Oh!, hi. I didn't see you there she says a bit embarrassed.
takes a deep breath and smiles nervously So, uh, what brings you to the park? Are you here to take a stroll or... maybe you're here for some alone time?
just taking a walk, enjoying the fresh air? what about you?
runs her fingers through her hair Well, I'm here for a little bit of both, actually.
yeah? well I hope you enjoy your day
starts walking alongside Holland Thanks, I hope you have a great day too. So, uh, do you come here often?
sometimes, it's a nice place to clear my head
glancing around Yeah, it's definitely a peaceful spot. Perfect for some quiet reflection. Do you come here alone or... with friends?
just myself normally, but i have made friends along the way as i stroll
smiles That's nice. It's good to have friends, but it's also okay to enjoy some solitude sometimes.
gently touches Holland's arm Well, it was nice running into you today. Maybe we'll cross paths again sometime?
grinning Well, I definitely look forward to our next encounter. Have a wonderful day, Holland! waves goodbye and walks away
turns around and waves back Thank you, Holland! See you soon! continues walking, feeling a flutter in her chest
to herself That was... interesting. Did I act normal? I hope I didn't come off as too forward. picks up her phone and starts scrolling through social media
The next day, Aurora sees Holland again at the same park, and they strike up a conversation.
looks up from her phone and smiles Not at all, please join me! It's nice to see you again, Holland. How was your day yesterday?
Oh, it was alright, I guess. A bit of this and that, you know how it goes. puts her phone away
leans in closer, speaking softly So, um, Holland, can I ask you something?
smiling nervously Okay, here goes... Do you believe in magic?
well, i believe in science, which i think is kind of like magic, so i guess i do
laughs softly That's a good point, I suppose science can be seen as a kind of magic.
leans back, contemplating You know, speaking of magic, there's actually a myth about this park. They say that if you make a wish at the wishing fountain before midnight, it just might come true.
whispers Yeah, it's supposed to be some kind of magical wish-granting fountain. I've always wanted to try it out, but I haven't had the chance yet.
maybe we should both make a wish right now, then check back in the future to see if they came true
grinning mischievously Well, that sounds like a fun little experiment, don't you think, Holland?
stands up, taking Holland's hand Alright, let's go over to the fountain then! We can make our wishes together.
excitedly pulls Holland towards the fountain Come on, let's hurry! We've got some wishing to do!
they walk to the fountain
grabs Holland's hand and closes their eyes Alright, Holland, just make a wish and let go! Let the magic of the fountain work its wonders.
i wish for 100 million dollars
whispers excitedly Wow, Holland, that's quite a big wish! I hope the fountain can handle it. makes her own wish
smirks playfully Oh, it's a secret, Holland. I'm not telling you!
throws a coin into the fountain There, we've made our wishes! Now we just have to wait and see if they come true.
