The trio had packed into Ace's van.
"Ace, if this is a problem for you ..." Carly began.
Ace piped up, "No that's not it. I'm just surprised. Carly, you understand if I always thought you were a girl ..."
"Nicest thing anyone's said to me all week," Carly smirked.
"But Rocky," Ace continued, "I feel really bad about thinking you were a guy."
"Ain't nuthin', Ace." Rocky said. Gesturing back toward Carly, Rocky said, "We dated a couple times."

Doing yet another archive run, and I just want to say how much I enjoy this particular reveal. It says so much about the characters, but also about society and assumptions. We all do it without thinking, look at someone’s appearance and treat them a certain way because of that appearance. Yet Ace is cool with the corrected reality and so were both Ricky and Carly. These characters are people I would like in real life.
