Strider! Are you holding it steady?

[There's a loud roar from her Charizard in reply. The video feed is truly magnificent. Her Dragonite is lying on her stomach lazily as Terezi stands on top of her proudly. She doesn't have shoes on but she's holding her cane like it were a scepter and she's got her shirt and dragon cape on. She's also not wearing pants. Nope. No pants. Instead, she is showing off a pair of boxers with card suit designs printed on them. She is cackling and looking the most regal on top of her Dragonite.]

He thought I couldn't do it! But look. I have acquired the undergarments of one, Dave Strider, coolkid extraordinaire! I have done what no male or female has ever done before. I am now wearing my prize proudly upon my rump.

I think I enjoy this prize so much that he isn't getting it back? What do you think? Should I return this to him later or keep it as a reminder that he has been bested?

[She actually stole them while he was in the shower. But semantics. He never said she couldn't.

Yeah. If you're in Cerulean, you'll probably catch her walking around in said undergarments. Pants are for squares and for people who are socially acceptable in public.]

Because I've done similar in the past, so I don't see why I'd dissuade someone having harmless panty-boxer raiding fun.

You've what. [He really shouldn't be surprised. He really shouldn't. Oh my god mom why.]

What? You didn't think I'd pass up a chance when it arises, did you? [Because she's awesome that's why.]

[There are those moments that answering a question is dangerous. Dave recognizes that and by passes it as typical of his idiom.] Yeah I realized that the moment I opened my mouth. You miss a chance like that? Nah.

[A pause. There are bridges too far and he's eyeing one like most cats eye the far banister. Will he make it?] ...Did you do it to Bro?

[And he misses with a yowl at his failure.]

[There's a glint in her eyes.]

Not yet. It's only a matter of time, though. That's a secret between the two of us, though.

[Yes, that might be a hint of evilness in her grin.]

Why would I even voice this plan? It's not something I'm going to watch for. [That would just make it take forever to happen and this could be the best blackmail this side of paradox space.]

I see where Rose gets it from. [And maybe a bit of himself in that.]

I did have to pass something down to her, other than a charming personality.

[And a predisposition to alcoholism but YA KNOW....]

You know you're going to have to spring when Bro is completely unguarded. Right?

Of course. It'll take some careful planning, but it won't be impossible.

Anything with him is going to take 'careful' planning. The man's a mysterious fucker who seems to know everything before it even gets started. [He pauses, realizing he's acting like he has no faith in her.]

But if anyone can raise Bro's boxers up on the flagpole. It's you.

[Mom ruffles his hair affectionately.]

I won't let you down, sweetie. It's possible I'm unpredictable enough to give me a slight edge against him.
