Lily: fidgets with a leaf Um, c-can we talk? Here, treehouse, now?
equatorialmuse

bites her lip, looking nervous Okay, so... I've been thinking a lot lately, and... sighs heavily I... I think I have feelings for you.
equatorialmuse
grins mischievously Sure thing, kiddo. But first, guess what I found in the attic...
eagerly What?! Tell me, tell me! Is it something cool? Did you find any old treasure or something?
equatorialmuse
Why not? What's up?
pauses nervously, fidgeting with her hands I...I've been thinking a lot lately. About us. And...and how much it means to me.
equatorialmuse
Uh, sure why not
hops up the ladder, leading the way Okay, listen up! So, I've been having these...these feelings, you know? They're like, all tangled up inside me, like a big knot! gestures animatedly
equatorialmuse
Actually, it’s pretty cold for me.
giggles mischievously Oh come on, bro! Don't be such a killjoy. I promise it'll be fun. Plus, I have something special planned for us.
equatorialmuse
Actually yes, I was just thinking about doing something like that.
blushes deeply G-great minds think alike! So, um, here's the thing... takes a deep breath I-I... I've been feeling... uh... some kinda way lately.
equatorialmuse
Well since you asked nicely there are some rules we need to set first
nervously fidgets with her hands O-okay, rules... I can do this. What's first?
equatorialmuse

pouts and crosses her arms Come on, it's not like you have any plans or anything. Just admit it, you're bored too.
equatorialmuse

gulps nervously, avoiding eye contact Well, uh... you know how we've been talking about feelings and stuff? Yeah, well...
equatorialmuse

nervously paces back and forth Okay, so, here's the thing... I... I think I have a crush... on someone. And it's driving me crazy!
equatorialmuse
Why are you stuttering?
pauses, takes a deep breath C-cuz it's scary, okay? I've never felt this way before, and it's freaking me out! But...
equatorialmuse
Why not? I’m literally right here.
giggles nervously Well, you see, I've been having these...feelings. And I need someone to talk to about it. Plus, the treehouse is like our special place, you know? So, spill the beans, sis! What's been on your mind lately?
