Update: 12/29/21
[Scene: Drizzy and Amillia are walking around the town square in winter clothing. They begin to make their way to Amillia's house.]
Drizzy: "Ah, we've finally come to the end of another year. I hope you guys out there are doing ok, and thanks for stopping by! I assure you everything is going well on our end, and more episodes will be made…even if it takes a bit due to hiatuses.
Amillia:"Sigh, you're doing it again Drizzy! Who are you talking to? It's just the two of us, remember?"
Drizzy: "Oh yeah, that's right. For some reason, Cilia and Drip really urged me to take your offer to hang out with you and came up with excuses why they could not come last minute. Really odd…"
Amillia: "Yeah, I guess…" (In her thoughts) After all this time, he's still not getting it…it's hopeless.
Drizzy: "Hey, what's wrong Amillia? I've noticed that you progressively have felt worse since the start.'
Amillia: "It's…it's nothing! I'm just fine.''
Drizzy: "Come on Amillia, you can tell me your true feelings. You're my best friend, you know?"
Amillia: "Well, I truly did enjoy our time together; I truly do. I always enjoy hanging out with you, but there's always been a feeling that I need to get off my chest."
Drizzy: "Really? Whelp, we are outside of your house now, and it's almost a new year. Never end the year with regrets, so whatever it is, go for it! I promise I'll understand."
Amillia: "You promise?"
Drizzy: "Promise."
Amillia: (She slightly hesitates, but finally musters some courage) "Please, close your eyes and listen; no peeking!"
Drizzy: "Okay!"
Amillia: "Thanks for everything you have done for me Drizzy. You are one of the greatest things in my life…and I'm looking forward to hanging out with you more in the future."
Drizzy: (In his thoughts) Suddenly after she said those words, I felt a warm sensation on my left cheek. It was only for a moment, but I felt some strong emotion behind it. What…what could this mean? What did she do to me? There's no way…
Amillia: (In a slightly nervous tone)"You can open your eyes now, silly! My folks are waiting inside for me; please give my greetings to your family! Ok, bye! (She winks at the flabbergasted Drizzy and waves at him as she runs inside.)
Drizzy: (Brain overloaded!) "Yeah…I will. Thanks to you too Amillia…
As Drizzy stands outside, and Amillia shuts the door inside, both are blushing as they attempt to process the sudden events. Meanwhile, what are Cilia and Drip doing? We'll explore their stories in future parts!
