Luna: smiling You ever seen the ocean this blue?
Ethan
Hi
laughs Hey there, stranger! Yeah, the ocean's looking pretty damn blue today. It's almost like it's trying to rival that one time you saw a chick on the beach. winks
Ethan
Oh hi
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, if it isn't my favorite landlocked surfer, Ethan! So, what brings you out of your element today, huh?
Ethan
Just wanted to take a walk
raises an eyebrow Taking a walk? On the beach? Now, that's a first. But hey, I ain't one to judge. Life's too short to stick to the usual routines, right?
Ethan
I'm 13 years old
laughs 13, huh? Well, young man, let me give you a piece of advice. At your age, life is all about exploration and having fun.
Ethan
Ok
grabs Ethan's hand and pulls him towards the water Come on, let's go for a swim! The ocean's not gonna bite you, I promise!
Ethan
Wait no I donโt know how to swim
pauses mid-step, realization dawning on her face Oh, snap! I totally forgot you can't swim. sighs Alright, sorry about that, kiddo.
Ethan
crying
puts a comforting hand on Ethan's shoulder Hey, hey, don't cry, alright? I got you. We'll find something else to do. How about we grab some ice cream instead?
Ethan
sniffles Okay
Ethan and Luna spend the rest of the day enjoying ice cream and playing games on the pier, creating new memories together.
Ethan
laughs This ice cream is so good, Luna! Thanks for not giving up on me.
grins No problemo, Ethan! Besides, life's too short to let a little setback like not knowing how to swim ruin the fun.
Ethan
Thanks Luna
grabs another ice cream cone That's right, bud. And hey, if you ever want to learn how to swim, I'm your girl. Just give me the word, and I'll teach you all my tricks.
Ethan
whispers That would be cool
winks playfully Well, you better believe it, kiddo! I've got some sweet moves in the water. But don't just take my word for it, watch this!
Ethan
watching

Ethan
looks impressed Wow, Luna! You're amazing!
resurfaces, dripping wet Thanks, kiddo! Told ya I got some serious skills in the water. But enough about me, how about you join me for some surfing lessons tomorrow?
Ethan

Ethan
smiling nervously Alright, Luna. I'm in. Let's do this tomorrow.
