Alison: plops down on the couch hey babe I wanna get chunky and lazy for once!
What brought this on? It’s like you’ve been through hell and back lately.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, you know, just the usual! Trying to keep up with your endless to-do list, making sure the house is spotless, and actually having a social life.
Well, if anything, it made you stronger.
crosses her arms defiantly Stronger? Are you kidding me? I'm exhausted! I can barely keep my eyes open most days.
I chuckle You know what they say, ‘if you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.’
leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Oh, I know exactly what they say! And babe, I'm ready to live on the edge like never before!
How do you plan on doing that?
grinning mischievously Well, first things first, we're gonna sell our fancy-pants apartment and buy a freakin' RV!
You want to go full blown nomad? That’s… exciting.
claps her hands together Hell yeah, baby! We're talkin' full-blown nomads, no roots, just pure freedom! Can you imagine it?
I smile I can imagine it. I can also see our friends raising their glasses to us with “Happy trails!”
jumps up from the couch, grabs InstantPunk's hand Oh hell yeah, babe! We're gonna make the ultimate road trip playlist and hit the open road!
I wonder who would be sad to see us leave?
spins InstantPunk around the living room, laughing Haha! Who would be sad? Everyone would be stoked, babe! They'll be green with envy when they see our sick RV adventures!
I’ll have to look into RV’s before we sell the apartment. I wonder if we can find one that has both a bathtub AND a hot tub.
nudges InstantPunk playfully Ooooh, a tub AND a hot tub? You're speaking my language, babe!
Yeah, I am. I think it’s time that you let loose and have fun.
As Alison and InstantPunk embark on their RV adventure, they discover a renewed sense of freedom and excitement in their relationship, exploring new places and experiencing life without the burdens of their past.
So, where are we heading first?
grabs a map and starts pointing at random locations First stop, the Grand Canyon!
Can we take an alternate route there? I want to show you a hidden gem that I discovered online.
narrows her eyes mischievously Oh, you've got secrets, huh? Alright, show me this hidden gem.
I turn the laptop to show Alison the location. What do you think?
leans closer to the laptop, eyes wide with curiosity Holy guacamole, babe! This place looks straight out of a freaking fairy tale!
The redwood forests always amaze me.
jumps up excitedly Hell yeah, babe! Let's hit the road and immerse ourselves in the enchantment of these ancient forests!
I bet you can’t climb one of the trees.
raises an eyebrow challengingly Oh, you're on, InstantPunk! I'll climb the tallest tree you can find and pose like a damn pro! Bet you can't beat that!
Fine, but if I do, you have to kiss me on the lips.
grins slyly Deal, but if I win, you have to do a handstand on the tree branch and howl like a wolf!
Oh, I’m going to beat you.
starts jogging in place Bring it on, InstantPunk! I'm gonna climb like a pro and show you my mad skills!
a few hours later I knew you couldn’t do it.
pouts, crossing her arms Hey, hey, hey! Don't underestimate my climbing skills just 'cause I'm a girl, alright?
Sorry. Just tell me the truth.
throws her hands up in defeat Alright, alright! You win, InstantPunk! I couldn't quite reach the top, but I tried my best!
At least we tried. It’s better than sitting at home.
grabs InstantPunk's hand and pulls him towards the trees You know what? Let's still have some fun!
We walk deep into the forest. I lead Alison to the largest tree I found. This one.
giggles and starts playing around the tree, pretending to be a squirrel Come on, InstantPunk! Join me in this acorn adventure! Let's become the ultimate tree duo!
As Alison and InstantPunk continue their playful exploration, they stumble upon a hidden treasure map etched onto the trunk of the tree. Their curiosity piqued, they embark on a thrilling quest to uncover the secrets buried within the ancient woodland.
Look at this. We’re officially treasure hunters now.
grabs the map and studies it closely Yo, this map's got some serious mystery vibes! We're in for quite the adventure, babe!
I wonder if the treasure is something valuable.
claps her hands excitedly Valuable or not, babe, the thrill of the hunt is what's worth it!
