100!
"There we are; just 100 more to start my day off right! Everyone knows the healthiest way to start your day is to work on your two-step, then have a high fiber breakfast! Oh I can taste that sweet oatmeal already! Today is an important day for me, after all!" | |
"Why, good morning, Jeffrey! You seem awfully excited today; what happened?" | |
"OH MY! Why, if it isn't my good friend, Mister Sun! Good morning! I'm going on an adventure today! Do you want to join me?" | |
"Why, you know I always can, Jeffrey! I'm in the sky! I'm always going to be with you!" | |
"Oh fiddlesticks; of course you're right, Mister Sun. How could I forget that?! It must be the butterflies in my stomach! I'm ever so nervous for my first day! I wonder if everyone will be nice..." | |
"I don't know, Jeffrey, but I do know this; as long as you are kind to others and treat people with respect, you should make friends in no time. Not everyone is going to be a nice person like me. Just try and relax, and get to know your new friends." | |
"Hmm...Maybe you're right, Mister Sun. This Byron fellow strikes me as a particular pretzel-bender. I mean, a 'Sin Eater?' What would that even mean?" | |
"Hmm...maybe he wants to eat your favorite tasty desert!" | |
"He also likes angel food cake! Wonderful! Maybe I should bring him some before we tussle!" | |
"Tussle? Jeffrey, where exactly is this adventure of yours taking you to where you have to tussle? It sounds dangerous." | |
"Why, its Action Wrestling, of course! Never fear, Mister Sun; I wouldn't do anything I knew would be too dangerous. No, we aren't really going to tussle. It is a bit of sport, my old friend! Have you heard of wrestling, Mister Sun?" | |
"Why no, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me anyway. You always did let your mouth get ahead of you, after all!" | |
"Look, it was one time, Mister Sun! Besides, how was I supposed to know that Madam Moon was listening to us?!" | |
"Anyway, wrestling is a noble art, a true test of strength, skill, and athletic aptitude. Usually, you're up against another person in the ring, sometimes even more than one! Think of the friends you could make through the spirit of competition!" | |
"And if you are truly the best, you earn the right to compete for the highest prize; the world title! Oh, think of it, Mister Sun; thousands of fans applauding as I make my way down to the ring, golden belt draped across my shoulder, with all my friends and family cheering me on while I go tussle with another friend...Ahh, that is the life for me, Mister Sun. And it all starts with this tussle with Byron." | |
"I see...well, I always like to see my friends chase their dreams, but just be careful, Jeffrey. It could be dangerous, being around a place like that." | |
"Dangerous? Hmm...I wonder if I should try and be friends with Byron instead of just beating him. He certainly looks like a rough customer, and the gal at his side could also hold her own..." | |
"Now Jeffrey, what have I told you about making friends with strangers right away?" | |
"I know, I know; get to know them first. But how else am I supposed to make friends here if I'm too much of a coward? That doesn't seem-" | |
"Now Jeffrey, you need to listen and listen well. All I can do is watch over you and give you your daily dose of sunshine and happiness. I can't protect you from people who want to harm you. Byron is very much that kind of person. You need to be an excellent judge of character, and from what I can tell, those two spell trouble with a capital T. So sure, try and be friends with them if you can, but also remember that friendship is a give and take; don't just make friends with someone because of what they look like. They need to care about you too, you know." | |
"Hmm...maybe you're right, Mister Sun. Okay! I guess all I have to do is give this zib what for and take the egg! I need to make a good first impression, and show everyone that I'm a rough customer! No shying away from this competition! Now, if you'll excuse me, Mister Sun, I'm going to work on my push-ups! | |
"...Uhh...A little help, please?" | |
"...This is going to be a looooong run." |
