MISSION 004 | really better off working retail? | [video]

[imposibletostop]

[The high life of a teenager working a zoo souvenir stand.]

[And Kim looks utterly bored.]

Anyone happen to know if there's a cheerleading squad somewhere onboard this ship? I kindof miss having something fun to do after school. Would definitely help with keeping me in practice. [With what exactly? Wouldn't you like to know...]

[whosyour_rikku]

You're a cheerleader?

[imposibletostop]

Uh-huh. Former captain of the Middleton High cheer squad to be precise.

[whosyour_rikku]

Wow, captain?

[imposibletostop]

That's right. Wasn't easy, but I had the support from my squad.

Well, most of my squad at least.

[whosyour_rikku]

Were there some bad seeds or something in your squad back home?

[imposibletostop]

You could say that...

['Bad seed' is a compliment in Bonnie's case.]

[whosyour_rikku]

Well I bet you were able to show 'em all up with your skills, yeah? Teach 'em who the boss is by ability alone?

[imposibletostop]

Pretty much, even though having the time for the responsibility was more the issue.

[whosyour_rikku]

[Has no clue about school responsibilities or typical after-school chores that would keep her from being captain.] What sorta things problemized it?

[imposibletostop]

Oh you know, keeping up with my grades, saving the world every week or so, hanging out with my friends; that sort of stuff. [Yes, so very typical.]

[whosyour_rikku]

[Rikku's eyes widen a little bit; you mean she wasn't the only one who was licensed by a franchise to be able to balance both friends and simultaneously save the world on a day-to-day basis? Crazy.]

Kim... I'm proud to say you're my kinda girl!

[imposibletostop]

[Even more crazy is that they're both tied to the Mouse somehow.]

Oh really? What's having you claim this now?

[whosyour_rikku]

I just think we've got more in common than I thought.

-Uh, way before, I mean. Like before I thought we had stuff in commonbefore.

[imposibletostop]

You're kindof going around in circles there Rikku. [This is coming from someone who hangs out with other cheerleaders a lot.]

What do you mean by that?

[whosyour_rikku]

Um-

[Yeah, you know it's clearly bad when not even Rikku can make out what she said. She's trying to reply it in her head but it's just sort of spiraling and confusing her.]

-I meant that I think we've got a lot in common.
