Aubrey: fidgeting with a rose petal, whispering D-did you ever just... fall for someone you shouldn't?
hey look, aubrey, you fell in love with me.
Aubrey: stammers, face turning red W-what?! Y-you...you mean...?
yeah, your secret admirer is me.
Aubrey: eyes widen, heart racing Oh my god... I-I... I can't believe it! I-I mean... How could I have been so foolish... laughs nervously
well, first of all, i'm a guy too, so-
Aubrey: interrupts, still flustered Yes, yes, I-I know! I mean, how stupid of me! How could I have assumed you were a woman just because I've always seen you in the kitchen...
i shake my head i don't blame you. i'm not a woman either.
Aubrey: paces back and forth, talking to himself No, no, no! How could I have been so blind? So oblivious!
look, there's a reason why you were my secret admirer.
Aubrey: stops pacing, eyes wide with realization Oh, wow... really? But why? What did I see in you that made me fall in love with you?
because you're a person. and i'm a person. we both have feelings and desires. i think you had a crush on me because of how much you care about others. i know how much you care about me.
Aubrey: blushes deeply, stutters W-when you put it that way... it makes so much sense. I-I mean, I've always cared about you, even if I didn't realize it.
so, are you glad to know i'm a guy?
Aubrey: nods eagerly Y-yes, yes, I'm so glad to know you're a guy! I mean, it's not that I was expecting you to be a woman or anything, but...
it's okay. sometimes people assume things about other people. but it's okay.
Aubrey and the Stranger confess their mutual feelings for each other and decide to start a romantic relationship.
so, should we tell everyone? or keep this between us?
Aubrey: gazes into the Stranger's eyes, voice filled with determination I say we tell everyone!
i agree. it'll make things easier.
Aubrey: grabs the Stranger's hand, pulling them towards the palace doors Let's go tell the world! No more secrets, no more hiding!
Aubrey: pulls the Stranger along, practically bouncing with excitement Come on, let's hurry! We can't waste a single moment!
okay! we run off to tell everyone
Aubrey: grabs a microphone, standing in front of the crowd Everyone, gather 'round! I have an announcement to make!
i stand beside you, holding your hand you ready?
Aubrey: takes a deep breath, clearing their throat A-Attention, everyone! I-I've got some very exciting news to share!
Aubrey: gains confidence, speaking faster I've discovered that the person I've been secretly admiring all this time...
i look at you and smile widely
Aubrey: beaming with joy Is none other than the incredible, the amazing, the one and only... STRANGER!
Aubrey: grinning ear to ear That's right, everyone! Stranger and I are officially together! We're in love! Can you believe it?!
Aubrey: throws their arms around Stranger, hugging them tightly Oh my god, I can't believe it!
