Okay, so, they like each other. That's been established. Like, kind of. It's been established enough. That was supposed to be the difficult part, the part that made them want to throw up (in a good way!!) and melt into the floor (also in a good way!!) and now there's just that big flashing question of WHAT NEXT? Is this... where dating happens? How does one transition from JUST FRIENDS to MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS when you can't really go on DATES that aren't just DANCES??
Jeffy is, basically, very confused, and he doesn't know why his sister keeps texting him to ask what he and Essie are up to at Disney when he definitely hasn't said anything to her about him and Essie because he doesn't even know what he would say and oh my god, she's just making it worse. Or is he making it worse?
Maybe he should do something with Essie. Like go on a date?? But not something super fancy, because that seems like too much, and they already did a fancy thing not that long ago, and also because Jeffy does not have enough money or enough strategic skill points to figure out how to spend his credits that wisely anyways, and once again, that is TOO MUCH. He and Essie aren't even, like, officially dating or anything (right???? he would KNOW if they were???), so that would be WEIRD but he wants to do SOMETHING and oh my god he's getting hungry, he needs to just say something so they can get some food.
"HEY," Jeffy says to Essie at what seems like an opportune moment, and hopes he wasn't just weirdly quiet for a super long time while he fretted over every aspect of this, "Are you hungry? We should get something to eat! If you want. I mean." He looks around for a convenient spot to eat, like this was something that just sprang into his mind right here and now, because he just happened to smell something super delicious. His eyes fall on a food stand serving the most quintessential carnival foods of them all: hot dogs, corn dogs, cotton candy, curly fries, and a general assortment of things both fried and sugary. Yep. There's the perfect date night meal right there. "That place looks super good."
