"Oh come on, you can't seriously expect me to respond to every one of these stupid messages that these idiots..."

[Right around dinner time, Larxene's going to get a couple of quick text messages.]

Salutations friend!!
My best friend and I are having a movie marathon at our house this weekend.
I was hoping you would like to come!
I meant to tell you sooner, but I have been at practice all afternoon and have not had a chance.

[Here, she'll snap a quick pic of her in her cheerleading uniform.]

If you have any movie or snack preferences, I'd be more than happy to pick something up!

[Eh? Who the hell was texting her? Was it another one of those weird accidental texts? Oh, no, it looked like it was on purpose. Oh god, it was Penny.

Salutations? Why did she say that? She was so weirdly formal. Larxene was almost tempted to joke when she felt brief relief. Ok, she wasn't the best friend. Good... good...

But didn't she realize there was a war going on? Maybe she should blow this off.]

From:

[No, if she blew her off, Penny was just going to be even more effervescent the next time, and giggly and bubbly, and then she'd end up getting roped into even more of this banal friend stuff. Larxene had already figured out that barring being actually cruel to her, Penny didn't seem to mind that she had a violent streak or a rough edge. Of course, she wasn't quite as mean spirited as she'd normally be, but still...

And besides, the coffee hadn't been terrible. Awkward but not terrible.

Oh wait, there was another attachment... *click*]

[Squint.]

...

[That was Penny.
Very Perky.
In a very cute cheerleading uniform.
A slightly short skirted cheerleading uniform at that.
That... you didn't send pictures like this to friends out of the blue, did you?
Why would you send this? Was she supposed to compliment her? Was she supposed to tease her about her hair or her skin or the ten-thousand other things Larxene could come up with off the cuff? No, this wasn't supposed to get a tease. The urge was there, but why... why did she?]

WHY WOULD YOU SEND ME THIS?!?

[That wasn't actually a reply. She was shrieking at her fluid in utter befuddlement and confusion. Her head hurt, and not for the first time. She should definitely blow this off. She should absolutely blow this off. She had to get the hell away from this crazy fucking red-head who was sending her pictures of her before it was too late.]

Sure, my weekend's free.
Meet you there at five.
Uh, cheetos if you could swing it. I'll bring some Mt. Dew.

You look cute.

[Fuck her life. She had no willpower.]

From:

That is very sweet of you to say so!
When I first saw the outfits for our squad, I knew I had to join.
Being a cheerleader is just another way to put a smile on people's faces, right? :)

[Here, she'll just snap another quick pic of her smiling face, sent along with her address.]

From:

You keep sending me these cute pics.
I don't actually have any to send back you know.
Not exactly the most photogenic here.

[Did she realize that she was inviting this girl to take selfies with her? Almost certainly not.]

From:

maidforcombat

[This poor girl, she must have such low self-esteem. First she insists that she's not a good person, now she's saying she's not photogenic? Penny's going to have to do something to put her in better spirits!!]

That is not true at all!
You are very cute, and I am sure anyone would be thrilled to see your pretty smile!

[Penny stop.]

From:

trancheuse

Oh yeah, my smiling chompers are exactly what people need to see.
Penny, you really are too good to me, you know that?
One of these days, you're going to ask around town and realize I'm not nearly as beloved as you think

But hey, don't worry about it.
I'll bring a smile along with the Dew, just for you.
I'll even try to make it natural.

[Her lips were going to be so sore when this was done.]
