Everyone Likes Ice Cream
Who: Clark Meeks and Sugar Motta ( @usecodesugar ) Where: ChezSugar When: December, 30, 2019 What: Ice cream and talks. TW: Mentions of drugs, mentions of petty theft
Clark
Clark had been thinking about ice cream since the other night when they were talking about it with Sugar. So they decided to get some and share it with the other girl. They stopped by a nearby gas station and when they noticed that the cashier wasn't in the front, they shook their head before walking back to the freezer section and grabbing a carton of chocolate and a carton of cookie dough before walking right back out to their car without paying. Sugar didn't need to know that though. So grabbing a generic plastic bag out of the collection of bags, they threw them in there before making their way to Sugars house. Once they got the code, they made their way up to the front porch of the giant mansion and waited to be let in.
Sugar
Sugar had spent most of the day preparing for the party the next night and spending time with Simon, who was going to the puppy spa tomorrow so he wasn’t underfoot at the party. When Clark texted, she had been lounging around in her underwear watching Great British Bake Off. Smiling, she jumped up and rummaged for an old pair of juicy sweats and a Dior tshirt, throwing them on, she made her way downstairs to let Clark in, Simon at her heels. “Hi!” She chirped, opening the door wide enough for Clark to enter.
Clark
Clark smiled at the girl and entered the house. "What do you do with so much space" they asked as they looked around at the giant entrance they just walked into. Shaking their head, they lifted the bag in their hand and smirked. "I got chocolate I got cookie dough" they offered as they followed Sugar through the giant house.
Sugar
“Stretch” she laughed, stretching her arms out to the side for emphasis. Simon yapped. “This is Simon!” She picked up the small bichpoo and smiled, hoping Clark wasn’t afraid of or allergic to dogs. “Plus he needs lots of space, he’s very big and brave!” She laughed. “Come on.” She led Clark through the foyer and living room into the large kitchen, setting Simon back down so she could grab some spoons.
Clark
Clark chuckled at the girl and nodded. “You definitely have the space for it” they said as they entered into the kitchen. “Fuck dude. Do you have cooks too?” they asked with a nervous laugh. This was probably the biggest house they had ever been in and they were afraid to touch anything. Looking down at the dog, they laughed. “This is the perfect dog for you. Obviously needs all the space in the world” they joked as the grabbed one of the spoons being offered.
Sugar
Looking around the room, Sugar shrugged, it was always interesting to her, having new people over. She got a fresh perspective of how unusually lavish her every day life actually was. “No, just a maid, she does most of my cooking too though, and Mercedes cooks for me.” She gestured for Clark to follow her. “You wanna watch a movie or something?” She asked, leading Clark back across the living room into the less formal media room. “Also, congrats on being the only person to see the party set up, not even Finn has seen it.”
Clark
Clark followed the girl into the media room and shook their head. They had been in apartments smaller than the room alone. Turning back to the girl before looking around slightly, they hummed. "It looks good. I'm actually pretty stoked about it. Keep telling everyone that this is the only place to be. Though I may have to make an appearance at my sisters place for a second since apparently she's throwing a party too" they said as they rolled their eyes. Sitting down next to Sugar, they opened the top of the cookie dough ice cream and started digging in. "Whaddya wanna watch?" they asked with a mouth full of ice cream
Sugar
Sugar smiled, she liked Clark, they were nice and chill, which she never wanted to say no to in her life. “Thanks! And it will be. Hopefully I have enough swag bags set up.” She flopped on the larger couch and helped herself to the chocolate ice cream, dipping her spoon in. “I dunno, what kind of movies do you like?” Simon sniffed hopefully at the carton but huffed when Sugar pushed him away, curling himself into a donut at the other end of the couch.
Clark
Clark raised an eyebrow. “Is that how you get people to come to your parties? Swag bags?” they joked before reaching their spoon over to the chocolate tub and taking a giant spoonful. Stuffing their face with chocolate, the shrugged before answering, again with a mouth full of food. “Horror. Or psychological thrillers” they said only it probably came out more muffled.
Sugar
Rolling her eyes, Sugar gave an exaggerated fake laugh, and in turn reached over and took a glob of cookie dough from Clark’s carton. “You know, you’re more liable to choke when you talk with your mouth full.” She said dryly, though truthfully Sugar liked that Clark was a change from her usually well mannered friends, even Finn so far had been extra careful around her to be very polite, Clark made no apologies, which was nice.
Clark
Clark shrugged. “Yeah but then you gotta wait for me to finish eating and that takes a while sometimes” they said before taking another bite. Once they finished it, making sure to take their time, the grinned at their new friend. “See how long that took? Way too long. Just say what you gotta say when you gotta say it” they explained. “And if you didn’t understand before I said horror or psychological thrillers.”
Sugar
“I heard you.” Sugar said, picking up the remote and turning on the large tv and scrolling through their options. “So, what else do I need to know about you, besides you’re homeless, have good taste in lingerie, will sleep with anyone but don’t date and you’re pretty easy on the eyes?” She asked, taking another spoonful of ice cream.
Clark
Clark chuckled. "I'm not homeless. I live in my car. My car is my home. Therefore, not homeless" they argued. Raising an eyebrow at that last comment, Clark decided to let it slide due to the fact that she had a boyfriend and would probably not want to deal with their flirtatious side. "I dunno. I'm going to school to study set design and welding. I'm kinda a theatre nerd. I smoke. I wake up every morning between 5 and 5:30. I dunno. What do you wanna know?" they asked before digging back into the ice cream.
Sugar
Sugar nodded along, this was all good information. “That’s really cool! What do you want to do, work on broadway?” She asked, taking another bite of her ice cream. “And also how do you go to school when you move around so much? Like online?” She wrinkled her nose at the idea of being up so early, she had always been a night owl. “Like, on purpose?!” She took another bite, thinking. “What’s your favorite color? What’s your least favorite vegetable? Do you want to live in an actual house someday?”
Clark
Clark shrugged their shoulders and hemmed and hawed for a moment. “I dunno, maybe? Or just like local theatres. I just wanted to work with my hands. I don’t wanna end up stuck in an office some where” they explained before shaking their head. “I haven’t started yet. I’ll be a 23 year old freshman. I start next week” they explained. Chuckling, they nodded. “Yeah, I average 3-5 hours of sleep a night. I also live for naps. But the 530 quiet is my favorite time of day” they admitted. Taking another bite, they hummed in thought before swallowing and then answering the question. “Purple and green. Brussel sprouts. Not really but if I was going to it would be a tiny home that I actually had a hand in building” they answered honestly.
Sugar
Sugar reached over and grabbed some more cookie dough while Clark spoke. “I see. Well that’s cool! I never went to college for anything. So does that mean you’ll be in Doveport for a while then?” She didn’t really understand the concept of not wanting to settle down anywhere, as much as she loved traveling, it was always a comfort to come home to her own bed after a while. “So I guess since you’re not into dating you’re not too worried about having a family someday?”
Clark
Clark shrugged. "I dunno. Either until I finish my degree or I decide to quit" they admitted honestly. Taking another bite of ice cream, Clark shook their head. "I mean, I'd love to have a family some day. I just never wanna carry a kid. And my family has to want to travel with me. But I'm 23 right now. That's not something I want like, next week or whatever" the explained honestly.
Sugar
"That's cool." Sugar said, she took another bite of ice cream, looking down and realizing the tub was already half finished. "I feel that, I'm not sure I want to be pregnant either, but I do want kids someday. But like, if you have a family, will they also live in your car? Or I guess that's why you want to build that tiny house..." She mused, taking another bite and thinking. "I may have more questions later... what do you need to know about me?"
Clark
Clark nodded. “Yeah, Ill have to just live somewhere with a little more square footage. No big deal. But that’s not happening any time soon so I’m not too worried about it” they explained. Setting the half eaten ice cream tub down, they thought for a moment before responding. “What’s your dream job? What’s something not many people know about you. And if you could travel anywhere, where would you wanna go. Careful with that last one. There are wrong answers” they joked.
Sugar
With a final bite, Sugar set her carton aside and thought about Clark’s questions. “Well, I already have my dream job... something not many people know... um... I eat a LOT of sweets, but I’ve never had a cavity.” It wasn’t the most exciting answer, but it was all she could think of off the top of her head. “And I’ve traveled a ton of places, I guess I’m supposed to pick somewhere I’ve never been? So... the giraffe hotel in Kenya. Was that a right answer?” She laughed.
Clark
Clark raised an eyebrow at her. “Oh yeah? Then what is it that you do?” the asked before humming. “That’s impressive. Though I feel you should knock on wood now” they said with a chuckle. Grinning, they nodded. “That was definitely a correct answer. I wanna go there too some day. I just wanna travel across the pond honestly” they said wistfully.
Sugar
Sugar smiled, it always surprised her when her name didn’t precede her. “I’m an Instagram influencer. If something were to happen with that, I dunno, maybe a party planner or just... a housewife?” She lifted her eyebrows. “You’ve never been to Europe?! We should go sometime!” She chirped, she loved traveling almost as much as she loved shopping.
Clark
Clark raised their eyebrow again and shifted to face Sugar a bit more. “So wait, how does this influencer thing work? Like, you post pictures and get paid?” they asked, confused. Clark shook their head. “I’ve spend the past 5 years driving, climbing and hiking through America and Canada. I have a bunch of stuff the world to see” they said excitedly.
Sugar
“Yeah, basically. I just signed a few new sponsorship contracts for the new year. I get paid for each post I make featuring something I’m sponsored for... and if they give me a code I get paid for the code use as well.” Sugar shrugged. “That’s really cool though, I’m not really a big hiker, but I do love to travel all over! What’s the best place you’ve ever been and what’s the worst?”
Clark
“Huh” Clark stated. “I feel like it’s probably way more complicated then it sounds but sweet. Sounds like a pretty chill gig. Do you get free stuff too? Wait, you’re not one of those influencers who like demand free stuff for ‘exposure’ or whatever, right?!” they asked, remembering a few times they came across people like that and they hated those people greatly. Thinking for a moment, Clark nodded to themself before they answered. “Favorite place probably the Black Hills in South Dakota. Worst? Ugh, that’s hard. I’m gonna day Knoxville but only because the people there are assholes and we weren’t allowed to stay very long. It’s gorgeous but no one would let us park anywhere and any time the cops saw us in town they found some reason to pull us over. It wasn’t worth it” they explained.
Sugar
Sugar shook her head. “All I did was post on my insta a lot about my life and got a bunch of followers and then companies started reaching out to me and then that was that. I get free stuff to post about, but no, I don’t ask for free stuff beyond that unless  I’m cutting a deal for payment. I can afford to buy my own stuff.” She laughed. Sugar nodded along with Clark, furrowing her brow at the part where they said their least favorite place. “I’ve never been to Knoxville, I wonder why they were like that...” she mused earnestly, picking her ice cream back up.
Clark
Clark listened to Sugar explain her "job" and nodded as she spoke. "How many followers you got? Because I thought I had a lot but damn dude" they said jokingly. Rolling their eyes, they adjusted themselves on the couch and got serious for a moment. "Dude...the south is not safe for people like me. I look gay as fuck and they don't like that down there. It's scary sometimes" they said honestly, eyes wide.
Sugar
"Almost a hundred and fifty thousand..." Sugar said. She chewed her lip as Clark spoke, she'd never really thought about it, always being pretty feminine in appearance, and most people just assuming she was straight anyways. "But I feel like you could... pass..." She paused, unsure if she was using the word correctly. "Either way! I mean, you looked hot in that suit!" She insisted.
Clark
Clark whistled lowly. "Well damn dude. You're like a fricken Kardashian or some shit" they joked. Running a hand through their hair, Clark sighed slightly. "I don't pass for nothing. My voice is too high to make me look like a dude and my hair is too short and my muscles are too big to make me a girl. Which is fine cuz I'm neither anyway but like, people in the south don't get that" they explained.
Sugar
Sugar laughed, she was no where near Kardashian status, yet, but she hoped to surpass them someday. "I guess I never really thought about it... but you're okay, right? Like, you weren't hurt or anything..." Sugar wasn't really sure she "got" it completely either, but she had been raised to believe that everyone was equal and that every person mattered. She didn't like the idea of her new friend being hurt just for existing.
Clark
Clark shrugged. "Not in Knoxville. I've been in a few fights before, though. And I didn't win all of them that's for sure. But I'm scrappy. I can take care of myself" they said, straightening up a bit as they said it.
Sugar
Without warning, Sugar shifted herself and leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Clark in a hug. Clark needed a hug. "I'm sure you can." She said, her arms still around them.
Clark
Clark was kinda taken aback by the hug but eventually wrapped their arms around the other girl as well. "The road isn't for everyone. You gotta be able to take care of yourself. And some places don't like outsiders. But I'm fine. Promise" they said softly to the girl.
Sugar
She pulled away slowly, smiling softly at Clark. "Well, I hope you stay in Doveport for a while then, you already passed the one and only test we have." She said. "Be hot and get me to like you!"
Clark
Clark chuckled and pulled one hand up in front of them before high fiving it with the other hand. "sweet I love passing tests" they joked, laughing as they said it. "Besides, it's hard not to like me. I'm cool as shit" they said, shrugging their shoulders
Sugar
Sugar sat back, Clark was a lot like Puck, she was finding, and she didn't hate that. "I mean, you're okay let's not get ahead of ourselves here." She joked. Suddenly Simon popped his head up and he stood and stretched before hopping down and trotting out of the room.
Clark
Clark laughed at Sugar's comment. "Way to put someone in their place. Damn dude" they joked. Watching the dog leave, Clark raised an eyebrow at Sugar. "Is it trying to tell you something?" they asked.
Sugar
With a laugh, Sugar tucked her legs under herself. "He probably just has to go out." She shrugged. "So, what led you to this nomad life? Where are you from originally?"
Clark
Clark leaned back into the couch and shrugged. "Born and raised in Doveport. My best friend and I grew up talking about traveling and when we hit senior year, we decided to do it. So between studying and shit, we planned to travel to every state and once we did that, we kinda just kept going" they explained.
Sugar
Sugar shook her head. "Wait, hold on, you're from here?! How did we not already know each other?" She felt bamboozled, sure she had been a little stuck up and cliquy in high school, but she wasn't blind. She probably would have even been attracted to Clark back then.
Clark
Clark shrugged. "I had longer hair back then. And I really only hung out with Deni. Or with the theatre nerds. I wasn't popular or anything" they explained before scratching the back of their neck. "I was also still going by my legal name and shit" they said with a shrug.
Sugar
"Oh." She nodded, maybe they'd had a class together or something and she didn't realize, Sugar figured it was rude to ask what Clark's legal name was, didn't really matter anyway. "I like the short hair, it suits you!"
Clark
Clark nodded as they ran a hand through it. "I cut it two days after we left. It was freeing. I hated how long it was but my mom wouldn't let me get it cut. I don't think she wanted to admit that I was gay as fuck" they said with a laugh. Seeing the curiosity in Sugar's eye, they shrugged. "Christine. Christine Meeks" they told the girl.
Sugar
"Oh." Sugar said again, it was proving to be a very educational night. "When I came out to my dad, he was pretty cool about it, I wish all parents were like my dad. He's the best!" She wrinkled her nose at the name. "Clark is much better! Meeks... oh, your sister works at Bank, yeah?"
Clark
Clark shrugged. "They're cool now. But I'm the baby of the family so I think they just wanted whats "best for me" or whatever" they explained. Chuckling, the nodded. "Yeah. I'm gonna stick with Clark. And yes. Apparently she's the manager or whatever. She still calls me Christine unless people have asked her otherwise. I haven't really told my family yet" they said with a shrug.
Sugar
"So, wait, if you're from here, why don't you just stay at your parents' house, or with your sister? I mean, do you really enjoy sleeping in your car every single night?! Do you just have a chiropractor on retainer?" Sugar asked, the questions bubbling out of her before she could consider if it was rude to ask.
Clark
Clark rolled their eyes. They knew they'd be answering these questions forever so they might as well get used to it. "I sleep on a full sized memory foam mattress. I change it out once a year. It's quite comfortable. So yeah, it's not that bad. I enjoy it at least. It only kinda sucks when it's below freezing outside" they explained honestly.
Sugar
"I guess that doesn't sound that bad. But seriously, you're always welcome to use my driveway, or one of my guest rooms, I have a ton! Well, like, 3... my dad has more. But anyways. Where do you like shower? What do you do if you have to pee in the middle of the night?"
Clark
Clark nodded. "I may take you up on that. Depends on how dickish the cops are here" they said. Shaking their head with a smile, they brought up a hand to count off their answers. "Gym, or I have a camping shower that I can use in a bind. And I just go in a bush or whatever. I got a thing that helps me pee while standing" they said with a nod. "But I only sleep for like 3-5 hours a night but when I'm asleep I'm passed the fuck out so I don't usually wake up needing to pee"
Sugar
Nodding along to Clark's answers, Sugar made mental notes. She still didn't understand the appeal, she adored her house, and having a tub and a full kitchen and room for all her stuff, but she could respect that not everyone wanted the same kind of lifestyle. "Yeah, you've mentioned that, why is that? Is it like insomnia?"
Clark
Clark shrugged. "I dunno. I think I just have too much energy. It's why I hike and climb and stuff. Which, I'm gonna have to find other things to do here since we're on fucken flat land" they complained. "I just like being active and working with my hands and what not. If I went to a doctor they'd probably say I had insomnia or something though. I'm just used to it."
Sugar
Sugar shrugged. "Hm, that's interesting. I love sleep! But, I think the gym has a rock wall you can climb, if you want. I'm not really much for exercise. I like to do stuff with Finn, and I take a spin class once a week, but most for Instagram, but aside from that I get my exercise in by shopping and eating." She laughed.
Clark
Clark shrugged back. “I’ll have to check it out. Hopefully they do. Though I don’t mind driving out a bit to get my climb on. And we’re on the ocean. I can take my kayak out too” they said. Chuckling, they shook their head. “I don’t think that counts as exercise but sure let’s go with it.”
Sugar
"The fuck is a kayak?" Sugar asked, furrowing her brow. Seriously, people came up with all kinds of crazy words for stuff that was really just code for not that fun. "Is that like yogalates?" She grinned and sat up straight, putting her hands on her hips. "Listen you don't get this body without some serious cardio! And shopping gets my heart pumping!"
Clark
Clark shook their head and pulled out their phone to show them a picture of their boat. “It’s a one person boat dude. Kinda like a canoe only better” they explained. Putting their phone away, the laughed. “Do you carry your own bags? I feel like that’s the only way to believe you get your cardio while shopping”
SugarLast
Furrowing her brow again, Sugar looked at the picture. It looked like zero percent fun, but she was sure most of the things she found enjoyable, Clark would be bored to tears by, so to each their own. She rolled her eyes. "You've seen me shop, you know I carry my own bags. And that was shopping light! You should see me when I really get going." She laughed.
Clark
Clark shrugged. “I dunno. Maybe I came on a day when your bag cattier was off or something. How am I supposed to know” they said. “Though I dunno if I could do a full day of shopping with ya honestly. I’d probably pass out by lunch. You walk too fast”
Sugar
Sugar laughed and shook her head. "No, I carry my own bags, maybe one day if I go shopping with Finn I could get him to carry some, but mostly it's all me. And yes, I do, but to be fair, you caught me at the end of the year. The week after Christmas is when I have to do my heavy duty shopping to make sure my AMEX stays active." She explained.
Clark
Clark shook their head. "I've never had a credit card in my life. And I don't plan on getting one any time soon. I'm pretty sure the only reason I have credit is because I have to pay my phone bill every month and I paid my car off last year. I don't understand how people spend hundreds of dollars on a credit card. It makes no sense to me. I feel like it's just a middle man. If you have the money, just spend it out right. Why pay to use a card to spend your money?" they asked, completely ignorant to the importance of credit cards
Sugar
Shrugging, Sugar nodded her head. “Yeah I don’t really know the point either, but my business manager thinks I should use it, and sometimes it is easier. I usually just use it for dinners, gifts and vacations, that kind of thing. But I have to spend a minimum of a hundred grand a year to keep it, so if I get past Christmas and I’m not there yet, I treat myself to a lil shopping spree.” She giggled. “Otherwise I just use cash, the only other card I have is my maid’s.”
Clark
Clark shook their head. "Sounds way too complicated. Especially having a business manager involved in it. How many people you got telling you what to do?" the asked curiously. "I'm happy to just use cash. I only recently got a bank account because the school requires you to have one so you can pay them and shit. I really just like using cash. Flying under the radar" they explained honestly with a shrug.
Sugar
“I’ve just always had one, he’s my dad’s too.” Sugar shrugged again. “Telling me what to DO? Ummm... 5? Including my dad and Mercedes.” She laughed. “Cash is easier, just take what you need out each week and call it a day.” She lifted an eyebrow. “Why do you gotta fly under the radar? You on the run?”
Clark
Clark shook their head. "That's way too many people telling you what to do. I couldn't do it. I like doing my own thing." Laughing, they shook their head. "Why does everyone think I'm on the run. No. I just work short term gigs so people just usually pay me under the table in cash so they don't gonna pay taxes for someone who only worked two weeks" the explained. Shrugging their shoulders, they stretched. "I live in my car. I like living simply."
Sugar
"It's not that many, I mean, my dad and Cedes... my business manager, my brand manager and the Brigida, but she most only tells me what to do when she's JUST mopped or to get out of her kitchen." Sugar shrugged. "I guess I'm used to it." She laughed. "Because you live in your car and seem so mysterious. We all wanna figure you out. So, you want a small house and a job you can do with your hands." Sugar could hear Kitty's voice in her head whispering 'kinky' and she smiled to herself. "And possibly a family one day, but definitely a dog."
Clark
Clark shrugged. "I'm not trying to be mysterious. I'm an open book. You ask me anything and I'll tell ya. I just try and live a simple life" they argued back calmly. They weren't trying to hide anything from anyone. They just weren't fancy like some people were. Grabbing a tub of ice cream, they went to get some when they noticed it was beginning to melt. "We should get these in the freezer"
Sugar
Sugar smiled. "Ooh, 20 questions, I love games! Earlier you said you smoke, smoke what exactly?" She asked, picking up her own ice cream and grabbing the top for it. She stood and led Clark into the large kitchen, opening the freezer drawer.
Clark
Clark groaned playfully but followed Sugar to the kitchen and threw the ice cream into the freezer. "Cigarettes. Weed. I also do coke on occasion" they said with a shrug.
Sugar
Sugar's eyebrows shot up. "Coke? Really? What's that like?!" She asked, now curious. Sugar wasn't against the idea of recreational drug use, per se, but had never had the opportunity to do more than smoke a couple of joints in high school, and the occasional edible now.
Clark
Clark shrugged. "It's different for everyone. I started taking it to help me stay awake at night. I enjoy taking it when I'm having sex with people. Sometimes I just do it to do it. I like how it makes me feel. I dunno. It's hard to explain" the said with a shrug. "I have some if you ever wanna try" the said as they leaned against the counter nonchalantly
Sugar
"Hmmm." Sugar hummed, nodding along. "Nah, I'm okay, but thanks, if I ever change my mind I'll let you know." She lifted herself so she could sit on the island, crossing her ankles together and swinging her legs. "Why did you leave Doveport?"
Clark
Clark shrugged. "I wanted to see the country. And so did Deni. So we went together. And I fell in love with being on the road so I just stayed on the road. Saw different places, did new things, met new people. It was fun. I wanna do it again."
Sugar
Sugar kept nodding, just to show she was listening. "I love to travel too, but... I also love coming home. So, you're gonna leave again when you get your degree?"
Clark
Clark shrugged. "I don't know. Probably. Unless theres a reason for me to stay" she admitted honestly
Sugar
"If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?" She asked next. A whirring sound came from the door off the kitchen and Simon entered through the electric dog door, trotting across the room to his water bowl.
Clark
Clark was about to answer when the dog entered the room. The looked at the dog door for a moment before shaking their head and turning back to Sugar. "Probably Norway. Or New Zealand" they said. "But I really want to see the entire world someday.
Sugar
Noticing Clark's reaction, Sugar chuckled. "Yeah, it's his house, I'm merely allowed to live here to provide treats and belly rubs." She quipped. "New Zealand I have not been to yet, but Norway is absolutely fabulous! We should go sometime. I think my 2020 "resolution" or whatever." She punctuated the word with finger quotes for emphasis. "Is gonna be to travel more. I used to take like 4 or 5 trips a year!"
Clark
"That's a fancy ass door for a dog. The only ones I've ever seen before are the ones that are just a flap or some shit" they explained. Nodding, Clark sighed. "God, I would love to be able to take 4 or 5 trips a year outside of the states. I've only been into Canada. And a Mexico. But there's so much more out there that I wanna see."
Sugar
"It's just got a sensor that matches with his collar so randos don't get in, like bugs or raccoons or stray cats or whatever. I like cats, Simon does not." Sugar laughed. "You've come to the right place then! I'm already planning a trip with Gabi and Peyton, Kitty, and I'm sure Finn and I will take some trips, and now you!" She grinned.
Clark
Clark shook their head. "I'm allergic to cats" they told the girl, in case she was decided to get one any time soon. "I should probably get a real legit passport then, huh?" they said jokingly but the words behind it were serious.
Sugar
Sugar shrugged. "So is Simon. And yes, you definitely should! Everyone should have a valid passport, always!" She said seriously. "We can do Norway and then maybe we can do a big trip to New Zealand! All our friends, and whoever your flavor of the week is then." She teased.
Clark
Clark smiled. "Oh good. I'm not gonna have to stop coming over then" they joked. Chuckling, they shrugged. "I didn't have time or money to get one before we went to Canada so we got fake ones and that's what I've been using ever since. How does one even go about getting a passport?" the asked. Grinning, they nodded. "I'm down. Though I guess I'll have to like someone enough to plan in advance because you can't just be like hey wanna come to New Zealand? We leave tomorrow."
Sugar
Furrowing her brow, Sugar listened. She had never had a fake ID of any kind, never needed one really, but a fake passport was wild. "Well, you apply for one, get your fingerprints done, get your picture taken, pay the fee and wait. We always expedite, so it only takes like 72 hours." She laughed. "Yeah, I'd say someone would need probably a week's notice, at least."
Clark
Clark frowned. “That sounds like a lot of work. Guess I’ll have to get the process started then” they said with a shrug. Tilting their head to the side, they raised an eyebrow. “You got any more questions for me tonight or are you saving the best ones for later?”
Sugar
Sugar could take a hint, and glancing at the clock, she realized it had gotten pretty late. "Nah, I'll save em. Should probably get ready for bed anyways, Simon gets cranky if he doesn't get his full eight hours." She hopped down from the island. "You wanna crash here? Plenty of room!" She offered.
Clark
Clark looked down at the tiny dog and shook their head before shrugging. “Yeah sure. I my car okay on the street or should I move it in your giant ass gated property?” the teases playfully.
Sugar
"Should be fine for one night." Sugar shrugged, leading the way out of the kitchen and out to the grand staircase. "People will probably assume it just belongs to someone's gardener." She headed up the stairs, Simon trotting up ahead of her, heading toward the guest rooms.
Clark
Clark rolled their eyes and followed the girl up the stairs. “I’m not about to start doing people’s gardens though” they argued as they walked into a guest room and stopped. The giant room was bigger than anything they’d ever seen and they shook their head. “This room alone could be a house” they joked.
Sugar
Sugar wrinkled her nose. "This isn't even the size of my guest house..." She gave them a brief tour of the room. "Sheets are new, bathroom is through that door, there's clean towels in there if you want to take a bath or shower or something..." She picked up the remote from the bedside table. "There's all the streaming services in here, watch whatever strikes your fancy.... do you need the wifi password?" She asked.
Clark
Clark shook their head as they took the remote from Sugar. “Sure. I’ll just store it in my phone for whenever I’m over, though I’m pretty sure i’m just gonna crash” they admitted honestly.
Sugar
"It's ChezSugar and the password is usecodsugar all one word." She said with a shrug. "Alrighty, well, I'll just leave you to it!" Sugar smiled and waved as she made her way out of the room and down the hallway to her own master bedroom, Simon already nestled in his regular spot on the bed.
Clark
Clark put the password into their phone before saying goodnight. Looking around, they shook their head before taking a quick shower and heading to bed, moaning slightly when the climbed into the comfortable bed. Setting an alarm, knowing they would probably sleep hard tonight, they chuckled lightly at how similar Sugar and Deni were as they let themselves drift off to sleep
