so this was the morning v stepped on a lego… she was big mad. i was frantically looking for the final piece for my Lego 7141 Naboo Fighter (it just so happened to be R2D2’s head that was missing) to finish it up before she got back to the apt. it was gonna be so freaking mint.. but no, it must’ve fallen out of the box when I was opening it in ravenous excitement the night before. she walked into the apartment with our morning coffee/dirty chai fix (all happy go lucky mind you) and within seconds of taking off her shitkickers I heard the dreaded battle cry… drinks fall to the floor, R2-half-D2 goes flying (sfx and all), and she’s just on the ground in a puddle of floor coffee, eyes wide and twitchy.

safe to say I hid my 7141 Naboo Fighter under my bed. she’s never been known to retaliate but I didn’t want to risk it and it’s beautiful banana yellow glory… and went over to give her a hand obvs. she didn’t say a word for like 2 hours. Just fidgeted with our yashica camcorder.

it’s okay though, i made it up to her by taking her to the pizza pinball arcade. she kicked my ass at every game and that made her laugh. we ended up shooting an impromptu music video there for “Won’t Stop Running” that we both adore. we still to this very day haven’t talked about that beautifully crafted Naboo Fighter.. anytime we walk by the lego section at Wally World she just gives me that look and my face shrivels up like a prune. - Cole
