"Paula, is that you?" Ness spoke, inching himself closer to the telephone.
"Yes, it's me. How are you?"
"U-um... er... gine?"
"Gine? What's 'gine'?"
"Uh, oh crap... um, I-I mean, fine! I'm fine! Perfectly dandy!" Ness fake-laughed.
"Good, good," Paula responded in a dead-pan voice.
Awkward silence...
"So, uh... Why exactly are you calling me now?"
"You heard the news about Onett and Twoson merging, right?"
"Yeah, I just told my mom about it."
"That's tomorrow."
"What?! I thought it'd be in like a week, not 24 hours!"
"Yeah, so... I just thought we could organise like a meet-up with Jeff and Poo, too."
"Really? That'd be awesome! How about I call Jeff and you call Poo?"
"Then, it's decided! See you tomorrow!"
"See ya!"
The call ended. Ness had to process what had just happened for a moment... He squealed joyfully.
"Wow, looks like someone's in a good mood," Tracy chuckled, "What happened? Did Paula ask you out?"
"Huh? No! I get to talk to my friends again! Remember Jeff and Poo?"
"Haha, Poo..."
"Come on, that joke is staler than ancient bread from Scaraba!"
Tracy full-on roared with laughter like a goddamn motorcycle.
"Okay, okay. My joke wasn't even funny this time!"
"Ho-hold up! I've gotta tell that joke to Picky!"
Tracy runs out the door.
"Now, let me just... uh, oh wait..." Ness scanned his shorts' pockets, "I don't have his number! Eh, I guess I'll just teleport."
Ness ran outside. The viridian, lush grass contrasted with the cerulean, cloudless sky in a way that was kind of beautiful. While he wanted to look at the view of his city forever, he knew that he had to get to Jeff soon.
"PK Teleport Beta!" he yelled.
His body spun in a tornado-like circle and launched itself to the north-east!
