And he definitely didn't understand what it was like to want the same girl for so long only for it to be so close but potentially end in disaster. Chase didn't understand any of that. And, if he was really lucky, he probably never would. But despite not understanding for himself, he was still trying to help. In his own way, at least. "You are gonna do your best, bro. Focus," Chase promised. Clint got this, Chase knew he did.

He just wished that Clint really didn't have to rub this patience thing in his face. Actually, Chase wasn't sure what would be worse; the patience or the sap. He hated them both so much. And even without look at his bro, Chase knew Clint had the biggest smile enjoying every second of it. Chase wanted him to be in good spirits, but not like this. "Dude, wipe that grin off would ya?" he groaned. "Look, I'll escape whatever I want however I want. I've done it before, so this patience thing isn't gonna be any different. Got it?" Of course Clint wasn't going to believe him. But Chase wanted to believe it so bad!

While Clint got his flowers together, Chase continued to fiddle with the frog a little. "I still say you're hurting my flower's feelings but whatever," he shrugged his shoulders. As far as the frog went...what would give it purpose? Although Chase could potentially give it to Max, he did still have that cell phone case he found for her. Somehow he just figured she'd prefer the case to the frog. Not that she wouldn't like the frog, but still. "I'm gonna take your word for it. I'll figure something out," he shrugged his shoulders. Without a doubt folding a mini hat was off the table. If Clint wasn't going to do it, there was no way in hell Chase would! When Clint asked about his bouquet, Chase glanced at the many paper flowers coming out of the vase.Admittedly, the flowers did look great and, if Chase did say so himself, he picked out great colors! He let out a chuckle at Clint's question, "Dude you try to stick any more flowers in there and I think it'll be throwing up flowers." He pat Clint's shoulder, "Trust me, man. You're golden."

With a deep breath, Clint knew to accept his bro's assurance. Chase was completely rooting for him even though he never understood his devotion to Wyatt. Still, he was always there to tell him he had this. And for the most part all it took was focus. He had to see past what could go wrong, and just be right there ready to take on the problem. But there wasn't going to be any problems, Clint vowed to himself. Nothing would get him out of his focus, not even the patience thing. Chase's thing with patience, or lack of it or whatever wouldn't throw him. "What grin?" he grinned jokingly, nodding and gesturing with his hands up, "Dude I got it, I got it." Clint just had to laugh though, because his bro getting all defensive about not having patience was hilarious.

"Okay man, it was a good first try I'll give you that. But come on, your flower having feelings? Don't tell me you're getting sappy on me." Clint teased as he arranged the bouquet, getting the colors and varieties nice and assorted. "If I've learned anything from you dude, it's that ladies love it when you're thoughtful. However it might come about. You know, like holding a door or sliding back a chair but also even like making things that are thoughtful. Like this bouquet. It looks awesome, because I put the thought in to it - with your help for suggesting it too, but you know what I mean."

Clint was gonna be so thoughtful tonight Chase would probably have to avert his eyes along with plugging his ears from the potential sap that'd be oozing out of his actions. Wait, that was a weird image. He shook his head, moving the bouquet back to the center of the table. "Yeah you're right. That's pretty much the perfect amount. So uh... now we wait." Clint said, subconsciously setting off a ticking timer in his head. What if she was late, and the food got cold? What if she had a change of heart and just wasn't coming? It hurt Clint to even barely think of it, but it was a Wyatt move... not the Wyatt he knew, but the one that everyone else did and believed in. With his hands not busy with anything, his fingers started to drum on the table. Then he caught himself and looked over to Chase. "Uh, dude. Gonna need you to help me take my mind off the wait... it's gonna get to me I can just feel it."

Chase shook his head. On the one hand, he was glad this was being somewhat of a good distraction to Clint. His bro could get so worked up over Wyatt sometimes. But on the other hand, did it really have to come at Chase's expense? It wasn't like this was anything new. Just things that were somehow entertaining to Clint. Again. And again. And again. And again. And so on and so forth until he'd get tired of laughing somehow which would probably never happen. And seriously, when did flowers having feelings count as being sappy? "Dude. It's called imagination. It's like...it's like the Simpsons. You don't see people walking around with yellow skin singing a song about how Flanders sucks. Some guy decided to make that a thing. So some other guy at some point, probably a lot of different points, probably looked at a flower and decided to give it a face and feelings and personality. I'm probably just the first guy to do it to a paper flower so you know what? If I draw an awesome picture one day about a living, communicating, feeling paper flower then you're not getting any credit. I'm gonna come up with some story myself about how I figured it out. Like...I drew a flower for class and turned it into a cartoon." He shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal and that it was the most obvious thing ever. Which it probably wasn't. But it was at least a little obvious to chase that paper flowers with feelings didn't equal sappiness. Giving multiple paper flowers to a girl being pined over for years on end and devoting his entire life to her despite all odds, that was sappiness to the extreme.

He watched Clint rearrange and rerearrange and rererearrange the bouquet to make it as perfect as possible. Chase tried really hard not to roll his eyes. Could a paper flower bouquet with a frog chilling at the base of the vase be any more perfected? Whatever. "Ok, ok, fine so you're not totally wrong. Ladies love thought and gifts and stuff. The trick is usually to act interested or like you put a lot of thought into what you did. You don't have to worry about that ever with Wyatt. But thought and stuff isn't patience or sap. It's ways to impress girls and get dates. It's like, if I didn't put any thought into a good date then the night'd be going nowhere. No thought means no fun which means nothing at the end of the night which also means no potential second dates. And I'm totally talking to a brick wall of flowers, aren't I?" He realized with each sentence, slowly but surely, that almost no matter what Chase said it would make no difference to Clint. He'd still tease Chase about it. And, unfortunately, he was still going to be nervous about tonight.

Chase glanced down, noticing Clint tap his fingers against the table. well, that wasn't going to get old at all! "Ok, what happened to chilling?" Clearly his last monologue didn't help at all. "What happened to knowing you got this? C'mon, don't even think of it as nerves. Think of it like..." He paused and snapped his fingers, trying to think of the right word. "..Anticipation. You're anticipating what a great night you're gonna show Wyatt. And you're a little anxious but you're more excited cause she's gonna be looking good and she's gonna eat your dinner and then she's gonna bat her eyes and say," he attempted to make his voice higher pitched and sound like a Southern belle despite the fact that it was so not Wyatt, "'Oh Clint you just made the cutest meal ever, I don't think I could eat another bite. And these flowers are just the bee's knees! What? They're for me? Oh, y'all shouldn't have!'"

It came as no surprise that Chase denied the sappiness of his notion. Clint just had to make a mental note to remember his bro's defense next time he called him out on sap, if only to mess with him. Really it was all imagination – whether it was sentimental or creative or otherwise. “I mean, yeah you have a point and all,” he shrugged, “but if you do decide to do that I'm all for it.Go wild with it and make it a whole flower shop that comes to life after hours or whatever, I don't want or need any credit. Not that it's not a bad idea or anything – just...” Clint shrugged again, because it really didn't matter either/or where the idea came from or what would come about from it. If anything, he would know the truth behind it.

Clint looked up from turning the bouquet around so Wyatt's seat got the best view of it. “I don't know man, it just sounds like you're in complete denial now,” he laughed to himself, “Sap and patience are the best tools a guy could have, well, patience mainly – but sap just makes the patience easier to deal with. I mean I wouldn't even be doing all of this or even having this important date with the girl of my dreams without them. That's got to show for something, you know.” Of course he knew Chase wouldn't buy that for a second because of his vendetta against both things – and he could say all of that but still have his nerves flare up.

The thought of her being on her way was getting him too jittery – at least he hoped she was on her way... He sighed at Chase's questions, he just couldn't help it. “Anticipation,” he repeated, pausing for a second and blinking up at Chase. “okay. Well, I am anticipating all that, yeah.” Clint spoke as if to convince himself that it wasn't nerves, not really...

He was just anxious and excited, yeah – listening as Chase went on, deadpanning his expression at the pitch change in his voice. “Dude.” he said, unable to hold in his laughter as it sputtered out of him as he shook his head and continued, “Worst Wyatt impression ever man. She isn't southern and she definitely doesn't have the vocabulary of a crazy old lady... bee's kness? Seriously?” Clint continued to laugh, not realizing that Chase had effectively distracted him from his nerves and doubts.

Ok, Clint was definitely taking this too seriously now. All Chase had really done was make perfect sense out of what seemed like a very sappy thing to do. It wasn't sappy, it wasn't patient, it wasn't anything except a random creative idea and Clint was totally blowing it out of proportion! He scoffed. "Dude. Really? What you just called an idea to prove that sap and patience potentially exist in a guy and you don't want any credit You? The walking, talking, heaping pile of sap and patience? And no, I'm not exaggerating. I say this cause I know you, and if someone ever created a website for Mario Kart where we could just create an account and race with anyone at any time instead of needing one controller with a game system and you had an account on that site, your user name would be SappyPatience. Not even with a number at the end of any symbols cause no one else in their right minds would actually want to choose a name like that."

He shook his head. "Dude, say whatever you want, call it whatever you want. Maybe it's the kinda thing that works for you. Awesome. You're getting Wyatt. But some guys, like me, don't want or need it. I've gotten this far without sap and patience and the only time I'm actually gonna need patience is waiting all night to be one of the first people ever into a store to buy some really awesome video game. Or at least to be one of the first to see the most anticipated superhero movie of the century. Now I'm not sure when either of those would happen or what the likelihood even is of one or both happening before we're 30, but if they do happen then by all means lecture me on the importance of patience and all that then." Ok, so maybe Chase was exaggerating a little - as he usually did - but he was trying to make a point. How many dates had he been on since he started at Metric? And how many dates had he been on with the same girl? Well...he lost count, but it was pretty safe to say it was a lot. So clearly, as much as Clint for whatever reason enjoyed being a sappy patient hopeless romantic, Chase didn't need any of that.

If there was a bright side, Clint was semi accepting of Chase's answer for him. And it was even more hilarious to see his response. Just bursting out laughing and calling Chase's use of words 'crazy old lady'. "Hey c'mon man, at least it sounded Southern!" he laughed. This was exactly what he'd been going for! Clint needed to loosen up a bit ad have a good laugh. Of course, now he just had to not picture Wyatt talking like a Southern old lady. But there was no way that'd get to him! "And it was either Southern, British, Jamaican, zombie or trucker. Which one did you think I was gonna go with?" He cleared his throat and heightened his pitch to mimic the Southern belle again. "Well now I do declare that Southern was indeed the best choice for the most believable Wyatt. Now give me some sugar and tell me how gorgeous I look standin under that there moonlight!"

As Chase went on about his sappy patience, Clint just knew his best bro had to have both no matter how much he denied it. He didn't say it in words, since his 'you don't have to deny it' expression spoke for itself - cracking a smirk when he created an account name for him. "Dude, I wouldn't choose a name like that. I'm not so insane with sap and patience to actually do that. That's more like a prank name you'd give me just because you can't admit that you have even a little of either."

He chuckled, maybe a little smugly, "But just keep saying that to yourself, that you don't have or need them. I can't stop you from doing that, except maybe calling you out every time you start showing symptoms of having incurable sappy patience. Or whatever," Okay... thinking about 'sappy patience' and being an illness wasn't producing any pretty pictures in Clint's mind - "I know you know you can distract me with sap and patience, but maybe it's best we just drop it for now. Wyatt is what's going on right now." He suggested, knowing Chase well enough to figure they were on a subject that he didn't want to continue as much as Clint did now. Wyatt was definitely a better topic anyway, though thoughts of her did have a tendency to start up his sap.

"Yeah it sounded southern, but not like Wyatt!" he responded, considering just for a second how his bro would sound in his attempts to emulate her in the numerous other voices he'd mentioned. "I mean, Jamaican would have been pretty awesome - funnier too. Not really realistic though, not that the Southern Belle voice is that realistic either. Wyatt definitely doesn't talk like that." Clint reminded, cringing a little at his bro's last words. "You make her sound like Dolly Parton when you talk like that." He remarked, his face stuck in the cringe as the image of a large-chested Wyatt with big poofy hair moseyed in to his imagination - shaking his head distastefully. "That's way too weird man. Make her British or something, I can handle British."

Fine, Clint had a point. Maybe he wouldn't specifically choose SappyPatience for a name. Still seemed like it fit him, though. But Chase was standing by the fact that it described his best bro perfectly. "Point taken, not your first choice for a username," he gave in, "and yeah, that does sound like a prank or code name I'd give you on one of our missions. All I'm saying is, with the way you preach about sap and patience like it's so awesome and it's the best things ever to have with a girl then SappyPatience might as well be one of your names so don't give me that look. When do you even know me to act patient except for a video game or movie?"

He shuddered when Clint referred to 'sappy patience' like it was some sort of disease! Actually it probably was! Chase could picture it now. Someone would probably start acting all sweet and the most basic patience possible - nothing out of the ordinary there. There'd be a guy waiting in the living room with flowers for his date to come out. She'd probably say 'I'll be there in five minutes' when it'd really be more like 20 because girls. And the guy would be chilling on the couch staring at his flowers and smiling like he has nothing better to do except be patient. And then, finally, when the date comes into the room and the guy sees how pretty she looked he would compliment her with the sappiest comment possible. Hence, Sappy Patience. Oh god, that sounded horrible! Chase wouldn't dare repeat that mental image to Clint or he'd never hear the end of it! More so than he already wasn't hearing the end of it. "Dude...how am I support to think of anything else to distract you when you just put that in my head??"

How was he even supposed to focus on emulating a terrible sounding Wyatt now? He was going to do well with all those different accents and then Clint went and ruined it with his illness! Dammit. "So Dolly Parton is worse than crazy old lady?" he raised an eyebrow. "I'm supposed to make a slightly more believable Wyatt with the argument you're putting up? You're the one who's not letting this sappy patience thing go and.... Ok seriously man, what up with that face? You stay like that any longer, you're gonna be cringing for a week." What was even going on in Clint's mind with that face happening? Actually...Chase didn't want to know. At all. Chase sighed. British wouldn't have been his first choice; he only threw that in because he thought he could do a semi believable accent. But all the others were way more fun to do. The things he did for his bro! "Fine, fine. You wanna hear a British Wyatt? She's gonna be British but then I'm following up with a Vampire Wyatt. Ok like, picture British Wyatt and Vampire Wyatt in a room." He cleared his throat and heightened his pitch again. "Well what a jolly good table this is you set up, ol boy. I do hope there is tea time after dinner, it looks divine!" He then deepened his voice just slightly to create a Vampire Wyatt voice, though there might have been hints of terrible Russian in there somehow. "Vy yes, it does! Actually, could ve skip de tea time? I'm feelink a bit more crravink for a different drink. Sometink...redder. Ticker. Do you have any Bloody Marys arround?"

Clint responded simply with a shrug, "I can't name any times specifically or anything... what, should I start a log now or something so I have recorded proof that you've got it in you? I have enough on my plate and you know it." he grinned, of course implying that he would be too busy with Wyatt to even think of doing that. He'd be doing his lackey stuff, plus date stuff, and whatever other stuff too - just thinking about Wyatt monopolizing his time like that cleared his head of sappy patience entirely.

"Dude, I don't know - just forget about it, maybe think about Max or something," Clint offered in suggestion, giving a sort of optimistic shrug before his bro asked about Dolly Parton. "...I guess? I mean to be honest that lady always used to freak me out, not enough to freak me out now or anything - but it's just easier to picture Wyatt as a crazy old lady than her... if that makes sense. Weird, I know. But well, come to think of it, Dolly Parton probably is a crazy old lady by now. Still doesn't make it any easier for me. Wyatt would never look like that lady, let alone talk like her!"

Clint managed to straighten his face, and a grin developed when Chase conceded to a British Wyatt. He laughed abruptly, “Okay okay, this has got to be good,” Clint replied, doing as Chase instructed – imagining two Wyatt's in the room with them. It was, without saying, a way more welcome image than the former Parton-ed Wyatt. He laughed heartily as his bro did his impressions, his imagination extending the scene a bit and quieting him. With any luck, the two Wyatt's would show up in his dreams soon... especially that Vampire one.

Adjusting his collar a little, he let out a semi-nervous laugh. “Don't get me thinking about a Vampire Wyatt dude, yeah it's a good distraction but well, it's almost too good if you know what I mean.” he implied, not really about to spell it out or anything. Wyatt was sexy enough for him, but a Vampire Wyatt? That was better saved for a time when he was alone and not about to see the actual Wyatt any moment. "You could just as easily make her a Russian Wyatt anyway."

A log actually almost sounded like a good idea. That way Clint would have undeniable proof - or lack of - how much sap and patience affected Chase. Almost was the key word, of course. Because if Clint found anything even the tiniest thing, it would backfire on Chase completely. Too much of a risk. It wasn't like Chase could answer to that anyway because Clint had to go and imply that! Well...it could also mean he'd be busy just trying to impress wyatt and show her a good time and that he's good for her. But saying it like that just made Chase think Clint had more in store for tonight! "Dude! I'm spying, but I don't need to know every detail of what you're planning!" he gasped, making a face.

He'd definitely have to think about Max now to get...well, that out of his head. Thinking about his bro doing things was NOT cool! Not that he needed a reason to think about Max either, but he also couldn't say that to Clint or the whole sappy sickness thing would continue. He looked at Clint doubtfully when he mentioned Dolly Parton. "Dude. Dolly Parton is scary?" he repeated quizzically. "You're not serious. Well...yeah, you're kinda right. She is...old. Not completely sure about crazy, Other than her way over the top country accent. C'mon man, we both know that on her is way worse than me. I still say you're looking into this too much. Southern Wyatt is definitely different from Dolly Parton. It's not like she could pull off Wyatt's red hair anyway."

When Chase actually did pull off the two Wyatt impressions, he had no idea what to expect from Clint. Except to maybe feel relaxed, distracted, entertained and relieved to know he had such an awesome bro to do all this for him. But it didn't turn out that way. Clint got a little nervous and said it was too good. Too good for what? Oh wait.... Chase groaned. "Oh man, what did I say before?" he complained. "It wasn't meant to be that good, it was just supposed to be funny! Why would you tell that to me? I don't tell you this stuff!" Well...he was pretty sure he didn't anyway. But that was besides the point. The point was, Clint was getting a sweet deal of two Wyatt voices at once and he wasn't even thinking about what a sweet deal that was! "Ok why does everyone say that about my vampire voice?" he sighed. He was pretty sure Max made a comment about his fake Russian accent as well. What did a guy have to do to get some respect for the accents? He worked hard on perfecting those! "In what universe does a Russian Wyatt even need to exist anyway when you've got all these other Wyatts at your disposal?"

A little confused at Chase's words, Clint furrowed his brow, “Wait, I'm not saying what you're thinking I'm saying – if that's what you're getting at,” he said, clearly baffled, “wasn't I just trying to plan things with you when you said not to plan? Seriously, you're saying what I think you're saying and I mean yeah, I've thought about that... but come on – that wasn't what I was saying!” he defended himself not-so-eloquently, truthfully pulling his face in to the most honest expression he could so Chase would see. “Really!”

Now that Chase was picturing Dolly Parton-ified Wyatt it made it way worse! “I'm serious, I don't know why – I just never asked myself why, but I also never ever pictured Wyatt being southern or being, I mean – looking like that lady. I don't even want to again,” Clint shuddered, the look of distaste glazing over his features again before he shook his head and shut his eyes to deter his mind from going there again. No way was he going to let that happen.

Anyway, the awkward nervousness arose and washed away that Wyatt completely, replacing it with another. “I didn't- dude! It's not like I wan- uh- look, nevermind the Wyatt impressions. They were good okay, you do good accents, maybe you could do impressions of me or Headmaster Audet or something? Anything dude. Like look - you can make fun of me all you want, at least that will distract me from thinking about Wyatt more than I need to.” Which was probably something he could've brought up earlier if he hadn't been so distracted with Dolly Parton and sexy vampires. He pushed away the inclination to put those two images together, instead tearing out a sheet of the origami paper and folding it to keep his mind focused and off of random shit that would end up turning him in to a ball of nerves again.

Chase blinked as he tried to follow exactly what Clint was saying. Ok, so Clint wasn't saying what Chase thought he was saying if that's what he was even saying but he was really saying something else that Chase wasn't saying at all so Clint was saying the opposite of Chase was saying when Chase was saying... Wait, what? Now Chase was confusing himself! How was he even supposed to keep up with this? Maybe he should try it again. So Clint said what Chase thought he said was really what he wasn't saying instead he was saying that he was saying...that...that Chase was saying...he meant, what Clint was saying.... Ok, that was a bad idea! Now his head just hurt. Chase ended up shaking his head and just looking at Clint confused as a result. "O...k...?" he replied, although it sounded more like a question than an actual 'ok'.

With Clint freaking out about some mished-up mashed-up Dolly Parton-ized Wyatt again, Chase held up his hands. "Whoa, whoa, dude. Chill!" he nearly gasped. "Ok, I'm sorry. My bad. I took the teasing too far, apparently. What do we need to do? Set up a safe word or something when **** gets too intense?" Actually that wouldn't be the worst idea ever. If it also got the whole patience and sappiness thing off of Chase's back.... "Look, all I was saying is that there has to be some reason why something is scary. No one looks at a billboard of Dolly Parton's face hanging on the highway and speeds away cause she looks like some ancient creepy Chinese woman staring into your soul looking to steal something or curse you if you don't give it up."

He continued to watch his bro freak out, probably more so than when he actually started putting the whole night together. That wasn't the intention at all. Tease Clint, yes. Mock Clint, maybe a little. Get his mind off the insane nervousness that his bro was feeling for his first date ever with his dream girl, duh. Chase did mean well, it was just that sometimes...maybe he went a little too overboard. It didn't hit him until afterwards, maybe when it was too late, that something he said or did really bothered someone even if it wasn't intentional. The only people he legit meant to irritate were parents, authoritative figures, teachers, his sister and people he generally disliked. Clint was definitely not on that list! So how to fix that...? Huh. Chase thought about it for a minute. When he thought of something - whether it was the right thought or not - he cleared his throat and deepened his voice, sort of making himself sound like an idiot in the process. "'Yo yo yo, it's Chad here. I'm hot. And I drive a hot car. And I'm hot. And I love my abs. I named them Chad, Chad Jr, Chadster, Chaddy, Chad Jr Jr, Chadpow and Chad Jr Jr Jr. Yeah, I have a lot of abs. They're hot like me. Also I like to burn money. I have a ton. And money fire makes me even hotter. And I like anything with boobs that are also hot.'" He turned to his normal voice, "And you know if Chad ever said anything like that, that'd be the moment when that crazy writing professor jumps out from a bush. He'd be all," Chad changed his voice so he was practically yelling now, "'BOOBS!! Baskets Of Orange Bobbleheaded Seamonkeys! That is SO perfect for my next Tumblr post! I gotta say that over and over and over again so I don't forget about it! Even more awesome, I should see what my students think of BOOBS, too! WOOO!!"' He stood up straight and put his hands on his hips. "I mean, personally, i think he'd go with BUTTS as an acronym for something crazy, cause its also funnier, but I was just going with the flow."

It was probably for the best that they were both confused enough to let the subject drop. Definitely no loss there. Anyway, a safe word was likely the most ideal suggestion - Clint nodded at his bro, "Yeah, something completely innocent like uh, airplane or something?" It was the first word that popped in to his head. "But are you one hundred percent sure about that? Come on, I'm sure that at least one other person finds Dolly Parton cringe-worthy. Seriously." It was along the lines of being freaked out by clowns for him, for whatever reason. He shrugged.

When Chase got to other imitations, Clint was beyond entertained, grateful for his pick of the renowned man-whore on campus - his somewhat-rival suitor... not really though. The guy was a tool. It wouldn't surprise Clint one bit if he actually did burn money. Some people had it all... or seemed to have it all. It was sort of pathetic if they didn't do anything constructive with all they had, and as far as Clint could tell - Chad didn't.

At his bro's storytelling switch-up, Clint shook his head good-naturedly, "You mean like Bountiful Umbrella Tight-roping Trainee Snakes?" he played along, "Or what about counselor Lambert?" Clint suggested, his lips drawn up in to a playful smile. "Lambert and Mr. Dillis stuck in an elevator or something - now that's gonna take some imagination," he laughed and grinned over at Chase. "but I know you got what it takes man." Clint encouraged, thinking about the hilarious situation and wondering if the two staff members had ever faced anything like that before. Probably not.

Chase raised an eyebrow. Airplane? It made sense, probably. Simple was better. Not that Chase thought they would really need a safe word for a huge group hangout or anything like that, but did airplane really sound like a safe word? Should they come up with something that could come more easily in conversation? Was it a good safe word? "Think we're gonna remember airplane being our safe word?" he asked. "Like should it be something safe but kinda crazy so we know it's a safe word or should it be something that we'd definitely use as a safe word? Like...I dunno, monkey or something?" Though when it came to someone else being afraid of Dolly Parton, Chase doubted that. It made more sense to be afraid of clowns. At least they had the noses, big feet, loud noises, crazy face paint and jumped out from nowhere. "You're not making a strong case, dude," he shook his head. He just had a hard time believing it.

Although Chase was glad that his imitations entertained Clint and made him completely wipe things like Vampire Wyatt away from his mind. He had a feeling that doing a Chad impression would do the trick. No one took Chad seriously and honestly, Chase felt sorry for anyone who fell for Chad's acts. It wasn't even anything good, all he did was smile and turn on the charm and he got a girl. It was so stupid. Amazing that Chad didn't take all the good girls yet. Not that Chase was complaining about that. He let out a laugh when Clint actually joined in with an acronym for BUTTS. Now he was getting into it! "Exactly! And you know that would come up eventually," he laughed. "And the snakes part? Nice touch, bro." Though he did shake his head at the thought of doing an impression of Lambert. The counselor? Seriously? Chase didn't do counselors. Hearing the same thing over and over again from his guidance counselors in high school just was too much. He hated it. "Dude, c'mon. All guidance counselors are the same. They act like your friend, like they have your best interests at heart and then make you feel guilty about a class you're not taking or something you're doing wrong at the school. Totally lame. Not to mention overrated. I don't do any couselor imitations." Especially after dealing with his counselor in sophomore year of college. He wasn't even gonna go there! "But I can come up with a pretty hilarious situation why Lambert and Dillis would be stuck in an elevator together. Picture it Clint - you got Lambert, minding his own business. He just finished dealing with his last case for the day. He thinks he made a difference, he's drinking his coffee or whatever he drinks after a long day. He walks into the elevator and all is good. Suddenly, Dillis runs down the hall screaming for Lambert to keep the door opened for him. He listens, Dillis gets in and all seems fine, at least until the elevator starts moving and making those...I dunno, elevator sounds or whatever. Suddenly, Dillis jumps up with some incredible story idea he just HAS to say over and over again so he'll remember. They're on an elevator that travels through time and space. Every floor is a different time period. Victorian, Cave men, 2121, the short-lived constant reply of Gangum Style...then he points to Lambert and starts incorporating him into the story, like Dillis is some sorta magician and Lambert is his trusty sidekick Steed the Magical Galloping Frog Man and they have to explore each and every floor of the building to collect the sacred keys of some unpronouncable civilization to wake up the sleeping...uh...Magmus...Opius...Sagitarius...and answer the world's most important question ever." When he finally finished talking, Chase blinked and took in what he said for a moment. Then, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "Oh crap, I'm turning into a writing professor!"
