Start part A

Zack: They don't?

Mofu: No, they'd always argue... They wouldn't agree on anything.

Zack: Wow...

Mofu: Yes... Anyway, what about Akiko?

Zack: Well, I saw her like two days ago. She seems fine.

Mofu: That's good... I wonder if she's meeting people...

Zack: Who's there to meet?

Mofu: Ha! This city is empty, isn't it?

Zack: It's a ghost town...

Mofu: Wouldn't you know...

...

Mofu: Awkward...

Zack: It wasn't until you brought it up.

...

Mofu: Hey...

Zack: Hm?

Mofu: You and that girl... You a thing?

Zack: What? No way.

Mofu: Why not? You like her, don't you?

Zack: As a friend!

Mofu: Oh? Well, I'll have you know that she was very worried about you.

Zack: She was...?

Mofu: Yes, very.

Zack: Oh... When?

Mofu: When you lost the bottom of your jaw.

Zack: She was?

Mofu: She was puking and everything.

Zack: Well, sh-

Mofu: Has a weak stomach, I know.

Zack: Oh...

Mofu: But surely you feel something for her.

...

Zack: Nope.

Mofu: Heartless!

Mofu downs another bottle.

Zack: I like her company...

Mofu: That's something...

...

Mofu: I'm staying.

Zack: What?! Go home!

Mofu: Nope... Thanks for sharing!

Mofu scrambles towards Zacks bed.

Zack: Hey! Go home!!!

Start part B

Meanwhile, in Ashley's apartment...

Ashley lies back in the warm bath water.

Ashley: Finally... Peace... So much happened today...

She hears Zack yelling next door.

Ashley: Sounds fun... I want bubbles...

SQUEAK!!!

Ashley: What the...?

Ashley hears a squeak coming from the living room. She gets out of the bath and wraps a towel around herself. She walks into the living room and sees a squirrel.

...

*Running*

Ashley: Ahhh!!! Zack!!!

Ashley runs into Zack's apartment and jumps in his arms.

Ashley: Squirrel! There's a squirrel in my apartment!!!

Zack: O-okay just wa-

THUD!!!

Zack and Ashley fall on the floor.

Zack: Ouch... Are you okay?

Ashley: Yeah... Sorry...

Zack: It's fine... Anyway, there's a squirrel?

Ashley: Yes!

Zack: What do you want me to do about it?

Ashley: Make it leave or something!

Zack: Okay... Give me a minute.

Ashley: Okay...

Ashley walks back to her apartment and sees the squirrel on her couch.

Ashley: Ew...

???: Rude.

...

Ashley: Zack! It talked! It talked!

???: What's her problem...?Must be a human thing.

A few minutes later...

Zack: He won't leave...

Ashley: There it is!!!

Zack looks at the squirrel.

Zack: It's real.

Ashley: Of course it is!!!
