Vibes: come on girl.... *gets up, now looking quite tubby*

*Vibes groans*

Vibes (thought): My tummy hurts...

*her waistband snaps*

Vibes: urp....did...i go up 2 sizes?

*Vibes waddles awkwardly*

Vibes (thought): Maybe I'll...not use the speed mode now...feel...icky...

*she makes it to her apartment, setting the rest of the take away down*

Vibes: *looks in the mirror* ugh.....i hope nico doesn't notice.....*shakes her head* no. why do i care

*Vibes sighs*

Vibes (thought): I just screw it up for everyone.

*the next day*

*Vibes groans as she wakes up*

Vibes (thought): Ugh...What a weird night...

*she gets up, struggling to speed mode*

*Vibes scowls*

Vibes (thought): Why can't I go any faster?

Vibes: i'm....fat!

*Vibes slows down*

Vibes: So...slow...

*there is a knock at the door*

*Vibes groans*

Vibes (thought): Oh what now?

*she waddles to the door*

Nico: uh....Vibes?

*Vibes smiles awkwardly*

Vibes: Err...hi...

Nico: *Looks her over* uhm....are you ok? we got worried when you didn't show up for work so miss Vixen sent me here.

*Vibes nods*

Vibes: Yeah...well...I had some takeaway last night and had an...allergic reaction...

Nico: that doesn't look like an allergic reaction.

Vibes: well that's-

Nico: i don't judge. i know stress can.....well do a lot. i'm guessing you had a lot of difficulties.

Vibes: *snorts* what are you. psychic?

Nico: i wish. just....a lot of experience in that too. and i'd like to help you

*Vibes eyes him suspiciously*

Vibes: Oh...really?

Nico: *nods* if you need a friend to talk jenny maverick with or music i mean.

Vibes: you don't care that i blew up like a sumo?

Nico: i've lived in this city for a while. i know weirdness happens.

Vibes: hmmm......and if i say no?

Nico: i'll be worried but respect your decision.

*Vibes smiles*

Vibes: Tell you what...Tell Sal I'm sick and then you can come back here later. Deal?

Nico: i'll bring my jenny maverick audio comics

Vibes: you have those?! i thought they were out of print!

Nico: i was lucky *smiles and leaves*

Vibes: ...he....doesn't care about looks. and he's got the rarest maverick paraphenalia? and he's caring?

*Vibes shrugs*

Vibes (thought): If it turns out his Mum's name is Martha...Well that won't be relevant, my Mum's name was Jane.

Vibes: *she reaches for a tainted take away....but stops* maybe.....maybe i'll be fine with just a bagel today *she smiles*
