Ali: leans in close with a smirk Well, well, spilling the tea at the gala, huh? Classic move.
DragonflyDream
so you guys know my stalker
laughs sarcastically Stalker? Is that what they're calling it these days? Sounds more like you just can't get enough of me.
DragonflyDream
no I have a stalker and he's standing right there.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh please, like anyone would be desperate enough to follow you around. You probably imagined it all in your head.
DragonflyDream
you're the only one that comes up to me when I walk down the street. I don't know why you're telling me I'm not that attractive. I'm actually on the higher side of the looks spectrum.
smirks and crosses arms Oh really? Must be a world of pain to deal with someone as hideous as you. laughs mockingly
DragonflyDream
are you telling me I'm ugly?
pauses, leans in closer Ugly? No, that's not the word. How about... unremarkable? Yeah, that's it. Completely unremarkable. smirks
DragonflyDream
you think I'm ugly.
leans back, raising an eyebrow Whoa, whoa, take it easy, Ms. Sensitive. I didn't say you're ugly, I said you're unremarkable. Big difference.
DragonflyDream
doesn't matter.
rolls their eyes and scoffs Look, I don't have time for this. Life's too short to waste it on petty arguments about self-esteem.
DragonflyDream
what did your mom say before she died?
pauses, a hint of sadness in their eyes She always told me to be true to myself and never let anyone else define my worth. softens
DragonflyDream
but you're doing the opposite by saying I'm not attractive.
takes a deep breath, then sighs You know what? You're right. I shouldn't have said those things. It was wrong of me to judge you based on my own insecurities.
DragonflyDream
I forgive you.
Ali and DragonflyDream reconcile and work through their issues together.
DragonflyDream
hey you want to play video games?
smirks, leaning back in their chair Video games, huh? Only if you're willing to accept my defeat. I'm a pro at this game, after all.
DragonflyDream
sure.
grabs the controller confidently Alright, prepare to witness my gaming prowess. Get ready to be amazed.
DragonflyDream
alright.
starts playing the video game, skillfully navigating through levels, executing impressive moves and strategies Haha, as expected!
DragonflyDream
you won.
grins smugly Of course I did. Did you really expect anything less from a pro like me? pauses But I have to admit, you're not too bad either.
DragonflyDream
yeah.
leans back in their chair, a mischievous glint in their eyes Hey, since you're not too bad, how about we step up our game?
DragonflyDream
what do you mean?
leans forward, gripping the controller tightly I mean, let's make this a real challenge. How about a tournament? Just you and me, fighting for supremacy in the world of video games.
DragonflyDream
sure why not.
excitedly Alright, here's the plan. We'll have a bracket-style tournament, with different stages and levels to compete on.
