=== Fogado & Yunaka === --- C --- [Fogado] Hey, Yunaka! I'm headed to a party right now. You wanna come along? [Yunaka] Party? Why? [Fogado] Ah, not feeling it, huh? [Fogado] You're always in such high spirits, I thought you'd be game. [Fogado] But hey, no worries. I'll see you when I have some other business. Take care. [Fogado] [Yunaka] ... [Yunaka] He came at me so fast I forgot to put my act on! [Yunaka] I better fix this fast. He'll expose the real me if I don't. [Yunaka] Heeey! Fogaaado! [Fogado] What's up? [Yunaka] Zappy! I was totally yanking your bowstring. I love raucous carousing in enclosed spaces! [Fogado] You sure you're not forcing yourself? [Yunaka] Don't be ridiculous! Parties are fun! I love fun! [Yunaka] Take me to the parties. Every single one. All of them! [Fogado] Ahh, so I had you pegged right. Good. Knew we'd get along. [Fogado] In that case, come on! Let's head to the party! [Fogado] Play hard or don't play at all, am I right? [Yunaka] Dang right! Hehe...heh... --- B --- [Fogado] Hey, I'm sorry for dragging you to that party. I didn't realize it wasn't your kind of thing. [Yunaka] No, that's on me. I'm sorry for running off like that in the middle of all the fun. [Yunaka] The truth is, I... I'm not comfortable in crowds. [Yunaka] Surrounded on all sides like that, you never know who might be out for blood. [Fogado] Wait. Did I hear that right? [Yunaka] Um...probably not? Forget it. Not important. [Yunaka] I'm just anxious around people, is the thing. [Fogado] Seems like there's some baggage there... Anyway... [Fogado] I promise not to drag you along like that again. I'm sorry you had a bad time. [Yunaka] No, no. Don't worry about it. Thanks, though. [Fogado] Heh. [Fogado] Tell me something. What do you think of me? [Yunaka] Of you? Well, let's see... [Yunaka] I think you're someone who wants to make every day as fun as it can be. [Yunaka] I envy that about you, to be honest. [Fogado] If you want some of these good vibes... try showing people a little trust. [Yunaka] Trust? [Fogado] Some folks are real pieces of work, no doubt. [Fogado] But if you always keep your walls up, you might miss out on making new friends. [Yunaka] Are you saying that's the trick to enjoying life the way you do? [Fogado] That's exactly what I'm saying. [Yunaka] Thanks for the pep talk, Fogado. [Yunaka] I'm going to take it to heart. I'm going to try to start trusting people more. --- A --- [Yunaka] Fogado! Hi! Hey! [Fogado] Hey, Yunaka! You've got a real spring in your step today. [Yunaka] I do! And it's all thanks to your advice. I've been going out of my way to show folks some trust. [Yunaka] It's amazing how quickly they've warmed up. I've been having so much fun! Great trick! [Fogado] Huh, so that's what's going on. [Fogado] You make it sound like people are acting different, but actually, they're the same as ever. [Yunaka] What? No way. Wait, really? [Fogado] Yeah. Most folks are basically good. You just didn't give them a chance before. [Yunaka] So you're saying it was...me who changed. [Fogado] Yup. Honestly, it's a remarkable turnaround. [Yunaka] Do you know what this means, Fogado?! [Yunaka] I've unlocked the secret to having a nice time! Every day's gonna be an adventure now. [Fogado] Well then, how about it? Does the new and improved Yunaka want to go to a party? [Yunaka] Ah, well...about that. I'm still pretty uncomfortable with crowds. [Yunaka] I can choose to trust people, but it's a lot harder to control an instinctive reaction. [Yunaka] I still feel like a party could be fun, though! [Yunaka] So, how about this. We'll say getting me to go to parties is...something to work on. [Yunaka] I want to get past my fear of people. I want to enjoy life the way you do. [Fogado] At this rate, I'm sure you'll be out-partying me in no time at all. [Fogado] But we'll take it step by step. How about today, you and I go out for a meal? [Fogado] We'll start small. A nice, quiet place with not too many people. [Yunaka] Oh, that's perfect! I like the way you think! [Yunaka] Someday we'll be at some fancy ball or other and we'll look back on this and laugh! Ohoho! [Fogado] Whoa, whoa! Who let the party animal out of her cage? [Yunaka] Zappy! You know it's all your fault! --- S ---
