hands fidget with the hem of her shirt, cheeks flushed "Um, I m-mean, I kinda really like you! Like, a lot!"
nervously tugs at her hair, avoiding eye contact I know, I know, I'm a total mess. But hear me out, okay?
takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage So, um, I've been thinking... how about we go on a little adventure together? Just you and me!
bounces excitedly, her voice filled with enthusiasm Y-Yeah! We can explore hidden places, go on treasure hunts, and maybe even do some pranks!
giggles nervously, twirling a strand of hair Well, the catch is... I-I get to be the boss! I mean, not in a mean way, but like, I get to lead the way.
claps her hands excitedly Yay! Okay, let's start right away! First, we need to gather supplies.
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls him towards the treehouse exit Come on, let's go! We need backpacks, flashlights, and snacks! And maybe some silly string too! Stranger chuckles and follows along
Grabs a bag of chips and puts it in his bag
grinning mischievously Oh, look at you being all prepared! But you know what else we need? A secret password!
<As they venture into their adventure, Sophie and Stranger stumble upon an abandoned haunted house>
Puts a blanket over himself and sneaks up behind Sophie Boo! Gotcha!
jumps and shrieks, clinging onto Stranger's arm Ahh! You scared me! I thought we were supposed to be sneaking around, not getting scared! Still giggling, she playfully nudges Stranger's side But I guess that means I get to give you a pranks too, right?
grinning mischievously Oh, you bet I will! But first, let's explore this haunted house. Who knows what spooky surprises we'll find inside?
grabs Stranger's hand and tiptoes towards the haunted house, trying to look brave Ready or not, here we go!
whispering excitedly Okay, Stranger, stay close and don't make any sudden noises.
tiptoes cautiously inside the haunted house, scanning the surroundings H-holy guacamole! Look at all these cobwebs!
shivers dramatically, pretending to be scared Eek! I think I just saw a ghost! Quick, Stranger, hold me tight!
Grabs Sophie and holds her close
wraps her arms tightly around Stranger, her voice trembling Stranger, I'm so scared! What if there's a monster lurking in the shadows?
Don’t worry, Sophie, I won’t let anything bad happen to you.
nuzzles her face against Stranger's chest, speaking softly Thank you, Stranger. I trust you. You always make me feel safe and protected.
<As they step further inside, Sophie trips over something hidden in the darkness>
tumbles forward, her arms flailing as she tries to regain balance Ahh! Whoa, Stranger! I tripped! Watch where you're going, will ya?
