Did you see that trashy shade of lipstick she was wearing? Ugh!” Annette raged, stamping her way down the street. Her smeared makeup and ruddy complexion received a few curious glances, and Annette’s scowl turned so poisonous passersby began averting their eyes.

The entire return trip had been a tirade on how awful Lydia was. Simon remained silent and tight-lipped.

“She’s a harlot if I’ve ever seen one,” Annette seethed.

“Annette, that’s―” Simon started quite brusquely, lost his nerve when Annette turned her scowl on him, and finished meekly, “…that’s i-impolite. You’re talking about my girlfriend, here.”

“You can’t possibly still want to associate yourself with that…that…serpent after what happened! After she lied to you? You’d have to be a complete fool! And since when do you care about your girlfriends? Don’t you pick up some new floozy every other week?”

Simon’s face turned a dark shade of red, looking more angry than upset. Annette tossed her curls and continued walking, and Simon rushed after her in rare form.

“You take that back and apologize, Annette! She didn’t lie, she just didn’t know! You don’t know her like I do. You haven’t seen what she’s really like!”

“She is a greasy, cruel little lunatic and I can’t for the life of me figure out why you’re trying to defend her after what you just saw,” Annette shot back.

“Stop that! I don’t know why she did that to you, but you’ve got her all wrong. Lydia’s an amazing person, she just gets nervous around strangers. Nervous and a little, erm, insulting. But it’s only because she’s so lonely! This is why I didn’t want to introduce her to you guys, I knew you’d act like complete jerks.” Simon’s anger began to deflate into something like despair. He turned to Hector with a forlorn glance. “Back me up, man.”

Hector fiddled with his glasses. Simon looked to Penny. “Penny, tell them! You’ve got the same talent as she does, you’re from Earth, too! You must know what it’s like to feel so isolated!”

“Um,” Penny hesitated, hating the confrontation. “I dunno, Simon. She seemed questionable. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it did come off as kind of―”

“You can’t be serious!” Simon cried. “You’re all ganging up on me on purpose because you think you’re so smart. Did it ever occur that you’re judging someone before you get to know them? I’ve known her for months, and let me tell you, you’d all be lucky to have her as a friend!” He pointed at Annette. “You’re being a petulant little child. The reason why she won’t tell us what Lydia showed her is because it wasn’t anything at all. I think you were just acting up because you can’t stand it when you’re not the center of attention!”

Annette’s jaw dropped, and Mia covered her mouth as Noct stopped short. Simon and Annette stared each other down, the tension palpable. Argent stepped between them.

“Back off,” he growled and Simon grabbed the front of Argent’s shirt.

“You get your hands off me, you little rodent,” Argent hissed.
