"I'm telling you, that's not gonna pan out well."
"What?! Why not?"
"Because he's a nine-year-old pacifist! Not a war-mongering child!"
"Oh come on! You're telling me you wouldn't want to go axe-throwing? Even as a pacifist?"
"I don't want to-!"
"I said a pacifist, Utah. You're not a pacifist." Oklahoma crossed her arms judgmentally. "Also, I think it's a good time to bring up the fact that I was stuck in a nine-year-old's body before we all became adults."
Utah huffed and looked away. "Can't believe you're pulling that card."
"Hey, it's a good card!" Oklahoma's expression softened. "C'mon, you can tell me what's wrong."
"It's- look, I just want Drew to have a good birthday. Not that your idea is bad! I just want-"
"To keep him safe? I'm not gonna put him in a position where he's gonna be in danger. It's gonna be safe."
Utah sighed defeatedly. "I know, I know. I'm just worried, okay? I don't wanna, you know, mess him up. He's already been through a lot."
"We're not gonna mess him up by letting him throw a few axes. Trust me, he can handle it."
"He's just a kid, though-"
"So we should let him be a kid! Come on, we'll be there with him, and if it's not us, then it's someone else responsible enough to take care of him. As long as it's not Florida, we shouldn't be worried."
Utah nodded. "Okay, fine. Speaking of, where is Drew anyways?"
Oklahoma frowned. "I don't know." She pulled out her communicator and sent a message.
Oklahoma: Heywhohasdrew?
Florida: I do
Oklahoma and Utah looked at each other. "Oh no," they said simultaneously.
The two of them rushed away and as Oklahoma sent another text.
Oklahoma: Where are you guys
Florida: By the warer *wafer *water Jfc that should not have taken so long
