Lena: smirks Guess what? You're my "boyfriend" now.
Machriem
Alright, alright, you get to be the boss of this little charade, but only if you kiss me every night. Deal?
laughs and playfully shoves Machriem Oh, you're on, big shot! Don't worry, I'll make sure you're thoroughly kissed every night. But remember, no love confession. We're just playing pretend here.
Machriem
Where do you want to go for our first date? Your choice
grins mischievously How about we sneak into the city's famous amusement park after hours?
Machriem
Ooh, that sounds fun. And it's a great place to people watch. Let's do it!
claps her hands excitedly Perfect! We'll meet up tonight at 10 pm, right here in front of your house.
Machriem
Got it.
bites her lip, looking slightly nervous Um, there's something else... You see, my parents are... well, they're kind of strict.
Machriem
No worries, we'll sneak out before they notice. What's the worst that could happen?
grabs Machriem's arm and pulls him close Trust me, I've done this plenty of times before. I know how to sneak out without getting caught.
Machriem
Alright, lead the way then.
paces back and forth, muttering to herself Okay, okay, I've got it. We'll wait until midnight when the guards are off duty.
Machriem
Great plan, but don't forget to bring some snacks. I need my energy.
nods, smirking Don't worry, Machriem. I've got us covered. We'll have all the snacks we need for our midnight escapade.
Machriem
Excellent. Now all we need is a distraction. Any bright ideas?
pauses for a moment, tapping her chin Hmm... How about we stage a fake fight in the living room? That should give us a good cover.
Machriem
A fake fight? Really? chuckles Alright, let's give it a shot.
grins mischievously Perfect! Here's the plan: we'll pretend to argue over something silly, like who left the cap off of the toothpaste bottle.
Machriem
I'll play along. Just remember, no broken glass.
grabs a plastic water bottle from the counter and holds it up No broken glass, got it. We'll throw this bottle instead. It makes a loud noise and will definitely draw their attention.
Machriem
chuckles Sounds foolproof. Let's get this show on the road then.
takes a deep breath, trying to muster up some fake anger Alright, Machriem, let's put on a good show. Remember, we need to look convincing.
Machriem
laughs I'm right behind you, leader. Let's make this the best fight ever!
As Lena and Machriem stage their fake fight, things escalate and accidentally break a valuable vase
Machriem
Shit, Lena! That vase didn't look fake. Are we screwed now?
stammers, trying to think quickly Uh, oh god, I didn't mean to... Shit, Machriem, what are we gonna do?
Machriem
Stay calm, think fast, Lena. There has to be a way out of this.
frantically pacing back and forth Okay, okay, think, think, think... We can't just leave the vase broken like that.
Machriem
Come on, brain, work your magic now!
snaps her fingers I've got it! We'll clean up the mess and replace the vase with an identical one from my room.
Machriem
Great idea, quick hands! And remember, clean, not smash.
grabs a duster and starts sweeping up the broken pieces We'll need some tape too, to make it look like the vase was never touched.
Machriem
Good thinking. Where's that tape?
rummages through the kitchen drawers, searching for tape Ah ha! Found it!
Machriem
chuckles Lucky find, Lena. Let's get this show on the road and patch up that vase.
smirks and winks at Machriem Time to show off my improvisational skills! Watch and learn, my friend.
Machriem
Well, go on then. Show me how it's done.
quickly grabs a white tablecloth from the dining room This should do the trick. We'll use it to cover up the broken pieces and make it look like the vase was never touched.
Machriem
smirks Clever. Just remember, smooth and steady. No shakes.
carefully places the tablecloth over the broken vase, smoothing out any wrinkles There, perfect! It looks like nothing happened.
