Lyric: HOME SWEET HOME!!

Sora: *yawn* Oh yeah... You lived here...

Lyric: Sure did! And I can't wait to show Joker around the place! I'm sure he'll love it!

Sora: So, where to first?

Lyric: Good question... Well, why don't we start at my home?! It shouldn't be that long a walk.

Sora: Well, okay then. I suppose it can't hurt.

Lyric: This way!

Lyric leads Sora around Castelia City, shopping, eating Casteliacones, and other Unovan delicacies they could get their hands on, until they finally arrived at Lyric's old home.

Lyric: We live in this penthouse suite! Ever since I started giving my parents some of my money, they've upgraded their living conditions to live here!

Sora: How much do you make?

Lyric: Um... I dunno. I haven't stopped to count. I just know it's a lot.

Sora: The life of a contest star...

Lyric: Yeah.

Lyric rings the doorbell as his parents answers rather quickly.

Mother: Oh my! Riley!? I had no idea you were coming to visit!

Lyric: Heheheh! Hi mom.

Sora: Riley?

Lyric: Huh? Yeah, that's my real name. Riley Lee. Bit of a tongue twister. Anyway, Sora, this is my mom, Lady. Mom, this is Sora. He's my travel buddy!

Lady: Oh my, come in. I'm sure your father will be ecstatic to see you. You too, dear.

Lyric: Okay! Come on in, Sora.

Sora: Thank you for having me...

The two step inside as Lyric takes off his shoes, and putting them to the side of the door. Sora did the same.

Lady: Honey! Riley is visiting!

Father: Ah, my boy!

Lyric's father comes out to greet his son with a hug, as Lyric returned it happily.

Lyric: Daddy, this is Sora. He's my travel buddy. Sora, this is my daddy, Curtis.

Sora: Nice to meet you.

Curtis: Well, it's nice to meet you. I hope our son isn't getting you into trouble.

Lyric: Daddy...!?

Sora: Oh, no, not at all. In fact, he's been nothing but a bundle of sunshine for me.

Lyric: Sora...?!

Curtis: That's wonderful to hear. Oh, Riley, is Amber doing okay?

Lyric: Mhm! He's never been better! I couldn't ask for a better partner!

Amber: Woof!

Lady: That's wonderful. We're so proud of you, dear. You're dream is coming true right in front of your eyes.

Lyric: Yeah. But it's not over just yet. I still have one thing to do.

Curtis: Oh...? Are you still not satisfied?

Lyric: Well, I would be lying if I said I wasn't. But since I'm here, I might as well aim for the top!

Lady: You remind me of your father. He used to aim to be Champion himself.

Lyric: Really daddy?

Curtis: That was a long time ago. Now I'm more than content with living with your mother.
