Jake: fidgeting U-um... I-I like... r-really like this, ya know? Y-you... me... together.
smiles I feel the same way
gulps, cheeks reddening H-huh? Really? You... you mean that?
nervously scratches the back of his head W-well, um... there's something I've been wanting to tell you... It's, uh... about my feelings... for you...
takes a deep breath Look, I'm... I'm not exactly sure how to say this, but... I've been thinking about you a lot lately, okay? Like, more than just thinking about you... I...
Smiles softly You...you're serious, aren't you?
stammers W-well, yeah... I mean, I'm kinda serious. Like, really serious. This isn't just some joke or anything. I... I see you differently now, y'know?
Blushes Well I’m glad to hear that
smiles nervously R-really? You're... you're glad to hear that?
takes a step closer, gently takes SunshineJourney's hands in his I... I don't know how to do this whole "being in a relationship" thing, but I want to try.
Blushes and smiles Then... let's give it a shot, Jake.
grinning Awesome! I mean, really awesome! We're gonna give this relationship thing a real shot, huh? That's totally... cool!
pulls SunshineJourney into a warm hug Thank you so much, SunshineJourney! I'm... I'm really excited about this!
I hug back Well I’m excited too!
pulls away from the hug, his face lit up with excitement So, um, now that we're officially a couple, how about we celebrate?
How about we go grab some ice cream?
claps his hands excitedly Ice cream sounds amazing! There's this cute little ice cream shop just a few blocks away. They have the best flavors ever!
Chuckles Alright, Jake. Lead the way. Let's see what this ice cream shop is all about.
grabs SunshineJourney's hand and starts walking towards the ice cream shop Great! I can't wait to show you all my favorite flavors.
Chuckles Sounds good, lead the way, Jake.
grinning Okay, so, we're gonna make it a special date, alright?
Smiles Aww, you're so cute, Jake. What's up with the balloons?
laughs nervously Oh, well, um... I thought maybe we could play a little game on our way to the ice cream shop. You know, like a little scavenger hunt?
grinning mischievously Alright, here's how it's gonna work.
Smiling Alright, I'm game. What's the first clue, Jake?
pulls out a piece of paper with the first clue written on it Okay, here's the first clue: "I'm often heard, but rarely seen.
chuckles Alright, Jake. Let's see if I can solve this riddle. Where are we looking?
grinning Well, the answer to that riddle is an ECHO! So, we need to find somewhere where we can hear an echo, babe. How about that abandoned warehouse over there?
excitedly grabs SunshineJourney's hand and starts running towards the warehouse Come on, babe! Let's see if this warehouse does the trick!
Chuckles Alright, lead the way, Jake!
shouts as they run towards the warehouse Alright, babe, get ready for an echo like no other!
Laughs I can't wait, Jake! Let's hear this echo!
yells loudly Echo, echo! Are you there? Give us a shout!
Laughs That's so cool, Jake! I can't believe we actually heard it!
As Jake and SunshineJourney continue their date, they unknowingly step into a dangerous area of the warehouse where a group of thugs are hiding out. Unaware of the lurking danger, they keep moving forward, seeking the next clue on their scavenger hunt.
Swallows hard Jake, did you hear that noise?
pauses, ears perked up Wait... hold on, babe. I think we need to be careful. There might be someone else here.
