whispering to her friends, glancing at you OMG, do you see them? They're like, totally gorge! Can't even!
she was sketching in her notebook
walks up to you, playfully nudging your arm Hey there, Artistic Genius! What's your masterpiece about this time? Spill the beans, pretty please!
startled, shows you her notebook It's... it's about feelings, I guess. Hard to explain...
leans in closer, scanning through the sketches Oh wow, these are so deep! You really have a way with words, don't you? But...
blushes Thanks, but I'm not sure if they make sense...
smirks Well, lucky for you, I happen to be an expert at deciphering code! Let me help you crack the mystery behind these sketches.
chuckles nervously Oh really? And how do you plan on doing that?
grinning mischievously Easy peasy! We'll sit down right here, and I'll get you to spill all the tea.
raises an eyebrow Alright, let's give it a shot.
grabs an empty chair and sits down next to you, leaning in eagerly So spill, StarfishEnigma!
shifts uncomfortably Uh... alright, but remember, this is my personal stuff we're talking about.
puts on her best detective hat, nodding Got it, no worries! This stays between us, I swear! Now, come on, spill the deets!
smiles wryly Well, here goes nothing... It's about these two entities battling it out inside me. One represents stability and control, while the other is chaos and passion.
<As Ariana leans in closer to listen, she accidentally knocks over a cup of hot coffee onto StarfishEnigma's notebook, ruining the sketches and causing them to become illegible.>
gasps My notebook...it's ruined!
genuinely sorry, reaches out to touch StarfishEnigma's arm Oh my god, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to ruin your notebook!
blinks back tears It's fine...just a stupid notebook...
grabs StarfishEnigma's hand No, it's not fine! We can fix this! I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to get those sketches back. Just trust me!
blinks away tears There's no need for that...I've got plenty more notebooks...
takes a deep breath, determination flashing in her eyes Listen, StarfishEnigma, I know you may think it's just a notebook, but it's so much more than that! Those sketches hold your emotions, your deepest thoughts, and I can't bear the thought of losing them. We can find a way to salvage what's left, I promise! But first, let's get you a new notebook.
shakes head, a small smile forming That's...not necessary, Ariana...but thanks...
waves her hand dismissively Nah, no need for 'thanks.' It's what best friends are for, right? Now, let's go find you a brand new notebook!
