Meet-cute scene

Erin: (Falls and scrapes her knee) Ugh. How annoying.

Jake: (Hurries over) Is everything alright?

Erin: (Gets up) I'm fine, don't worry about me. (Walks away)

Jake: (Mumbles) Sorry for caring.

Erin: (Turns around) Were you talking to me?

Jake: No.

Erin: Oh, I thought you were. (Turns away and promptly trips) Not again!

Jake: Do you need a hand?

Erin: I told you I'm fine. Stop caring about me!

Jake: (Worried) Why shouldn't I care about you if you're hurting yourself?

Erin: I don't even know you!

Jake: Fine then. My name is Jake. What's yours?

Erin: What do you want?

Jake: To be friends. Come on, I gave you my name, can you please tell me yours?

Erin: (Sighs) Erin.

Jake: Great, now that we know each other, can you tell me why you keep tripping over?

Erin: That's none of your business!

 Jake: Whoa, settle down. I didn't mean anything by it.

Erin: If you must know, it's because I don't have a very good sense of balance. Something about my ear fluid being messed up, I don't really know. Wait, why am I telling you this?!

Jake: Maybe it's because you trust me.

Erin: Huh?

Jake: All I know is, I trust you. So please trust me when I tell you that I will help you get home safe.

Erin: (Sighs) Fine.

He growled back at her, "They live their lives without fear, all their kids grow up to be adults, and they don't have to worry that a hawk will try to eat them every time they step outside!" "They also toss their garbage into the river without ever considering the consequences! They drive their cars down paved roads and scare away all of our prey! They destroy the planet to fuel their greed and sloth!" She flexed her claws. "Why would you want to do that to anyone!" "Because then I could eat a steady meal without having to hunt for it! Why don't you understand? Life is too hard here!" "Life should be hard! It should be a struggle to survive! That's why it is valuable! If you don't understand that, then go drown in the river, I don...

Experiment #1

     She sat on the swing, gently swaying back and forth, her ears deaf to the raucous sound of squealing children, and to their parents' frequent calls to be careful. She only had ears for one thing, and one thing only.      "'I'm sad, and I really hope that the rose bush over there starts reading my mind again. I really need someone to talk to.'" the rose bush announced.      "Yeah, pretty much." she said drearily.      "'Oh yay. Someone's finally talking to me.'" the rose bush continued.      The girl smiled, her day was already brightening, she loved that rose bush dearly, it was her best friend.      "Oh for the love of God, I can't take it anymore!" the rose bush declared.      The girl quickly whirled her head to face the bush, "I wasn't thinking that!"      "Yes you were," the rose bush said, "I'm here to read the ...
