@bumblebee_bambi He may have been dragged along at first, but now he is enjoying the day, with it being a much needed calm respite after all the chaos recently.
“Honestly, this has been such a blast, thank you for bringing me along.”
“That’s true, plus nothing beats having fun with a friend…” He bowls his second try down towards the pins as he knocks the last couple down.
“Nice, since you said this is a competition, how about we make it a bit more interesting…”
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
“ I mean we are, yeah. But a little competition never hurt nobody. ” she reasoned, picking up another bowling ball from the ball return.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
“It’s all good, just a little warning next time would be appreciated.” He pulls the car over outside his favourite lunch spot.
“At least tell me the picture was good?”
“There’s not much to talk about, just stuff from my past which still plagues me…”
He sounded unsure with his words, still contemplating whether to dump all of this onto her or not, as he clasps his hands together in an effort to stop them shaking.
⠀⠀⠀Her head tilts to the side curiously, setting the screwdriver aside as she turns to face him fully. She ignored his question towards her.
“ Nightmares, huh? . . . Wanna talk about ‘em? ”
“I really hope so Hope…”
He leans into her embrace, fear creeping up his spine at this revelation as he tries to remain calm.
“We’ve come so far and can’t fail now…”
“Wait seriously? Of course I am, that’s just my luck…”
His head falls into his hands, thinking back to her prophecy and Geno’s meddling in his destiny. “So we just have to plan accordingly, no matter the outcome.”
"The same power... and somehow, you are linked to it."
She showed him a screen with his readings back in the pod, and the zero point readings in comparison.
“Hey, in my defence it’s been a long time since I’ve been bowling.” Grabbing his bowling ball and walking up to the lane, taking aim and tossing it down as he hits a couple of pins.
“Plus I thought we were here purely for fun and to wind down after a stressful few weeks.”

⠀⠀⠀Karen tossed her bowling ball down the lane, watching with a smirk as it delivered a perfect strike before turning back to him with a smug grin. “ That’s three in a row! Come on, put up more of an effort, jojo! You’re making this too easy. ”
“Bad dreams, they’ve been plaguing me for a while. They stopped after I arrived in your world, I thought I escaped them here but…”
He looks down at his hands as they tremble slightly, letting them fall to his side as he tries to calm down. “Anyway, what about you?”
⠀⠀⠀She was fiddling with a screwdriver in her hands, shifting it slowly between her fingers.
“ I usually can’t sleep, this is normal. Real question is why are you up? ”
