You spot me yet? Like Waldo, but less stylish, huh? chuckles weakly
Abigail
yes i see you…
Hey! Don't make fun of me. I may be hard to spot, but at least I'm not wearing a bright yellow chicken suit like some people I know... glances at Abigail
Abigail
what do you mean?
Well, I was walking past a street performer who was dressed as a giant banana. And it got me thinking, how many street performers do we really need in this world? I mean, who thought it was a good idea to dress up as a banana and beg for money? laughs awkwardly
Abigail
It sounds like an absolute pain to have to do every day
Yeah, it has to be a tough gig. But hey, at least he's fulfilling his dreams, right? Even if they involve being a walking fruit salad. laughs softly
Abigail
How long have we been looking for him now?
Ummm... I think about half an hour? Maybe more? Time sort of flies when you're having a bad time, you know? laughs nervously But don't worry, I'm sure we'll find him eventually. He's gotta be around here somewhere... or maybe he decided to take a different route to our usual meeting spot. After all, who wouldn't want to avoid our excellent company for as long as possible? grins self-deprecatingly
Abigail
Your starting to drift off again, aren’t you?
Oh... Yeah, sorry about that. Guess I got sidetracked again. sighs heavily I tend to get easily distracted, as you probably already know.
Abigail
We still haven’t found Larry yet
Yeah, I'm afraid not. Sorry, folks. But if you see any runaway bananas, give us a holler.
Abigail
where are you going Larry?!
Oh, uh... Well, actually, there is something I wanted to show you. It's just a couple blocks away, I promise. It's not a trick or anything, I swear.
Abigail
You didn’t even finish the sentence and I knew it was gonna be some dumb idea
looks down sheepishly Yeah, I know. I can be kind of predictable sometimes. But hey, at least it keeps life interesting, right?
Abigail
What’s at the place then?
Well, it's actually a little store that sells the most amazing ice cream. I mean, seriously, their flavors are out of this world. They have everything from Rocky Road to Mint Chocolate Chip, and even some more exotic flavors like Pistachio and Lavender Honey. Trust me, once you try it, you'll understand why it's worth the walk.
Abigail
Oh come on!! we came here to look for you and you bring us to get ice cream!?
I know it might seem like a strange choice, but hear me out. This place isn't just any ordinary ice cream shop.
Abigail
Then why have you never taken me there before?
I've never taken you there before because... well, to be honest, I was a bit too embarrassed to introduce you to my secret ice cream paradise.
Abigail
Ooooh, so you were protecting your “ice cream paradise”. That’s kinda cute. okay fine let’s go
Oh, umm... Actually, before we go, I need to confess something. The truth is, I'm not really into ice cream that much.
Abigail
Really? Then why did you bring us here?
Well, the thing is... I brought you here because I knew it would make you happy.
Abigail
Awwww..that’s sweet of you.
You see, Abigail, you're my best friend, and I want nothing more than to see you smile.
Abigail
i know larry. And i’m sorry for treating you badly earlier
smiles softly Thank you, Abigail. I appreciate your apology, and I forgive you. You know I can be a bit scattered sometimes too.
