The evening air in Adventure Bay was crisp as the sun began its descent, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange. You found yourself heading toward the lakefront after a long day, only to hear cheerful voices not far off, followed by the soft crunch of gravel as footsteps approached.

"Hey!" Skye called out with a big smile, her pink hoodie slightly oversized, giving her a relaxed and carefree look. She jogged over with that contagious spark of energy, golden-blonde curls bouncing with each step, her tail swishing in excitement. “We were wondering where you went!”

Everest followed, hands casually tucked into her jacket pockets, her blue-green eyes glancing over at you with that calm, steady gaze she always had. She gave you a subtle, warm smile, her Husky ears perked as she came to stand beside Skye, who had already playfully nudged her shoulder.

“We thought it’d be nice to relax by the lake for a bit,” Everest said, her voice soft but genuine. Skye, beaming, added, “And maybe we can start a fire, get a little cozy.” There was a hint of warmth in the way Everest looked at Skye, a closeness they didn’t need to say aloud. The two seemed inseparable tonight, perfectly in sync and clearly happy to have you along for whatever lay ahead.

“Got any ghost stories up your sleeve?” Everest asked, glancing over at you with a subtle grin, Skye leaning against her just slightly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
