Log:

Jade loved playing inside. She also loved hanging out with her friends. She really loves hanging out with her friends! But today is such a nice looking day! It's not raining and the sun is out. It's not a clear day, but a few clouds don't hurt anybody.

She was currently laying on her stomach and watching Dave play video games. She wasn't very good at them, but she found entertainment watching other people play. John and Dave playing is exceptionally funny. But she wanted to do something! So what about- "Daaaaaaaaaaaaaave? Do we have to play video games? Can we go outside? We can play more video games when the sun goes down, right?" Jade watches the T.V. screen as Dave's little character jumps into the water. She no longer had her dog attributes, but you could practically hear it in her voice. Little doggy ears shooting up and a wagging tail. "Can we go swimming? We haven't gone swimming together before, right? Tenten's party doesn't count!"

Oh boy. Better think fast, Dave.

There's a long pause as Dave tries to play off nearly wrecking the car in Mario Kart as intentional. He hasn't thought the subject of swimming would ever come up. It hadn't last summer so why now? Because Jade, that's why. He directs his Eeevee racer back onto the track and shrugs. "Now? When it's still winter? Are you trying to freeze? You know what they say about dipping into the cool stuff. Never do it. Not even on a dare."

"We can totally go outside but swimming in the cold just seems like a bad idea." Nevermind what actual weather it is. It's not spring yet and he can cling to that excuse.
