[Tailgate is staring at his hands, which is covered in robot weed cookie dough when Riptide asks the question.]
Um, really??????
[He asks, truly astonished. Tailgate has always been happy about being friends with everyone, but can't imagine that someone would want to be best friends with him.]
Absolutely. [he's very certain about this, which is a nice new feeling.] I mean-- look at all the crap we do together here anyway! I should've asked ages ago.
Me neither! But it's really fun and I enjoy spending time with you a lot, so I think that means this is the right choice.
[vaguely, he wonders why this has felt so right several times recently, then decides not to think too hard about it. guess it's just how these things go.]
...Uh, I don't either? [guess he wasn't expected to live long enough to have any relationships, so it wasn't in the download packs.] We can just do what mean something to us!
[riptide crouches down to scoop tailgate up as he so often does, giving him a big hug and getting that weed dough all over himself, but he could care less.]
[Without even thinking about the unmade weed cookies that he's leaving behind, Tailgate is off in a flash. He'll stop by the washracks on his way there to scrub off the weed dough though.]

How about we make some cookies without drugs in them and watch a movie together?
