*A few minutes earlier…*
Colin just sat there sipping his coffee as Luan went to the lady’s room.
Suddenly he felt a feminine hand tapping his shoulder.
He sighed, turned, and said “I have a girlfriend.”
“And I have a flat tire.” The bakery’s delivery driver replied without missing a beat.
“Oh.” Colin said.
“… I take it you don’t know how to change it?” The deliver driver said as she rolled her eyes, “She’s got herself a reaaaaal great man…”
“Now hold on a minute!” Colin said.
With some elbow grease and a couple tools (also a YouTube tutorial), he got the tire swapped out.
“Thanks!” The delivery driver called as she drove off.
“No problem!” Colin called.
He turned around and started walking through the alley he used to get to the employee parking lot.
‘Looks like things are coming up Colin!’ He thought to himself.
That’s when noticed something sparkly and purple jutting out of the trash.
“Hello, what’s this?” Colin asked as he grabbed the sparkly thing by the handle and pulled it out.
It was covered in a coagulated mess of coffee, soup, and tea soaked mush.
“Eeeeugh…” Colin winced as he pulled out some wet wipes and started cleaning off the mess.
It was a purple sword with a blunt edge accented by streaks of silver.
“Looks like something Wendy would like.” Colin said as he heard a gasp from behind him.
************************************************
Luan walked around the lobby looking everywhere.
“Excuse me, have you seen a guy this tall, deep black hair, dreamy blue eyes, super sculpted abs?” Luan asked.
“Uhhh… no.” The baker said.
“Where did he go?” Luan asked.
All of a sudden an ear splitting squeal rang out from outside.
“What was that?!” The baker yelled.
Luan immediately ran out the front door.
“Oh my god, you found it! You found one! I can’t believe it!” A woman cheered excitedly.
“What? What is this?!” Colin asked frustratedly.
“What is this?! This is a near exact replica of Grimora’s Nightingale Cutlass from The Queen Mage Aria!!!” The woman’s voice yelled, “and it’s in AMAZING shape!”
“The Queen Who What now?” Colin asked, wheezing as he said “Whatever, you can have it! Just quit hugging me so hard!”
Another squeal was heard followed by a muffled shout from Colin.
“What’s going on-?” Luan asked as she rounded the corner.
Colin was clutching some weird looking toy as another woman stood there kissing him. Her dark hair was messily cut and poorly conditioned, her Sunkist’s tan offset by her baggy blue hoodie with a weird white star on the back. The greasy sweatpants and scuffed sneakers really tied up her whole trashy look as she kept her lips on Luan’s man!
Colin shoved the unwanted kisser away as soon as he noticed Luan standing there fuming.
“Get the hell away from me, what the fuck is wrong with you?!” Colin asked.
“I just wanted to reward the handsome guy who completed my collection for me…” she smiled with glazed pink eyes.
Colin knew that look all too well.
“Oh no, oh no no no no, I am not doing THAT, not here! Not with you!” Colin shouted as he backed away slowly. “I already said you could have the sword, leave me alone!”
“I think you’ve got another sword I want…” the stranger said as she backed Colin down an alleyway.
“Hey nerd, you done digging around in the trash?!” A familiar voice called from the front of the store.
“Ronnie?” Colin asked.
“You must be Colin! My cousin told me about you…” She smiled.
“Okay, seriously Luz, come on! You’re gonna make me late!” Ronnie shouted “Get whatever dumb piece of junk you dig out of the trash and get going!”
“I was just getting something for Wendy…” Colin said to himself “I just saw this and thought of her…”
“Then we can make a trade.” Luz smiled as she yanked his pants down and immediately sucked down his dong.
He winced and groaned as he tried frantically pulling away.
“Who are you?” Ronnie asked.
“Oh I’m Luan, I’m just looking for my boyfriend but I don’t see him over here!” Luan nervously sweated as Luz went to town on her boyfriend’s member.
‘What’s Luan doing?!’ Colin thought as he looked over to his surprise bj, ‘And how the fuck is SHE not choking?!’
“Yeah, I’m looking for my cousin, soooo…” Ronnie said as she looked over Luan’s shoulder.
“Greasy sweats, messy hair, obsessed with The Queen Mage Aria?” Luan asked.
“Actually, exactly that why-?” Ronnie started as she heard a guy scream.
She looked over to see Greys frantically pull his pants up yelling “Keep the stupid sword!!!!”
Luan ran after him as Luz walked up clutching her prize.
“What did you just do?” Ronnie asked as she noticed white goop on her cousin’s lips.
Luz frantically wiped her face, “Nothing! Just found the perfect piece of cosplay!”
“… Did you just give a guy you didn’t even know a bj for a fake sword?” Ronnie asked.
“Maaaaybe…” Luz smirked.
“You’re officially an addict.” Ronnie sighed, “Now come on! I need to go!”
************************************************
“Right in the alley!” Luan shouted, “You could hear them from inside the bakery!”
“Oh my fucking god….” Sam facepalmed, “Great, just great.”
“And you’re saying it was an actual Nightingale Cutlass?!” Wendy shouted, “Why didn’t you come and knock her out and get Colin out of there?”
“That would be assault, Wendy.” Sam groaned.
“I’m sorry, I helped out someone with a flat and I saw it in the trash and-.” Colin pleaded as the doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it!” Lucy shouted.
“I’m just glad you’re okay.” Sam said with a hug.
“Hey babe, who’s Luz?” Lucy asked.
Colin was handed an envelope with her name on it that held a ticket.
“The 23rd Annual Aria Fest?” Colin asked aloud….
