[There are sounds of fumbling and muffled voices for a moment before the sound becomes clearer.]
--fred give it back! Geeze, don't worry I'm fine. This mission is important and I'm confident we can do this, I'm good.
[The SC is set down on a table with a clack! The hand covering the lens is removed, bringing Yoko and Alfred into view. ...They don't appear to have noticed that Al accidentally switched the SC on.]
Yoko! This is serious business here! I need to give you a briefing! A briefing! Although you've been here a while, I'm like 100% sure you're still not used to the many wondrous and mysteriously different ways of this world compared to your own!
[Yoko gives him a weird look. She crosses her arms under her chest and is quiet for a moment.]
What are you talking about? We're all new to this world. I think I'm briefed enough.
[America places a hand on each of Yoko's shoulders.] No, no no no! There are just some things Shibusen is unable to teach you about! Like nintendo... or... uhm... uhm... baseball.... or... the dangers of flirting- or ice cream!
What are those things?
--- wait flirting?! [She pushes him away now and is blushing dark red as she glare at him.]
Just what are you saying Alfred Jones?
...Y- you seriously don't know what baseb-...? [Momentary look of horror.]
I mean! [Looks serious now.] Yoko. I think you need to be very careful from now on! There are a lot of serious sexual predators out there lately....
[The look on her face says it all. She looks at him with an unamused look, her hands on her hips now.]
..........sexual...predators? I'm a grown woman Al, I can handle myself just fine.
You see! You don't even know what a sexual predator is! I have to worry so much about you!
[Rolls her eyes.]
I know what it is Alfred. But why do I have to worry? I can defend myself.
[shakes head srsly] Nope. You need anti-France lessons! He's very clever and romantic! You'll never see it coming! One moment, you'll be saying "hi" to him, and the next-! And you can't let that smooth talking Kida recruit you either ...unless he gives you the lead female role and I get that 50% he promised.
[Looks rather shocked]
France? You're the one who told him about me! Now he flirts with me constantly!
Ahahaha! Yeah, France is a great guy and Kida is so going places. Just give him a few years. [nods]
Er-
I mean. [
[She sighs.]
Al, I'm fine. France and Kida are harmless and as far as I can tell I'm in no danger.
...[sighs too. Okay okay. He gives.]
Sorry. Sorry. I just worry since I'm so much more experienced than you, you know? I have to protect you! It's my duty as your partner!
[...feels guilty and decides to give him a hug.]
Its ok, You don’t have to worry! We’re partners.
[hugs back, resting his chin on Yoko's shoulder]
Yeah. And I can't help it if, sometimes I worry. You know. Since you're a virgin and all. It's just how partners are.... [why, yes. This DOES make complete sense to him]
I know…but being a virgin isn’t that big of a deal. There are other things to worry about Al.
[She pulls away and goes over to the SC to pick it up. Yoko sees the light on and her face goes white for a moment before turning bright red.]
...Alfred. [Shes oddly calm.]
......why---did you turn on my CAMERA!?!?![She yells now and looks rather furious as she clicks off the PDA.]
What? No way! LOL, when did that happe-
