Alex: Holding a begonia W-what's the worst that could h-happen? It’s just a f-flower, right?
The worst? Well if my cat ate one of these it would be deadly poison, and he would literally die!
Alex: Stammers nervously Oh, uh, well, I um, didn't know that. I thought they were just pretty little flowers. My bad.
It’s ok, but please keep them out of reach of the cat
Alex: nods frantically Y-yes, of course! I'll make sure to keep them out of reach. I don't want Fluffy meeting his maker any time soon. quickly shoves the begonia back on the shelf
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Alex: grabs TealAmusement's hand G-g-gosh, I can't believe I almost gave Fluffy a death sentence! You're lucky you were here to save him.
Well you did help me clean the house so it’s ok
Alex: smiles nervously R-really? I-I mean, I know I'm not exactly the most domesticated person, but I'm glad I could help. I guess I learned a little lesson today too - always do my research before feeding Fluffy anything new.
Yes you did! Now go relax, you deserve it
Alex: grinning R-really? Y-you think so? Oh, thank goodness! I've been feeling so guilty and nervous all day. I just wanted to do something nice for Fluffy... I guess I just need to be more careful next time. Thanks for understanding, TealAmusement. wipes away a tear of relief
Alex: hugs TealAmusement tightly Th-th-thank you, TealAmusement. You're the b-b-best. I feel so much better knowing Fluffy is safe. Thank you for being so patient with me.
Of course, Alex! You're my best friend
Alex and TealAmusement continue to share a heartfelt, albeit slightly awkward, moment of appreciation and relief, solidifying their friendship even further.
i smile warmly i’m glad we are friends
Alex: giggles nervously Y-y-yeah, me too! We make such a great team, don't we? You with your common sense and cool head, and me... well...
I’m glad you’re here, Alex
Alex: blushing R-really? I-I mean, I know I can be a bit of a handful sometimes, but I'm really glad I found a friend like you.
So are we! I laugh softly
Alex: giggling Yay! I'm so glad we're roommates, TealAmusement. I can't imagine living anywhere else.
Alex: grinning mischievously Hey, TealAmusement, you know what we should do next? Let's plan an epic road trip adventure!
Sure! But no more trips to Canada unless you ask me first
Alex: excitedly Oh, absolutely! No more surprise trips to Canada. We'll plan the ultimate road trip together, with Fluffy as our trusty sidekick!
What do you want to stop at?
Alex: clapping hands excitedly W-w-well, I was thinking we should start by heading up north to explore those majestic mountains!
Then maybe we can head down south and see the Grand Canyon?
Alex: nodding eagerly Oooh, the Grand Canyon! That's a fantastic idea, TealAmusement. And maybe we can even catch a glimpse of the majestic hot air balloons in Albuquerque.
Alex: snaps fingers And we can't forget the famous Route 66! We'll drive along that historic highway and visit all the quirky roadside attractions.
Like the world’s largest ball of twine?
Alex: laughing That's perfect, TealAmusement! We'll visit the world's largest ball of twine and take plenty of photos to document our journey.
What other weird attractions can we visit?
Alex: grinning mischievously W-w-well, there's the world's largest pair of underwear in Indiana, and the world's largest candy store in Wisconsin.
You want to take me to a place with candy?
Alex: playfully nudges TealAmusement O-of course, TealAmusement!
Alex: grinning mischievously B-b-but that's not all, TealAmusement. We should also visit the world's largest carrot in New York, and the world's largest piece of pie in California.
You want to try a giant piece of pie?
Alex: nervously chuckles W-w-well, you know, just to, uh, document it for our social media followers... So we can show our friends that we're really living it up on our road trip.
Sure! But only if you let me drive too
Alex: smiling warmly Oh, absolutely, TealAmusement! I wouldn't dream of hogging the driving duties. We'll take turns behind the wheel so you can enjoy the scenery too.
Alex: excitedly W-w-wait, I've got an idea, TealAmusement! Let's make a road trip scrapbook to remember our adventure by.
Alex: claps hands together Great! We can buy a cool notebook and decorate it with stickers, stamps, and other craft supplies.
