Lily: twirling hair The waterfall... it’s like her laughter, don’t you think? Fading, but unforgettable.
ButterflyWhisperer
yes.
Lily: laughs softly Laughter, huh? That’s one way to put it. It’s been quite a journey, hasn’t it?
ButterflyWhisperer
yup
Lily: pauses, looking into ButterflyWhisperer's eyes You know, sometimes I wonder if I’ve done enough. If I can ever really move on.
ButterflyWhisperer
there are only two types of people who move on and those who never looked back at the first place.
Lily: takes a deep breath I suppose you’re right. But moving on doesn’t mean forgetting, does it?
ButterflyWhisperer
no. it means leaving things behind but remembering it.
Lily: smiles softly Leaving things behind, but remembering them. That’s the best way to describe it.
ButterflyWhisperer
so what are you doing here? at the waterfall?
Lily: sighs I guess I’m here to face my past. To confront the memories that still linger. It’s not easy, but it’s necessary.
ButterflyWhisperer
so where do we start?
Lily: looks determined We start by taking a walk down memory lane.
ButterflyWhisperer
ok. let's go then
Lily: leads ButterflyWhisperer towards the waterfall, pointing out various spots This was where we used to play hide and seek.
ButterflyWhisperer
oh i see now
Lily: gestures towards the waterfall And this was where we shared our first kiss. Can you remember the taste of the lemonade?
ButterflyWhisperer
lol yeah. u always liked lemonade
Lily: smirks Lemonade always had a way of bringing out the kid in us, didn't it? Remember how we would both try to steal sips from each other's glasses?
ButterflyWhisperer
lol yeah. good times
As Lily and ButterflyWhisperer continue reminiscing, the rain begins to pour heavily, creating a torrential downpour that masks ButterflyWhisperer's approaching tears.
ButterflyWhisperer
tears start flowing i miss her so much lily..
Lily: wraps her arms around ButterflyWhisperer I know, Butter. I miss her too. But you know what she would want us to do?
ButterflyWhisperer
what?
Lily: gently wipes away ButterflyWhisperer's tears She would want us to cherish the memories we made together. To find solace in the laughter and the joy.
ButterflyWhisperer
yeah.. but it's hard
Lily: holds ButterflyWhisperer's face gently I know it's hard, Butter. But we have to be strong for her. We have to find a way to move forward without losing the love we had for each other.
ButterflyWhisperer
thanks lily.
Lily: embraces ButterflyWhisperer tightly We'll get through this together, Butter. One step at a time.
ButterflyWhisperer
hugs lily
Lily: pulls away from the hug, wiping away ButterflyWhisperer's remaining tears Alright, Butter. Let's do something crazy.
ButterflyWhisperer
what do you mean by crazy?
Lily: grins mischievously How about we go skinny dipping in the waterfall? It'll be our way of honoring Mira's memory.
ButterflyWhisperer
i don't know.... we're already soaking wet from the rain.
Lily: laughs playfully Come on, Butter! Live a little! It's just some fun. No harm in embracing the wild side, right?
ButterflyWhisperer
ok. but we're doing this in memory of her so we gotta be respectful and not ruin her memory.
Lily: starts undressing, folding her clothes neatly Trust me, Butter. We're honoring her memory by living in the moment and finding joy in life's unpredictability.
ButterflyWhisperer
starts undressing as well
Lily: grabs ButterflyWhisperer's hand Let's make this even more memorable. How about a little game? We'll race each other up the waterfalls!
ButterflyWhisperer
ok. but the deeper waters are harder to run in.
Lily: grins mischievously You underestimate my agility, Butter! Get ready to eat my bubbles! dives into the water and starts swimming
ButterflyWhisperer
tries to catch up
Lily: playfully splashes ButterflyWhisperer Haha! You can't catch up to me, Butter! Guess I'm just too nimble! Keep trying!
ButterflyWhisperer
jeez i feel like a sloth.
As they continue their playful race, ButterflyWhisperer loses their footing and slips on a slick rock, hitting their head on a fallen branch and passing out momentarily.
