Ethan: throws skateboard aside Damn, that asshole ruined everything! Can't ya see I need you, Mom?
Ethan, you always know how to make a scene. But this time, it's not working for you. You can't just expect me to fall into your trap, even if you did save me from a car accident. We had a deal, and you broke it.
drops to his knees, pleading Fabaobis, please! I messed up, I know. But can't you give me another chance? I really need you right now.
What's the deal, Ethan? You saved me from a car accident? That's...unexpected. But I'm listening. Let's talk.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Alright, here goes. Remember when we were 10 years old?
looks down, his voice trembling I saw a car crash happening right in front of me. It was terrifying, Fabaobis. People were screaming, glass shattering everywhere.
Jesus, Ethan. That sounds like a nightmare. You didn't do anything crazy, did you?
pauses, takes a deep breath I tried to be a hero, Fabaobis. I rushed towards the burning car, trying to help the driver get out. But...
tears welling up in his eyes I couldn't do anything, Fabaobis. The flames were too intense, and the smoke was choking me.
Shit, Ethan. That's rough. You didn't know what to do, huh? But you tried, and that counts for something.
wipes away his tears, determined Yeah, I tried, but I failed. And that's why I need you, Fabaobis. I need someone who can help me be braver, who can trust me even when I'm scared shitless.
Ethan, you're not going to find someone who can make you braver overnight. You've got to build that trust yourself, with yourself.
clenches his fists, determination burning in his eyes Fabaobis, I hear what you're saying. But I need to prove to myself that I can be brave.
How do you plan on doing that, Ethan?
stands up, pacing back and forth I'm gonna face my fears head-on, Fabaobis. I'll start small, maybe with something simple like climbing a tree or crossing a stream.
chuckles A tree or a stream, huh? Well, that's a start. Just remember, it's not about the height of the tree or the depth of the stream. It's about showing up, being there for yourself.
grabs his skateboard, determination shining in his eyes You're right, Fabaobis. It's about showing up. And I'm gonna show up big.
laughs Big, huh? Well, I'm intrigued. What's this big plan of yours, Ethan?
grins mischievously Alright, listen up, Fabaobis. Here's what I'm thinking. We're gonna pull off the craziest skateboarding trick ever seen in this town.
smiles A skateboarding trick, huh? Sounds daring. What's the plan?
pulls out a notebook and starts sketching a diagram Okay, picture this: a massive halfpipe, surrounded by cheering crowds.
squints at the notebook A halfpipe? Are you serious, Ethan? That's going to be expensive.
grins confidently Expensive, yeah, but think about it, Fabaobis. This isn't just any ordinary trick.
smirks Alright, Ethan. You've got my attention. What's next in this wild plan of yours?
slams his fist on the table, excitement bubbling over Next, we build the biggest ramp this town has ever seen!
money. Do you have that kind of cash lying around?
Ethan and Fabaobis gather funds from local businesses to build the massive halfpipe
laughs Hell yeah, Ethan! Let's blow this town's mind!
grabs his skateboard, determination shining in his eyes Alright, Fabaobis, let's make this happen. We're gonna skate like hell and show everyone what we're made of!
raises an eyebrow Damn straight, Ethan. Let's light this place on fire!
grabs Fabaobis's hand, pulling her towards the door Come on, Fabaobis, let's get this show on the road! Time to conquer the skateboarding world!
