you make me sick (for being so perfect)

Seventy Nine.

"Ralph, I'm taking you to see The Lion King when it comes out." Dinah announces, staring down at her phone with wide eyes.

Lauren tries her best to get the suitcase in the trunk of the car, but Camila had clearly packed a lot. But she's not about to let her girlfriend carry heavy suitcases, because she knows that's not chivalrous, and Lauren promised she'd treat Camila right.

She's a little annoyed that Dinah isn't helping, either. Dinah is strong, so she doesn't have an excuse.

"Mani is taking me to see that, she promised after she found out that Disney were making a new one." Lauren says. "You are welcome to join if you'd like-"

"Obviously Mani wants to go with you. Beyoncé is playing Nala." Dinah says, still staring at her phone. "I'm so taking you. If anyone asks, I'm doing my friend a favour by seeing her favourite movie with her."

Lauren frowns. "There is nothing wrong with wanting to see The Lion King. It's a cinematic masterpiece for many reasons. For example-"

"Ceasefire on the rant, Ralph." Dinah interrupts. "I've heard your reasons a thousand times."

"Well, I am happy with the casting." Lauren rocks on her heels, and reaches into the passenger seat of the car, picking up her stuffed Nala. "Beyoncé is my best friend."

"Actually, you'll find that she's my best friend. Your best friend is an inanimate object." Dinah teases her. "Do you think if I tweeted her and told her how much my autistic best friend loves Nala, she'd come and meet me for free?"

"I doubt it." Lauren replies, and Dinah deflates. "She probably doesn't even run her own Twitter. But you could try, I think it would be interesting to meet the voice of Nala. But I'm not taking you, I'm taking Camz."

Camila appears through the door, carrying another bag. "Taking me where?"

"To meet Beyoncé. Apparently she's voicing Nala in the new Lion King movie." Lauren rocks on her heels. "Dinah found out and wants to use me to meet Beyoncé."

Camila shakes her head. "If anyone is going to use my girlfriend, it's me."

Lauren frowns, and juts her bottom lip out in a pout when she realises what Camila had said. "You're going to use me? How? Because I am not an object-"

"I was joking, baby," Camila assures her, kissing Lauren's cheek. "Besides, I wanted to take you to see the new Lion King. I wanted it to be like a date. We could go to the midnight premiere if there is one."

Lauren's jaw drops, and she practically pounces on Camila in a hug. "I love you! That would be the best date ever. I- um, our date to- to the Broadway show will also be perfect, because it will be our two year anniversary, and we'll get to- um, to watch my favourite thing."

"You two are gross," Dinah rolls her eyes, "get a room."

Lauren ignores her. "DJ, if you want to take me to see The Lion King, and Camz does too, and Mani as well, then you can all take me at different times! Ally can take me another time as well, because I already know I want to see it more than once."

Camila beams and squeezes Lauren's hand as Dinah mutters something that sounds a lot like you're paying for the tickets, Lauser. "You're the cutest. Are Dash and Leo ready for their first plane ride?"

"Yes, my sons are ready." Lauren nods, and Dinah snorts at the word sons. "I am also ready. I quite enjoy plane rides, because you can stare out at the fluffy clouds. When I was little I thought it was another world, and my mami had to explain they were just clouds."
