## Script

Expand for script.

* I snuck back to the camera unit. When I left again, I had a small portable camera in my hand.
* After thinking about it, I also left a note for Kiro's agent.
* **Slip**: Kiro has been found. Don't worry. Just leave the show to us.
* If we were followed by a group of staff, even in bear costume, Kiro would be recognized in a second...
* And if the agent or director knew Kiro was out alone with one camera girl...
* **Agent**: No way! What if anything happens? I'd rather not do the show then let Kiro take the risk!
* **Director Young**: All shot on one portable camera? How would that look?! No, no, no. End of discussion.
* **MC**: I could picture exactly what they would say.
* **MC**: So under the circumstances, we were forced to act covertly.
* **MC**: Sorry, agent. Sorry, Director Young. Sorry, assistant producers...
* **MC**: I promise I will help Kiro finish shooting the show.
* With a camera in hand, I reappeared on the square with a big bear.
* **MC**: Kiro's Project X rides again!
* I hit the record button.
* Kiro, in his bear costume, started talking very earnestly to camera.
* **Kiro**: Now, it's 2:30 in the afternoon. We only have 2 hours left.
* **Kiro**: I have no more funds, and I still have no idea what kind of cotton candy that grandma wants...
* **Kiro**: However, I have my secret weapon.
* Kiro clumsily fumbled a candy out of his pocket with his bear paws.
* Behind the camera, I watched him like I was watching a reality show. It was so funny.
* **Kiro**: The Magic candy of Invinci-Bear. Eat it and you'll become as smart as me! Only one in the whole world!
* **Little Girl**: Mr. Bear. I... I want it.
* With his "Magic Candy", Kiro successfully traded for a pack of cookies from the girl.
* **Kiro**: The Magic Cookies of Invinci-Bear. Get smart just by eating them.
* **MC**: (Quietly teasing) Can't you use another line...
* **Little Boy**: I want it! Give me those cookies and I'll give you my rubber ball!
* It's really working...
* **Kiro**: Bear's Magic Ball. With it, you can--
* Before Kiro got to finish, a little dog jumped into the frame and took the ball away.
* **Kiro**: Ahh! My magic ball!
* Kiro screeched and lumbered after the dog.
* I tried to keep up, getting the epic chase of a dog and a costume bear all on film.
* **Kiro**: Not so fast!
* Compared to the awkward bear, the little dog looked much more nimble.
* **MC**: It's gone into the alley. I'll go outflank it!
* **Kiro**: Ho-ho, you're cornered now!
* **Puppy**: Grr-- grr... Arf, arf, arf!
* I thought it would be a death struggle, but instead, the pup just dropped the ball and ran off.
* **Kiro**: Phew... Wonderful...
* Kiro took off the bear head, panting heavily. He carefully cleaned off the ball and smiled at me.
* His brow was glistening with beads of sweat, and his matted hair stuck to his face.
* There's no stylist here to spruce him up, but he still looks so cute on camera...
* **MC**: (Panting) Yeah, or else you'd have nothing to make your comeback with.
* Finally... Starting from one piece of candy, Kiro managed to trade his way up to a stick of cotton candy.
* **MC**: How did you come up with this ?
* **Kiro**: Because I am smart and awesome of course!
* Kiro lifted his bear head up and aired his face.
* **MC**: You're sweating so profusely.
* **Kiro**: Well, it's a bit stuffy in here. Let me take a break...
* I took out a handkerchief and dabbed the sweat off his brow.
* **Old Man Selling Candy**: You look like you worked so hard. Here, have another on the house.
* **MC**: Really?
* **Old Man Selling Candy**: Yeah, take it. My grandson loves these little plastic figurines. I should be thanking you.
* **Kiro**: Wow, we've got two cotton candies. Above and beyond the call of duty!
* **MC**: Mhmm, haha.
* **Kiro**: Try some. This cotton candy is so good.
* **MC**: Don't you want some?
* **Kiro**: I already ate so much of it today... way more than what my agent allows.
* I hesitatingly took the cotton candy from him and took a bite.
* **Kiro**: Good, huh?
* **MC**: Mmm! So delicious!
* **Kiro**: I knew you would like it!
* The old man looked at us, shaking his head and smiling. We seemed to remind him of some happy memory.
* Blue skies, a cute bear, and the taste of cotton candy.
* This will definitely become one of my happiest memories.
