* Li'l Jerry
* Wants a fulfilling life in interpretive dance, but falling asleep is getting in the way
* Get narcolepsy diagnosis
* the last thing I need is love
* Rex:
* Building that respect is more important than love
* Jerry:
* Maintaining a life is hard enough
* Meet cute:
* the first appointment:
* Jerry is easily impressed
* Rex is feeling like this will be really easy
* Contrivance: Rex needs to study just in case this is a curse
* That's the last thing I need
* Rex:
* Maintain that professional wizard/patient relationship
* Lil Jerry:
* Gotta get this fixed before dating
* Also boy that's a lot of teetth
* No way #1
* Jerry:
* Thinking about Rex leads to narcoleptic episode, so no way!
* Rex:
* News of some other wizard violating WIPAA
* There's a little bit of trouble:
* Second appointment
* the potion doesn't work - maybe it's not narcolepsy...!
* Stuck together:
* The curse is transmissable!
* Jerry shouldn't go out and pass on the curse
* Now Rex is snoozing, doesn't want to pass that on to clients
* Rex says "sleep on the office bed"
* No way #2:
* Catching feelings + sleepiness
* Rex:
* Gotta focus on success
* What if it's a symptom?
* (also they're probably already dating)
* Lil Jerry:
* They'd have to find another wizard
* They're so close to fixing this...!
* Bone town:
* Rex has a floor cry, Jerry has to take care of them (y'know, spritz with water, off chum)
* Seeds of doubt:
* Wallow #1:
* both of them fell asleep (was it cozy? was it the curse? Oh no!!!!!)
* Retreat
* Rex:
* goes home
* How do I explain falling in love with a fainting goat
* And also I have narcolepsy???
* Mom is smug
* Lil Jerry:
* Stuck in office
* Slamming Chimera Energy Drinks
* Obsessively preparing for recital
* Choose fear:
* Lil Jerry:
* I'm leaving
* Maybe if I'm no here, Rex won't have the curse
* Rex:
* Mom may be right after all
* Still stuck with curse
* Wallow #2:
* Rex:
* Abandon business
* Not going back to land
* Seal break
* Lil Jerry:
* caffeine crash, falls, hurts his shoulder
* Wallow, giving floor cry a go
* Choose love:
* Rex:
* Rex's dad talks them through a breakdown
* The speech is really touching, *he* went to the surface once and biggest regret is coming back, don't listen to your mom, she has no power over you
* Li'l Jerry:
* finds Rex's notes searching for spell
* They wrote: "This spell won't work and now Jerry's never gonna talk to me again :c :c :c </3 [curled up shark with Xs for eyes]"
* Plan and take risks:
* Jerry:
* *I'm* gonna fix this, imagine how happy Rex will be <3 <3 <3
* Now Jerry is planning!!!!!
* Rex:
* they have to sneak out
* Fuck it, plans haven't worked, I'm yeeting on land with nothing waiting for me, but hopefully Jerry
* Grand gesture:
* Rex throws the door wide
* Jerry is treating others with the same curse (maybe even those same doctors who refused...!)
* the spell that fixes this is a dance, and Rex falls into a swoon, then they do the dance together
* Epilogue/hope:
* They're working on the grand new field of magical dance
* Of course they get married (it's a magical girl transformation)
* Opens the world to movement based spells
