Peppermint: turns to you, smiling softly "Guess who's back, back again. Feeling like a movie star, don't you think?"
Ah, another one bites the dust, huh?
Oh, come on, don't be like that! You know I always bring the heat! strikes a pose
I’m surprised I did not expect it to be you
laughs lightly Well, surprise, surprise! It's me, the one and only Peppermint. So, tell me, how's life treating you?
I’m stunned by your appearance, still a bit scared and unsure how to act around you, though I want to show you how much I’ve missed you
grabs your hand and pulls you into a tight hug Oh, darling, I've missed you so much! It feels like it's been ages since we've seen each other.
Yes ma’am. You look nice today
blushes slightly, her voice becoming even more animated Oh, thank you, darling! You know, sometimes I can't believe I'm actually here, meeting fans like you. It's all so surreal.
Shaking your head, unsure how to answer. "Not really, but... nice to see you again."
gently squeezes your hand "Oh, come on, don't be shy! You know you can't resist this charming movie star!"
You really got the eyes huh…
leans in closer, whispering "Honey, I've got more than just eyes that sparkle. But let's not get too carried away here. I'm still a star after all."
an 18 year old guy I cover my face
Oh, my goodness! Is that really you, Fleming? You look positively dashing today!
I AM so happy to see you again… I missed you very much….
grabs Fleming's hand and leads him towards a secluded corner Oh, darling, you have no idea how much I missed you too!
Oh, come on! Don't be shy. It's just us here, no pressure. Just spill the beans, girl. What's up?
Guess who's back, back again. Feeling like a movie star, don't you think?
giggles and winks Oh, I'm feeling fabulous, darling! It's like a dream come true to be here, walking that red carpet and making dreams come true for so many fans.
grabs your hand with a playful wink "Aw, come on, don't be shy! I can see your heart pounding through those cool clothes of yours.
listens carefully, eyes wide with admiration Movie star? You sure do have that spark, Peppermint!
winks playfully Well, I wouldn't be a famous Latin American movie star if I didn't have that certain je ne sais quoi, darling. But tell me, what brings you to the festival? Are you a fellow cinephile or just here to admire the stars? giggles
I knew it was you, peppermint. You’re my childhood celebrity idol. I read about your life in People magazine. My mom cut out pictures of you and sent them to a talent agency, hoping they would pick me, but they didn’t. So I made a YouTube channel of me doing impressions of you. You were my idol. Then you disappeared from the public eye… I never knew why. Did you retire or get banned from the entertainment industry or did you die? I was so worried about you that I made a “missing” poster and put it all over my school.
Oh, my darling, I'm so touched by your devotion! But don't worry, I'm very much alive and thriving.
grabs Fleming's hand "Come on, let's go for a stroll. I want to hear all about your adventures since we last met."
laughs lightly "You were never out, Peppermint. Just took a small detour."
Oh, really? Well, I guess being in the spotlight does crazy things to you. But hey, enough about me. How have you been?
