"Rosaleeen!"
"Yes, Nick?"
"I'm booored...!"
*gasps*
"Talking to me is boring to you?"
"No way! Work is what's boring; it's the culprit of my boredom."
"Uh huh..."
"You're a super fun person to talk to."
"I think you're a super fun person to talk to too."
"You think?"
"I know."
"Remember, Rosaleen: think and know are two powerful words that can alter a whole sentence."
"Geez, you sound like my English teacher. I don't need a reminder of today's awful class..."
"Awful?! What happened? Your teacher didn't upset you, right? Did your classmates hurt you in any way?"
"If someone lays their finger on you, I'm going to teleport over to your school and destroy that person."
*laughs*
"I'm serious."
"I know. If you could, you wouldn't hesitate to. Thank you, Nick. I'll do the same for you too."
"Well... try to. I'm really weak. These arms and legs are limp like ramen."
"I wouldn't mind if a limp ramen came and save me."
*laughs*
"Seriously though... is anybody hurting you in any way?"
"Not at all. It was just a bad day because we had to do popcorn reading, which is always hard for me since reading out loud to the class is not something I'm comfortable with."
"Popcorn reading? I'm guessing it doesn't involve some yummy popcorn, huh."
"I wish. If it did, maybe I wouldn't mind it so much."
*sighs in relief*
"I'm glad that's the reason why your day was awful. I mean, I'm not happy because you were suffering, of course. In fact, I'm proud of you for making through today."
"That accomplishment calls for some sushi, don't you think?"
"Definitely. One Tamago Roll, please."
"Yolkay! Eggscellent choice. Now I can make these egg puns."
"Egg puns crack me up. Really, all your puns do."
"You're learning well, my apprentice."
