Summer wanted to work on her tan, something that was difficult to do in San Francisco. So she thought returning to Newport for a few days was a good idea. At least she thought this until she walked into her room. She was so started by what she saw that she let out a yelp.
"What's wrong, what's going on?!" Taylor shouted, barreling into her room with what looked like a gun.
"Omigod, you have a gun in my house?!"
"Summer?" Taylor blinked. "Wasn't expecting you. And don't worry, it's just a flare gun."
"Why would you...never mind," Summer said, shaking her head. Because honestly, Taylor owning a flare gun was very...Taylor. "Why is there
a giant cardboard cutout of some cartoon character in my room?"
"Comic book character," Taylor corrected. "That's Little Miss Vixen from Atomic County. I got it at Comic Con for you. And an action figure."
"Atomic County? Isn't that the comic Cohen created that, like, failed spectacularly." And why did she remember that?
Taylor shrugged. "It's got a small cult following. And, I don't know, it's cute, don't you think?"
"She looks trashy," Summer replied, making a face.
Taylor raised an eyebrow, and it seemed like she wanted to say something. Summer wasn't quite sure why her friend opted to remain speechless, but she was going to enjoy the silence while it lasted.
[I had to!]
