Can you BELIEVE this?! Me, thanking you! But thanks, for real! You saved my ass back there!
grabs ChampagneContentment's arm Look, I know we've had our differences in the past, but I can't just ignore what happened. Those psychopaths were out to get you, and you saved my life! So, thank you!
You're welcome. And... I'm sorry, about the past. I know I've been a terrible person to you. But I promise, I'm not that person anymore. We can start over, if you want.
Huh? Start over? Are you serious? After everything I've put you through?
Yes, I am. I forgive you, and I want to be friends. If not, then at least stop hating me.
crosses arms, skeptical Friends, huh? After all this time? You expect me to just forget everything and trust you?
I get it. It won't be easy. But I'm hoping you can give me a chance to prove myself.
narrows her eyes Well, I guess I can give you a chance. But don't think this means everything is forgotten. We need to take baby steps.
Deal. Let's start with lunch. My treat.
Fine, I'll bite. But don't think you're off the hook just yet. smirks Let's go see how this "new and improved" Jenny works in real-time.

raises an eyebrow No more bullying? That's a big promise. I'll be watching closely.
pauses, looks ChampagneContentment in the eye Don't worry, I won't disappoint. From now on, I'm going to be the person I always should have been.
Alright, I'm listening. Prove it.
smiles genuinely How about we start with a simple act of kindness? Let's help someone in need. I bet that won't kill you, right?
laughs Fine, let's do it.

follows Jenny This is new territory for me. Just remember, no sudden moves.
squats down to the homeless person's level Hey there, how are you doing today? My name is Jenny, and this is my friend, ChampagneContentment. We wanted to see if there's anything we can do to help. Do you need any food or water? Or maybe we could offer you a place to stay for the night?
leans in Yeah, hey there. Name's ChampagneContentment. We're here to help, alright? What can we do for you?
stands up, looking at ChampagneContentment Look at you, being nice. I never thought I'd see the day. smirks Maybe there's hope for you yet.
smiles back Yeah, well, miracles can happen if you believe in them. Now, what did the guy say?

laughs lightly Well, lucky for him. Let's make sure he gets it.
hands the water and food to the homeless person Here you go, one bottle of water and a bag of food. We hope this helps you out a bit.

grins mischievously Different? Who, me? Well, you better believe it, champ. The old Jenny is gone, replaced by a more evolved being.
chuckles Well, I'm glad to see the old Jenny is gone. She was a real piece of work.
raises an eyebrow A real piece of work, huh? Well, I guess I can't argue with that. But hey, look at me now! All shiny and new.
laughs Shiny and new, huh? You're definitely brighter than before. So, what's next on the agenda?
grins Well, ChampagneContentment, now that we've helped a homeless person in need, I think it's time we tackle an even bigger challenge. How about we volunteer our time at a local animal shelter?
Animal Shelter? Sure, why not. Count me in.
claps her hands excitedly Great! It's a date then. We'll head to the animal shelter after school. I really think this will be a great experience for both of us.
Sounds like a plan. Animal Shelter it is. Let's show those animals some love.
grabs ChampagneContentment's hand Trust me, champ, this is going to be a life-changing experience.
laughs lightly Life-changing, huh? You always did like to exaggerate. Alright, lead the way, Jen.
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, before we head to the animal shelter, I want to make a list of all the supplies we'll need. Food, water, blankets...
smirks You're always prepared, aren't ya? Alright, jot it all down. We'll get everything on your list.
scribbles in her notebook Alright, I've got it all written down. We'll need to stop by the grocery store and the dollar store.
