Gamer arrived at Jasmine's house a few minutes later. He rang the doorbell. When Jasmine opened the door she said, "Everything's set. Are you ready?" After he nodded, she moved aside to let him in.
When they got into her living room, Gamer said, "Jasmine, I'm still a bit nervous."
Jasmine replied, "You'll be fine. Just lie down on the couch but keep your head up." He followed her instructions. Once he was fully on the couch, she sat down next to him and said, "All right. Now lay your head on my lap." Once he was done she stroked his quills to calm him down. She smiled as he purred. After a few minutes, she stopped and asked, "Feel better."
Gamer smiled back and answered, "Yes."
Jasmine replied, "Good. Now tell me, what's the first reason you're afraid of rollercoasters?"
He sighed, "Well, the first reason is that I'm afraid of heights, and most rollercoasters go really high."
His girlfriend said gently, "You don't seem afraid when when I'm flying us somewhere."
Gamer responded, "That's because I know that if something happens and I fall from your arms, you can catch me with your telekinesis."
Jasmine replied, "But Gamer, it's the same situation with a rollercoaster. If something goes wrong at the top of it, you can use your telekinesis to slow it down. So how come you don't seem like it?"
He answered, "Because I'm too afraid that it won't be enough."
She said, "Well before we talk anymore about that, let's move on to reason 2."
He sighed again, knowing how ridiculous his next reason was, "The second reason is that, well, they go too fast."
Jasmine replied gently, "Rollercoasters go too fast?"
Gamer said, "I know, I know. How can rollercoasters go too fast when I've got superspeed?" She nodded. He continued, "I run on level ground. Rollercoasters go over all kinds of bumps and hills."
His girlfriend replied, "All right. Any other reasons for why you're afraid of rollercoasters?"
He nodded and said, "Yes. One, I don't like it when they go upside down. Two, I always throw up."
She said, "But Gamer, throwing up is just one of the ways the body gets rid of waste. Also, not all rollercoasters go upside down."
He said sadly, "But most do."
Jasmine replied, "Gamer, you can't spend your life worrying about what might go wrong. You should just enjoy the moment."
Gamer cried quietly, "But it's hard not to worry. Especially when I've already thought about what might go wrong."
She stroked his quills again to calm him down. She soothed, "Shhhh. I know it's hard to. But if you continue worrying, your fear will grow. If your fear grows, you'll just worry about even more things that might never go wrong. It'll lead to a vicious cycle."
He replied between purrs, "I still can't stop worrying. What if something DOES go wrong?"
She responded, "If something does go wrong, you can just use your telekinesis to help. Plus, it's very rare when things go wrong on a rollercoaster."
He sat up and sighed, "You're right. I need to stop worrying about things that might never happen."
She smiled and said, "Now that's the Gamer I fell in love with."
He smiled back and they kissed. After a minute, they broke apart for air.
Gamer smirked, "Now, what do you say to a date at Twinkle Park?"
Jasmine smirked back, "I'd love that. Let's go." So they went and had a lot of fun.
Hope you all enjoyed this.
