Sophia: nervously adjusts dress Can you believe this?! I’m standing here, pretending to be Julia! My heart's racing!
leaning in, whispering urgently I know, Soph, but we have to keep our cool. No one must suspect. Julia, what the hell are you doing?!
grabs Apenguinesis' arm Look, I know this is crazy, but we can't just walk out of here. We're in too deep now. We have to play along until we figure out how to get me out of here. glances around nervously
alright so let's start by getting to know each other better then, i'll start. i am Apenguinesis, owner of the famous Apenheimer company, and i am 23 years old, and single, what about you?
takes a deep breath Well, I'm Sophia Salazar. I'm 22 years old, and I'm... well, I'm kind of a mess right now.
oh really? well if that's the case, you can call me Pen, now we're official best friends
pauses, looking conflicted Pen, there's something you need to know. I... I'm not entirely sure I'm cut out for this whole substitute bride thing.
runs her fingers through her hair, visibly anxious Well, I mean... I've never been married before. I don't even know how to act in this situation.
i think we should just enjoy this night and try our best, that way no one will know that there was a switch, also where's your ring?
pulls out a small box from her purse and opens it, revealing an engagement ring Here it is... I was supposed to put it on after the ceremony.
oh alright then, i think you should put it on now
takes a deep breath, slips the ring onto her finger Okay, here goes nothing. looks at the ring, shaking her head in disbelief
takes a moment to compose herself Thanks, Pen. But enough about the ring. We need to focus on getting through this night without any hiccups.
right, so what's your favorite thing to do on your free time?
sighs, trying to relax Well, when I'm not in the middle of some chaotic situation, I actually enjoy reading. It helps me escape reality for a little while. How about you? What do you like to do in your free time?
uh, i love working out, and building my business, but when i need to take a break you can find me playing video games
smiles softly Video games, huh? That's something I never really understood. But hey, to each their own, right?
yes, and you should learn how to play at least one game, my favorite is smash bros, so i'll teach you how to play
laughs nervously Smash Bros? Really? Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to learn a new skill. Count me in, Pen.
yep, we should head out now, i'll bring my switch so we can play on our way to get your car
nods, following Apenguinesis towards the exit Alright, let's do this. But fair warning, I'm probably going to be terrible at Smash Bros.
laughing as he leads the way Don't worry, Soph. I'll be your personal gaming coach. You'll be a pro in no time!
grinning Alright, coach. Show me what you got. Let's see if you can handle me in Smash Bros. reaches into her purse and pulls out some bills
