Leia
You take a pair of buses to get to the edge of the city, then walk the last bit towards a large plain at the base of a mountain. You find Zack waiting for you at a small rest area. Other than that, the place is wide-open and empty, other than a smattering of small trees in the distance.
"Hey," he says.

Leia waves at him and seems to inhale as much fresh air as possible.
"This is nice and quiet... I might come here more often..."
She drops her backpack. Two rackets are sticking out from it. The handle is a bit longer than a tennis racket. She hands one to Zack and takes out a tube of what they call "fliers".
"You don't seem to know what Badminton is... I didn't know it was obscure... So I'll explain. It's a bit like Tennis, but way different at the same time. I guess it's more about agility than power. The fliers we have here is what we use instead of tennis balls. The other rules are pretty similar to Tennis. Flier needs to pass over the net, if it touches the ground on your side, the opponent has a point. You'll see that the fliers are higher in the sky than tennis balls, so you move a lot more on the terrain than for tennis. Anyway... We have no net, so we can just ty to have the biggest exchange possible.
Oh... And serving is different, but I'll only show you if want to try Badminton..."

"Fine, I'll try your game." You take a few minutes to show Zack the finer points. He struggles to get the hang of things, but he's giving it his all.

"Hum... You don't seem to be enjoying this... Is there anything else you want to do?"

Leia
"I'm not not enjoying it, I just don't get it!" Zack snaps. "We're going to keep going!"
He seems annoyed how much trouble he's having getting this.

"Hum... We can play this in double like Tennis. What do you say we play as a team against two other person? We'd just need a gymnasium. Of course, I'm talking about doing that another time, not right now."
Leia tries to help Zack so they trade as much as possible.

Leia
"I don't need you to go easy on me!" Zack insists. He seems more and more annoyed.

Leia starts to panick, not knowing what to do, which results in a mix of really easy shots to extremely hard to hit trick shots, with nothing in-between.

Zack starts to panic, desperately trying to hit things back.
After playing for some time, you start to get a bit tired.
"Ugh... Dammit! Well, it's better than you taking it easy on me."

"I... I didn't even make it easy on myself...
Ca... Can I even walk home?"
Leia sits down, trying to take a breather. She starts massaging her legs.

"Get up!" Zack snaps at you. "Just flopping down after a workout is just going to make it worse! You can rest on the bus ride home. The walk to the bus stop will be a good cooldown. Come on." He starts walking off.

"Oh... Oh... Sorry... Yes... Using my legs more will relax them... Ho... How does that work... A... Anyway... You know more about our body than I do..."
Leia will start walking to join Zack.
"Wai... Wait... Why does that work?"

"I don't know, it's just... science, OK? Basic sports medicine or whatever it's called," Zack says. "Anyone who's serious about sports knows you need to give your muscles a chance to... um... something... lactate acid or whatever it's called."
He clearly doesn't know the science behind it.

Zack
"Yeah, I guess..." Zack says. "Come on, suck it up and keep moving."
Zack makes sure you get to the bus OK. Even if he's kind of an ass, at least he's not a total ass.
Zack and Leia reached Relationship rank 3!
By the time you get back to town, it's time to decide what to do for the afternoon.
