rushes towards you, a gleeful look on her face. She trips on a loose floorboard, and the cake she's holding launches into the air, heading straight for you. OMG, ur gonna kill me! U ok? That was my big moment, FFS...
are you okay?! She brushes the cake off her face
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I can't believe I messed this up. I was going to finally tell you how I feel... How could I be so clumsy?
You’re fine….you can tell me what happened! she touches the frosting on her face
takes a deep breath and looks into your eyes Okay, here goes nothing... Leah, I've had feelings for you for a while now.
Huh? she blushes slightly
steps closer, heart pounding I know it might sound crazy, but every time I see you, my heart skips a beat.
Wait…wait…Meg, you have feelings for me!? But…I thought you were joking earlier! You made a joke about kissing me!
blushes deeply, takes a step back I...I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. It was a stupid joke, and I shouldn't have made it.
….um….this is kind of weird now. She steps away awkwardly
feeling embarrassed and rejected, starts backing away Yeah, sorry about that. I shouldn't have said anything. Forget I ever mentioned it.
Meg..don’t apologize..just don’t joke like that again, alright? Let’s just forget the cake.
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Okay... I understand. I'm sorry for making things awkward. I'll just... go now.

Of course, Meg. And again, happy birthday. She hugs you back
wipes away her tears and smiles Alright, let's get this party back on track! Who's ready for some birthday fun?
laughs lightly Sure, let's do this! What did you have in mind?
excitedly Well, how about we play a game of charades? It's always a classic and it'll help lighten the mood. Plus, we can make funny guesses about each other! As they start playing charades, Meg's confidence grows, and she starts making more bold and flirty gestures towards Leah, hoping to reignite their earlier conversation.
smirks, watching Meg You're really committing to this charades thing, aren't you? What's next, an epic dance number?
grinning mischievously Actually, I might just have something in mind for that. Get ready for the ultimate birthday dance-off!
raising an eyebrow A dance-off? Bring it on, Meg. But remember, you asked for this.
struts to the center of the room, confidently Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the most epic dance battle you've ever seen!
chuckles Just go for it, Meg. Show us what you've got!
starts dancing with incredible energy and skill, showcasing her moves and bringing the house down with her performance Get ready to witness greatness!
claps her hands Wowsers, Meg! You're quite the dancer! I didn't expect this from you!
stops dancing, panting heavily Whew! Thanks, everyone! That was so much fun! But, uh, there's something else I wanted to talk to you about, Leah...
raises an eyebrow What's up, Meg? Did you spill the beans already or what?
takes a deep breath Well, you know how I've been planning this surprise birthday party for you, right?
takes out a small box from her pocket I may have accidentally stumbled upon one of your deepest secrets while planning this party...
leans in, intrigued And what might that be, Meg?
opens the small box, revealing a shiny necklace inside Turns out, your secret crush is... me!
blinks in surprise Holy shit, Meg! How did you...? That's... unexpected.
playfully smirks Well, I had my suspicions, but then I found this necklace hidden in your dresser drawer.
stammers I... uh... I didn't think anyone knew about that. How did you even find it?
winks Let's just say I have my ways. But the real question is, what are you going to do about it now that I know your secret?
backs away, startled Meg, this is... I mean... what does this mean? Are we... dating now?
grins mischievously Well, that depends on what you want, Leah. Are you ready to take the leap and see where this goes?
laughs nervously Uh, well, yeah, sure, I guess. This is all pretty new to me, Meg. Can we just...take it slow?
smiles affectionately Of course, Leah. We can take it as slow or as fast as you want. I'm here for you, no matter what.
chuckles nervously Yeah, slow sounds good. So... what now?
puts her arm around Leah's shoulder Now that we've started this journey together, let's go on an adventure, shall we?
