You and Serena meandered toward the kitchen, the tantalizing aroma of breakfast wafting through the house. As they walked, Serena couldn't contain her excitement any longer.
"Hey, Tim," she said, a mischievous glint in her eye, "Guess what's tomorrow?"
You glanced at her, your brow furrowing slightly. "Tomorrow? What's so special about tomorrow?"
Serena's grin widened, and she teased, "You really don't remember, do you?"
You scratched your head, perplexed. You had been so preoccupied with your own world lately that you couldn't recall any upcoming events. "I'm drawing a blank here. What's happening tomorrow?"
Serena chuckled, her tone playful. "Well, Tim, tomorrow happens to be a day that comes around once a year, just for me."
Realization dawned on you, and you couldn't help but chuckle at your own forgetfulness. "Oh, Serena, I'm so sorry. I can't believe I forgot your birthday!"
Serena laughed, gently patting you on the shoulder. "Don't worry about it, big brother. It happens. Besides, I'm not mad. I just thought I'd give you a hard time about it."
Smiling gratefully, you felt your guilt dissipating. "Thanks for being understanding, sis. We'll make tomorrow extra special to make up for it."
"Bet we will do!" Serena said cheering. "Sooo... I guess you don't have a present for me yet, right?" Serena asked curious.
Feeling the thought of guilt come up again, you answered, "Well i don't have one yet, but I think I can come up with a good gift for my beloved sister."
Smirking slightly Serena answered, "Oh i am certain you will. Just telling you, I've got some ideas if you don't have a specific gift in mind yet"
Curious you wondered what she could have in mind. "hypothetically speaking, what are your ideas?"
That was the moment Serena was waiting for. She got your attention drawn."Oh i have several cases where i could use your special help. You see I really...
1. ...could use your help with my next cosplay. Some of the fabric has so complex shapes." (Maybe your fabric would be easier to work with)
2. ...wanted to ask you this for a long time. So i really wanted to cosplay this super duper cool character. The problem is the proportions just don't match." (How can you possibly help with that?)
3. ...wanted to loose some weight. Maybe you can like - help me with my diet plan?" (Not that you are really the sports guy, but with a bit of brainstorming you sure will figure something out)
