**Riki:** Fiora so clever! Fiora understand Riki’s talking and feeling!

**Fiora: *[I like the way you speak.]*** When I hear you talk, I get a nice warm feeling inside. Maybe it’s magic?!

**Riki:** Really? Hmm... Riki not know why, but Nopon not usually magic.

**Fiora:** Hahaha. That’s OK, Riki. Not every question needs an answer. All I mean is... I wouldn’t change a thing about you.

**Fiora: *[It must just be coincidence.]*** I just happened to be thinking the same thing you were. That’s all.

**Riki:** You sort of know what Riki mean though. If Reyn here, he only complain. He say, ‘Too cold!’ or ‘Too hot!’

**Fiora:** Yeah, that sounds like him. But Reyn has his good points too. If you look hard enough.

**Riki:** Riki know them! Reyn always protect friends’ backs! When Shulk in danger, Reyn first on scene. Kapow!

**Fiora:** Something like that. And he kept the promise he made to me. You can always trust him.

**Riki:** What Reyn promise Fiora? Tell Riki, tell Riki! Not fair to keep secret.

**Fiora:** Secret! Yes, just the word I was thinking of. It’s a secret. It’s just between me, Reyn and Shulk. I can’t tell you I’m afraid.

**Riki:** Not fair, not fair! Riki one of the gang now!

**Fiora:** Sorry, Riki. You can pout all you want. Come on, let’s get back. Playtime is over.

**Riki:** Grrrr. Fiora not good friend. Always teasing Riki. Fiora? Fiora! Don’t leave Riki! Wait for Riki!

**Fiora: *[I envy you, Riki.]*** I love being in nature too. But it doesn’t make all my problems go away.

**Riki:** Why Fiora not smile? Fiora should smile! Smile and laugh! Park is nice. Park make Riki happy. Also make Fiora happy!

**Fiora:** It’s not that simple, Riki. Sometimes even things I like don’t make me happy.

**Riki:** Yippee! Fiora and Riki go now! Riki know Fiora will be overjollyed!

**Fiora:** I’m sure it will be lovely, Riki.

**Riki:** What’s wrong, Fiora? Fiora’s smile upside down.

**Fiora:** Don’t worry. It’s nothing. I just wish I could learn to share your love of nature.

**Riki:** Fiora not learn! Fiora feeeeeelll. Then Fiora know the true joy of living in the wild.
