"VANTINAA!!!"
"You're yelling at ME? I bet you're the one who missplaced it and just forgot Yuyu!"
"Oh no, no, no. Now you're gaslighting me too?! You better not be trying to pull a 'hehe funni' moment on me!"
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH THE PUZZLE!"
Voices raise louder. Rugs, end tables, floor lamps are all laying on the floor in a chaotic mess. And at the middle of it all, is Vezalina sitting on the living room couch watching the chaos unfold with a smirk on her face. Just over an hour ago, Yuki and Vantina were sitting on the living room floor around the coffee table, working on a 500 piece puzzle, while Vezalina sat on the couch; half watching and half messing on her phone. About halfway through, Yuki went to go use the bathroom while Vantina went into the kitchen to get a slip of water. Vezalina, now out of sight of the others, hatches her plan. She gets up from the couch, grabs a single puzzle piece, puts it in her pocket, and sits back down. She then goes back to being on her phone, paitently waiting for the girls to come back. She was in no rush, she was here for the long game.
Yuki had long gone past the point of unsanity; looking everywhere she can think of for the one missing piece. They had almost finished the puzzle, except for that one piece. And it was driving her mad.
"Vantina... I swear to all that is holy, if you tell me where you hid the piece right now, I might consider not punching you in the face." Yuki says, but her tone makes it clear to Vantina that even if she did somehow tell her, it wouldn't change a thing. "I'm being so for real right now, I have no clue where it is! I want to finish this puzzle as bad as you do!" Vantina pleaded to Yuki. And it wasn't like she was lying or exaggerating. Normally Vantina was totally chill and laid back about most things, but something about being so close yet so far to finishing the puzzle pressed her buttons. "Y'know, I feel like I'M getting gaslite. Maybe YOU'RE the one who hid the piece and are trying to pull one on me!" Vantina said while lifting up the right side of the TV stand. Yuki, who was looking behind a book shelf, freezes. "I.. excuse me? Do you think I find this enjoyable?" Yuki turns to face Vantina. "You know how much of a neat freak I am, this is hurting my soul! Why in the world would I do this to myself?!" "I don't know, maybe to get on my nerves?!" Yuki didn't take that too lightly. "OH HO HO, GET ON YOUR NERVES??? THAT'S REAL FUNNY COMING FROM YOU." "YEAH, ACTUALLY, IT IS REAL FUNNY SEEMING AS YOU'RE STILL TRYING TO PIN THIS ON ME." Vantina raises her voice again, but this time her voice is dripping with anger instead of confusion.
This goes on for five more minutes. They argue while looking for the piece, stop looking to have a scream-off, get so mad they ignore each other and go back to looking, and end up in an arguement again. For Yuki, it's unsufferable. For Vantina, it's torture. For Vezalina, however? It's the funniest shit in the world. Multiple times she had almost gave herself up, because she she felt sort of bad for them. But then they would get even angrier and she called against it. But eventually, Vezalina noticed that they were starting to border the line between "I hate you so much for pranking me" upset and "no like I'm actually pissed with you" upset, so she finally had to give herself away. She took a deep breath, tried not to laugh, and cleared her throat.
"YOU KNOW THIS IS WHY OUR MINECRAFT RUN ENDED!!"
"THE WAY YOU'RE GASLIGHTING ME IS JUST HOW YOU GASLITE YOURSELF INTO THINKING YOU DIDN'T KILL LAMBERT!"
"OH YEAH? WELL YOU-"
"Ahem." Vezalina interrupted. "Finally! Tell Vantina to give back the last piece so I can finally kick her ass!" Yuki exclaimed, happy to have Vezalina step in to help prove her point. "Uh, no, Vezalina tell YUKI to give back the piece and to stop gaslighting me!" Vantina stated, sure that Vezalina would help her prove Yuki wrong. Vezalina didn't do anything for a few seconds, which worried both Yuki and Vantina. "Uh, Zal? You good?" Yuki asked. "Yeah, you doing okay?" Vantina added. Vezalina stood up from the couch, reached into her pocket and pulled out the piece.
"I had it the whole time guys."
[10 minutes later]
"Guuuyysss! I said I was sorryyy!" Vezalina whined for the probably hundreth time. She was in a maid dress, and her face was the color of a tomato. She was standing right infront of the couch, where both Yuki and Vantina sat, who both looked very smug. "I know I made you guys upset, but c'mon! This is just pure torture at this point!" "Now, c'mon Zal, that's not what we agreed on. Go on, say the line." Yuki said teasingly. "I- but! I can't-" "You can't what? Say the thing, Zal, or I'll make sure that all of EN gets the photo we took of you. I'm sure they'll be really happy to see you like this." Vantina says, not giving Vezalina any choice. "I-I-I! Fine!!" Vezalina takes a breath, gives a bow and says in a shakey, embarressed voice:
"I am Vezalina, the puzzle piece theif and Yuki and Vantina's maid for the day. How do you wish for me to care for you, mademoiselles?"
