mike and will wanted to voyage to their local home town skating rink after watching the winter olympics
mike pitches the idea, “hey, as Best Friends™ i think we should go skate, i mean at the ice rink or whatever.”
will looks at mike with confusion
“when have you ever wanted to ice skate mike.” he asks.
will doesn’t get an answer, he asks “hello?? mike?”
after mike finally stops acting lobotomized he answers “oh, well i just thought it would be fun for winter break.”
“alright then” will continues “i guess we can, but you aren’t bringing anyone else, right?”
mike lets out a loud laugh “of course not, we are Best Friends™!!!”
will lets out a frustrated sigh.
“alright, whatever. let’s go then”
they get to the skating rink and there are like a bunch of people there
“we are here Friends™!!!” mike announces.
“oh hi!!” some random person yells at mike.
“who is that?” mike wonders.
it’s alysa liu.
will gasps “oh wow, it’s alysa liu! from the olympics”
alysa looks at them, she lowk can tell that mike and will are gay or whatever.
“what brings you to the skating rink?” alysa inquires
“oh just like… were like friends so, actually Best Friends™..” mike murmurs.
“hmm, okay then, wanna learn some moves?” alysa asks
mike and will instantly jump up at the idea of learning some sick movements on the ice.
alysa does a quintessential skating lesson for mike and will, they now are ready to compete i think.
competition time arrives
will starts his routine, all is going well, he’s got a major bowl cut and a dream. he feels mikes gaze lingering on him as he does a triple axel and he starts to get nervous. he eventually builds up the courage to do his new signature move, the Backflip™
he gets ready and finally executes the move.
the whole stadium goes quiet to process what they have just seen. (mike especially).
will lands on one foot, oh no, that was illegal.
“oh no” mike says, noticing the penalty.
alysa covers her face, she cannot watch this.
will finishes his routine gracefully and bows to the camera, as well as the audience, he gets off the ice to a very concerned mike and alysa.
“will, you just landed that Backflip™ on ONE foot, that’s not allowed.” mike specifies.
will realizes his fatal mistake, oh no.
the score that would’ve won the competition is now left behind, it’s announced that will is banned from skating.
mike gasps, this cannot be.
mike goes to run to the judges table, alysa tries to hold him back, she fails, despite her super strength.
mike crashes into the judges table like an idiot (sadly) and he tries to tell them will didn’t do anything wrong.
on the other side of the rink alysa consoles will as he lowk got banned, he cries and runs out of the skating rink, his skates with blue and yellow strings left on the ground as a reminder of the skater he once was.
alysa sees mike beating up the judges, only for him to get taken out by security.
alysa goes outside to see will and mike all depressed about the situation, she tells them
“guys it’s ok, i’m sure you can find another hobby, remember you’re Best Friends™!!”
mike actually forms a thought for once in his life “Best Friends™?
No thanks,
Boyfriends”
mike and will walk off into the sunset.
