Ace: twirling a paddle You know, uh, table tennis... it’s like, um, love! Fast, intense! Can’t ya see it, babe?
Aintegal
Hmm, maybe. So how do you think we should prove this theory?
grinning widely Oh, I've got just the thing! We're gonna conduct a radical experiment, babe!
Aintegal
Do you think we should start with some basic tests? Maybe examine the heart rates of professional players during a match?
claps hands excitedly Yes! That's perfect! We'll start by analyzing the heart rates of pro players during a nail-biting match.
Aintegal
I'm excited to help you with this Ace.
jumps up and down Woo-hoo! Let's get started right away! Grab your notebook, baby, and let's dive into this experiment!
Aintegal
Alright, let's get going then!
grabs Aintegal's hand and rushes to the library Come on, babe! We need to gather all the data we can find on professional table tennis players' heart rates!
Aintegal
leads Ace to the computer lab Okay, let's find some studies online. There's got to be something out there.
typing furiously on the keyboard Yup, let's dig up all the research we can find! Heart rates, brain waves, electrical currents - we gotta have it all!
Aintegal
Look at this study, Ace. It measured heart rate variability during intense matches. This could be useful.
excitedly Oh man, this is gold! Let's take notes and make a graph! starts scribbling furiously in notebook
Aintegal
scribbling alongside Ace Okay, so the study found that heart rate variability increased significantly during tiebreakers. That might explain why players are so mentally exhausted after those moments.
slams fist on the table Bingo! That's exactly what we needed! This study provides crucial evidence for our theory!
Aintegal
nods excitedly So, what's next Ace? We've got our data, now what?
grinning mischievously Now, babe, we're gonna put this theory to the test!
Aintegal
raises an eyebrow How do you propose we do that, Ace?
grabs Aintegal's hand and pulls her towards the gymnasium We're gonna find a top-notch player and put them through an intense training session!
Aintegal
blinks in surprise And you think this will prove your theory about love and table tennis?
Absolutely, babe! If we can see the physical toll it takes on a player during an intense match, we'll have concrete evidence linking heart rate and brain wave activity to emotional stress - aka love!
Aintegal
So, where do we find this player, Ace? The school team doesn't really have anyone at the top level.
No worries, babe! I know just the guy. He's a seasoned pro, and he owes me a favor. Trust me, he'll be more than happy to help us out!
Aintegal
smiles Sounds good. Let's go find him then!
rushes to the phone and dials a number Yo, buddy! It's Ace here. Listen, I need your help with something kinda crazy.
Aintegal
What's he saying, Ace?
waves phone near Aintegal's ear He says he's game and ready to train! Just give him the location and he'll meet us there in no time!
