"So, I was thinking...let's journey through this world, Mr. Kobi."

Kobi chuckled, which Tina suspected to be sarcastic. "That strangely sounds romantic, creepy, and stupid. Tell me, kid, just how to do you expect us to travel this world? We neither have a ship nor a boat."

Tina showed him a confident grin. "Fear not! I have experience with traveling, as I've been traveling this world since I can remember."

Kobi gave her a skeptic look. "Uh-huh, sure."

"No, really!" She sighed. "Since I woke up in the middle of a desert, I was resilient to track down my lost memories. I just...I just wanna know who I was, and what my name is."

"Desert, eh? Then, you must be a Arabian or something? An Egyptian?"

Tina crossed her arms. "Do I look like an Arabian to you? And that's racist!"

"Says a racist herself. Look, I'm not a smart person - "

"I've guessed that already."

"You brat - "

The endless banter continued on.

"Okay, I'm gonna join you in that travel of yours, but I can't just leave the tree."

"I've already got that covered!"

Tina threw a gadget towards him. "Oh, flashy stuff. This is?"

"It's a high-tech mini portal. You can see your house, and you can enter it anytime. So don't worry about this shack!" Tina grinned.

Kobi scratched the back of his head and sighed. "Alright then. I'll join you. There's no limit to entering this, right?"

Tina shrugged. "Maybe? I guess there isn't!"

Kobi gave her a skeptic look again. "Okay, I don't like that answer."

The little girl groaned and threw a little tantrum. "Ahhh! Why are you so hard to convince?! No one's going to set your house on fire! I just wanna go around the world with you, Mr. Kobi!" She says while kicking the floor with her heel and hitting the floor with her fist simultaneously.

Kobi thought that she was exactly like a typical child. She must be only 12. Wait, we're six years apart?...that's...weird. Whatever.

She didn't stop kicking, so Kobi sighed and groaned. "Ugh, quit it! Fine, I'll go with you! Just shut your little mouth, you brat!"
