Since Amber was trying to recover from the red ant bites she had before, and that someone she knows did so to her, I decided to make a phone call to the mascots instead. Really, I'm a bit pityful on her, and I am a bit sorry for laughing at her suffering, for she sent me an angry emoji message on Messenger...
Left Side: Sarah (you know me!)
Right Side: Mirai
Right Side (in italics): Somie
(ring ring!)
Hello, guys! You remember me?
Oh, Sarah-chan! Happy you called! Moshi moshi!
Happy to hear you, Sarah. It's been a long time since I heard you.
How did things go? Did Amber gets herself, well, "sporty"? Is she okay?
She isn't, Sarah. She was still under trauma after we sent her to the Takoyama Stables too early in the morning. But Japanese like us always wake up when the dawn glows.
Wait a sec - Takoyama Stables? How come... Oh, I get it. Amber just doesn't want to tell me the names of the places where she is.
How did you know that she didn't said so?
You knew?
She told us. After all, we knew a lot about her.
I'll tell you one time of how did she gets herself tangled in the ribbon I gave her-
Heard it from her. I have my sources.
Oh. I think you did.
At least you know how to identify me, but I just gonna say it simply for confidential purposes.
Have you ever been here to Japan?
Nope. Na-dah. Never went there. Still stuck in San Diego, you tell me.
Oh, yeah! I get it now; Amber must have been friends with you a long time! No wonder she sent some e-mails and letters to you.
And I heard that you live there in America.
Correctamundo.
What?
I meant "correct". In your language, "hai".
Ohh...
Yeah, after all, Miraitowa and I were happy to hear that an American girl like you had been contacting the both of us through the telephone.
(Japanese chatter)
Oh, Sarah! Sorry. Mind if you put the phone on hold? Someity and I have some matters to discuss.
Good thing, for I'm hungry anyway. Missed lunch already.
(phone on hold)
