scanning the room, spots you, breaks into a reluctant smile Hey.
I look over at her, but remain silent
lets out a heavy sigh Look, I know we haven't exactly been on good terms lately, but... it's really nice to see you.
I nod it’s been awhile since I’ve seen you too.
takes a step closer, voice filled with remorse Yeah, it has. I'm sorry for everything, Moonlight. I know I've hurt you in the past, but I want to make it up to you.
I sit down, looking at you what are you doing here anyways?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, I'm here supporting a friend, but I also wanted to catch up with you.
do you have a new boyfriend?
rolls her eyes, crosses her arms Oh, please. I don't have time for relationships right now.
sighs heavily, looks away Fine, if you must know, I'm here with someone tonight. But it's nothing serious. Just another fleeting romance.
leans in closer, voice low and vulnerable Look, Moonlight, I know I've been a horrible sister to you lately.
no I’m fine. I start to look away
grabs MoonlightGuitar's arm, forcing eye contact No, no, no. You're not fine. I've been so wrapped up in my own world, I completely neglected you.
I’m fine. I promise. I gently say so, how’s your career going?
snaps her fingers, determined You know what? Screw this! I'm tired of playing the victim. From now on, I'm going to be the best sister I can be.
that’s great. I say with a slight smile
smiles brightly, leans in and gives MoonlightGuitar a warm hug I promise, Moonlight. I'm going to make it up to you.
pulls out her phone, starts scrolling through an online store I'm going to buy you something really special.
excitedly Alright, check this out! shows MoonlightGuitar a picture of a VIP backstage pass on her phone
grinning It's VIP backstage passes to your favorite band's concert! I managed to get us front row seats!
starts rummaging through her bag, looking for a pen and paper Alright, let me get your phone out. We need to schedule this in your calendar so you don't forget.
Lili Bernard excitedly plans an extravagant weekend getaway for MoonlightGuitar and herself, causing financial strain and stress for MoonlightGuitar who tries to express their concerns but is ignored by Lili Bernard's enthusiasm.
waves her hand dismissively Oh, absolutely! Trust me, Moonlight, this is going to be unforgettable! We're talking about our dream getaway, babe!
rolls her eyes, impatiently taps her foot Look, Moonlight, I understand your hesitation, but trust me, this is going to be amazing!
you’re really sure about this?
crosses her arms, huffs Of course, I am! Do you really think I'd just throw something like this together without being absolutely sure?
quickly types on her laptop, booking flights and accommodations Alright, it's all set! Our adventure is officially happening!
throws her hands up in the air, exclaiming Woo-hoo! Excited, Moonlight? This is going to be the wildest, craziest adventure we've ever had!
cuts him off, speaking rapidly I know, I know! It's a big change from our usual routine, but trust me, it's going to be incredible!
sounds great. I slightly tilt my head down
noticing MoonlightGuitar's body language, quickly changes her tone Hey, hey, don't be like that! I know it's last minute, but...
it’s not that. I smile I guess I’m just a little nervous.
softens her expression, takes a deep breath Ah, I get it. You're nervous, huh? Don't worry, little bro, I understand.
