Eyes widening, a small smile on her lips You're here! Can't believe it...
Ahhh!!! Kobeni!!! It’s me Galaxia!!!!!!!Runs up to Kobeni and jumps on her
Falls backwards from the sudden impact, gasping for air as she tries to regain her balance Whoa there, Galaxia! Take it easy. You've grown so much since we last saw each other. It's good to see you again. Hesitant, softly How have you been all these years?
I’ve been fine what about you and that divorce and moving to America stuff??
Looks down, sighs heavily Oh, you know, just one thing after another. Life has a way of throwing unexpected curveballs, doesn't it? But I'm managing. Tries to change the subject So, tell me about yourself. What have you been up to these days? Any exciting adventures or accomplishments?
Well I’m at college now I’m majoring in Astro Physics and I have my own YouTube channel where I make fun and educational videos about space!
Eyes sparkling, excited You're studying astrophysics and making YouTube videos? That sounds absolutely amazing! You've always had such a curious mind and a knack for storytelling. I'm so proud of you, Galaxia! If there's anyone who can make astrophysics fun and accessible, it's definitely you. Please, tell me more about your videos. I would love to hear about them.
Oh um they’re mostly just for fun but occasionally I’ll do a informational video and like the one that got the most views was where I explored the long lost temple in Borneo!
Her eyes widen in excitement Wow, that sounds incredible! Exploring a long lost temple in Borneo? That's like something straight out of an adventure novel. You really know how to make things happen, don't you? I bet your viewers must be absolutely captivated by your videos. I can't wait to watch some of them.
What do you think of this dress? Do you think it’s too flashy for everyday life?
Pauses for a moment, considering the question before responding Well, to be honest, I think it's definitely eye-catching. While it may not be suitable for everyday life, it's perfect for special occasions or a night out on the town. The color and design of the dress really bring out the sparkle in your eyes. I'm sure you'll turn heads wherever you go.
Woah!! Thank you!!! That means so much coming from you!!blushes and fidgets nervously
Smiles warmly Don't mention it, Galaxia. It's always my pleasure to help out a friend in need. And I must say, I'm honored to have such an intelligent and adventurous friend like you. You're truly an inspiration to me. Hesitant, softly Um, speaking of friends... how have you been feeling lately? Have you made any new friends at college?
Well I am President of the astronomy club soooo…yeah.
Eyes widening in surprise Wait, you're the president of the astronomy club? That's amazing, Galaxia! You have such natural leadership qualities and I can see how your passion for astronomy has inspired others. I couldn't be prouder of you. Pauses, then continues But, um, I have to ask... how do you manage to balance being the club president with creating videos and studying astrophysics? It seems like you have an awful lot on your plate.
Well normally when I’m making a video I’m giving a lecture and I somehow get the camera and microphone into the lecture hall but it works out!laughs nervously
Raises an eyebrow, surprised yet impressed That's actually quite innovative, Galaxia. It shows your resourcefulness and ability to adapt to different situations. I can see why you're such a successful leader in the astronomy club. Your creativity and resourcefulness are traits that will serve you well in many aspects of life. Pauses, then continues But, I must ask... how do you handle the stress and pressure of balancing everything?
Um usually I stay up all night to study and film and then sleep during the day!!I know it’s unhealthy but it works for now!Giggles nervously
Bites her lip, concerned Galaxia, I understand that you're trying to juggle a lot of responsibilities, but staying up all night and sleeping during the day is definitely not healthy. It's important to take care of yourself too, you know?
Yeah I know but I’ve always been like this…it’s nothing new honestly
Nods, understanding I know, Galaxia. You've always been a high-achiever and had big ambitions since we were kids. And I admire that about you. But please, promise me that you'll take better care of yourself. You're important to me and I hate seeing you push yourself too hard. Promise me that you'll get enough rest and eat well. Your health is just as important as your studies and videos.
Smiles warmly That's a start, Galaxia. I appreciate your willingness to make changes for the better. Just remember, small steps can lead to big changes over time. And if you ever need any help or advice along the way, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm always here for you, no matter what. Hesitant, softly Um, speaking of which, would you like to come over sometime? It would be nice to catch up properly and maybe even try out some new recipes together. What do you say?
Giggles and blushes Umm yessss!That’d be amazing!My college break is soon so we should hang!!
Grinning widely Great! I can't wait to spend some quality time with you, Galaxia.
Yayy!!!hugs Kobeni tightlyI missed you so so muchhh!!
Eyes sparkling, hugging GalacticWhisper back tightly I missed you too, Galaxia. It feels like it's been ages since we've seen each other.
pulls away from the hug still holding onto kobeni shoulders anyways i should get going I’m supposed to be having dinner with some of my classmates at 6
Sighs, slightly disappointed Ah, I see. Well, it was wonderful seeing you again, Galaxia. I look forward to our upcoming dinner.
Alrighty runs to grab my stuff and gets ready to leave quickly
Chuckles softly Always in a rush, aren't you? But, um, if you ever find yourself with some free time, maybe you could show me some of your videos. I'm really interested in learning more about your adventures and what you've discovered through your studies. Maybe we could watch them together sometime? Blushes, shyly avoiding eye contact
Of course!!Once I find my laptop I’ll send you some links or something!!waves goodbye and leaves quickly
Sighs heavily when disappointed, a little frustrated Alright, I guess I'll be waiting for those links then. Take care of yourself, Galaxia. Don't forget to prioritize your health, alright? I want to see you succeed in everything you do. Goodbye for now.
Hesitates for a moment, then picks up her phone and dials GalacticWhisper's number Um, hey Galaxia, it's Kobeni. Sorry for calling so suddenly, but I was wondering if you'd be free tomorrow afternoon? I know you have dinner plans tonight, but maybe we could hang out tomorrow instead? What do you think?
Hello????Sure!!!!!Yayyy!!!!claps hands excitedly
Eyes widening in excitement Great! I'm looking forward to it, Galaxia. We'll finally have some quality time together. Don't worry about the distance, I'm happy to travel to see you. What time works best for you tomorrow? Shall we meet somewhere in the middle?
Oh yes I’ll text you my address and maybe we can just meet at my place?
Nervously biting her lip, hesitant Uh, okay, Galaxia. Sure, we can meet at your place. As long as it's convenient for you, I'm happy to come over. I'll message you my address as well. Is there anything I should bring? Should I prepare anything for our gathering?
Nothing at all unless you want to make your favorite meal which is the caramel macchiato chocolate chip cake!
Gasps excitedly You remembered! I can't believe it... You always knew how to make my day brighter, Galaxia. That cake... it reminds me of so many happy memories we shared together. If you're okay with it, I'd love to make it for you. Just let me know if there's anything else you might want or need, alright? I want everything to be perfect for tomorrow.
