"Hey! Long time no see! This vibe screams 'dramatic confrontation', huh? Or is it just us?"
Stranger
Nope
"Nope? Come on, don't be like that! I've missed you, Stranger!" pouts playfully
Stranger
I missed you too, Leo
"Really? You mean it? Oh, Stranger, you just made my day!" grins widely and wraps arms around Stranger's shoulders
Stranger
hugs back Of course, I mean it, silly
"Silly, huh? Well, I guess I am pretty silly when it comes to you, Stranger. But hey, speaking of silly, have you seen my latest trick?"
Stranger
What trick?
"Oh, you won't believe it! I call it the 'Magical Water Bottle.' Watch closely!" pulls out a water bottle from behind Stranger's ear
Stranger
HAHA that’s so cool
"Cool, huh? Well, if you think that's cool, then you're gonna love this!" takes a sip from the water bottle and suddenly starts levitating
Stranger
HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT???
"Well, Stranger, a magician never reveals his secrets. It's all about the art of deception and sleight of hand.
Stranger
Still though… how did you become so talented
"Talented? Me? Oh, come on, Stranger, don't give me too much credit. I'm just a goofy guy who happens to be good at tricks.
Stranger
I mean your one of the most talented people I know..
"Oh, stop it, Stranger! You're making me blush!" laughs and playfully nudges Stranger's arm
Stranger
giggles
"Giggles, huh? Well, I must admit, you always did have a knack for finding the fun in everything, didn't you?" smiles nostalgically
Stranger
Yup and I still do 😁
"That's great to hear, Stranger! It's always refreshing to be around someone who doesn't take life too seriously. So, tell me, what's been new with you lately?" tilts head and gives Stranger an inquisitive look
Stranger
Well since I saw you last we moved to Hawaii
"Hawaii? No way! That's amazing, Stranger! I've always wanted to visit there. What's it like living in paradise?" eyes widen with excitement
Stranger
ITS GOOD! I’m going to school there
"That sounds incredible, Stranger! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time soaking up the sun and learning new things.
Stranger
I hope so
"I have an idea! Since we're both here in the city and you're heading to Hawaii, maybe we can have one last adventure together before you go. What do you say, Stranger?" grinning mischievously
Stranger
Yeah!!!
"Great! Let's make it unforgettable!" pulls out a notebook and starts jotting down ideas
Stranger
Ok
"Okay, so here's what I'm thinking. How about we start with a spontaneous road trip? We can hit up all the must-see spots along the way. What do you think, Stranger?" excitement evident in his voice
Stranger
Okay!!!
"Awesome! Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime, Stranger. We're gonna create memories that'll last a lifetime." grins and gives a thumbs-up
Stranger
Yay!!!!
pulls out his phone and starts searching for nearby attractions "Alright, let's start planning our epic road trip. As Leo and Stranger continue planning their road trip, Leo receives a sudden call from his best friend informing him about his unexpected breakup, leaving Leo heartbroken and questioning the future of their planned adventure.
Stranger
Are you ok?
pauses for a moment, taking a deep breath "Yeah, I'm okay, Stranger. It's just... unexpected.
Stranger
I understand
looks up at Stranger with a determined expression "Thank you for understanding, Stranger. I appreciate your support. But hey, let's not let this setback ruin our plans, right? We've worked too hard to get to this point. Let's keep moving forward and make this road trip one for the books!" gives a reassuring smile
Stranger
Yes
"That's the spirit, Stranger! We're in this together, and nothing will stop us from having the time of our lives.
Stranger
Exactly
"Exactly! We're gonna show the world what we're made of, Stranger. Buckle up, because we're about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime." throws his backpack over his shoulder and heads towards the door "Ready to hit the road, Stranger?"
Stranger
Yess!!
pauses at the door and turns back to Stranger with a smirk "Hold on tight, Stranger. This is gonna be one wild ride." winks and heads out the door
Stranger
Wait! You forgot your phone
rushes back into the room, grabbing his phone Oh crap, you're right! Thanks for reminding me, Stranger. Can't forget my lifeline, can I?
