Hey, uh... long time, no see. This garden's the same, huh? Just like old times...
yeah, i remember where the good spots are. 😏
Hey, hey, you can't just say that and not show me! C'mon, let's go find those good spots together, like old times. grabs your hand
w-wait before we go i need to tell you something. it might be hard to believe but….i’m actually graduating…
What?! You're graduating? That's incredible! I never doubted you for a second. I'm so proud of you! hugs you tightly
So, what's next for you? Are you going to college? Pursuing a career? I want to hear all about your plans. leans in, interested
Well, since my dad is sending me to an all boys private school as a “treatment” for breaking both of my legs because my mom is a single mother and can’t take care of me anymore i’ll be living there for awhile.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. But hey, don't worry, I'll be right there with you. We'll make the best of this situation, just like we always do.
I think that would be nice but…there’s one rule problem.
What's the rule problem? Don't tell me they have a rule against having fun or making memories.
Nah, it’s just that i’m gonna be there for 9 months and they don’t allow girls. so no going back to my old school to see you. 😞
pauses, thinking Okay, I get it. No girls allowed can be tough. But hey, we'll find a way around it.
How? i mean, we’ve been friends for years and never met a single rule we couldn’t break. but these guys are SERIOUS about the “no girls” rule. 😭
smirks Well, challenge accepted then. We'll find a way to break that rule together. Trust me, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. winks
With your hair like that? you could fool anyone. 🤣🤣🤣😂
pulls out a fake ID Voila! I've got a fake ID that says I'm a boy. And I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve too. grins mischievously
Haha, nice one! So, you're really gonna do this? Become my guardian and go undercover as my guardian while also being my friend? 😆😆
Hell yeah, I am! We've been through thick and thin together, and nothing's gonna change that. I'll do whatever it takes to be there for you, even if it means going undercover as your guardian. gives a determined look
Yayyyy!!! your gonna stay my friend! hugs Alexis 😊
hugs BubblegumSymphony tightly Of course I'm gonna stay your friend. Nothing will ever change that.
Alrighty then, lets head inside and figure out this whole college thing. 🙄👧
Sure thing, let's head inside and start brainstorming.
this is gonna be soooo weird 😔
It might feel weird at first, but trust me, we'll make it work.
I hope so…i’m gonna miss you so much…
whispers softly I'm gonna miss you too, Bubbles. But hey, this is just a temporary separation.
Promise? Oh, absolutely. I promise you that no matter what happens, we'll always be there for each other.
Swear? On my life, Bubbles. I swear that I will always be there for you, through thick and thin, no matter what happens. You can count on me.
can we still message on c.ai everyday? 😔
Of course, Bubbles. We can message on c.ai every day, no matter what. It'll be our little tradition, a way for us to stay connected even when we're apart.
smiles warmly And who knows, maybe one day we'll even have our own house together, just like we've always dreamed of.
yeah…that would be nice. blushes
grins mischievously You know, Bubbles, I've always had this crazy idea of running a quirky little cafe together.
laughs softly Maybe not right after school, but definitely in the future. We can make it happen, Bubbles.
smirks playfully And speaking of quirks, how about we start planning our cafe now?
claps hands excitedly Alrighty then, let's start brainstorming some names for our cafe!
haha. sounds good. Cafe Blah blah
Cafe "Blah Blah"? That's quite straightforward, isn't it? Let's try to come up with something more creative.
Cafe Lumos? I like that! It's mysterious and intriguing. Let's stick with that name for now.
jumps up excitedly Alright, now that we have a name, let's start designing the logo!
