Nimbus: She’s here and we’re friends now, but obviously she won’t be here forever. I’m just helping her get back on her feet. Otherwise, I’m just the fifth wheel again between all of you guys, just like always. 

Maze: Aw, come on, Nim. You’ll find your person.

Nimbus: I guess. Whatever. Go make your phone call and please don’t let me run into them again, if you can help it.

[simside]

Nimbus: You’re a little bit ridiculous.

Maze: Not ridiculous, just care about getting my old friends back. Besides - maybe if I apologize for leading Summer on soon, which I didn’t even realize I was doing, Summer and Basil will figure themselves out and end up together sooner rather than later, since they’re so fond of each other’s company all of a sudden.

Nimbus: And leave me as the odd one out again, per usual? Sure.

Maze: Oh, come on. Not anymore, right? You have Athena.

[simside]

Nimbus: They seemed perfectly fine with eachother’s company, actually. They were hanging out; Basil was pushing Summer on the swing. They were laughing and having a grand old time. You would’ve never been able to guess they weren’t close when we were kids.

Maze: Hm. I’m glad for them. I almost wonder if we could be close again. 

[simside]

Nimbus: And you didn’t tell me they’d be there when you saw me get my stuff together to go to the park for some reading and fresh air?

Maze: Truthfully, I hoped maybe you’d run into them. It’d do you some good to talk, wouldn’t it?

Nimbus: Don’t you have some talking to do as well? Not like you’ve exactly been chummy around Summer, either.

Maze: No, but the fact that they invited me has told me I’ve got a phone call to make and a conversation to schedule with Summer, I’d think. I’ve been talking about it with Primrose and she thinks so, too. Don’t you think you’d like to stop avoiding them eventually?

[simside]

Nimbus: You’ll never believe who I saw just now at the park. I was reading, and-

Maze: And, let me guess, you saw Basil and Summer?

Nimbus: Well, um, yeah? How did you know?

Maze: Basil told me they’d be there and he invited me. Told me to invite you as well. I was busy so, well, I didn’t go.

[simside]

Nimbus: Oh, no way. Is that..? I better get out of here before they spot me. So much for enjoying a day at the park. Those are the last people I’d like to run into right now.

[simside]

Athena: I would be lying if I did not say I am a tad excited. Humans are so peculiar.

Nimbus: Yeah, yeah. Now get in there and fill out an application to work so you can get started. If we’re lucky, you can start sooner rather than later and we can get you back closer to home before the summer is over.

[simside]

Athena: What did you say this was called again?

Nimbus: A grocery store. We don’t just eat kelp and fish like you guys, so this is where we come to buy different things to eat. They sell stuff besides food, but that’s the main purpose.

Athena: Ah, so kind of like a market.

Nimbus: Exactly! People here have jobs to make money so that they can buy things, like stuff from the grocery store, clothes, tickets to shows, and other things. This is how we’re going to start saving for your plane ticket to Isla.
