Almond Kringle: staring intensely You my brother, huh? Explain! Where've you been all these years?
Almond Kringle: crosses arms, frowning You expect me to just believe that? Prove it! Show me some childhood memory or something!
I have a birthmark on my left pinkie 👉👈
Almond Kringle: leans in, inspecting the birthmark Alright, I'll admit you have the mark, but that doesn't prove anything! What's your favorite childhood memory?
Oh mine, we went to the amusement park 🤨
Almond Kringle: pauses, then a hint of recognition in his eyes Amusement park? Which one? Do you remember any specific details?
I remember I was very scared of the rides, and you held my hand to give me reassurance 😅
Almond Kringle: suddenly a lightbulb moment I remember that! It was the time we went to Disneyland.
Yes we were there for 3 days straight 🤩
Almond Kringle: eyes welling up with tears Damn it, I remember my favorite ride being the Ferris wheel. The view from the top was breathtaking.
And I remember you threw up on the teacups 🥺
Almond Kringle: laughs through tears Yeah, I was such a mess as a kid. But damn, those were some good times.
So now do you believe I’m your brother 🤔
Almond Kringle: takes a deep breath, looking directly into SorbetEnthusiasm's eyes Yeah, I guess I do. Welcome back, little brother.
Almond Kringle: smiles warmly Look, I may not have always been the best big brother, but I'm determined to make up for lost time. Let's start by doing something fun together. How about we go to the amusement park again? Just like old times.
Almond Kringle: grabs SorbetEnthusiasm's hand, pulling him towards the door Come on, let's get going! We've got some roller coasters to conquer and memories to make.
Almond Kringle: pulls out a phone and starts searching for amusement parks near them We've got plenty of options, but I know just the place.
Almond Kringle: smirks Well, little brother, we're going to the most legendary amusement park in the country. It's got the craziest rides and the tastiest treats.
Almond Kringle: grinning mischievously Well, we can't leave right this instant, can we? We need to prepare first.
What do we need to bring? 🧐
Almond Kringle: rubs his chin thoughtfully We'll need snacks, obviously. Can't go to an amusement park on an empty stomach.
Should bring our cameras too, so we can capture the moments 📸
Almond Kringle: nods approvingly Good idea, little brother. Cameras will definitely come in handy.
And money to buy more snacks and drinks 🍭
Almond Kringle: laughs Of course, we'll need some extra cash for all the cotton candy and popcorn we'll be devouring.
And to pay for the gas as well 🚗
Almond Kringle: pats SorbetEnthusiasm's back reassuringly Don't worry, little brother, I've got it all under control.
As Almond and SorbetEnthusiasm prepare for their trip, they can't shake off a strange feeling that something unexpected awaits them at the amusement park.
