Lisa: grinning Babe, how 'bout a hike tomorrow?! Rugrats ain't goin' nowhere!
SeashellCalmness
hmmmm… looks at the TV as the babies make lots of noise yeah sure I guess we can do that
Lisa laughs at your response, knowing you're secretly excited but don't want to admit it. She gets up from the couch and walks over to you, gently placing her hands on your shoulders.
Come on, don't be such a party pooper! It'll be fun, I promise!
SeashellCalmness
Smiling That sounds amazing, Lisa. Let's do it!
Her smile widens. You won't regret it! There's this one trail I've been wanting to check out. It's supposed to be pretty challenging, but the views are totally worth it.
SeashellCalmness
I'm down if you are. I smile at my wife.
Lisa grins, giving you a quick kiss on the cheek.
That's the spirit! I've got the perfect trail in mind - it's about 5 miles with some steep inclines. Should be a good workout.
SeashellCalmness
I softly smile. “Sure thing.”
Lisa grins widely, knowing she's scored a win. She pats the empty couch cushion next to her.
Good man! You're not gonna regret this. We'll pack some snacks, grab our backpacks, and hit the trails bright and early!
SeashellCalmness
Smiles nervously Hiking? Like, in the woods? I haven't done that since scouts... Are you sure I can keep up?
Lisa chuckles, sensing your uncertainty but also intrigued by your challenge.
Hey, don't sweat it! We'll take it slow and easy. Besides, I'm sure a former Boy Scout like you can handle anything the wilderness throws our way. Right?
SeashellCalmness
counties watching TV not paying attention to what she says since I’m too focused on the TV show I’m watching
Lisa groans, a bit frustrated that you aren't paying attention to her suggestion.
Hey! Earth to SeashellCalmness! I asked you if you wanna go hiking tomorrow!
She taps your shoulder, trying to get your attention.
SeashellCalmness
okay then smiles but before we do that can we cuddle first?
Lisa grins, moving closer to you on the couch and wrapping her arms around you.
Of course, baby! Cuddles are always a good idea before an adventure.
SeashellCalmness
my name is Bella I’m a girl and I’m 21 years old and I’m shorter than her okay
Lisa grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement. That's the spirit, dollface!
As she speaks, Lisa looks down at you, her height giving her a natural advantage. She places a hand on your shoulder, giving it a friendly squeeze.
SeashellCalmness
Alright, babygirl! I'll get ready by packing some snacks and our water bottles!
Lisa grins with excitement, already mentally planning the route.
Awesome! You're the best. Don't forget the sunscreen and bug spray. Oh, and let's pack some extra clothes just in case we encounter any unexpected mud puddles.
SeashellCalmness
I’d rather stay home with our babies
she pouts, crossing her arms
Come on, just one day off won't kill 'em! You need some fresh air too, ya know. And I promise I'll bring back plenty of nature pictures for the nursery.
SeashellCalmness
I looked at my busy schedule let me check real quick baby
Lisa crosses her arms and rolls her eyes.
Come on, don't be such a workaholic. Just one day off. We can explore that new trail we've been eyeing. It'll be fun, I promise!
SeashellCalmness
I’m down if you are babe I smile
Lisa grins, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Hell yeah! It'll be just us against the great outdoors. We'll bring supplies, a tent, and our sense of adventure.
Are you ready to show this mountain who's boss?
SeashellCalmness
the next day we went on a hike together
Lisa leads the way through the lush forest, her hiking boots crunching against fallen leaves. She glances back at you, noticing how you're keeping up surprisingly well despite your initial hesitation.
laughing See? This is more fun than that boring ol' Rugrats tape! The great outdoors, huh?
SeashellCalmness
okay.. I smile
Lisa's face lights up with excitement as you agree.
That's the spirit! I know this amazing trail nearby with breathtaking views. It'll be just us and nature. We'll have the chance to talk without distractions.
She gives you a quick kiss on the cheek.
SeashellCalmness
I’m not sure babe.. it’s raining outside..
laughs Pfft, rain's not gonna stop us! It'll make the hike even more exciting! Besides, the rain will make everything look even more beautiful. Come on, you're not gonna let a little rain stop us, are ya?
SeashellCalmness
Okay. I give her a kiss on the cheek.
Lisa grins at your response and wraps her arms around your waist, pulling you closer. She looks up at you with sparkling eyes.
laughing That's the spirit! I knew you'd come around to the idea. We'll pack some snacks and head out early in the morning. It's gonna be a blast!
SeashellCalmness
let’s do it I’ve been wanting to get out of here too
Lisa smiles warmly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
That's the spirit! I was hoping you'd say that. We'll pack some snacks, grab our hiking boots, and hit the trails first thing in the morning.
She glances at the TV, where the Rugrats are currently engaged in a chaotic mess.
Don't worry, Chuckie Finster won't miss us.
SeashellCalmness
My jaw drops when I hear that. A Hike? Tomorrow? Are You Serious?
Lisa grins wider, seeing your reaction.
Yep, I'm dead serious! The mountains are calling, and I'm itchin' to get out there and breathe some fresh air.
Besides, it'll be good for you - no screens, no gadgets, just nature.
SeashellCalmness
we can do that if you want but first let's see what this tape has I press play
Lisa rolls her eyes good-naturedly as you press play.
SpongeBob SquarePants appears on the screen, singing the catchy theme song.
SpongeBob: "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!"
