INT. QUADRI PARK — LUNCH TIME

Ariadne confidently walks up to one of the tables behind the main building where Dionysus and his three friends are seated. The truth is, she is nervous as hell but as they say, fake it until you make it. So she did.

ARIADNE
Hello!

She smiles as she stops in front of their table. Dionysus, Pan, Sil and Tyler all stopped eating to look at her. Kabado siyang napalunok, parang nawala bigla ang tapang niya kaya humigpit ang hawak niya sa bungkos ng bulaklak na dala. It's a bouquet of white tulips.

PAN
Tara dito, Aria. Upo ka.

ARIADNE
Okay lang.

Muli siyang napalunok. Nakatingin ang apat sa bulaklak na dala niya kaya mabilis niyang iniabot 'yon kay Dionysus.

ARIADNE
That's yours.

Pabalik-balik ang tingin ni Dionysus sa kanya at sa bulaklak. She bites her lower lip and shyly looks at him.

ARIADNE
It means new beginnings.

DIONYSUS
For?

ARIADNE
Us?

Nanatiling tahimik ang mga kaibigan nila. Gusto sana nilang magbiro kaso ang hitsura nina Ariadne at Dionysus, seryoso. Kabado na seryoso. Parang matatae, bulong pa ni Pan kina Sil at Tyler.

DIONYSUS
Akala ko ba may taste ka? Akala ko ba over your dead and sexy body, hindi ako. Na walang tayo.

ARIADNE
Hindi pa tayo gaanong magkakilala no'n.

DIONYSUS
Ngayon din naman.

ARIADNE
Let's try again?

DIONYSUS
Matapang ka na ba?

ARIADNE
Oo.

Dionysus smiles at her answer, then he nods. Ariadne triumphantly beams at them, with an understanding that he is giving her a chance to make things right.
