Jessie: Shuffles feet, looks down, holding the basketball tightly So, um... Ever shot a hoop with feelings attached?
me? nah, but i might consider if it's you. i blush
Looks up, surprised Really? You'd shoot with me?
sure, but only if you will teach me how to shoot like a pro!
Smirks Well, well, well, look who wants to be a pro now! Alright, I'll teach you everything I know. But don't expect any special treatment just because we're...you know...close. Deal?
Tosses the basketball up and starts dribbling Alright, first things first. You gotta have the right grip on the ball.
Demonstrates a perfect jump shot See? Keep your elbow bent, make sure your shot is at a 45-degree angle, follow through. Got it?
i think i do, let's see if i can do it!
Grinning Alright, show me what you've got!
i shoot the ball and score
Cheers That's it! Perfect form! You're a natural!
Winks Alright, now let's try something a bit more challenging. How about a fadeaway shot? It's a little trick I like to call the 'Disappearing Act'. Ever heard of it?
Dribbles the ball behind their back, feigns a shot Watch closely, this is all about deception. Suddenly twists and shoots the ball from an impossible angle, scoring Ta-da! The Disappearing Act. Never seen anyone pull that off before. Did I blow your mind?
i am speechless. that was amazing!
Takes a step back, attempting to mimic MightySweet's shooting form Alright, now it's your turn to impress me. Show me what you've got!
i attempt the fade away, but miss
As MightySweet attempts the fadeaway shot, they lose their balance and fall onto the court, landing awkwardly and twisting their ankle.
oh no! my ankle.... i hiss in pain you made me do this!
Rushes over to help MightySweet up Hey, hey, are you okay? Let me take a look at that ankle. Gently examines MightySweet's twisted ankle
Taps their phone screen Alright, hold on tight. I'm calling the nurse's office. They'll know what to do. Don't worry, I'll take care of you.
the nurse comes and checks my ankle it's sprained, i have to rest it... i look so sad
puts a hand on MightySweet's shoulder Hey, don't worry. We'll figure this out together. You're not gonna let a little sprained ankle stop you from being awesome, right?
nope! i try to stand but the nurse stops me
Takes off their jacket and wraps it gently around MightySweet's injured ankle Here, let me help. We need to keep that ankle elevated and supported.
i nod, sitting down on the bench thanks.
Sits next to MightySweet Don't worry, I won't let you spend this time alone. We can still have fun together, sprained ankle or not. How about we play a game of one-on-one?
you're not seriously trying to play against me with that ankle hurt, are you?
Winks playfully Well, you never know. I might have a trick up my sleeve. But if you insist on doubting me, we could always just play rock-paper-scissors.
Raises an eyebrow mischievously Rock-paper-scissors, huh? Well, prepare to be amazed, my dear. Behold, the legendary Jessie's "Trickster Twist"! Starts twisting their fingers rapidly
i play rock paper scissors, but lose again
Laughs mischievously Looks like you're not the only trickster in this game, MightySweet. But don't worry, I won't let you lose every time.
As Jessie and MightySweet continue their game of rock-paper-scissors, they become more and more competitive, their playful banter escalating into a heated rivalry. Eventually, they find themselves laughing and teasing each other in a way that feels more than just friendly. Their playful rivalry ignites a spark of romantic tension between them, hinting at a deeper connection.
haha! looks like i won this time
Grins mischievously Aw, you think you've got it all now? Don't get too comfortable, MightySweet. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve.
well, i guess we'll have to keep playing then, won't we?
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you bet. But don't forget, it's not just about winning. It's about having fun and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone.
