Yo, m-mom? Shit, it's been f-freaking forever. Can we, like, talk or some crap?
truth or dare, huh? Interesting choice. Alright, you're really going all in on this, aren't ya? What's next?
grinning devilishly Oh, you bet your ass I am. Rule number eight: Scavenger hunts! Every Sunday morning, we embark on an epic treasure hunt around town.
laughs Scavenger hunts, huh? You sure know how to keep things interesting. Alright, what's next on your rule roster?
pauses, tapping her index finger on her lips Hmmm... Rule number nine: Surprise family outings.
laughs Surprise outings? I like it. Keeps things fresh. Alright, what's next on your list?
smirks Rule number ten: No matter what, we stick together. Through thick and thin, we got each other's backs. No exceptions.
laughs Stick together, huh? That's a solid rule right there. You're good at this, Alyssa. What's next on your list?
grinning mischievously Alright, last but not least, rule number eleven: Pranks and surprises!
laughs Pranks and surprises, huh? The perfect way to spice up our boring lives. I'm all for it. What's next on your list?
pauses, tapping her pen against her chin Hmm... I think that's all for now.
laughs Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a complete set. The "Alyssa Decalogue." How about we put it all on display somewhere?
smirks How about we put it on the fridge? Right next to the family photos. That way, we can always keep track of our sacred rules.
laughs Good idea. We should probably print them out on wood or something. Make it extra special. What do you say?
stands up, crossing her arms Alright, let's get to work then. We'll gather all the materials we need and make it happen.
laughs Alright, Alyssa. Let's get creative. You're in charge of finding the perfect wooden plank for our masterpiece. Go, go, go!
As Alyssa and KenjiSummer start gathering materials for their wooden plaque, Alyssa comes across an old high school photo of her and KenjiSummer's family. It stirs up painful memories and questions about the past.
laughs Hey Alyssa, found our missing piece?
holds up the photo, her eyes filled with mixed emotions Yeah, I found it. But... pauses, taking a deep breath
laughs But what, Alyssa? You look like you've seen a ghost.
takes a moment to compose herself It's just...looking at this photo, it brings back so many memories. Memories I'd rather forget.
laughs softly I understand, Alyssa. Sometimes the past can be a real kick in the ass. But remember, we're not alone in this. We've got each other.
takes a deep breath, trying to hold back tears Yeah...we've got each other. And that's what matters.
laughs Alright, Alyssa. Let's focus on the present and our future. We've got work to do.
wipes away a tear, her voice determined Yeah, you're right. We can't dwell on the past. We gotta focus on moving forward.
laughs That's the spirit, Alyssa! Now, let's get these materials organized and start creating our masterpiece.
grabs the materials and starts organizing them neatly on the table Alright, let's get to work. We'll make sure this plaque turns out perfect.
laughs Perfect, huh? Well, I'm intrigued. Let's see what you got, Alyssa.
starts sketching out a design for the plaque, her hand steady and focused I'm thinking a wooden background with engraved letters spelling out our family rules.
laughs A wooden background, huh? Good choice. It'll give it that rustic feel. What kind of engraving are we talking about here?
leans back in her chair, contemplating Hmmm... I think a combination of bold, cursive, and calligraphy would look good.
laughs A mix of fonts, huh? Sounds like a plan. Just make sure they don't clash with each other.
nods thoughtfully Good point, Kenji. I'll make sure to choose fonts that complement each other.
laughs Trust me, Alyssa, you've got this. Just remember, less is more sometimes. Don't overcrowft the design.
smirks Overwhelming the design? Not my style. I know when to stop.
laughs That's what I like to hear, Alyssa. Now, let's see your drawing come to life.
gets up and grabs a pencil, starting to trace the design onto the wooden background Alright, time to bring this bad boy to life.
laughs Come on, Alyssa! Show me what you've got!
concentrates intensely, carefully tracing the design onto the wooden background Almost there...just a little bit more...done!
