Veneer sighed, glancing at his phone as the prolonged argument with Velvet continued. The question of the birthday cake flavor seemed to have transformed into a never-ending debate.
"I don't know, Veneer! Just get me something... sweet and fabulous," Velvet replied with an air of indifference.

Veneer hesitated for a moment, realizing he was about to reveal his identity. "Uh, yeah. I need to order a birthday cake."
"Absolutely! We've got a variety of flavors. What's the birthday person's favorite?" Felix asked.
Veneer glanced at Velvet, who shrugged nonchalantly. Panicking a bit due to his fame, He didn't want to get swarmed by fans while trying to get the cake into the car, Veneer stammered, "Just make it something sweet and surprise me. Oh, and put it under the name 'V' for the order."
"Sure thing! 'V' it is. We'll make it extra special. Anything else?" Felix inquired.
Veneer, relieved to have settled on something, shook his head. "No, that's it. Thanks."
As he hung up, Velvet smirked, "'V,' huh? Trying to be discreet, are we?" she teased.
Veneer rolled his eyes, "It's not about being discreet. It's about avoiding unnecessary shit."
With the cake order settled, Veneer contemplated the upcoming celebration.
"That took forever." Velvet comments, "YOU TOOK FOREVER!" Veneer snaps, Annoyed and stressed about the party. "Okay, whatever. C'mon I need help picking my outfit for tomorrow." Velvet said, sauntering off towards her bedroom.
