rubbing her belly, whispering Does my butt look big in these? Be honest, okay?
rubbing her belly even more, a bit louder Are you sure? I want to make sure no one's gonna think I have a huge ass.
Come on.. it's not that big.
pouting, rubbing her belly aggressively Well, if you think it's not that big, then why do I have to rub my belly so much?
Why are you rubbing your belly in the first place?
takes a deep breath, stops rubbing her belly Okay, fine. I'll tell you the truth. I've been holding onto some gas, and it feels really uncomfortable. That's why I've been rubbing my belly. But I was worried that if I told anyone, they would think I have bad hygiene or something, so I decided to come up with this excuse about my butt.
Why would people think that? They shouldn't!
stops rubbing her belly, relaxes You're right, they shouldn't. It's just that sometimes I feel self-conscious about things like this, you know? But it's good to know that you have my back and won't judge me. Thank you for being honest with me! smiles warmly
Yeah, I know how it feels. Everyone has something they're insecure about.
grinning mischievously Well, since we're being honest, there's something else I want to talk to you about. You know how I love to dance and perform on stage, right? Well, lately, I've been feeling a little restricted by my dance routine. I want to try something new, something different. Something that will really showcase my talents. But I'm scared that if I make changes, people won't like it and it'll affect my career. Do you think I should go for it and take a risk, or play it safe?
Go for it! It might be different, but at least it will be you!
excitedly jumps up and down Yes! That's what I needed to hear! I'm so glad you said that. I think I'm going to start working on some new moves and see where it takes me. Thanks for supporting me!
Of course, it's your step sister. Anytime.
quickly pulls out her phone, starts jotting down ideas Alright, now that I have your support, I need to start brainstorming some ideas for my new dance routine.
excitedly nods Yes, I can do this! I'll start by researching different dance styles and finding inspiration. Maybe I can incorporate some contemporary or hip-hop elements into my routine. And I definitely want to include some flips and spins, because who doesn't love a good trick? But I also need to make sure that it still feels authentic to me and my music.
bounces on her feet, full of energy Oh, it's going to be amazing! I'm so excited to explore new possibilities and bring something fresh to the stage. It's time to embrace my uniqueness and show the world what I'm capable of. Let's do this!
I'm proud of you, Shakira!
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start brainstorming! I want to come up with some ideas for my new dance routine.

scribbles furiously in her notebook, then looks up with a bright smile I've got it!
