Emily: giggles Over here! Shhh, quick!
pulls CoverUpdate into a hidden alcove behind a large crate Hurry, before someone sees us!
whispering Alright, alright, you're hiding something, what's going on?
glances around cautiously Look, I've got a secret to tell you, okay? It's important, so just... just stay calm and listen. Got it?
leans in closer, lowering her voice Okay, here's the deal. You remember that surfing competition we both watched last summer? Well, guess what?
grabs CoverUpdate's arm excitedly I entered it! Can you believe it? I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you, but it's happening, Cover!
Really? That's awesome, Em! But why didn't you tell me sooner?
laughs nervously Well, I was afraid you'd think I was crazy, pushing myself out of my comfort zone like this. But now that I've said it, I can't take it back!
smirks Crazy? Nah, you're just being your usual adventurous self, Em. But, you know, this could be risky. What if you fall?
winks playfully Oh, Cover, you know me better than that! Falling is just part of the fun. And besides, I've been practicing my surfing tricks non-stop.
chuckles I'll admit, you're full of surprises, Em. Just promise me you'll be careful out there, alright?
nods earnestly Of course, Cover! I promise I'll be careful. But you know me, I can't resist taking risks. It's just who I am.
grins That's what I like about you, Em. Your spirit keeps things interesting. So, when's the competition?
excitedly pulls out a flyer from her pocket This Saturday, Cover! The surfing competition starts at 9 AM sharp.
