Previously on I Ship It.

Not weird, is it? Us being here, working on stuff.

Together. After the thing with the kissing and whatever.

You tried a thing and it wasn't for us.

You want to make out?

Okay, sure, let's go.

I just booked us an open mic night. What?

No.

We're not ready. I'm not ready.

It's a stage fright thing.

I feel like this is maybe something we should work on.

Tim.

No, Tim.

I called like an hour ago.

I reserved your tiniest room with an extra tambourine.

Yeah, no, Tim.

I do have a Zara at 9 p .m., but you don't really look like a Zara.

Guess we'll have to conquer stage fright another night. Oh, no.

Oh, no, the open mic is tomorrow.

Ella, if we keep waiting until we're ready to do these things, we're never

to get anywhere.

We just got to dive in.

Otherwise, what's the point?

Hey, look at that.

Hi, would you like to sign? Steve's birthday card?

Yes. How do you know Steve?

I don't know Steve.

Played high school volleyball together.

Aw, super cute.

Signed for everybody.

So, uh, from all of us to Steve, happy birthday.

Love ya, man.

The gang.

Happy karaoke!

Thanks.

I hate everything about her.

Let's hit this.

Steve, we served together in the war.

We worked at the night carnival together.

Cheese.

Wonderful.

Mmm.

Good taste.

Probably went to Bible games together.

Learned a lot about forbidden fruit.

My friends are dumb and they're making me sing.

I'm also friends with Steve.

Steve is not dumb.

Here we go.

Tell me not to go But I can't wait forever

I gotta be moving on And I can't

believe it I thought you were the one But now I

know we'll never Have anything more So

if you have nothing left

I think I'll be on my way.

What you looking at there, Tim? Ooh, way to be settled, boss.

What?

You and Ella?

What's that?

Me and Ella?

Nothing. Sure, we're close.

We're good friends. We're great friends.

And yeah, there's some tension that I feel sometimes between us.

And maybe when I look at her, it's like the world is melted into black and white

and color is painful in a stabby serial killer caterpillar that might turn into

butterflies kind of way.

That's 100 % a friendship thing.

I'm pretty sure.

Ella's happy with the way things are.

She doesn't want anything else.

She's my friend.

Friend is good.

Friends are good.

Yeah, but if you like somebody, shouldn't you...

Do something about it? Doing casual things and doing thing things are

things. Maybe technically.

Seems pretty cowardly. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances.

That's a good point. I think there are always extenuating circumstances, but

choose what you let get in the way.

More alcohol.

Yeah, good. You know, I will come with you.

Tell me it wasn't that bad. Pee break.

Okay. Okay.

We're not here to pee, are we? Why is everything so weird and difficult?

What is?

You and Tim, me and Denver.

There's nothing between... Wait, you and Denver?

Okay, Tela.

Damn, that's a mediocre ship name.

Yeah.

I've never... I'm not a casual dater.

You know, I just, I don't really see the point. I'd rather wait for something

worth the time. And it's not that Denver isn't, but New York is so far away.

Do you like him?

What?

I like Denver.

She thinks that should be enough, and she thinks not doing anything about that

is cowardly.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I think...

Give it a try. It doesn't have to mean anything.

It doesn't have to be everything.

Or we could ignore our problems and drown our sorrows in vodka and song.

Oh, I actually do have to pee.

Right, sure.

I'll be right back. Yep.

We have a special song for the birthday boy, Steve.

Steve?

Steve! Hey!

Well, this one's for you.

I don't know who these people are.

Like at all.

All my favorite characters die.

It's sad, but I learn not to cry.

That is until recently when I realized their luck is too similar

to mine.

Here lies my love line.

I can't wait to see you again.

If it's any comfort to get by, you'll be joined by a

fictional...

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

We all never knew your worth You, John Frank, are the left behind

Buried beneath the earth James and Lily, the planet

Galapagos Carl's wiping up Mary Winchester,

Snape's pride They're all dead like my love

Get together, too.

Same thin face.

We did it!

Hey, we should celebrate.

Our first real open mic.

You want to get waffles or something later after this?

Waffles?

I was thinking maybe we could be...

And get together off -page somehow, too.

Not like... I mean, not like that, necessarily, but not at first. I mean,

date. Not like a date. Like platonic waffles.

Like friends have waffles together.

Friend waffle.

Yeah. Did I make it weird? I'm not trying to make it weird. Yeah, you're

weird.

I know we're only here this summer, and I'm not really into summer things, but I

like you, and I think you like me, and I just thought, hey, maybe why not give

it a try if you want to. If you don't want to, I said, fine.

Look, things seem a little bit off between us lately, and I think I know

And, look, I know you don't like me like that, and that's fine, because I'm

totally going to just, like, eventually I'll get over it, and then I'll be back.

Uh, yes.

Yes. Cool.

So,

where does this leave us in terms of getting waffles?

I'm talking about waffles.

Wanna sing out loud
