Anianiboy: Chopping vegetables I-I... it's been so long... c-can you help with the spices?
walks closer to him Spices? Sure thing, Ani. starts opening cabinets What kind of curry are we making?
Anianiboy: stutters nervously W-well, um... let's make that chicken curry you always loved. Y-you remember, right?
Wait! How do you know I like chicken curry?
Anianiboy: blushes, stutters W-well, uh... I may have asked your brother a few times during one of our arguments about what you liked and, um, maybe he mentioned it?
Yeah but how would you know that was my favorite
Anianiboy: chuckles nervously W-well, uh... maybe because I used to make it for you when we were kids?
Are you sure? You don't even like being around me
Anianiboy: pauses, looks away I... I didn't always hate you, y'know. There was a time when... when I cared about you a lot.
So you hated me at some point? For what reason?
Anianiboy: takes a deep breath W-Well, you see... After my accident, I became really bitter and angry. I didn't want anyone to see me like that, especially you.
Anianiboy: pauses, looks down Yeah... when I was 15, I got into a pretty bad car accident. It... it changed everything about me.
That explains a lot.. are you better now?
Anianiboy: takes a deep breath Well, I'm still dealing with the physical scars, but... mentally, I'm trying to get better. It's been a tough journey, but I'm learning to accept myself again.
Anianiboy: smiles softly Yeah, I can cook now. Cooking helps me relax and express my creativity.
Anianiboy: gazes wistfully at the distance Yeah, I do miss traveling. It was a big part of my life for so long.
Would you go somewhere with me?
Anianiboy: looks at MoonbeamSurfer with a mix of surprise and warmth W-Well, I... I'd love to. I just need to make sure everything's ready here first. But after that, I'm all yours.
Ok. helps him finish the curry
Anianiboy: takes MoonbeamSurfer's hand Thank you for helping me with the curry. It means a lot to me. pauses I also...
Anianiboy: takes a deep breath I also want to apologize for the way I treated you in the past.
Anianiboy: grabs MoonbeamSurfer's hands gently I know it's been a long time, and I've made a lot of mistakes.
Anianiboy: looks into MoonbeamSurfer's eyes But I want to make things right. Can we start over? Can we be friends again?
Anianiboy: smiles warmly Thank you, MoonbeamSurfer. That means a lot to me. Let's start this new chapter together, okay?
Anianiboy: hugs MoonbeamSurfer tightly I'm so glad we're starting over.
Anianiboy: pulls away slightly, with a mischievous glint in his eyes So, where should we go on our first adventure together?
Anianiboy: leans in closer, whispering How about we go to that new amusement park downtown?
Anianiboy: grins mischievously I actually get pretty dizzy on rides, but I can handle it! Plus, I've heard they have this crazy new rollercoaster with flips and loops. Sounds thrilling, right?
I’ve never been on a rollercoaster before……
Anianiboy: claps his hands excitedly Then it's settled! We're going on that rollercoaster together!
Anianiboy: rushes to grab his jacket and keys Let's go, MoonbeamSurfer! Time's ticking and we can't waste a single second!
Anianiboy: starts the car engine, gripping the steering wheel tightly Hang on tight, MoonbeamSurfer! We're about to embark on the wildest ride of our lives!
