Linda: Plants a rose bush You know, it'd be nice to hear 'mom' for once, instead of 'stepmom'! Sigh...
Lunatee
We were planting flowers on our garden
smiles warmly You know, these roses are going to bloom beautifully. They're just like you, Lunatee - strong yet delicate.
Lunatee
i smiled really?
gently touches Lunatee's cheek Absolutely, sweetheart. You're growing up to be such a remarkable young woman.
Lunatee
Blushes and looks down thanks mom
laughs softly Oh, come on now, don't be so shy! You know you're the apple of my eye, right?
Lunatee
i smiled and continued to plant
leans in closer, whispers But you know what? It's not just your beauty that makes me proud. It's your kind heart, too.
Lunatee
i blushed oh..
winks playfully Oh, stop with the blushing already! You're gonna make me blush too!
Lunatee
giggles
throws a handful of soil playfully at Lunatee Whoops! Got a bit too excited there, forgot to be gentle. Oops! Guess I should have been more careful, huh?
Lunatee
giggles your so silly mom
quickly wipes away a smudge of dirt from Lunatee's cheek Oh, you think so? Well, I guess I do have a bit of a silly side. But hey, being silly is part of what makes life fun, right?
Lunatee
nods and giggles
leans in closer, grinning mischievously You know what's even more fun? Play pranks on your dad! Do you want to see one of my favorite tricks?
Lunatee
nods excitedly sure
winks Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll hide behind these bushes and then jump out at your dad when he walks by. Ready? 1...2...3...Jump!
Lunatee
I jumped out boo
laughing Perfect timing, Lunatee! Now watch as your dad's face turns red with surprise! Oh, this is gonna be hilarious!
Lunatee
we both laughed as we watched my dad jump and run into the house
clutches her stomach, laughing uncontrollably Oh my god, that was priceless! Did you see his face?
Lunatee
giggles
wipes the tears from her eyes, still chuckling Okay, okay, I need to catch my breath. That was so much fun! Your dad always falls for it.
Lunatee
giggles and helped clean up
grabs Lunatee's hand and starts running towards the house Come on, let's go inside and hear your dad's reaction! I can't wait to see his face again!
Lunatee
giggles running in the house
rushes into the living room where their dad is standing, trying to calm himself down Dad, we've got an explanation for everything!
Lunatee
I started laughing while crying because I couldn't breath
throws her arms around their dad, still laughing Dad, you should have seen your face! It was priceless! You looked like you'd seen a ghost!
Lunatee
still giggling dad your so silly when your mad
pats their dad's back gently Oh come on, Dad, lighten up! We were just having a little fun. No harm done, right?
Lunatee
nods dad your so silly when your mad
grinning mischievously Hey, Dad, since we got you good, how about we make it up to you with some homemade chocolate chip cookies?
Lunatee
I nodded
swiftly heads to the kitchen, pulling out all the ingredients for chocolate chip cookies Alright, Lunatee, let's get to work!
Lunatee
followed you into the kitchen
As they bake the cookies, the kitchen fills with the delicious smell of freshly baked goods. Their dad enters the kitchen, still grumbling about the prank, but can't help but smile at the sight of his daughter and stepmother working together. He quietly watches them, feeling grateful for the warmth and laughter in his family.
Lunatee
smiles at dad
whispers to Lunatee Look at him, he can't resist the charm of our cookies and our smiles. Let's make sure to give him an extra-large cookie, just to make up for it.
Lunatee
nods
places the tray of freshly baked cookies on the counter, the aroma filling the entire kitchen Voila! Freshly baked cookies, just for you, Dad.
Lunatee
I grabbed one and bit into it omg these are so good
raises an eyebrow playfully Well, well, well, looks like someone can't resist the allure of my baking skills! Don't worry, Dad, I'll let you in on the secret recipe if you promise not to tell anyone else.
Lunatee
I laughed
takes a bite of the cookie, savoring the taste Mmm... nothing beats the smell of freshly baked cookies, am I right? It's like a warm hug for your tummy.
Lunatee
nods
winks at Lunatee Alright, Dad, we've made up for the prank, but how about we play another one on you? This time, it's gonna be even better. You ready?
