The woman Stinky saw next to her was Audrey O'Roma, Tim's 23-year-old sister. Stinky looked up at her and recognized her right away. It was hard for her not to, after all, since Audrey had a very distinct look: her rosy-pale complexion and her sandy-blonde hair contrasted with her hetero-chromia. Audrey's right eye was brown, while her left was a pale green. To date, Audrey was the only person Stinky had known personally who had two differently-colored eyes.
"Oh, hey Audrey!" Stinky greeted. "How ya doin'?"
Audrey nodded in response. "I'm doing great, Stinks! Sorry, I didn't see you there."
Audrey, unlike her older brother Tim, had a very clear American accent, though she was able to slip into an Irish one every so often, and very naturally. She simply spoke with the American one by default.
"I didn't see ya there, either!" Stinky chuckled. "Could hear ya, though!"
"Oh, is that right? Gosh, was it really that loud?"
"Nah, I'm just right next to ya, so y'know," Stinky assured.
Audrey giggled to herself. "You make a good point."
Stinky then took a couple quick whiffs of the air around the two. "Hmmm... hey, smells nice! You been eating some fruits and veggies?"
Audrey nodded and nervously rubbed the back of her head. "Well, yes, I have. Had myself some apple slices this morning."
Audrey was born with a form of chronic flatulence that has been passed down to every other generation of the O'Roma family, characterized by its surprising force and wide variety of scents, both good and bad. Strangely enough, only she had this condition, whereas Tim did not. The scent of Audrey's flatulence depended entirely on what she ate, with fruits and vegetables reliably making her farts more pleasant, but processed foods, dairy products and meats giving them in a foul stench. Beans, lentils, rice, and so on only result in a more neutral scent, strangely enough.
Stinky wasn't sure if Audrey's flatulence made her a Stinker like herself, however, as Audrey did not possess the same characteristics a Stinker usually would outside of the aforementioned farting. Most importantly, Audrey could not control her farts about 90% of the time, making her outbursts more frequent than she liked to admit.
"Shame, though," Audrey continued. "I know Tim has been having trouble with his air conditioner..."
"Pfff, so?" Stinky scoffed. "If your farts smell good, what's the issue? That you're making the store smell nice for a change?"
"Wait, does it usually smell bad?" Audrey asked earnestly.
"Yeah, whenever I'm here!" Stinky joked.
Both girls shared some chuckles amongst themselves.
Stinky met Audrey the same time he met Tim for the first time, and the two immediately got along. Stinky never liked to say it out loud, but she saw a sort of older sister that she never had in Audrey. Audrey was causal, easy-going, but most importantly, she was honest, which Stinky always thought made her cool. Plus, it didn't hurt that Stinky knew another girl in town who was about as gassy as she was, and was as nice as Audrey tended to be. Finding another girl in town that farted as much as Stinky did and wasn't some obnoxious punk was rare, but maybe that was because the only gassy girls she knew were Audrey, Betty Blast, and a teenager who just so happened to be named Audry, so it was slim pickings to begin with. and the less said about Betty, the better...
"So, what movies are you looking at?" Audrey asked.
"Oh, right," Stinky replied. "Just trying to see if anything catches my eye. Haven't decided if I want something weird, or like... really weird, y'know?"
"What's really weird?"
"Oh, y'know, those types of movies nobody ever talks about, because they're so old, and the plot is super crazy?" Stinky clarified.
Audrey put her finger to her chin and hummed aloud. "Hmmmm... OK, so you want something with a crazy plot, huh?"
Stinky nodded. "Oh yeah, totally! Something wild, even!"
"OK, well if you want wild, let me suggest a few here..."
Audrey pulled three movies off the shelf, and showed them to Stinky.
"First one here is something I think you'll really like," Audrey explained. "Butt Blast Boy: Loud and Explosive!"
"Pfff, hahaha! That sounds awesome!" Stinky exclaimed. "Please tell me it's about what I think it is!"
"It's about a kid who accidentally dunks his butt into a tub of radioactive waste," Audrey elaborated, "which causes his farts to become so powerful, that they can make him fly around like a rocket. His butt also gets really huge, too."
Stinky couldn't stop herself from laughing. "Pfffheheh, oh man, how have I never heard of this?!"
"Next up, The Big Girl," Audrey continued. "This one is about a girl with such a big appetite, that she grows so fat and eventually becomes a sumo wrestler."
"Whoa, cool!"
"And finally," Audrey added, "Love is in The Air. This one is about a girl who floats around the sky like a balloon, and meets the guy of her dreams."
"Hmmm. Seems kinda sappy, but also kinda funny," Stinky admitted. "So, wait, have you seen all of these?"
Audrey nodded, with a soft smile across her face.
Stinky put her hand on Audrey's shoulder. "Dude, you have awesome taste in movies! Which one do you recommend?!"
"Honestly? I know how it sounds silly, but Love is in The Air is actually really sweet. It's also just has a nice, goofy premise."
Stinky seemed unconvinced. "Really? Huh. Well, if you say so."
"Wait, which one do you want to watch?"
"Duh, 3B, of course!"
"3B?"
"Butt Blast Boy, obviously! Sounds hilarious and cool!" Stinky answered.
Audrey chuckled. "Alright, then why not go for that one then?"
Stinky thought about it in her head for moment before deciding on:
