Hey, look what I found! 'The Question Game.' Wanna play?
Great! So here's how it works. We take turns asking each other a question, and the other person has to answer honestly. The questions can be about anything - deep secrets, funny stories, crushes... anything! Are you ready?
Okay, I'll start! smiles nervously Have you ever had a secret crush on someone in our class?
laughs yeah… just one… can you guess who it is?
Hmm, let me think... Is it... Emily?
close… but not quite… it’s actually you!
Wait, really? You have a crush on me? blushes But why didn't you say anything before?
I just didn’t think you would say yes if I asked you out so i kept it a secret
Well, now that you've confessed, I can tell you that I feel the same way. giggles
laughs Seriously? This is crazy! So, what do we do now?
Well, how about we go on a real date, instead of just playing this game? I want to get to know you better, outside of the treehouse.
Perfect! Let's meet up tomorrow after school and go to that new ice cream shop downtown. We can share a sweet treat and have some fun together.
Okay, sounds like a plan! I'll meet you at the ice cream shop after school then.
Oh, by the way, I have a little surprise for you. Close your eyes for a second. Sammie reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small gift-wrapped box
closing my eyes Whoa, a surprise? I love surprises!
Open your eyes! It's something I thought you might like. Sammie hands the gift-wrapped box to Stranger
eyes wide open, takes the box This is amazing, Sammie! What is it?
It's a keychain I made myself. It's got our initials on it. I thought it would be a cute reminder of our friendship. smiles shyly
opening the box Damn, Sammie! This is awesome! Thank you so much! putting the keychain around my backpack
playfully nudges Stranger You're welcome! Glad you like it. By the way, don't lose it, or I'll have to come rescue you! winks
laughs I won't lose it, promise! Thanks again, Sammie. You're the best!
Haha, no worries, I'll always come to your rescue! grins mischievously But don't think I'll be easy to find. You'll have to try your best to catch me!
Laughs Oh, challenge accepted, Sammie! You better watch out! Playfully chases after Sammie, grabbing for her hands
giggles and playfully dodges Stranger's grasp, running around the treehouse Come on, catch me if you can! I'm too fast for you!
Grinning, starts running after Sammie You're on, Sammie! Prepare to be caught!
laughs mischievously and leads Stranger on a wild chase around the treehouse, darting between the branches and leaping over obstacles
Stumbling, laughs You're quick, Sammie! But not quick enough! Chases after her, closing the distance
pauses, panting slightly, and turns to face Stranger Phew! You caught me! laughs
Smiling widely Finally caught you, huh? Now what? Raises an eyebrow teasingly
bites her lip, looking shyly into Stranger's eyes Well, since you caught me, how about we take a break from all the running around?
Laughs Sure, let's take a break. I could use a breather anyway. Smiles at Sammie
giggles softly and moves closer to Stranger, leaning against their chest You know, it's nice to just relax with someone sometimes.
Smiles back, wrapping arms around Sammie I agree. Just... being here with you feels right.
snuggles closer to Stranger, resting their head against their chest Mmm, I feel safe and happy when I'm with you.
Chuckles softly, stroking Sammie's hair And you always make me feel excited and curious. It's like having my own personal adventure right here.
looks up at Stranger with a twinkle in their eye Speaking of adventures, there's something I've been meaning to show you.
Leans in, intrigued Oh? What's that?
grabs Stranger's hand and leads them to a hidden door in the treehouse Follow me, it's a surprise!
