I'll make this look pretty later!

It does give you a certain 1998 James Van Der Beek kind of appeal but I'd have to see it in person to give a proper judgement.

[jettisons]

I don't know who that is.

[He's from the hellish version of space, Cheryl.]

[sweetwater]

Color me shocked. Regardless, it's true and mostly a compliment.

[jettisons]

[What. Really?]

What's got you in such a good mood?

[sweetwater]

Can't a girl compliment a friend without drawing suspicion?

[jettisons]

[Friend, huh? Not that he minds, but he never would have guessed Cheryl would consider him a friend.]

You? No.
I've never seen you compliment anyone.

[sweetwater]

[ you mean you don't bully your friends for no real reason? weird, Bellamy. ]

Maybe you weren't paying attention.

[jettisons]

Apparently not.
I'm guessing this isn't actually about my hair.

[sweetwater]

Not entirely. What's your availability like? I have an idea, and I require assistance from a strapping young gentleman such as yourself.

[jettisons]

Should I be worried?

[sweetwater]

Probably not.

I overheard a conversation at a shop yesterday, and if my suspicions are correct, a trio of shady individuals is up to no good in our fair town. Obviously I can't properly investigate on my own. That's where you come in.

[jettisons]

Right.

[And Bellamy is instantly roped in. He doesn't want her to get into a shady situation without backup.]

What did you hear?

[sweetwater]

They were talking about the Empress, and palace security. It sounded like they'd been scouting around the palace.

[jettisons]

Great. Just what we need.
Where do you want me to meet you?

[sweetwater]

My place? We'll go for a walk.

[jettisons]

Sure. Where do you live?

[sweetwater]

[ he gets the approximate address, and a selfie of her and Peter standing outside the building. ]

Are you bringing a weapon?

[jettisons]

Yes.

[He's paranoid, Cheryl, and he's also on his way.]

Can you handle yourself if things go south?

[sweetwater]

Of course, look at me. I'm terrifying.

[ lol no ]

[jettisons]

You can tell yourself that. I don't think you're going to get many people agreeing.

[sweetwater]

You only say that because you're not from Riverdale.
