You know goodbyes aren't forever...

[barkin-charlie]

It’s breathtaking.

I have to agree, my view from here is, pretty beautiful.

[barkin-charlie]

What?! No! That’s impossible!

Nothing's impossible, dear. But seriously, fifty big ones.

[barkin-charlie]

Four of a kind! You lose, buddy. That's fifty bucks.

[safest-corner]

[barkin-charlie]

Well, thank you. You’re a pretty good teacher.

You have natural rhythm, unusual for a first timer. Wouldn't you agree, everything is so lovely here?

[barkin-charlie]

I bet you say that to all the girls.

You think I see many girls? Well, none that are worth a dance.

You're somethin' special.

[barkin-charlie]

You sure? I can call my sister if you really want to dance. I bet she wouldn’t even step on your toes! I’m just a hassle.

Hey, now princess, let's not beat ourselves up. You're doing amazing!

[barkin-charlie]

Okay. *stares at their feet* Just follow your feet…I can do this…

*Goes slowly, trying not to get nervous* You're doing great, princess, don't sweat it.

[barkin-charlie]

Oh dear. Okay, okay, but you have to promise to not laugh at me!

Of course I wont. I bet you're great. *Pulls you close* Just follow my feet.

[barkin-charlie]

I…don’t…really…dance. My sister does! I usually prefer to watch from the sidelines.

*Takes your hands* C'mon, let me teach you to dance, too.

[barkin-charlie]

Should I also bring things? I’ve never gone up there so I’m not entirely sure what would need to be brought.

Bring anything that'd make you happy. Food, blankets, fireworks. Anything you like.  Tell me, do you like to dance?

[ellasfrozenfractals]

That…that sounds wonderful. Thank you.

[barkin-charlie]

Great, it's a date! I'll bring some pillows, encase the grass is wet. 

[barkin-charlie]

I’ve seen them but I’ve never gone out of my way to really look at them, I’ve never really had the time. Why?

You see up there, on that hill? I've been watching the stars for the past couple of nights. Would you care to join me? There's so many empty houses round here, there isn't much pollution. 

[barkin-charlie]

Really? I hadn’t picked up on that.

Of course you hadn't! I'm a modest guy. Anyway, you ever seen the stars around here?

[barkin-charlie]

That would be highly impractical and also very impressive.

and you know I love to impress, princess.

[barkin-charlie]

Oh no. I recall being told that you’d treat me to a couple hundred. I refuse to buy my own steaks until you fulfill your promise!

What if I give you them...all at once?

[barkin-charlie]

Well know that I’ve been sworn to secrecy, I promise, mum’s the word.

No, no, no, no. Charlie's the word. Let's not bring mums into this. We'll start with the card tricks, then we'll move up as you start raking it in. Soon, you can buy your own steaks!
