[The video starts. You see a wall.

Kaoru had turned the guide away from himself for a moment, not wanting to anyone to see him in tears.

How could it be that he was back here? Did this really have to happen again? He was home, back where he wanted to be, only to be brought here again?!He was aware of what had happened. He was sure of it. Strange

Kaoru!

[Look at you! If crap could be ranked as holy people would have to get over the whole smelly, dirty, and lumpy attributes, but hey that's not much different than most of the reigning champs back home, so..., now is definitely an appropriate to say Holy Crap!]

You big meanie, you scared me!

[thesubsequent]

S'mores?! There will probably be other commoner goods too, right? Right?

[This is SO exciting!]

[whosyour_rikku]

Well, there's gonna be stuff of the grilled variety, if that's what you mean.

[Maybe commoner is used like all the time like slang where they're from...]

[thesubsequent]

Yay, grilled things! This is going to be great!

[Throws arms up!!]

[whosyour_rikku]

Mmhm, we can grill anything you want! Don't think it can be grilled? Psh, rejected! 'cause I'll totally prove 'em wrong!

And games, too, there's gonna be tons of games! Just between you and me, I haven't heard of, like, any of them. But they don't need to know that.

Games! I wonder if some of them will be games I learned to play in America!

[whosyour_rikku]

Probably! What games did you learn to play?

You went to America? You said before you were from Japan, right? What was it like? In America, I mean.

[thesubsequent]

Coconut bowling, sand darts, water bucket racing!

Yeah, I'm from Japan. I lived in America for a little while! It was different than I expected. Hikaru and I made assumptions about what we thought it'd be like, but some cities are just like home! And we got to learn a lot of American slang! Word!

[whosyour_rikku]

By coconut bowling, you don't mean collecting coconuts and rolling 'em at Tidus when he's not looking to give 'im the jumps, d'yah?

What were you expecting when you went?

[thesubsequent]

Coconut bowling as in rolling coconuts and bottles filled with sand!

[Chuckles!]

Well, Hikaru and I expected the city we went to to be a countryside, but we were wrong!

[whosyour_rikku]

Oh, that sounds fun! Sure, we can play that, too!

Ooooh, what was it actually like?

[thesubsequent]

It was the opposite! Tall buildings and things to do everywhere! I'm glad we went there!

[whosyour_rikku]

I can tell you had nothing but fun~

[thesubsequent]

Yeah...

[And now he's back here, and he's trying to tell himself that this isn't a bad thing. But it still hurts more than he wants it to.]

I've returned with more life experience! Yay!

[whosyour_rikku]

And you wear your two years well, Bud.

[thesubsequent]

It's because I got better looking, isn't it~?
