Two Days To Anaheim

Summary:

Dirk's gotta get to Anaheim, but he can't make it on his own. He needs to enlist the help of Jake's cousin--some guy named John Egbert.

(previously titled "Pure and Simple". "Two Days To Anaheim" was just a way cooler name.)

Chapter 1: Introduction

Chapter Text

TT: Hey Jake.

 

GT: Oh, hello my friend! What’s on your mind?

 

TT: Nothin’ much. Got tickets for the tournament in Anaheim. They were like, 2 dollars. I’m broke now.

 

GT: Peachy!

 

TT: Only got one problem now.

 

GT: What’s that?

 

TT: Not sure my old rust bucket can take me down there. Really shitty planning on my part, but at least I wasn’t gonna use those 2 dollars on anything.

 

GT: Actually, that’s funny.

 

TT: I’m intrigued.

 

GT: My cousin was just popping down to Anaheim in a couple days. Would you have been leaving this weekend? Y’know, if your car hadn’t jammed all up.

 

TT: Yeah. You saying he should take me? Because I’m not really that thrilled about driving for 18 hours with some guy I don’t know. He might have some magical cocaine candy in his unmarked white van or something. Either figuratively or literally.

 

GT: Nonsense! I’m sure you’d get along just fine. Don’t you wanna see your game?

 

TT: I must admit, the idea of adventure is equally alluring and terrifying.

 

GT: That’s the spirit! I’ll tell him to pick you up once he leaves home.

 

TT: I didn’t think it was settled that quickly.

 

GT: Don’t you worry. You’ll have loads of fun. Besides, I’ll be alright without you!

 

TT: I feel like you’re trying to get rid of me.

 

GT: No! Not at all.


TT: You can tell me if I’m being too clingy, you know.

 

GT: You’re fine, Dirk. Go attend to your shenanigans.

 

TT: You sure?

 

GT: As sure as I can be!

 

TT: Guess I should start packing, huh.

 

GT: Right you are.
