Valeria set up Dean's pod more simply than the rest since they had mostly talked about outdoorsy stuff and she couldn't really think up a skateboard date. She did have them put in a first aid kit as a joke. There was a picnic blanket with fondue set up.

For his date with Valeria, Dean had set up a charcuterie board with various cheeses, meats, nuts, olives, and fruits. There was a small box with a bow on it, inside she would find a pair of shot glasses with an etched in snowflake.
"Fondue!" He said excitedly as he stepped into the pod for their date. Then he laughed as he spotted the first aid kit. "A first aid kit, well aren't you clever." he said with a teasing, playful air.

"Ooo yum!" Valeria exclaimed about the charcuterie board. "Aww this is so thoughtful! Thank you!" Valeria said as she opened the box with the shot glass. "It's good to talk to you again Dean."
"I can't have you getting too injured on this date doing something stupid." she teased. "I think you should tell me all about that roof story. I can trade you some equally stupid ones too."

"I figured 'Winter' - Snowflakes. Made sense." He said with a little laugh.
"Right, right, the roof story." he chuckled. "Honestly there is not all that much more to that one." He said as he settled down on the blanket, tossing a pillow between his back and the couch for added comfort. "Alright, so I went to this frat party, one of friends belonged to the frat so I was there pretty regularly at the time. I think it was around homecoming or something, I'm not really sure. Anyway, we all got wasted and somehow it turned into a game of daring each other to do something more and more stupid. 'Dude, go kiss that girl. Hey, grab that chick's butt. Jump from the dining table to the couch. Eventually it led us climbing through a bedroom window onto the roof where we were being stupid and obnoxious. This was a while ago, mind you." He added with a little chuckle. "Don't worry, I learned my lesson. While were out there we looked down and spotted the dumpster, it was open and pretty full, and someone had recently chucked an old mattress in there as well. So one thing led to another, I was dared to jump into from three stories up and my drunken mind didn't say no."
He made a wheeeee-ooooo splat noise. "I don't remember much after landing but I woke up in the hospital the next day." he laughed a little.

Valeria snacked on the chatchurie board and listened closely the story, laughing when appropriate. "Ok that's like a new level of dumb, but hey I guess that's what college was for. You definitely paid the price for that one." Valeria said with a laugh, "I went to exactly one frat party, but I went to a lot of nerd parties since my twin was a chem major and I have to say those nerds know how to party."
"I guess it's my turn" Valeria said with a chuckle. "I do stupid stuff on dares all the time, kinda the same situation, except we were all on the second floor of the parking deck, so it was like a half floor. Someone had seen some stupid video of someone doing it. I mean, I've landed on my feet off a ski lift before, I've snowboarded off but the thing about snowboards is that they're attached to your feet. I don't know how I managed to land that but I did and I was a total rockstar for about four days before I tripped on a curb and sprained my ankle. So I ended up spending the rest of the month in crutches anyways, not that crutches can slow me down that much."
"So since we do crazy stuff, how crazy do you think this whole experiment is? Pretty insane huh?"

Dean laughed at her story. "It's the worst when it's the dumb things that get us and we can't even tell a good story about you how you got hurt." He said goodnaturedly. "I hope you at least made up a cooler story when people asked." He joked.
"Yes! Wow! This thing is super crazy! I wasn't sure what I expected out of all of this but it's definitely caught me by surprise! Everything is happening so fast and just trying to take in all the information from so many different people is also overwhelming." He chuckled a little. "How are you doing with it all?" He asked.

"To be honest, really surprising and a little nerve wracking. I've literally never had this much attention before in my life and now it's all at once and there's just so many things to feel and it's a bit confusing," Valeria, pretty much all in one breath. "I guess I'm just taking it all one day at a time, not that we have that many days to do this thing."
"As much as I want to say I made up cooler stories, I'm a really bad liar," Valeria admitted. "Like I can't even lie about lying right now. I guess that's what happens when you grow up with someone that can read your mind, it's a twin thing."

"It's true, it's weird to have it all happening at one time." He said with a bit of chuckle. "It's crazy to think that it'll all be over so quickly when in some ways it also feels like it's been more than one day." He added.
He laughed about the twin thing. "Is that a real thing? Some mystical connection to your twin?" There was a pause and then a laugh. "I almost asked if you were identical or fraternal but seeing as your twin is your brother I guess that answers that question."

"Right? It's like the entire stage of dating is being crammed into one week and I have to work really hard to stay hydrated through all this talking," Valeria commented.
"I never thought I'd be connecting with this many people so quickly before, and I know I'll only leave with one or alone but I think no matter what I'll have some really cool new friends." "Oh and the twin thing is totally real, it's not like an off and on thing though, just sometimes when I'm with my twin, we just know things and it's really funny. Do you have any siblings?"

“Oh for sure, there a lot of cool people here. I can see coming out of this with a handful of new friends. But that’s great you’ve been connecting with so many people. It definitely feels a little odd...like I’m dating more than one person at time which in the real world is a huge no-no but here is not only acceptable but required.” He laughed. “It’s just a weird state of mind to get over. And to think that the girls I like are also dating other guys at the same time.” He chuckled again. “Definitely not the most comfortable thing I’ve done but I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.”
He chuckled again as she talked about her twin. “Fascinating! Ya, I have two brother. My older brother John and my younger brother Mike. We get together pretty regularly. Things get...loud when we’re all together.” He said with a fond laugh.

"I mean I guess it's fine to see multiple people before like being exclusive in the real world, but it's crazy because we're all dating like we're in a serious relationship already, it's totally scary when you really think about it!" Valeria agreed. "Well you saw the superlatives this morning right? Apparently there are people out here that think I'm wife material" she said with a laugh.
"I always did say, the louder the family gathering, the more fun it probably is, I don't understand how families can be really stiff and quiet. If you can't be yourself around your family, who else can you be yourself around?"

Dean laughed. "I did see them! Though you getting 'most fun' didn't surprise me in the least. You seem like you'd be a blast to hang out with." He told her. "I'm a little surprised you didn't also get 'most popular' considering you earned two of the others." He said with another laugh. "Looks like Parker and Blake took over just as much as you." he added.

"I'll be honest, I was pretty sure I was going to win that one, but I didn't vote for myself of course. I did vote for Parker, he's so much fun that I pranked him this morning," Valeria said with a laugh. "He took it as well as I thought he would but now I low key fear revenge."
"I'll tell you a little secret but you didn't hear it from me ok," Valeria said with a mischievous tone, "I think you and Blake were the two most gushed about guys last night. I won't tell you anything else though. I think that's part of the girl code or something. I've never had a lot of female friends, so I need a refresher on that."

"You pranked him?!" Dean asked with a laugh. "Well now you have to tell me what you did! That's amazing!" He said.
"Oh really??" He asked with a gleeful and interested tone. "Well well well, that is good to know. I'm glad I made a good impression, I didn't really think I made a connection with most of the women yesterday." He admitted though he made a little chuckle about it.
"I'm not surprised about Blake. Who wouldn't want an educated, soon to be wealthy doctor who can cook like a professional?" He asked with a little laugh.

"Yes I did! You'll have to ask him for the story because I'm pretty sure it's going to sound ten times funnier from his point of view. Just don't give him any ideas for revenge!" Valeria said with a laugh. "Mind you I'm not sure the girls over on this side are really the gush about boys types."
"Well if you noticed, I picked fondue, because that requires no cooking on my end of it, because I'm laughably bad at it." Valeria laughed at herself, "But I like to think I can make up for that with some mad skills at folding fitted sheets. I played a lot of tetris as a kid, so I can make anything fit into anything." she said proudly. "It came in handy when I had to see how many kegs I could fit into my jeep."
