Chapter 69: S Stands for Snuggles!
Finn stared at Chestelle with the utter sadness of a man who wanted to clock out—not from work, but from existence.
But alas, life kept punching the clock for him.
"Hehe... not really," Finn chuckled, forcing optimism into his voice like a used-up daycare worker. "Nothing will change. You’ll just be... you know, registered. On paper. So everyone knows who you’re with and what party you belong to."
Chestelle’s eyes lit up. "So everyone will know I belong to you?!"
"Uh..." Finn glanced at the receptionist, who immediately shot him a ’Don’t you drag me into this circus’ look.
He bit his lip. ’Damn it...’
"No," he replied reluctantly. "But they’ll know who you’re with."
"So... belong to."
Finn sighed in defeat. "...Whatever you wanna believe."
Chestelle threw her fists in the air and jumped with glee. "Hooray!"
What followed was the same scroll registration process Finn had gone through before—only now with significantly more secondhand embarrassment, and Finn having to play dad like he was helping his kid sign up for preschool.
Chestelle couldn’t even spell, so Finn had to guide her finger through most of it like a tired tutor. But when they reached the Name field, something weird happened.
