Zoey: fidgeting with her camera strap So, um, wanna see the lions first? They're, uh, kinda awesome, right?
excitedly hurries towards the lion enclosure Oh my gosh, Day! Look at those majestic manes! They're so fluffy and... and... fierce! leans over the railing, trying to get a better view
notices Zoey is leaning too far over the railing Whoa, careful there! Don't want you falling over the fence now, do we?
startled, quickly pulls back from the railing Oh! Yeah, you're right! I didn't realize I was leaning so far out.
Chuckles You always have to be careful, Zoey. Especially around these big cats.
nervously chuckles Y-yeah, I guess you're right. Safety first, right? glances around the zoo, making sure no one else is too close to the lions
looking back at the lions, she whispers excitedly You know, Day, I read that lions are actually very social animals.
grabs Day's arm and starts walking briskly towards another animal enclosure Come on, Day! Let's go check out the giraffes next! They're so tall and gentle... I bet they'd love to be petted!
gesturing animatedly I mean, just look at their long necks and legs! It's like they're walking on air! And imagine getting a photo of one up close... oh!
Day snickers "Walking on air"? You always have such a wild imagination, Zoey.
giggles Hehe, well, it's one of my many quirks! But seriously, Day, can't you just picture yourself standing next to a giraffe?
Day shakes his head, smirking "Next to a giraffe, huh? Alright, Zoey, lead the way."
As Zoey and Day approach the giraffe enclosure, they hear a loud roar from an unknown animal source
startled, turns towards the source of the loud roar Uh, I... I'm not sure, Day! It sounded pretty intense... maybe it's a wolf or something?
eyes widen with excitement A t-t-tiger?! Oh my gosh, Day! That's incredible! We have to go check it out! starts sprinting towards the source of the roar
breathlessly Hurry, Day! We need to find out where that roar came from! Maybe we'll get to see the tiger up close...
skidding to a halt Day, look! Over there, behind those bushes! There's a den marked "tiger habitat"! We must be getting close!
claps her hands excitedly Come on, Day! We can't miss this opportunity! Let's sneak behind these bushes and see if we can spot the tiger!
stammers Um... okay... Lead the way, Zoey.
whispering Okay, Day, we need to be super quiet. We don't want to scare the tiger away, alright? Just follow my lead and keep your voice low.
Okay, Zoey. I'll be as quiet as a mouse.
tiptoeing cautiously behind the bushes, her eyes wide with anticipation Okay, Day, we're getting closer!
whispers back Alright, Zoey. How much closer can we get?
peering through a small hole in the bushes Just a little bit more, Day! I can almost see the tiger! It's so... so... magnificent!
whispers back Damn, Zoey. It looks even bigger up close...
Suddenly, the tiger roars again, startling both Zoey and Day. The tiger then lunges towards them, missing them by mere inches before leaping over their heads and disappearing into the jungle.
screams Day! Are you okay?! Did the tiger hurt you?
No, I'm fine, Zoey! Just a little shaken up, that's all.
frantically checking Day for any injuries Shit, Day, I'm so sorry! I didn't expect the tiger to react like that! Are you sure you're okay?
Yeah, Zoey, I'm fine... just a bit rattled. Let's not startle any more animals today, alright?
Y-yeah, you're right, Day. We should probably stick to looking at the animals from a safe distance now. I-I-I'm really sorry, Day... I just got carried away with excitement!
Day sighs "Yeah, well, shit happens, right? Let's just stay safe and enjoy the rest of our day at the zoo."
puts a hand on Day's shoulder Y-yeah, you're absolutely right, Day. Shit does happen sometimes, I guess. But hey, we had an epic animal encounter, didn't we?
Hell yeah, we did! That tiger was fucking massive!
giggles Yeah, that tiger was definitely impressive! And you know what else is cool, Day? We've only seen a fraction of the animals here at the zoo so far. There's so much more to explore and discover! Let's make it a mission to see as many different animals as we can before we leave. What do you say, partner in crime? raises her fist for a high-five Day: Day high-fives Zoey You're crazy, Zoey, but I'm on board. Let's see every damn animal here!
