It's Dani. With An I.

“In the beginning there was only ocean…” “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Thank you, [name]. That’s enough.” “As long as we stay on our very safe island… we’ll be fine.“ “The legends are true. Someone will have to go.“ “There you are, [name]. What are you doing? You scared me.” “What? I wanna’s go back.“ “There comes a day when you’re gonna look around and realize happiness is where you are.” “Consider the coconut.” “In time you’ll learn just as I did. You must find happiness right where you are.” “I like to dance with the water. The undertow and the waves. The water is mischievous. Ha! I like how it misbehaves.” “You are your father’s daughter. Stubbornness and pride. Mind what he says but remember, you may hear a voice inside, and if the voice starts to whisper to follow the farthest star… [Name] that voice inside is who you are.” “Sometimes our strengths lie beneath the surface.” “Sometimes… who we wish we were, what we wish we could do… it’s just not meant to be.“ “See the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me. No one knows how far it goes.” “I can lead with pride, I can make us strong, I’ll be satisfied if I play along but the voice inside sings a different song.” “See the light as it shines on the sea, it’s blinding but no one knows how deep it goes and it seems like it’s calling out to me.” “Why aren’t you trying to talk me out of it?” “If there’s something you want to tell me, just tell me!” “Is there something you wanna tell me? Is there something you want to hear?“ “I can’t leave you.“ “There is nowhere you could go that I won’t be with you.” “When you use a bird to write with… it’s called tweeting.“ “You are not my hero.“ “Okay, okay. I see what’s happening. You’re face to face with greatness, and it’s strange. You don’t even know how you feel. It’s adorable.” “Well it’s nice to see that humans never change.” “Let me out! You lying, slimy son of a…“ “Oh, come on! What is your problem? Are you afraid of it?“ “No! No. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) I’m not afraid.” “That is not a heart. It is a curse.“ “Stop that. I will smite you! You wanna get smote? Smotten?“ “Listen, that thing doesn’t give you power to create life… it’s a homing beacon of death. If you don’t put it away, bad things are gonna come for it.” “You’d be a hero. That’s what you’re all about, right?“ “Okay, first, I’m not a princess.“ “You’re measuring the stars, not giving the sky a high-five.” “Enjoy your beauty rest?“ “Muscle up, buttercup. We’re here.“ “We’re going to the realm of monsters?“ “If you start singing, I’m gonna throw up.” “I just had to know… how you became so… crabulous?“ “Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are… I will gladly do so.” “I made myself a work of art.” “Did you like the song?” “Listen… I appreciate what you did down there.“ “I’m sorry. I’m trying to be sincere for once, and it feels like you’re distracted.” “You don’t wanna talk, don’t talk. You wanna throw me off the boat… throw me off. You wanna tell me I don’t know what I’m doing… I know I don’t.“ “That is literally the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.” “I’m not killing myself so you can prove you’re something you’re not!” “Why did you bring me here? I’m not the right person. Choose someone else. Please.“ “It’s not your fault. I never should have put so much on your shoulders. If you are ready to go home… I will be with you.“ “Why do you hesitate?“ “Sometimes the world seems against you. The journey may leave a scar, but scars can heal and reveal just where you are.” “The people you love will change you, the things you have learned will guide you, and nothing on earth can silence the quiet voice still inside you. And when that voice starts to whisper [Name], you’ve come so far… [Name], listen. Do you know who you are?” “[Name]! You came back.” “They have stolen the heart from inside you, but this does not define you. This is not who you are. You know who you are. Who you truly are.” “Look, what I did was… wrong. I have no excuse. I’m sorry.“

while this is, in fact, the name of the pastry, it’s ALSO the name of a species of wasp for some reason. the genie, being a nasty trickster, will no doubt give you a bunch of wasps.

“Whatever you’re talking about, I swear I didn’t do it.”

Her grin never once wavered. “Danielle– but call me Dani. With an i. And uh… I don’t really have a last name.” she explained as she shook his hand.  “We don’t get a lot of visitors in Amity Park. Unless they’re here for ghost tours or something…” She shrugged.  “Anyway, nice t’ meet you.”

You know any good places to eat?”

She would definitely keep on alert when back at the motel. Dani was naive, but she had learned by now to ‘sleep with one eye open’ when bunking with someone new. 

Danielle’s gaze shifted toward the man. She didn’t know whether to talk, run away, or just kind of pretend she didn’t hear. Was he genuinely wondering if she was alright?“Huh? Yeah. Why?” She adjusted the red beanie atop her head and studied him. “Do I look not ok?”

He was a little nervous, wondering what on Earth he was even doing… the kid would probably think he was some creep…
