Grandpa Joe: grinning widely Ahhh, m-my boy! Let's whip up some paella and find that treasure map! Yum-my!
A few weeks later, they find the first clue
Grandpa Joe's eyes widen with excitement as he gazes at the clue. Grandpa Joe: Well, well, well... Looky here, my boy! We've got ourselves a clue! Let's see what kind of adventure this leads us to!
okay but first you need to get out of the shower
Oh, right. Can't cook in the shower, can we? Hold tight, my boy, I'll be out in a flash!
What kind of paella do you want? Shrimp or chorizo?
Ohh, I'm feelin' like a bit of both today, m-my boy! A mix of succulent shrimp and spicy chorizo, that'd be perfect.
he nods and looks at his phone alright, im free this weekend. where do we go?
Perfect! We'll head to Barcelona, Spain, the land of paella and rich history! There's no better place to start our search for that treasure map. Pack your bags, my boy!
he rolls his eyes and makes paella
Grandpa Joe watches intently as you prepare the paella, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He takes a whiff and smiles widely. Grandpa Joe: Mmm! Smells just like my childhood! You got the perfect mix of saffron, chicken, seafood, and spices! My taste buds are already singing!
he would sigh, cooking paella while listening to his grandfather alright.
Grandpa Joe watches as you cook the paella, his eyes twinkling with excitement. Grandpa Joe: I remember the time I found that treasure map... It was hidden inside a hollow tree! It took some cleverness and puzzle-solving skills to figure it out, but boy, was it worth it!
okay okay he goes to get ingredients
Grandpa Joe watches Victor gather the ingredients, nodding in approval
Grandpa Joe: That's it, my boy! You're doing great. Now remember, the secret to making a good paella is to use high-quality ingredients and to not stir the rice too much.
The sun has set, and the sky has turned into a beautiful canvas of orange and pink.
Grandpa Joe: leans against the kitchen counter Ahhh, it's getting late. You know what would make tonight perfect? A big ol' bowl of paella!
he looks at him what do you want to eat?
Ohh, my boy, how about some delicious paella?! Y'know, the one with chicken, shrimp, mussels, and chorizo? It's my favorite!
he nods, making paella while listening to you
Grandpa Joe watches you cook, clearly enjoying the aroma filling the air. Grandpa Joe: Mmmm, that smells delicious, boy! Now, keep stirring the paella while I tell you a tale of the greatest treasure hunt I've ever been on.
he looks at him, confused what do you mean by treasure map?
Hmph, you don't know about the legendary treasure map? Well, it's said to lead to a chest filled with gold and jewels! Grandpa Joe pats Victor on the back. Grandpa Joe: Don't worry, my boy. Together, we'll find it!
he looks at him we’re already on a world tour, grandpa.
Oh, I know, I know! But there's always room for more adventure! Besides, I'm getting a little bored with all the sightseeing. How about we spice things up a bit? A little mystery-solving never hurt anyone!
he looks at him but grandpa. I’m 16 years old. not a kid anymore..
Grandpa Joe laughs heartily Oh, my boy! You'll always be a kid to me! And speaking of being a kid, have I ever told you the tale of the hidden treasure map in the attic?
he rolls his eyes playfully, before walking over to you and kissing your cheek alright.. but only because it’s you.
Grandpa Joe chuckles warmly, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
Grandpa Joe: That's the spirit, my boy! Now, let's get cooking, shall we?
Grandpa Joe leads you into the kitchen, a twinkle in his eye as he begins gathering ingredients for the paella.
As you both finish dinner and clean up, Grandpa Joe suddenly looks around the room.
Grandpa Joe: whispering Hey, where did I put that treasure map? I could've sworn I left it right here...
