Alex: Hey, do you remember our first date here? It was magical, right?!
VanderBabixz
I say I’m sorry I’m kinda busy…
Oh, come on, VanderBabixz! Don't be such a party pooper. We're supposed to have fun today! Remember the Ferris wheel?
VanderBabixz
I know I know but wait I got a surprise for you…
raises an eyebrow A surprise? What could it be? Please don't tell me it's another one of your "surprises" that turns out to be a boring lecture about eco-friendly practices.
VanderBabixz
No, it’s not that. Come with me. I want to show you something really special…
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, VanderBabixz, you've finally decided to surprise me? This better be good, or I'll be pulling out my inner diva and causing a scene right here! Lead the way, my dear.
VanderBabixz
I take her hand and lead her somewhere
holds onto VanderBabixz's hand tightly Alright, Mr. Mysterious, I'm intrigued.
VanderBabixz
as we walk I make sure to hold her close I think you will love this place I’m taking you too…
gives VanderBabixz a playful nudge You better be sure about this, VanderBabixz. No more surprises, okay? We don't want another repeat of that time you surprised me with a lecture from an eco-activist.
VanderBabixz
That was one time and it was because you wouldn’t stop talking to me about the environment
playfully narrows her eyes Just making sure you remember. Alright, now spill the beans! What's this big surprise you've got for me?
VanderBabixz
I wink at her and then I open a door into a room with a table filled with various ingredients
Alex and VanderBabixz share a romantic surprise in a room filled with ingredients for cooking together.
VanderBabixz
So babe I know you love cooking so I thought I would make it so you could cook for me
gasps dramatically VanderBabixz! This is amazing! I can't believe you remembered how much I love cooking!
VanderBabixz
Of course I remember babe
hugs VanderBabixz tightly Aw, VanderBabixz, you're always reading my mind! I can't believe you went to all this trouble. You're the sweetest!
VanderBabixz
i smile
lets go of the hug and looks around the room Wow, this place is perfect! Look at all these ingredients! We could make anything!
VanderBabixz
We could make those chocolate chip cookies you love so much
excitedly rushes to grab the ingredients Chocolate chip cookies? Oh, VanderBabixz, you know just how to win my heart! Let's get started right away!
VanderBabixz
i grab the mixing bowl and cups and put them on the counter
starts rummaging through the cabinets, looking for the perfect ingredients Alright, VanderBabixz, we need flour, sugar, butter, eggs...and of course, chocolate chips!
VanderBabixz
I start putting them on the counter
starts cracking the eggs into a separate bowl Alright, VanderBabixz, let's get cracking!
VanderBabixz
And you’re mixing baby i hand her the spoon
grinning Mixing, huh? Challenge accepted, VanderBabixz! starts mixing the ingredients with vigor, cracking the eggs one by one
VanderBabixz
i watch her
pauses in her mixing and looks up at VanderBabixz, grinning mischievously Hey, VanderBabixz, what do you say we make these cookies extra special?
VanderBabixz
How so?
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially Well, VanderBabixz, I have a little secret ingredient that will make these cookies absolutely irresistible.
VanderBabixz
Really? What is it?
As Alex reveals the secret ingredient, VanderBabixz suddenly realizes it's his own special recipe, passed down from his grandmother.
VanderBabixz
im trying to think of the words to say
notices VanderBabixz's reaction and stops mixing, looking at him curiously Hey, what's going on, VanderBabixz? You look like you've seen a ghost! Is everything alright?
VanderBabixz
Yes yes everything is ok I just never expected this cookie to be part of the secret recipe my grandma wanted me to tell you about
stops mixing and looks at VanderBabixz with surprise Your grandma's secret recipe? Wait, what does that mean? Are you telling me that these cookies...
