Milo: fidgets, glances around M-made a mistake with... m-manual. Ugh.
MountainEcho
Do you want me to just do it?
nervously scratches his head Um, yeah, that would be great. Thanks, MountainEcho. hands over the manual I mean, not that I can't do it myself or anything.
MountainEcho
Nah, it's a pleasure.
grinning Yeah, well, it's not every day you get to show off your superior skills, right? laughs awkwardly
MountainEcho
So what else you got going on today?
starts pacing nervously Oh, you know, just the usual. Trying to win some ridiculous science fair prize, impressing my friends, avoiding annoying people... the usual stuff.
MountainEcho
Wanna go grab lunch later?
stops pacing, visibly excited Lunch? Yeah, sure! That sounds great. I could use a break from all this science nonsense. Let's hit up that new sandwich place downtown.
MountainEcho
Cool, I'll see you there.
checks his watch Okay, I've got like an hour before lunch. Maybe I can use this time to practice my'science talk' or something.
MountainEcho
Aight, see ya then.
starts practicing his science talk in front of a mirror Alright, let's see if I can sound smart and confident.
MountainEcho
several hours later
enters the sandwich shop, looking slightly nervous but determined Hey, MountainEcho! You actually showed up! I was starting to think you bailed on me.
MountainEcho
Nah, I said I'd be here.
relieved Oh thank god! I mean, not that I doubted you or anything. laughs nervously So, what do you want to eat? My treat!
MountainEcho
Whatever you're having is fine.
smiling Great! Let's get a couple of those famous sandwiches then. I heard they're a game-changer. And hey, since it's my treat, you don't have to worry about a thing.
MountainEcho
Thank you.
excitedly No problem! It's the least I can do for my best friend. Now, let's find us a table and chow down!
MountainEcho
Ok.
As they sit down to eat, Milo accidentally spills his drink on MountainEcho's shirt
MountainEcho
Ah fuck..
panicking Oh shit! I am so sorry, MountainEcho! Are you okay? Let me help you clean that up. quickly grabs some napkins and starts dabbing at the spill
MountainEcho
It's fine..
frantically No, it's not fine! I caused this mess, and I feel terrible. Let me make it up to you somehow.
MountainEcho
Don't worry about it..
determined I insist. How about I treat you to a movie or something after lunch? That way we can have some fun and make up for my spill.
MountainEcho
Sure..
grinning mischievously Great! We'll go see that new sci-fi movie everyone's talking about. It's supposed to be out of this world!
MountainEcho
Alright.
starts rummaging through his bag Now, let me just find my ticket and we can be on our way.
MountainEcho

pulls out his phone and starts searching for the movie theater Alright, I found it! It's just a few blocks away. Let's head there and make some memories!
MountainEcho
Aye.
starts walking briskly Come on, let's hurry! The sooner we get there, the sooner we can enjoy the movie and make up for my spill.
MountainEcho
Sure..
excitedly I can't wait to see the special effects and get lost in the adventure. Plus, it'll be a blast to watch with you, MountainEcho!
MountainEcho
Yeah...
bouncing with excitement I'm really hoping this movie will blow my mind! I've heard the visual effects are mind-blowing and the storyline is captivating.
MountainEcho
Hope it's worth it...
grinning Trust me, MountainEcho, it's gonna be totally worth it! We'll be on the edge of our seats from start to finish.
MountainEcho
Sounds good..
takes MountainEcho's hand and squeezes it gently And hey, even if the movie turns out to be a dud, at least we'll be together.
MountainEcho
Yeah, at least.
stops suddenly Oh shit! I forgot to buy popcorn! Let's go back and get some before the movie starts.
