Guys, guys! Guess what? My birthday is in two days! I'm going to be fourteen soon!  [ he is positively beaming with excitement. ] Actually, I think it's been over a year since my last birthday, 'cause of Johto time being different from back home, but it'll be official on the 25th.

It'd be nice to get together and do something fun, but... I'm in

[now for your regularly scheduled brain breaking.]

You know, you really aren't going to be a whole year older when you think about it. When you wake up that day, you'll only be a day older than you would have been the previous day. Really, measuring age in years is a bit obsolete.. don't you think it'd make more sense to measure them in days, or hours.. seconds, even?

[attrites]

Oh, I guess that's true... I never really thought about it like that!

... I think I would lose track of the seconds really quickly, though.

[yaaaaaawn]

Hm.. True. It would still be a more accurate way to measure someone's age.

[Then again, it would just make her seem even older than she already is..]

You look a lot older than thirte-- Well, fourteen, though.

[attrites]

Well... years is what usually matters anyways, right? Like, you have to be a certain number of years to get your license... a certain number of years to enter school... that kind of thing.

[ ... ] You think so? I guess I am pretty tall...

[usedtsunspore]

It's not.

[ Fourteen, thirteen....what's the difference, really? A year isn't much at all. ]

[ voice ]

[attrites]

Well... how old are you?

[ voice ]

[usedtsunspore]

...41.

[ Smirking, like this is a big joke. ]

[ voice ]

[attrites]

Seriously...? But you don't seem 41.

[restardom]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeh?! Akaya-kun, you've gotta give me a little more warning than that!

[ oh god oh god now she needs to go shopping RIGHT NOW. ]

[attrites]

Ahaha... sorry 'bout that! But, you know, I didn't know when your birthday was coming, either, so I guess that makes us even?

[video]

[restardom]

But you didn't know me as well then!

[video]

[attrites]

Oh, that's true! ... Anyways, you don't have to do anything special for my birthday, so don't worry about it too much.

[attrites]

Well, now you know!

... When's your birthday, by the way? I don't think I know that.

[attrites]

Oh, so you guys were born almost exactly a year apart, huh?

... But wait. Doesn't February only go to 28?

[tensaizenzai]

It's really not that big a deal.

[video]

[attrites]

It's a big deal to me.

[tensaizenzai]

Nothing changes between thirteen and fourteen.

[attrites]

Sure it does! You move up a grade, for one.
