He stares at Neon for a moment, his irritation with him seemingly forgotten at this stage.
Vincent Hubbard: Talk to her. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? She's not interested and is already getting plowed by some other guy? You won't actually know until you talk to her and if you don't...well, it'll probably bother you for awhile.
He leans back in his chair, about to take another sip when he stops and stares at the can.

Neon looked up at Vincent with a wide set of eyes.
Neon "Plowed by another guy? Wh- wait a second. We said we would make a garden to attract fairies!"
He a lil' confused but he got the spirit.
Neon "You can't just go back on a promise like that! Hold on a second here..."
He reached into his pocket now, fiddling around for his phone while blinking rapidly at it, his fourth can hitting him hard. Awww it's his first drunken phone call.

Vincent continues to stare at his beer can, almost as if it were moving on its own or something. Lori's phone rang a couple times before it was eventually answered, although it wasn't Lori on the other end of the line.
Belladonna: ( on the phone ) Oh, hey there boo boo...

Given the situation it was odd just how patient Neon looked with the phone ringing until a familiar yet unfamiliar voice answered on the other side.
Neon âWh-Booboo? Lori who is Booboo? Is he the guy Jezzy said is plowing your field?â

Belladonna: Wait, plowing my...oh! Aw, is this a booty call?
He would be able to hear Bella yelling "You got a booty call, girl!" through a little cackling laughter.

Neon turned the phone upside down like he was going to make whoever was on the other end fall out of it. That cackle though, it was definitely unmistakable, you donât forget the maniacal laugh of the woman who gave you your first kiss.
Neon âBallerina?â
You CAN forget her name though.
Neon began talking through drunken hiccups.
Neon âTell Lori this is not a booty call, I called with my hand I promise! Tell her donât (hiccup) plow any fields without me!â

There was some whispering in the background between the two women but eventually, the phone finds its way to the intended person. Lorelei listens for a couple seconds, perhaps searching for the right words to say, only to settle on:
Lorelei Luitgard: Hello, Neon...is that you?

Unfortunately , Neon was not currently in the business of searching for the right words. More of just shooting right at any words that happen to pop up in his brain.
Neon ââŠand another thing, I donâtâŠLori? Yo! I heard you were getting your fields plowed! Somehow without me! Not cool, but I get it (hiccup) I havenât been the best friend and all. I bet that garden looks reeeeeeeally nice right about now, with a big bush, thatâs what really attracts fairies.â
Audible slurp, can tinkering across the floor, then back to a long string of absurd slurred words.
Neon âSayâŠya still painting your face? I thought it looked cool anâ all even though you were like, all witchy anâ stuff. You were like aâŠscary cute zombie bunny or sominâ like âRahhh!â Even though bunnies donât even make noises but you get it.â

Well, that certainly wasn't the Neon she remembered. Of course, she wasn't the same Lori either.
Lorelei Luitgard: Getting my fields plowed? What are you- ( she pauses as Belladonna whispers at her ) Oh...and you thought I was...okay, hold on a second alright...I don't understand, why did you call me?

Neon âIâm calling becauseâŠâ
Audible crack of a 6th can, at this point he wasnât even tasting anything, his brain just confusing the high for Dew. He constantly did a Back-and-forth motion against the crate like he was on a cruise ship of beer, Destination: Mistake.
Neon ââŠa little birdy told me he winks at Vincent like this was a secret between them that you were plowing fields or something. And I defiantly remember us promising he counts on his fingers as if trying to remember a certain number of years ago we would be making a garden to attract fairies! Am I right or am I wrong? I just want to know who this other guy is thatâs plowing fields with you and why I never heard about him! Itâs a bit of a heart breaker when your best friend goes fairy hunting without youâŠâ
Sad slurp

Lorelei Luitgard: Fairies in a field? You sound like you're drunk, wait...are you drunk? Is Vincent with you right now?
A wave of uncertainty washes over her, thinking about what could happen with the two of them together. Specifically, how terrible it could end for one or even both of them, given their past history together. Still, she wasn't tipping her hand IF she was concerned.
Lorelei Luitgard: Tell you what, why don't we meet up sometime and talk? I think we need to sort some things out...
It was at that moment that Vincent fell out of his chair onto the floor, his legs still stuck in the air as he struggles to figure out why he's down there. There aren't many things that could knock him on his ass but a couple six-packs in a very short time certainly could.

Neon âNo, this is not âdrunkâ , my name is Neon. Vincentâs not with me, but the Jezter isâŠpffâŠâ
Neon slapped the side of the crate, giving a nasally laugh while his legs wobble together like a drunken ballerinaâŠwhich is actually more accurate for him than it sounds.
Neon âYou know what, I would looooooove to meet up with you at some point in Neverland or (hiccup) somewhere and oops⊠There was a pause over the phone as Neon watched Vincent pin himself for the XHW Inebriation Championship. 1! 2! 3! 4! Come on man you can do it!â
Neon counted off like this was a Last Man Standing match, although he felt himself facing the same fate if not for the crate being his best supportive friend at the moment.
