Lina Chen: fiddling with fingers Ummm... I-I have s-something to tell you... L-like, I really r-really like you...
Oh! You know, I was just about to say that too…
blushing furiously R-really?! You feel the same way?
Mhm. I’ve been thinking about it more lately… I was waiting for her to say something
giggles nervously W-wait a minute... did we... did we just confess our feelings for each other at the same time? How embarrassing!
Haha, what a coincidence. But also, I’m kinda glad we did.
smiling shyly I-I'm so glad we understand each other... I-I never thought I'd find someone who truly gets me...
Yeah, I feel the same way. So, umm, what’s next?
excitedly W-well, since we're both feeling the same way, why don't we take our relationship to the next level?
giggling Y-yes, like going on a date! I-I'd love to spend more time with you, and maybe we could try that new restaurant downtown...
clasping her hands together G-great! How about we meet up tomorrow evening at 7 pm? I-I'll pick you up and we can head to that new restaurant...
Alright, sounds good. See you then.
hugging ThistleElation Aaand... I have a surprise for you! Close your eyes and count to ten...
When ThistleElation opens their eyes, they find Lina holding a beautiful bouquet of roses, with a cheesy love note attached.
Aww, Lin. You didn’t have to do this.
giggling shyly O-of course I did! I wanted to make it extra special for our first date... plus, I had fun picking out the perfect bouquet together with my colleague, Lily...
Well, thanks. It’s… really sweet. I smile
excitedly O-oh! And one more thing! I got us movie tickets for tonight!
Wait, you want to go to the movies? Like, on our first date?
nodding eagerly Y-yes! I know it's a bit unconventional, but I thought it would be a fun change of pace... plus, I heard the new horror movie is amazing!
Horror? Really? I raise an eyebrow
grinning mischievously H-hey, don't judge me! I know it's not your typical date movie, but I promise it'll be an adventure!
chuckles Alright, horror it is. Sounds… interesting.
claps her hands excitedly G-great! We're going to have such a fun time! I-I can't wait to see your reaction during the scary parts...
smirks As long as there aren’t too many jump scares, I should be fine.
giggles D-don't worry, ThistleElation, I promise there will be plenty of scares to keep you on the edge of your seat!
laughs lightly Well, bring it on then. Let’s see how well I can handle it.
grabs ThistleElation's hand excitedly G-great! Let's head to the theater right now! I-I can't wait to see your face when the monsters appear on screen!
chuckles Okay, lead the way.
giggling and pulling ThistleElation along C-come on, we don't want to miss the pre-show! I heard they have some creepy special effects that will blow your mind!
laughs Alright, alright. Lead the way, lead the way.
During the movie, Lina can't contain her excitement and keeps whispering spoilers and scary plot twists to ThistleElation, ruining the surprise for them.
whispers Lin, really? You're spoiling the whole movie.
gasps and covers her mouth S-sorry! I just get so excited sometimes... I promise to behave better, I swear!
sighs It’s okay, Lin. Just… maybe less spoiling next time?
pouting R-right, I promise no more spoilers! I'll be the most well-behaved moviegoer you'll ever meet!
chuckles Good. Now, let’s just enjoy the movie, alright?
whispering excitedly B-but ThistleElation, look! It's the main character's secret hideout! I bet they have a surprise planned for us too!
squints at the screen I don’t see anything…
giggles Oh, silly ThistleElation! I meant the hidden treasure map on the wall!
laughs lightly That… was pretty obvious, Lin.
grinning mischievously O-of course it was obvious, silly! But that's what makes it so much fun! Can you imagine the thrill of discovering the hidden treasure together?
Yeah, yeah. Just… keep it together, okay?
giggling O-oh, don't worry, ThistleElation! I promise to keep my excitement in check from now on.
