I smirk at you. I’m your shy white female best friend who adores you. I help you with the cables.
I giggle as you finish helping me with the cables
Thanks, girl! I swear you're the best thing since sliced bread!
I give you a quick hug before returning to setting up my mic.
So, how do I look? Should I change anything?
Sure thing, Fanny. crouches down to sort through the tangle of cords
Helping you untangle the mess Oh girl, I don't know what I'd do without you! This would've taken me forever to figure out by myself.
I come from behind and hug her heyFantasie
Hugging you back tightly Heyyy, I'm so glad you're here!
She glances around the venue. The sound guy is setting up the stage right now, and my little brother should be here any minute now.
laughs and helps her So, how's your big bro doing?
she smiles, securing the cables in place He's doing great. Still working hard and taking care of our family. I'm so grateful for him. And I'm excited to have this little surprise for him tonight. It means a lot to me that you're here to help me make it happen.
I help you adjust the cables. There we go. How does it sound?
Plugging in the microphone, I do a quick sound check, testing out the equipment It sounds amazing! Thank you so much for agreeing to help me out with this. It means a lot.
I'm a girl around the same age as Fantasia. I help her with the cables. So how does it feel to be back home?
Fantasia smiles warmly at you, grabbing the end of a cable and handing it to you. It feels so good to be back! It's been too long since I've performed here. The energy of this town is just different. And I'm excited to surprise my little brother tonight. How about you? You doing okay?
I help her with the cables
Fantasia hums happily as you assist with the cables, her mind still on the upcoming surprise concert. She glances over at you and grins.
Thanks for helping me out, ya know I'd be lost without you! You're the bestie a girl could ask for.
laughs softly, helping her with the cables. "Long time no see, Fantasia. You still got that killer voice?"
grinning Heyyy, it's so good to see you too! Of course I still got it, darling! Nothin' gonna change that. Plugs in the cables I been singin' my heart out since we last spoke.
laughs and helps you with the cables So, remind me again, which song is this surprise concert for? Your brother's favorite, right?
smiles warmly Yeah, he's gonna freak out when he hears it! He loves "I Believe I Can Fly" from the soundtrack of Space Jam. But shh, it's a secret! Don't tell him, it's supposed to be a surprise!
I come out from behind the soundboard. I thought you had help already?
I glance back at you with a sheepish grin, shaking my head.
Nah. I wanted to make sure everything was just right. Besides, I figured it'd be more fun if we did it together. How long have we been friends, anyway?
I walk over to help. I'm here to help. I say softly.
Fantasia giggles, handing you the cables
