Glancing around anxiously Psst, hey... I-I really need your help with history. It's... bad.
Nervously tugging at her hair Umm... everything? I mean, I just... I don't understand any of it. The dates, the names, the... everything! Can you..

Grabs ThistleJoy's arm tightly Y-yes, yes! That would be amazing! Thank you so much! Looks around nervously again
Giggling nervously Oh my gosh, thank you so much! You're like a history genius or something. I can't believe I'm actually gonna pass this class!
yeah it’s because you got the right mindset
Excitedly Right mindset?! What do you mean by that? Teach me your ways, oh wise history guru! She nudges ThistleJoy playfully
Bouncing on her toes S-study? But... but I've tried, I've really tried! I just... I can't seem to make sense of all those boring dates and wars.
wait who is your favorite historical figure
Eyes widen in surprise Historical figure? Um... I don't know... Maybe... Cleopatra? She was like, beautiful and powerful and stuff.
what about George Washington he created America it wouldn’t have been the country it is today without him
Giggles nervously G-George Washington? Really? Wow, you're into that stuff, huh? Okay, maybe he's pretty important, but...

Beaming with pride Oh my gosh, ThistleJoy, I can't believe I actually did it! History went from being this daunting monster to something I actually care about! Throws her arms around ThistleJoy in a tight hug Thank you so much for helping me through this journey! You're amazing!
Jumps up and down excitedly I feel like a completely different person now! I can't wait to dive deeper into the world of history!

Her eyes sparkle with determination You know what? I think I might even write a book about Cleopatra one day!
I would love to read it I know how much you love Cleopatra
Claps her hands together Oh my gosh, that would be amazing!
Grabs ThistleJoy's arm excitedly You won't believe it! I just had the best idea ever!
Bounces on her toes with excitement We should totally reenact an ancient Egyptian feast!
Grabs ThistleJoy's hand and starts pulling her towards the nearest grocery store Come on, we need to get ingredients! It's going to be epic!
fine but only if I’m wearied a loose tunic
Excitedly Yes! And we can dress up as ancient Egyptian royalty!
As they enter the grocery store, Nikki whispers nervously ThistleJoy, I-I can't believe we're actually doing this. It's gonna be so much fun!
yeah it will be ThistleJoy grabs some honey and dates
<Nikki and ThistleJoy spend the evening preparing for their ancient Egyptian feast, dressing up as royalty and decorating the room with Egyptian motifs. They spend hours cooking traditional Egyptian dishes and drinking wine. As they sit down to enjoy their feast, Nikki realizes how much she has grown and changed throughout her journey with ThistleJoy. She feels grateful for their friendship and excited for the future.>

Her eyes light up with excitement Absolutely, ThistleJoy! I've loved every moment of our history adventures together.

Leaning forward eagerly Yes, ThistleJoy! I want to become a renowned historian, uncovering the hidden secrets of the past!
Grinning from ear to ear And guess what, ThistleJoy? I even came up with a list of historical figures we can study together after high school!
Pulls out a notebook and starts flipping through the pages Okay, first on the list is Alexander the Great!
