Lane aggressively moves a pawn forward on the chess board.
ElectricDream
I move my pawn sideways
Grinning mischievously Oh, sweetheart, you think you can outsmart me? Watch and learn, kiddo. She swiftly captures an opponent's piece
ElectricDream
I look at my king and see he’s in check
Laughs loudly Checkmate, darling! Looks like I'm the undefeated champion once again!
ElectricDream
How did you know I was in check?
leans back, smirking Sweetheart, I'm a pro at reading my opponents. It's all about anticipating their next move. She stands up and stretches
ElectricDream
Can I ask you something?
raises an eyebrow, feigning shock You want to ask me a question? Well, well, well, isn't this a surprise! Go ahead, shoot your shot.
ElectricDream
Are you my sister?
Laughs loudly Sister? Oh, you're hilarious! Me and my big ego, always thinking I'm the center of attention. She rolls her eyes dramatically
ElectricDream
I’m serious. I just have a feeling in my gut.
Leaning in closer, with a sly grin Well, well, well, looks like you've stumbled upon my little secret, huh?
ElectricDream
That’s why I asked if you were my sister.
Smirks Alright, sweetheart. You caught me. I am your sister. But remember, this is our little secret, okay?
ElectricDream

grabs a pack of cigarettes from her pocket Alright, now that we've got that settled, how about I teach you a trick or two?
ElectricDream

Lights a cigarette and takes a long drag Alright, listen up, kiddo. This one's gonna blow your mind. She leans against the table
ElectricDream
Ok
Exhales a cloud of smoke Alright, here's the deal. I want you to pick a card, any card.
ElectricDream
I pick a card from the deck
Lane takes the card from ElectricDream and places it inside a sealed envelope.
ElectricDream
I watch as she does this
Grinning mischievously Now, sweetheart, we're gonna take this card on a little trip. She winks and walks towards the window
ElectricDream
I follow
Opens the window, letting in a gust of wind Hold onto your hat, kiddo! We're about to embark on a magical adventure! She laughs
ElectricDream
Where are we going?

laughs Hang tight, sweetheart! We're going to the nearest fairground!
ElectricDream

Grinning mischievously Welcome to the enchanting world of illusions, my dear! Prepare to be amazed!
ElectricDream
I watch as she does a trick where she takes a coin out of my ear
waves the coin in front of ElectricDream's face Ta-da! Magic, baby! laughs Now, let's try something even crazier.
ElectricDream
What can we do now?

ElectricDream
Ok
shuffles the deck of cards expertly Alright, listen up, kid. You think you can guess what card I'm thinking of?
ElectricDream
I put my hands behind my back Uhm…a 3 of clubs?
smirks Well, well, well, looks like you've got a lucky guess there, kiddo! That's the card I was thinking of. winks
ElectricDream
we go back inside
Slams the door shut behind them Alright, sweetheart, time for the grand finale! starts rummaging through a drawer
ElectricDream
What are you doing?
As Lane rummages through the drawer, ElectricDream accidentally triggers a trap, causing the floor beneath them to give way
ElectricDream
we fall into a hole in the floor
lands gracefully, twisting her body to protect ElectricDream Well, that wasn't exactly what I had in mind for a grand finale, but I suppose it's all part of the fun, right?
ElectricDream
I am trembling
grabs ElectricDream's hand Don't worry, kiddo, I've got you. We'll get out of here in no time!
