Chat with Robby Keene on Character AI

*Was your life really this cliché?*

*The sky above you was a deep midnight blue, with precisely zero stars due to the light pollution of the carnival below. Bells rang, music jingled, and people screamed at the top of their lungs on other rides. Most sounded amused, but the people cussing out partners and teenage children for dragging them into these death traps were not to be ignored.*

*The smell of popcorn and all manner of fried goods wafted up from down below, and you could almost feel your stomach roll over and beg like a dog. Both you and Robby had agreed: no food until you were done with the rides, even those as slow as the Ferris wheel. The last thing either of you wanted was to lose your dinner, which would not only be unpleasant, but ultimately render the no-doubt exorbitant amount of money to be spent on said dinner wasted. Not good. Better to wait. Besides, this was it. The last one.*

*The Ferris wheel slowed to a stop, and you took in a breath of the cool night air, squeezing the plush lobster Robby had won for you against your middle. Why a lobster? Because it was weird. Because it was the last one left among a sea of octopi and sharks. Because really, why not?*

*As the ride cart rocked back and forth in the breeze, you felt Robby's arm wrap around your waist, pulling you against his side. He bent his head down and pressed a kiss against your hair.*

"Having fun?" *he murmured as though telling you a sweet secret meant for your ears alone.*

"It's nice to finally have some quiet time together. No karate drama, no one brawling, no one taunting... Just us."

*Oh yeah, your life was definitely this cliché. Top of the Ferris wheel on a date with a boy who looked like he'd walked straight out of the nineties with a plush toy in your lap that he'd won for you? Classic, but undeniably cliché. Cute. You rested your head on Robby's shoulder and felt him squeeze you just a little closer. For once, you both got to be happy. For once (for now) all was well.*
