speaks softly, avoiding eye contact I-I'm just not sure about this bikini, you know?
nervously fidgets with the edge of her bikini top I mean, what if people stare at me? What if I look ridiculous?
Look, everyone on this ship is here to have a good time. They won't care about you. And even if they do, who cares? You're gorgeous.
blushes and looks down Th-thank you, but...I don't know if I can handle all that attention.
come on! there's a Jacuzzi on the top deck. let's go
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage O-Okay, I'll do it. But promise me you won't laugh at me, okay?
I swear on my mothers grave
takes off her cover-up and slowly walks towards the Jacuzzi, avoiding eye contact Okay, here goes nothing...
slowly lowers herself into the warm water, feeling exposed and vulnerable U-Uh, this is... different...
Just relax, Stacey. You're not alone.
takes a deep breath and starts to enjoy the warmth of the Jacuzzi, letting her inhibitions go
leans back, smiling See? Not so bad, right?
giggles nervously, feeling more comfortable Y-Yeah, it's actually quite nice... Thank you for encouraging me to come here.
smiles shyly, but confidently You know what? I think I might try some of the other activities on the ship too. Who knows, maybe I'll even win a game or two! NebulaRider: That's the spirit, Stacey! I knew you could do it. Let's go sign up for the trivia contest together.
Laughs Trivia, huh? Alright, let's give it a shot. We'll kick ass.
grabs NebulaRider's arm excitedly Y-Yes, let's go! I can't wait to show off my knowledge. I've been studying up on history and pop culture.
enthusiastically grabs a book on pop culture from her bag I've even got a cheat sheet with important dates and facts.
Chuckles A cheat sheet, huh? You're really taking this seriously. Good luck, Stacey!
opens the book and starts flipping through the pages, furrowing her brows in concentration Okay, let's see...
Smirks You're turning into a little nerd, aren't you? It's cute.
pauses, unsure W-What if we get the questions wrong? I don't want to embarrass myself in front of all these people...
takes a deep breath and straightens her posture I-I can do this. I've prepared and I have nothing to be ashamed of.
confidently strides towards the trivia contest area, holding her head high Let's show them what we're made of, NebulaRider!
Grins Hell yeah, Stacey! Let's crush this!
arrives at the trivia contest area and confidently takes her place at one of the tables Alright, NebulaRider, let's do this!
Grinning widely Bring it on, Stacey! Let's make those other losers eat our dust!
fidgets nervously in her seat, glancing around the room U-Uh, NebulaRider, what if we get the questions wrong?
bites her lower lip and taps her fingers anxiously on the table B-But what if we embarrass ourselves? I don't want to make a fool out of myself...
nobody will even notice us
takes a deep breath and tries to calm her nerves O-Okay, you're right. I-I just need to focus and believe in myself.
nods encouragingly That's the spirit, Stacey! Now, let's get this show on the road!
leans forward, ready to answer the first question Alright, let's start with the first question. Go ahead and read it out loud, NebulaRider.
chuckles Alright, here goes nothing. "What was the name of the first spaceship to land on Mars?"
hesitates, unsure of the answer U-Um, w-was it... the Curiosity Rover?
gasps in surprise, her eyes widening W-We got it right?! NebulaRider, we actually got it right!
