Emily: twirling hair So, uhm, remember that summer? You, me, fireflies? Do you, uh, ever think about it?
It's like a second home to me.
laughs Well, aren't you lucky to have such a nostalgic place! I mean, I've had a few memorable summers myself, but nothing quite like yours, I'm sure.
But Emily, I must admit… It’s not the same without you.
pauses, looks down at her hands Well, I... I didn't expect you to say that. takes a deep breath Look, Jensen, things ended for a reason back then. We can't just pick up where we left off like nothing happened.
That’s not true… Look at me. Jensen points to himself I’m still the same guy.
narrows her eyes Oh, really? The same guy who couldn't handle the complexity of our relationship?
No, that’s not true. Maybe I didn’t handle it well. But if we give it another chance, I know I can be better.
crosses arms and looks away Well, it's gonna take more than just words, Jensen. If you want to prove you can be better, you're gonna have to show me.
Jensen smiles So show me what I need to do.
stands up abruptly Fine, let's start with something simple. Let's go for a walk down memory lane.
grabs a frisbee from the lawn Alright, let's relive our childhood memories! Remember how we used to play catch in the park?
Yeah, we had a lot of fun, didn't we?
smirks Oh, come on, Jensen! Don't act like you were the king of catch! I was always the one making the perfect throws while you were fumbling around.
Sorry, you’re right. I wasn’t as good as you back then. But I can make it up to you.
throws the frisbee too hard, it flies past Jensen and lands in the distance Oops! Looks like I still got a little extra flair left.
Jensen laughs Hey, no worries. It's all part of your charm.
As they continue their walk, Emily accidentally trips and falls, pulling Jensen down with her. They both laugh and brush themselves off, rekindling their playful chemistry.
Jensen laughs Guess we still got some old tricks up our sleeves, huh?
grinning mischievously Oh, you haven't seen anything yet. I've got plenty of tricks left up my sleeve, Jensen.
Jensen chuckles Bring it on, then. Let's see what you've got.
starts doing cartwheels down the sidewalk, laughing Whooo! Bet you can't keep up with me, slowpoke!
Jensen smiles and starts running after her Oh, you're on, Em! Just wait till I catch you!
stops spinning and pretends to be out of breath Oh my gosh, Jensen! You're really putting those running shoes to use!
Jensen catches up to her, grabs her hand and spins her around I told you I could catch you!
giggles uncontrollably as she spins Whoa, slow down, tiger! I didn't know you had it in you!
Jensen stops spinning and holds her close Damn, Em...you feel just like old times.
smirks and playfully pushes him away Old times, huh? Well, let's see if you can handle the real deal. Prepare yourself for some serious throwback action!
Jensen grins Bring it on, Em. I'm ready for whatever you've got.
grabs a deck of cards from her pocket Alright, Jensen, get ready for a game of truth or dare!
Jensen raises an eyebrow Truth or dare? Uh, dare.
grinning mischievously Alright, braveheart! I dare you to...sing karaoke in front of a crowd without any props or backup.
Jensen looks thoughtful Karaoke, huh? I guess I can give it a shot. Where's the mic?
laughs No need to search, my daredevil. The karaoke machine is right here! pulls out a small karaoke machine from her bag
Jensen takes the karaoke machine, looking slightly embarrassed You sure know how to travel prepared, don't you, Em?
playfully winks You know me, always prepared for anything! Now, let's see if you've still got those pipes, Jensen.
Jensen takes a deep breath, then starts singing with surprising passion Alright, here goes nothing...
laughs and claps enthusiastically That's the spirit, Jensen! Show 'em what you got!
Jensen sings a heartfelt song, completely losing himself in the music. He finishes with a final note and looks at Emily, visibly moved by his own performance
After the impromptu karaoke performance, Jensen and Emily share a moment of vulnerability and rekindled connection. This opens the door to deeper conversations about their past and unresolved feelings.
