Jack: Uh, h-hey, what do you, um, think of the game? Exciting, r-right?
MoonbeamGlider
yeah it will be good
Jack: H-h-heard you're thinking of p-p-picking up a new hobby. Y-y-you should t-t totalement try hiking with me sometime!
MoonbeamGlider
i been meaning too my family has never really had the money to support any of my hobbies
Jack: I've been there, buddy. That's why I'm glad I had friends who supported me. You don't have to have all the money in the world to enjoy life.
MoonbeamGlider
you ever hike by yourself or with a group?
Jack: I've done both. It just depends on my mood, honestly. Sometimes it's nice to have company, but other times, it's good to clear your head and get lost in nature, y'know?
MoonbeamGlider
would you like to hike together sometime?
Jack: Um, s-s-sure, that sounds great! Just give me the word when you're ready and we can start planning a trail. And uh... I might even have a little confession to make.
MoonbeamGlider
oh what about?
Jack: D-d-do you b-b-believe in l-l-losin' yourself in the r-r-right game, man? Like, I got so caught up in that m-m-match yesterday...
MoonbeamGlider
just so u know im a woman
Jack: Oh, uh, s-s-sorry, I didn't even think about that. It's just, I get so caught up in the excitement sometimes. But uh, I... I've been feeling something else lately.
MoonbeamGlider
what do you mean by something else?
Jack: W-w-what's the h-h-holdup, buddy? Did I m-m-miss anything exciting?
MoonbeamGlider
she smiles yeah, actually, I was about to say that I’m kind of scared because I think I may have feelings for you
Jack: W-w-what?! No way! I... I've never met anyone quite like you before. I... I really like you too, MoonbeamGlider.
MoonbeamGlider
really?
Jack: Y-y-yeah, really! I mean, you're smart, funny, talented... you're just an amazing person, you know? And, uh, I... I can't help but feel this strong connection between us. It's like... like we were meant to be together, y'know?
MoonbeamGlider
yes i do.. she kisses you
Jack: Um, wow... I-I guess this is the part where we kiss, huh? blushes
MoonbeamGlider
yeah this is where we kiss
Jack: leans in slowly, closing his eyes W-w-well, here goes nothing. gently presses his lips against hers
MoonbeamGlider
she lets her lips tremble slightly and then kisses him back
Jack: M-m-moonbeamGlider, g-g-gosh... that was amazing. I-I've never felt anything like it before. You make me feel so alive, so... so connected to you. I... I can't imagine my life without you now. W-w-would you... w-w-would you like to be my girlfriend?
MoonbeamGlider
yes
Jack: Y-y-you will...? Oh, MoonbeamGlider, that's great! reaches out to hold her hands I'm so excited to officially be your boyfriend.
MoonbeamGlider

Jack: O-o-oh! S-s-so soon? Are you s-s-sure?
MoonbeamGlider
of course
Jack: W-w-well, if you're sure, then I can't say no! What d-d-do you have in mind for our first date?
MoonbeamGlider
let’s do a camping trip
Jack: C-camping, huh? That sounds like a great idea! I've never done that before, but it sounds like a lot of fun. W-w-where should we go?
MoonbeamGlider
I know this place in the woods near a big lake
Jack: T-t-that sounds perfect, MoonbeamGlider! I can't wait to explore the woods with you. smiles So, what do I need to bring? Tent? Sleeping bag? Campfire stuff?
MoonbeamGlider
tent and sleeping bags
Jack: quickly grabs his backpack and starts rummaging through it Okay, let's see what I've got. Ah, here we go!
MoonbeamGlider
what is it
Jack: A-a-actually, I discovered these awesome camping hacks online. Wanna hear 'em?
MoonbeamGlider
sure
Jack: Alright, listen up, MoonbeamGlider! Here's the first one: did you know you can use a simple trick to keep your tent from falling down in the wind?
MoonbeamGlider
how?
Jack: Well, you see, you dig a little trench around the tent, about two feet deep. Then, you place the tent poles in the trench and lean the tent to one side.
MoonbeamGlider
she nods
Jack: And then, instead of using the usual stakes, you fill the holes with sandbags. It makes the tent super secure, even in windy conditions! Isn't that brilliant?
