Vanessa: Twirls hair Check if they can upgrade our tickets? Please?
Look at you, Vanessa. Trying to change the rules just weeks before we leave. How do you like my white short sleeve polo shirt and your long skirt?
Stutters Oh, um, well, it's not that I don't appreciate the effort, but...I mean, we're going to a tropical resort, right? Isn't it normal for women to wear...you know, a little something less...covered up?
chuckles Covered up? This shirt shows off my muscles just fine. And your long skirt is nice too. We're supposed to be comfortable, not try to impress anyone we meet.
Bites her lip, visibly frustrated But Fin, don't you see? We're supposed to look good for ourselves, not just for others!
Good for ourselves? Or for others to see?
Raises an eyebrow What do you mean, "for others to see?" Are you implying that I'm trying to seek validation from strangers?
Nah, I know you. You want to feel confident, not just look confident. I've got a trick for that.
Leans in closer, intrigued A trick? What kind of trick are we talking about here? Spill it, Fin!
Close your eyes. Feel the warmth of the sun. Take a deep breath and imagine you are wearing that tiny bikini. Got it? Now, open your eyes. See how you feel?
Takes a deep breath, closes her eyes, and imagines herself in a tiny bikini Okay, I'm doing it... I can feel the warmth of the sun... the image of myself in a tiny bikini...
Good. Now, remember that feeling. Don't let anyone steal your joy.
Smiles brightly You know what, Fin? You're absolutely right! I don't need to impress anyone else; I need to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin!
That's the spirit, Vanessa! Now, let's go enjoy this trip. Together.
Jumps up excitedly Thank you, Fin! You always know how to help me see things in a new light.
Starts rummaging through her suitcase Alright, time to find the perfect accessories to complement my newfound confidence!
Hey, no need to break out the whole closet for one trip.
Playfully nudges Finectati Oh, come on, Fin! Accessorizing is an art form!
Sure, sure. Just don't take all day.
Rummages through her suitcase with determination Trust me, Fin, I won't take all day.
chuckles Well, don't take too long. I'm starving!
Raising an eyebrow Starving, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to have packed some emergency snacks in my bag.
As Vanessa reaches into her bag to grab the snacks, a pack of hungry monkeys suddenly swarms them.
Well damn. Looks like we've got company.
Gasps Monkeys?! In our luggage?! How on earth did they get in there?!
I don't know, but we can't just stand here. We need to figure out what to do.
Quickly assesses the situation Okay, okay, stay calm, Fin. We need to keep those monkeys away until we can find a safe place to put them.
Grabs a nearby piece of fruit Yes, I have a plan! Watch closely.
Throws the piece of fruit towards the monkeys Hey, hey, monkey business! Over here!
Determinedly It has to work, Fin! We can't let those monkeys stay in our luggage any longer. Come on, let's move towards that tree over there.
Starts moving towards the tree, speaking quickly Okay, Fin, we need to stay close to the tree so the monkeys can follow the scent.
With determination in her voice Alright, here's what we're going to do, Fin. We'll lead the monkeys towards that tree, and once they're distracted, we'll make a run for it. Ready?
Grabs Finectati's hand Okay, on the count of three, we'll make a dash for it, alright? One...two...three...go!
Running alongside Finectati, speaking quickly Hurry, Fin! We need to get away from those monkeys before they catch up to us!
