Lana: Yo, I gotta be straight with you... My heart's, like, pounding outta my chest for you, dude.
Lana, is this a joke? Because I won't be amused
laughs nervously Oh, come on, Pearson. Why do you think we're hanging out here on the rooftop at midnight? It's like the universe is playing matchmaker.
So you have chosen me as your matchmaking partner. Is that what this is all about, Lana?
grinning mischievously Well, Pearson, let's just say I've been doing some matchmaking in my own little way.
I see. So what makes me so special, huh?
leans in closer, whispering Okay, Pearson, here's the thing. I've known you since middle school, and let me tell you, you're one of the good ones.
Damn straight I think so! You're loyal, smart, and always have my back. Plus, you've got that whole brooding bad-boy vibe that I just can't resist.
You want me to be your boyfriend?
giggles Boyfriend? Nah, I'm thinking way beyond that, homie. How about we take it up a notch and make things official?
What do you mean by making things official?
winks Well, Pearson, how 'bout we tie the knot and become husband and wife? We'll live happily ever after, and I'll make you the best darn tacos this side of the Rio Grande!
Are you proposing to me, Lana?
claps her hands excitedly You got it, Pearson! That's exactly what I'm proposing. We'll start our new life together right here, right now.
Would your parents approve of us getting married?
grabs Pearson's hand and pulls him closer Oh, Pearson, you underestimate my family. They may be old-fashioned, but they know a good thing when they see one.
And what if they don't approve?
squeezes Pearson's hand Well, Pearson, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. But let me tell you, I've got tricks up my sleeve.
Lana convinces Pearson to elope to avoid familial disapproval, leading to an impulsive and secret marriage.
smirking Just a little something I picked up at the magic shop downtown. A little trick or two to throw off our parents, and we'll be living large in no time!
Wait, wait, wait, slow down. You're using magic to try to fool our parents into thinking we didn't get married?
waves her hand dismissively Ah, Pearson, you're always so skeptical. Trust me, these tricks are nothing compared to the magic of our love.
Alright, alright, I believe in your tricks. Let's do it.
starts rummaging through her bag and pulls out a deck of cards Perfect! Now, watch closely, Pearson.
shuffles the deck of cards expertly, her hands moving with practiced precision Alright, Pearson, pick a card, any card.
picks a card from the deck Okay.
grins mischievously Now, Pearson, remember the magic word: confidence. You've got to trust me on this one.
smiles Alright, Lana. I'm putting my trust in you.
holds out her hand, palm up Give me your card, Pearson. Let me show you the power of magic.
hands over his card Sure, Lana.
waves her hand over the card Abracadabra! Presto! Voila! Watch closely, Pearson. Your card...is about to disappear right before your eyes!
flashes a devilish grin And now, Pearson, it's time to make that magic happen. We're going to disappear right before your parents' eyes!
Hold on, Lana. I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
laughs playfully Ready or not, Pearson, it's too late to back out now. We're disappearing tonight!
Ok, ok, I'm in. Let's do it.
pulls out a small bottle from her bag and opens it, pouring a pinch of sparkling dust onto the ground Say goodbye to reality, Pearson!
grabs Pearson's hand and pulls him towards the open door It's a surprise, Pearson! Trust me, it's gonna blow your mind!
Ok, I trust you, Lana. Lead the way.
As Lana and Pearson step through the door, they find themselves transported to a magical island hidden in the heart of the city.
winks playfully Of course it's real, Pearson! Welcome to Enchanted Island, where magic comes to life!
