[Today, the NV turns on as the girl on the screen is walking down the produce aisle of a grocery store, though she's not necessarily looking to buy anything.]

It's been a while since I was here! I don't usually go shopping or anything like that, but I thought it would be good if I tried to get a job again since it's the summer. I don't want to just sit around, after all!

[She smiles, before something to the side catches her eye - there's a fly sitting on an apple. Alarmed, she reaches for the piece of fruit, pulling it out of the middle of the pile where it had been resting. Of course, this sends the apple just above it falling down, and when she reaches over with her other hand to grab it, she slips. The hand that had been going for the falling apple instead hits the pile as she tries to save herself from falling, but all this really accomplishes is sending a good amount of the apples onto the ground.]

Oh, oh, jeez, I didn't mean to—

[From behind, there's a gasp from an onlooker, and she casts a worried glance behind her, starting to run before promptly tripping over a fallen apple. Muffled laughter can be heard before she picks herself up, sprinting down the aisle before she thinks to turn the NV off.]

[It's all so ridiculous he can't really help but laugh. She... does realize he's not being serious, right? ... Oh, wait, it's Ahiru. Of course she doesn't.

[Oh look a subject change.]

Ballet? You dance?

[She knows; it's taken over a year and a half, but she is slowly forming her very own sense of humor. :')]

Oh, sort of! I'm not that good yet, but I'm trying my very hardest.

[LOL keep up the good work, Ahiru XD]

Hey, that's all that counts, I say. Dancing ain't really an exact science, after all.

That's true! I just gotta keep practicing.

You know what they say about practice making perfect. I dunno that I like that idea so much, though. If you manage perfect then what's left to try for, yah?

I don't think there's really such thing as perfect. I mean, you can get really good, but different people have different opinions about what's perfect!

I guess that's true, too. Well, either way, if it's something you like doing you should keep doing it, even if you do get really good at it. That's why I continue to nap as often as possible.

I guess that must be a pretty big passion of yours, huh?

Napping? Yup, it's my favorite hobby. I thought about going pro, but there's really not much of a market for it, unfortunately. I could'a been one heck of a contender.

In bet there'd be no good competition on the entire island!

Roxas is pretty good at napping, actually. For that matter, so is Sora. [But... those were kind of special circumstances.] Well, either way, I doubt the competition would be very exciting to watch, so it's prolly a safe bet we won't see it in any triathlons in the near future.

I don't know, I bet it would be pretty funny to watch if you started snoring or drooling!

Hey, hey, now. I don't drool. And I only snore when I'm sick, thank you very much.

[He's visibly trying not to laugh, though.]

[She giggles, grinning.]

A likely story indeed!

Hey, hey, we haven't known each other long enough for you to be giving me a hard time yet...

You just said you were going to put me inside a hamster ball!

That was for your own protection! I was trying to look out for you! Sheesh, no one appreciates the efforts I go to.

[Now he's just.... giving you a hard time, Ahiru. XD]

You just wanna make fun of me.

[But it's clear from her tone that she isn't really bothered.]

Hey, if I get a little amusement out of it that's just a perk.

[And then, because she's the most mature person there ever was, she sticks her tongue out at him.]
