David was with his girlfriend, Savannah, in her backyard. The 16 year old's backyard was HUGE, and a tad unkempt during the summer when it was just too darn hot to cut the grass. David jokingly referred it as going into Savannah's savanna, to which the blonde haired, blue eyed girl took a liking to and started referring to it as that herself. She often told David how she wanted to go to the African savannah...and the Australian outback...and the North Pole...and outer space... the list went on. She loved adventure, some would say THRIVED on it, and knew the forest beyond her backyard easily like the back of her own pale hand. David never understood why she was so pale when the only time she was indoors was when she absolutely had to be. She hated being indoors, and was always dressed in the clothes of an adventurer. David felt her outfit made her look like a female version of Indiana Jones, to which her response was to kiss him at the time.
Today would be the start of a new adventure for Savannah. One of giant proportions - literally.
"You want to go out to a restaurant, Savannah? We could explore this new place that opened up... I think it's called, Titan's Bounty?" David suggested.
Savannah thought about it for a second. She was feeling slightly hungry, but more for adventure than for food. She looked at David lying there like a lump. A lump that she nonetheless found herself attracted to. "Or, we could dig in the forest for possible buried treasure. You never know." She proposed.
Speaking of treasure, David remembered this mysterious potion for lack of a better term that he found in some dusty old shop, with the description cryptically stating, 'drink, and become the hearts' desire' He assumed the apostrophe being after the 's' to be a spelling mistake but curiosity won over and he had bought it anyway. He was going to challenge Savannah into drinking this, believing it to be just a hoax and nothing more but knowing she couldn't resist a challenge, when another idea popped into his head. Savannah had told him the other day about this gun she found abandoned by her driveway. He had his suspicions as to what it was, and dreamed of her using it on herself.
"Hm, it could be fun...but what about that toy gun thing you found the other day? I dare ya to try it on yourself!" David announced, then quickly added, "Or...you try out this odd potion thing I've got here, said to make the drinker the 'hearts' desire'. It's misspelled, so it's gotta be worth a hoot, right?"
Savannah narrowed her eyes and smiled. Oh how she loved challenges, but she wanted to be sure the proverbial gauntlet had been thrown. "Is that a challenge, David? Shoot a toy gun at myself, or drink your joke drink. Is that right?"
