Sir Duke: Fuck
Victoria: Then who’s going to be her escort?
Smooth Jazz: Dimitri
Dimwit_Genius: What?
Seblasquez: You said you’d studied all the roles and responsibilities of the position
Dimwit_Genius: When did I say that?
Seblasquez: Months ago
Seblasquez: when you were complaining about Luna not taking you seriously enough
Smooth Jazz: He knows the waltz
Dimwit_Genius: I’m not doing it.
Victoria: Dimitri!!!!
Dimwit_Genius: What?! Luna had plenty of time to ask me, but did she want to? Noooooo.
Sir Duke: And to think he keeps claiming he’s not an asshole…
Dimwit_Genius: Stay out of this Douche King
Victoria: You really won’t do this for her? ):
Smooth Jazz: It’s the biggest birthday party she’s ever going to have
Smooth Jazz: We know you’re not heartless

Author’s Note: Next week on Trainwrecks: The Dieciseisañera.
AAAAAAAAAAA THE ANTICIPATION FOR NEXT WEEK IS THROUGH THE ROOF
Good on Patrick for coming clean! I appreciate that he wasn't just using Luna as cover but was trying to figure things out. Doesn't help Luna though. (I also find it kinda hilarious that Seb and V are the only ones who don't know the real reason Patrick can't come lol.)
And now DIMITRI has to--sorry, GETS to--escort Luna to the dance!!! While they're still fighting!! WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN OH MAN OH MAN I CAN'T WAIT
Poor poor Luna! Dimitri time to step up!!
Duke: *cursed with knowledge*
