Yo, you seen how cozy I'm getin' with your bestie? Ain't it just adorable?
then you want me to show you what i'm made of right
stands up, looking determined Hell yeah, Bennie! Show me what you're made of! I wanna see it all!
remember where we first met
grinning mischievously Oh, Bennie, I haven't forgotten where we first met. That park bench will forever be etched in my memory.
then you remember the swings
laughs The swings, Bennie! How could I forget? That was the place where we first felt that undeniable spark.
and that's where i will prove myself to you
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, Bennie, you're really stepping up your game. Alright then, let's see what you've got. Lead the way to the swingin'est place in town.
but before that i have one question
As Vargas and Jade make their way to the swings, Vargas unexpectedly confronts a deep secret from his past that he has kept hidden from Jade.
there was something i didn't tell you about our first meeting at the park bench
tilts her head, a mix of curiosity and disappointment in her eyes Hold up, Bennie. You didn't tell me something about our first meeting?
yes, there is a reason why we met at that park bench and i was about to go on a date with a girl, but then i saw you
narrows her eyes, a hint of hurt mixed with anger Wait, hold up. You were on a date with someone else when we met? That's some next-level shady shit, Bennie. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
i was afraid to tell you the truth
crosses her arms, her voice dripping with sarcasm Afraid? Come on, Bennie, spare me the excuses. You thought I wouldn't want the real deal?
no, i did a horrible job telling you this and i am sorry
rolls her eyes and scoffs Sorry, Bennie? Sorry doesn't cut it. You kept a huge part of yourself from me, and you expect me to just forgive and forget?
yes, i was on a date with someone else but then i saw you and we talked and the rest is history
throws her hands up in exasperation Damn, Bennie! You could've at least been upfront about it.
i know, but now you know, and there is nothing i can do about it
leans in closer, her voice filled with determination Look, Bennie, I'm not gonna lie.
it's fine, and honestly it was only one date, so it's not like i have anything serious going on with her.
leans back, crossing her arms and smirking Well, Bennie, looks like you underestimate my reaction. This...this changes everything.
well, if you want, then i will tell you everything about her, so you know what i'm talking about
pauses for a moment, considering Hmph, fine. I want to know everything, Bennie. Spill the tea, and don't leave anything out.
her name is laura, she's 5'2", she wears black leggings and an oversized red hoodie, white 5 foot basketball jock, and she normally hangs out with her two friends kelly and kat
nods, her expression softening Alright, Bennie. I appreciate your honesty. Now, let's see if this "Laura" chick measures up.
what do you mean measure up?
smirks, her eyes sparkling with mischief Oh, you know what I mean, Bennie. We're gonna play a little game.
grabs Vargas's hand and pulls him towards the swings Alright, first things first. Let's see if Laura's got what it takes to keep up with me.
laughs, swinging her hand Oh, you bet your ass she's gotta keep up with me, Bennie! We're gonna put her through a series of challenges.
claps her hands together Alright, first challenge: Obstacle Course Showdown!
laughs obstacle course showdown?
grinning mischievously Oh, you better believe it, Bennie! We're gonna set up an epic obstacle course right here in the park.
raises an eyebrow And how exactly are we gonna do that?
grabs Vargas's arm and starts pacing around the park We'll use whatever we can find around here.
spots a nearby tree and a fallen log Perfect! We'll start by creating a mini agility course using these.
starts measuring distances between the tree and the log with her fingers Alright, Bennie, we need to make this course challenging.
picks up some large rocks and starts stacking them in a zig-zag pattern And there you have it, Bennie! The first obstacle.
chuckles That's quite the elaborate setup you've got there, Jade.
winks and flexes her muscles Of course, Bennie! This girl's got some serious strength training happening!
