2 ✫ [not so accidental video]

[Hit by two Data Streams back to back. Yoko is really hoping there's no third time for the charm here. Finally, it was time for proper rest and relaxation. Fanbeemon made it home first, and when the video clicks on, he's just hiding it from view as Yoko comes in and flops on the bed.]

No more Data Streams for awhile, okay city? Okay. [Groaning and moaning, this doesn't make for very good Candid Camera, now did it?]

Tired already? Geeze, don't tell me living in the city's made you soft, girl without a home?

Believe it or not you stupid bug, but endlessly wandering from point to point isn't exactly my first choice. [Her response, though indignant, quickly fell back into exhaustion and introspection.] But, maybe you're a little right. I probably shouldn't get too comfortable. Maybe I do need to get out of this place from time to time.

[Her mind kept going back to the beach for some reason...with those two...]

Boyfriend...huh... [The mumble was barely audible. Clearly something was bugging her about that word. When a certain someone came to mind, Yoko immediately sprung upright.] Hng! Like hell I'd want that hard-headed idiot here!

[Now this is what he was after. Good television.] Awww Yoko. You're so tsun it hurts.

What was that? I thought I just heard something annoying a moment ago. [Point made Fanbeemon.]

Come on, you can talk to me about it. You have my solemn vow to secrecy. [Those watching would like to beg to differ.]

I'd rather take it to the grave.

Your words wound me.

It's not like anything would change if I complained about it. I'd still be stuck here with you instead of back home with him- [Oh shit. Wrong word. Wrong word.]

Him~? [And Yoko was on the defensive now.]

-Ah! Ah, them! I meant them! With Team Dai Gurren! Y'know, my friends and companions and... [Oh this was too much, Fanbeemon couldn't hold back the laughter any more.] Hey- why are you snickering? [Suspicious, Yoko began eying the room until she noticed something out of place.] Is that my...? [Click.] Don't tell me you've been...the whole time... [Click click click]

[And finally a pindrop.]

YOU ARE DEAD!

[She threw a pillow right at Fanbeemon, hitting the D-Terminal instead. Sorry folks at home, you just have to imagine what happens next.]

[Shepard is smiling, a touch mischievously.]

Somebody you miss?

[crap. crap. crap. crap. crap.]

WhatnoIhavenoideawhatyou'retalkingaoutheyniceweatherwe'rehavinghuh? [Teenage girl to English translation: What no I have no idea what you're talking about. Hey nice weather we're having huh? In other words, she's deflecting hard.]

[Alright, that pushed her right over into laughing.]

Yoko. Yoko, calm down. Breathe.

I'm breathing perfectly fine. Everything is completely and totally fine. [Lying but hey she slowed down.]

So I'm guessing crush, not boyfriend, then?

M-me? A crush? No way! I have a lot more important things to worry about than that moron. [Wait for it.] I MEAN- [She is not helping herself in any way.]

Hey, there, roomie. It is great to see you're fine ...

Y-yeah, I'm fine. See? Totally fine. [Please don't mention anything in that video. Please don't mention anything in that video.]

Sooo ....

[ And here it comes. ]

Tell me more about your boyfriend, Yoko-chan~

[Shite]

W-wait wait wait. Hold on a second. I don't have a boyfriend. Nope. You must be hearing things. [Fanbeemon you are deader than dead.]

Oh, no you don't. I have perfect hearing if you must know.

Who is he? Is he cute?

[Why her?]

No really, I have no idea what you are talking about. Besides 'cute' isn't the word I would use- [wait for it] -NOWAITFORGETISAIDTHAT!

[ Oho!--- So there is someone. This is getting better and better. ]

Is that so? Handsome? Good-looking? Then maybe ... HOT?

[Bright red. Dammit Rise you're making Fanbeemon laugh up a storm here you're not helping.]

So hey how have you been doing? We haven't hung out in awhile have we? [Change the subject change the subject]

[ A ... hug. She could use that right now. She was still quite hurt by Wally's disappearance. ]

I'm ... fine. [ Lies. ] Or at least for now. What a month, huh?

[Hugs are good. Hugs mean we don't have to talk about that other thing so we're off to a good start.]

You're telling me. I'm just waiting for the next weird thing to happen. [Because let's face it, it always happens.] Are you sure you're okay?

Of course I'm fine! [ Laughing. ]

Who do you think you are talking to?

A roommate who likes trying to get into my problems, that's for sure. [Blunt.] If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine with me, but try not to let it bother you for too long. You never know what this place is going to be throwing at you.

[ Guilt-tripping. No fair, Yoko. Rise quietens and actually thinks about it. She smiles sadly and decided to tell her. ]

My boyfriend disappeared ... just ... suddenly ...

[All's fair here Rise. But, y'know, now she feels a little guilty for getting it out of her.]

Wow, I'm...really sorry to hear that.

...Hawkmon's done that to me before.

[Record her without her knowledge, she means.]

Very rude, right?

[Already points for not mentioning what's on the video.]

'Rude' is the lightest way I would put it. Honestly I shouldn't be surprised the stupid bug didn't pull this off sooner. [He's an asshole like that.]

Hawkmon caught me dancing and singing one day. And then posted it so that everyone could see it.

[It's a touchy subject for the other girl, she's sure. There's no way she'd bring it up first.]

I locked myself up in my room after that.

[Another singer huh? Doesn't really seem that big of deal to lock yourself in your room over, but different people different problems.]

Don't remember seeing that video. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

[It was embarrassing! That's plenty of reason to lock herself in her room.]

It...It happened before you got here. And it's fine, now. I guess. I just--I wasn't expecting him to do that, so...

[Oops wasn't expecting those kinds of emotions. She's more used to violent reactions.]

Hey uh- you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. That really was a lousy thing to do. Some peo- well...however you want to address it, they're just jerks like that.

[Marley is very likely one of the least violent people here. Next to Fluttershy, of course. She's just a normal, high school girl...]

No it's...I'm fine, really. I'm sorry. I can laugh about it now.

[Meet your polar opposite then.]

That's good. [Half worried you were gonna bust out the tears on her.] That you can laugh it off now I mean. It would take me much longer to get over something like that.

...Really? Why?

[Honestly curious here. No judging involved!]

Huh, I never thought of the 'why' before...I guess I'm just that kind of girl? Maybe? [She has to think to be judgemental of herself.]

Oh? It almost sounds like a girl I know back home. Santana? But she's...a bit more verbally harsh than physically, I think.

Well...maybe I wouldn't go as far as 'harsh.' [Even though she is an more but ahaha now she's just making herself look bad.]

Oh! Oh my god, I really didn't mean it like that! I just meant she's...she's more prone to slinging insults than actually getting physical, at least from what I've seen!

[Marley, sweetie, choose your words more carefully next time.]

[Two teenage girls getting flustered over their own words. News at 11.]

Well...I guess everyone has their own way of reacting.

[And again at 6.]

...Yeah. Yeah, that's true. It'd be pretty boring if we were all the same, right?

[Ahh, crap, emotional things ... Garrus isn't exactly good at this. Give him a gun, he'll hit damn near any target and make it look easy, but if you just ask him to talk to someone ... well, it might not go so well. Given his track record, he'd only probably make things worse.

[But ... he should probably do something, shouldn't he?]

So ... [He awkwardly scratches the back of his neck.] I take it there's someone you miss from home.

[Shit]

[The one person she didn't want to see this video was now putting his input in. Meaning he watched it.]

[Fanbeemon why do you hate her so much?]

What? No of course not. Okay I'm a little bit homesick, but that doesn't mean I miss anyone specific. Nope, not a one.

Right. [Spirits above she has a terrible poker face.] Well, I'm not going to push if you don't want to talk about it, but, ah ... if you ever decide you want to, you, ah, ... you know where to find me.

Thanks uh- [She is so not good at this stuff it's very obvious.] But really, I'm fine. I don't need to...or anything...
