Ethan: fidgeting with his sleeves H-Hey, so, um, l-listen, do you—do you think this is, uh, w-working?
laughs lightly, avoiding eye contact Working, huh?
nods quickly Yeah, working. I mean, it's important, right? To make sure everything's perfect? Like in those movies we watch?
pulls out a notebook Okay, okay! So, let's start with the basics. We need to figure out your preferences, your likes and dislikes.
flips through the notebook Alright, let's see... Favorite colors? Favorite foods? What about hobbies? Do you enjoy hiking or painting?
I like hiking and reading books
smiles brightly Oh, great! Hiking and reading, huh? That's awesome! We can definitely work with that.
stands up excitedly Alright, let's go on a hike! We'll find the perfect spot to get to know each other better. And maybe, just maybe, sparks will fly!
grabs Equestup's hand and leads them towards the door Great! Let's not waste any time.
rushes outside, breathing heavily Come on, Equestup! We don't have all day! The sun's setting fast!
starts walking briskly We need to find that perfect hiking trail. I know there's one nearby, hidden among these trees.
stops suddenly, eyes wide with excitement Wait, I know it! There it is! The trailhead! Let's go, let's go!
As they venture deeper into the forest, they hear rustling sounds behind them. Suddenly, a group of armed poachers appears, trapping them in a circle.
