* Group date & cocktail party*

* Omniscient POV *

The ladies were all in the living room, eagerly waiting for the date card. As they chatted and exchanged excited looks, their anticipation for the upcoming group date grew.

Ariel: "I wonder what today's group date will be. The suspense is killing me!"

Kelsey: "Me too! I hope it's something fun and adventurous. I could use a bit of excitement."

Madina: "Whatever it is, I'm just excited to spend more time with Lewis. It's always such a good time with him."

Lauren: "Absolutely. I feel like every date brings us closer to understanding him and what he's looking for."

(She spoke, and the other ladies nodded in agreement, their expressions showing they shared her sentiment. Just then, a loud knock on the door captured their attention. The room fell silent as everyone sat up straight, their excitement and curiosity clear as they exchanged glances.)

Ariel: "I'll get it!"

(Ariel smiled as she stood up and walked to the door.)

Ariel: " Okay here we go."

(Feeling excited, she carefully opened the envelope and pulled out the date card. Holding it up to get everyone's attention, she took a moment before reading it aloud.)

Ariel: "Ariel, Kelsey, Madina, and Lauren - Get ready to take the plunge into a memorable experience. Love, Lewis."

Kelsey: "That sounds thrilling! I wonder what he has planned."

Madina: "Maybe something with water? A plunge sounds like swimming or diving.

Lauren: "Whatever it is, I'm ready. Let's make it an amazing day, ladies!"

(She smiled warmly as they headed upstairs to get ready for the day. The air was filled with excitement as each woman picked out her outfit, eagerly chatting about what was in store. Once they were dressed and prepared, they left with high spirits and enthusiasm. Their driver took them through scenic routes until they reached their destination: a large outdoor adventure park. The park had a sparkling lake, thrilling zip lines, and a challenging obstacle course, all set against a beautiful backdrop. As the car stopped, their excitement soared. They stepped out to see Lewis waiting at the entrance, his smile widening as he saw them approach.)

Lewis: "I'm so glad you could all join me today. I've planned an exciting day full of challenges and fun. Ready to take the plunge?"

(He asks eagerly, as the lady cheers loudly.)

Ariel:  "Absolutely! What's first on the agenda?"

Lewis: "We're starting with a zip line over the lake. It's a thrilling way to kick off our adventure and get the adrenaline pumping.

Kelsey: "I've always wanted to try zip lining. Let's do this!"

(She said with wide eyes and an excited smile, clearly thrilled. The group then walked to the zip line platform. One by one, they put on their gear and took off, soaring over the water with excited shouts and laughter.)

Madina: "That was incredible! The view from up there is amazing."

Lauren: "And the rush! I felt like I was flying."

Lewis: "I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Next, we have an obstacle course that will test our teamwork and agility. Are you ready for the challenge?"

Ariel: "Bring it on. We've got this!"

(She answered with strong determination as they headed to the obstacle course. Together, they faced the challenges, cheering each other on. With laughter and teamwork, they showed a mix of friendly competition and real camaraderie, growing closer with every obstacle they overcame.)

Kelsey: "That was tougher than it looked, but so much fun!"

Lewis: "You all did amazing. It's great to see such teamwork and spirit. How about we finish off with a swim in the lake to cool down?"

Madina: "That sounds perfect. Let's dive in!"

(They head to the lake. They laugh and enjoy swimming, taking pleasure in being together without the stress of competition. After swimming, they relax on the shore, sharing stories and strengthening their bonds. Lewis wanted today to be about enjoying each other's company and seeing the women at their best, free from the pressures of competition.)

Lewis: "Ariel, what's been your favorite part of today?"

Ariel: "Honestly, the zip line was exhilarating, but my favorite part has been just spending time with you and the girls, experiencing new things together."

Lewis: "I feel the same way. It's these moments that make this journey special."

Kelsey: "Agreed. It's not just about the activities, but the connections we're building along the way."

Madina: "Absolutely. It's been an incredible day, Lewis. Thank you for planning this."

Lauren: "I couldn't agree more. Today has been unforgettable."

Lewis: "I'm glad you all had fun. This has been one of my favorite dates so far. Let's head back and get ready for the cocktail party."

(The ladies and Lewis gather in a circle, raising their glasses for a toast. They celebrate the fun moments of the cocktail party with laughter and thanks for the good times they shared.)

Lewis: " Ladies, thanks again for a great day. I wanted today to be about having fun and getting to know each other. I didn't want it to be just another competition, and it wasn't. You guys did great. So, let's cheers to a great date and an amazing evening ahead."

Ladies: " Cheers!!"
