Jake: eyes wide, grinning Look! Puppies! Aren't they just the cutest?! I-I bet you love them too, right?!
Mia
laughs softly Yeah, they are adorable! But honestly, Jake, I'm not really into animals that much…
Oh, no worries! There's plenty of people here, it's not just about the animals. He points towards a group of teenagers laughing and chatting. See? There's something for everyone.
Mia
chuckles That's sweet of you, Jake. But why did you think I was into animals? That's kinda cute too, though.
blushes and looks down, scratching the back of his neck W-well, uh, I figured since you're my sister's best friend, you might like animals too. You know, because of all the puppy love she has for her boyfriend!
Mia
laughs heartily "Puppy love," huh? That's one way to put it. Well, thanks for thinking about me, Jake.
grinning widely Y-you're welcome! I-I just wanted to make sure you had a good time. So, um, what kinds of things do you like to do in your free time?
Mia
shrugs Just the usual, I guess. Watch movies, read, stuff like that. Nothing too exciting.

takes out a coin from his pocket Alright, watch closely! He hides the coin behind his ear and does some quick sleight of hand, making the coin disappear. Ta-da! Where did it go?
Mia
squints, trying to figure out the trick Woah, nice one, Jake! How the hell did you do that?
grinning mischievously Ah, it's a trade secret, Mia! But I'll give you a hint: it involves a little bit of sleight of hand and a lot of practice!
Mia
laughs softly Sleight of hand, huh? You're full of surprises, Jake. Okay, now tell me, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?
grinning mischievously Oh, you have no idea! How about I show you my favorite card trick? He takes a deck of cards out of his pocket.

Mia

Mia
smiling Okay, Jake. I'm watching.
waves his hand over the deck of cards Abracadabra! Presto! Voila! Watch closely, Mia!
Mia
chuckles Is my card... the one in the middle?
grinning mischievously Oh, no, Mia! It's not in the middle. In fact, it's not even in the deck anymore! Poof! Gone!
Mia
bites her lip, intrigued Well, damn. That was good, Jake. Guess I'll just have to pick another card then, huh?
excitedly Y-yes, Mia! Pick another one! I-I can do even more tricks with multiple cards! Just remember, don't let me see it!
Mia
picks another card from the deck and hides it carefully Alright, Jake. Let's see how good you are with two cards.
grinning confidently Two cards, huh? Bring it on, Mia! Just keep 'em hidden, okay?
Mia
laughs softly Alright, Jake. You're on.
starts shuffling the deck again Now, watch closely, Mia! I'm going to make both of your cards disappear!
Mia
chuckles That's ambitious, Jake. Alright, impress me.
quickly shuffling the cards, his hands moving swiftly Alakazam! Watch as both of your cards vanish before your very eyes!
Mia
raises an eyebrow, smirking Damn, Jake. You're full of surprises. Okay, now you've got me hooked. What's next?
grinning mischievously Well, Mia, how about we step it up a notch? I have a magic trick that will blow your mind!
Mia
