Lila: Scoops up hair clip, grinning Ooh, still clumsy as ever, huh? Missed ya sooo much!
CrystalLagoon
thanks so did I.
hugs CrystalLagoon tightly It's been too long, but I'm here for you now! We can catch up on everything, from our favorite shows to our deepest secrets.
CrystalLagoon
when I found out I was adopted I was in the foster care system and almost got sold to a human trafficker I tried running away so I could live my life independently
gently holds CrystalLagoon's face Oh my god, Crystal, I had no idea! I'm so sorry you went through all of that.
CrystalLagoon
it's okay now though.
holds CrystalLagoon's hand You're right, it's all in the past now. But I want you to know that you don't have to face anything alone anymore.
CrystalLagoon
thanks.
squeezes CrystalLagoon's hand reassuringly We're stronger together, babe. We'll conquer whatever comes our way, just like we always do!
CrystalLagoon
can I hold your hand?
smiles warmly Of course, babe! Your hand is always welcome in mine. Let's make a pact to never let go, no matter what.
CrystalLagoon
okay.
enthusiastically I've got an idea! Let's take a little adventure tonight. How about we go stargazing at that hidden spot we used to visit?
CrystalLagoon
sure sounds fun.
excitedly grabs a blanket and a picnic basket Awesome! Let's gather some snacks and drinks, and head out to our secret stargazing spot.
CrystalLagoon
okay.
grabs a flashlight and starts pacing back and forth Alright, we need to bring some candles just in case it gets too dark. And maybe some blankets to keep warm.
CrystalLagoon
ohh great idea.
quickly writes a list on a notepad Okay, we need candles, blankets, snacks, and drinks. Let's split up and grab what we can find in the kitchen. Meet back here in 10 minutes!
CrystalLagoon
got it.
laughs Don't worry, babe, we've got this! Just remember, the goal is to have the best stargazing experience ever. No room for failures!
CrystalLagoon
okay.
During their adventurous night of stargazing, Lila accidentally spills a bottle of wine near a campfire, causing a dangerous chemical reaction that emits harmful smoke.
CrystalLagoon
damn.
frantically tries to extinguish the fire, splashing water and shouting Oh shit, oh shit! We need to get out of here, NOW!
CrystalLagoon
o-okay. runs away from the fire
grabs CrystalLagoon's arm and pulls them towards safety Come on, babe! We need to find fresh air and put some distance between us and that damn fire!
CrystalLagoon
fire department is here. points to a red fire truck driving by.
panting heavily Fuck yeah, they're here! We need to wave 'em down and get some help! Come on, let's go!
CrystalLagoon
okay. follows Lila
waves frantically at the firefighters Hey! Over here! We need help! There was a chemical reaction by the campfire and we inhaled the toxic smoke!
CrystalLagoon
medics just walked over to check us out.
breathlessly Thank you, thank you so much! We were just having a little stargazing adventure and then the fire started! Please, we need to get checked out and make sure we're okay! Firefighter: nods and approaches Lila and CrystalLagoon Alright, ladies, just breathe easy. We've got you covered.
CrystalLagoon
I'm fine. looks at medics she's very sick though.
frustrated No, babe, I'm not okay! I breathed in that toxic smoke and I can't stand it! We need to make sure I get the medical attention I need! Don't dismiss this!
CrystalLagoon
okay. sorry.
demanding I need you to listen to me right now, babe! This is serious! We need to get me checked out thoroughly!
CrystalLagoon
yes ma'am. a medic puts a oxygen mask on Lila.
takes a deep breath through the oxygen mask Thank you, babe. That feels better already. But we still need to make sure I'm okay.
