"Alright! Do we have everything ready!" Yuri asked me enthusiastically, looking over the bag we have.
"Are we sure we should do this? I mean wouldn't it be stalking?" I had second thoughts about what we were about to do.
Earlier today, we noticed how Penelope was acting very bizarre so we decided with our nosy selves to investigate and this includes having to follow her to a date she's having with the root of her problem, Claude. Ever since she met that guy and went head over heels for him, she's been acting strange so we'll have to find answers although it's more of Yuri's idea. Not mine.
"Don't go lying to yourself in your monologue or something! I know for a fact that you're also curious about why this is happening!" He scolded me as if he heard what I was talking about.
"Wait? How did you know that I was semi blaming you in my mind?" I raised an eyebrow to him. Making him roll his eyes at me as he strutted across the room to grab the binoculars. "Just intuition. You always had that look in your eye whenever you're talking shit about someone so I noticed."
Wow? He can just figure that out with the looks in my eyes?
"Anyways bitch are we ready for war?" He grabbed the binoculars from the table to place it on the bag.
"Why do you even have this stuff in your house? This equipment looks like a bunch of spy gear or something." I pointed to the bag full of the tools we were going to use, black disguises that faded with the night sky, hidden cameras, binoculars, flashlights, recorders. Basically, anything you can think of that's used in espionage.
"Yes.. do not ask why I have these things but I have them so shush!" He squinted before grabbing the bag. "Anyways vamonos! We're going to have to spot where those two bitches are if we're going to spy on them."
"Uh.. are you sure we should do this? Wouldn't this be violating their privacy?" My mind still has second thoughts about what we're going to do. I mean if a person I know would just stalk me with this spy equipment I would probably be creeped out."
"Listen." He places his hand on my shoulder "We're doing this for Penelope. You know I'm really worried about her because she's acting that way and as her friends. We are supposed to be there for her like we treat her as one of our siblings, one of our own. So we must do this for her at least."
I squinted my eyes, crossing my arms. "Nice try, but I'm not buying that worried crap of yours. You seriously just want to eavesdrop don't you cause you're such a drama person."
"Ah.. fine.." He lets go of my shoulder. "You got me, yup. I honestly just wanna see what's happening. I might care about Penelope but I actually just wanna learn what's going on cause I'm a nosy bitch." He laughed loudly. Making me facepalm.
Ugh... I am honestly just contemplating why we're exactly friends...
"Anyways we can't exactly turn back now. We're wearing these cute ass black outfits that are able to camouflage to the dark of the night! Surely this should get you into a snooping mood right?" He posed a little with the skin-tight black suit.
"This feels uncomfortable. Also, why do we have the black suit AT THE MIDDLE OF DAY TIME? Don't you think this will just make us more apparent in daylight? Also if we go out like this on time. We'd look like a bunch of idiots." I stretched the skin-tight suit because it was killing me. It's so tight...
"Ugh fine! You can remove the suit! Let's just wear something that's not flashy so that we don't get noticed." He sighed, as we both took off the suits in relief. Honestly, they weren't a good idea, to begin with, so this was a good idea.
Finally, as we removed the suits and got into more comfortable clothing, clothes that aren't too flashy and are very basic to the point that even looking at us is gonna make us unmemorable at all, that's when we realized we were ready to be a bunch of junior spies or something. Trust me, we literally had nothing else to do in our lives.
"Honestly, the fact that we are wasting our time doing this, is kind of sad really. I mean it's a weekend and we can literally spend it by doing something important or something special but here we are trying to spy on some girl's date cause that's just how sad we are. WE LITERALLY GOT NOTHING to do on the weekends." He giggled at his self deprecating jokes.
"Yup... totally got nothing else to do in our lives but meddle with the lives of others." I sighed, as I grabbed the bag closest to me with our supplies.
"Anyways! Let's go and try to search for the girl! So then we can finally put our snooping skills to use baby!" Yuri shouted, grabbing the bag with a phone in his hand as we both exited his room.
Finally, it's now our conquest to go ahead and try to investigate what's happening with Penelope but first, we need to know where she is and that's kind of the problem. We didn't exactly hear where they were going to have the date...
"How are we going to know where the date of Penelope is? She didn't really mention a place or anything so are we just gonna guess or something?" I raised an eyebrow. "Also we don't even know the time of it happening so we could literally just be wandering around for hours not even knowing what's going on," I added.
"Uh, I already know where the bitch is having the date at." He sighed. Giving me a smirk like he's superior or something.
"Wait? What? How? How did you find out about it?" I asked him confused and bewildered.
He yawned, showing me a tweet from his phone saying. "JUST HAVING A DATE WITH MY PRINCE CHARMING CLAUDE AT THE ROSE GARDEN RESTAURANT! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM TREAT ME TO EVERYTHING!"
"You see. The bitch literally doesn't know how to shut the fuck up. SO obviously she's gonna try to flex that fact that she has a date so that she honestly feels better about herself, I mean no offense but she seriously needs to be validated to feel happy but in our case, she told us directly where she is going!" Yuri chuckled.
Finally, this made deep thought about what Yuri said. He said that Penelope lacked self-confidence and that she needed to feel validated all the time and usually, Yuri is right so does that mean that reason Penelope is doing this is because of that?
"Hey Yuri," I spoke suddenly with a serious tone to my voice.
"What?" He asked.
"What do you think is happening with Penelope? I know you're the type of person to be knowledgeable about these kinds of topics so I'm guessing you know your stuff. So tell me, why exactly is Penelope suffering these symptoms..." I inquired him straightforwardly making him hide his mouth before he answered.
"I'm not sure yet my dear. You see I don't really know so much about how Claude works and reacts so I don't particularly have any clue as to why this is happening although I can assure you that we'll find our answers when we do investigate them! So" He offers me his hand as he walked ahead of me. "Shall we go now?" He asked like a gentleman.
I chuckled and accepted his hand, with an uncertain feeling in my gut. "Sure. Let's go to the Rose Garden Restaurant then!"
That's when we finally got onto it! We headed over to Rose Garden and wanted to take a look at the date. Slowly but surely, we used a taxi service to get there with me taking the charge of course since Yuri is so stingy with his money.
"Anyways. Where the heck is this Rose Garden restaurant anyways?" I asked him.
"It's like some sort of fancy-ass restaurant for rich people or something. Pretty sure it's something that we can't afford so don't even try asking what it is." He chuckled as we looked ahead of the road.
The taxi slowly went over to in front of the restaurant as we're finally on the same road. I could see the amounts of rich and sophisticated people in the area. Wow. Now that this is the environment I don't think we'd stand out here since compared to them we look like a bunch of homeless people...
As I looked around the crowds of rich people. A person particularly caught my eye.. that's! It's PENELOPE and a particular man was beside her and it's none other than the root of all of this chaos... Claude Montresor...
