__**Enduring Friendship (Colony 9 – outside Tephra Cave entrance)**__ Reyn: Every time we come here, it brings back memories. Same for you, right?\\ Shulk: Yep. We’ve been through a lot together, you and me.\\ Reyn: Oh yeah! You remember that time? You know, that one time!\\ Shulk: __[When Dunban told us off?]__ –\\ Reyn: Hold on a minute, Shulk. Be honest now. You’re remembering it wrong.\\ Shulk: I am?\\ Reyn: Well, not… wrong exactly… But that’s not the important part, man! Think harder!\\ Shulk: What do you mean?\\ Reyn: You remember why he got angry with us, right?\\ Shulk: __[Why was it again…?]__ – I… just can’t remember. Sorry.\\ Reyn: Shulk? You seriously telling me you forgot?\\ Shulk: I kinda remember… us having a fight or something?\\ Reyn: That’s the exact reason! And there’s you saying you don’t remember. She took one look at us going at it, and she burst into tears!\\ Shulk: Is that what happened? I’m still a bit fuzzy on the details. But I do know that if we hadn’t had that argument… We probably wouldn’t be friends.\\ Reyn: You can say that again. Dunban was all angry, and then you made a joke and we laughed!\\ Shulk: Oh, now I remember! Even Fiora got caught up in it. She started laughing even though she was still crying. It was great!\\ Reyn: Let’s just make sure we keep on laughing. Even when we get on each other’s nerves!\\ Shulk: Couldn’t have put it better myself. That’s what being best friends is all about!\\ Reyn: Every time we come here, it brings back memories. Same for you, right?\\ Shulk: Yep. We’ve been through a lot together, you and me.\\ Reyn: Oh yeah! You remember that time? You know, that one time!\\ Shulk: __[When Dunban told us off?]__ –\\ Reyn: Hold on a minute, Shulk. Be honest now. You’re remembering it wrong.\\ Shulk: I am?\\ Reyn: Well, not… wrong exactly… But that’s not the important part, man! Think harder!\\ Shulk: What do you mean?\\ Reyn: You remember why he got angry with us, right?\\ Shulk: __[Of course I do!]__ + You and me… We made Fiora cry!\\ Reyn: Exactly! And… wait, why was she crying again?\\ Shulk: Reyn! How can you have forgotten already? You’re the one who was reminding me! Anyway, if I think back… Weren’t we having a massive argument?\\ Reyn: Oh yeah! That was it. Not often we fight that bad.\\ Shulk: It’s rare all right. In fact… We could count the number of times we’ve fought on one finger!\\ Reyn: It kind of makes me smile, though. If it weren’t for that fight, I don’t think we’d be mates.\\ Shulk: I was thinking the same thing. It’s amazing how we think alike sometimes. I’m glad we’re friends.\\ Reyn: Me too, Shulk. Friends to the end, that’s us!\\ Reyn: Every time we come here, it brings back memories. Same for you, right?\\ Shulk: Yep. We’ve been through a lot together, you and me.\\ Reyn: Oh yeah! You remember that time? You know, that one time!\\ Shulk: __[When we had that big fight?]__ +\\ Reyn: That’s the one. It’s easily the biggest bust-up we’ve ever had. In all the years I’ve known you, nothing else has come close. Shulk: It was bad, all right. I’m just glad we made up afterwards.\\ Reyn: You know, for such a big argument… I don’t even remember what it was about.\\ Shulk: We were really young. It was probably just some silly kid thing.\\ Reyn: You’re probably right. Hey, Shulk… Do you ever think about it? Without me bringing it up, I mean.\\ Shulk: __[Nope, never.]__ – What difference does it make if I think about it or not?\\ Reyn: **What d’ya mean? Are you saying it don’t matter if we ever became friends or not?**\\ Shulk: No! That’s not what I mean at all. I’m just saying… I don’t have to think about it every day. We’re friends now, and that’s what matters. Not some silly argument.\\ Reyn: Oh, right. Now I get you. I guess it’s different for me. I’m stupid, so I just forget stuff if I don’t keep thinking about it.\\ Shulk: You say the funniest things. I bet I’m just as bad though. There are probably tons of important things I’ve forgotten.\\ Reyn: Maybe, maybe not. The point is, we got everything off our chests back then. And now we hardly ever argue. Pretty great, huh?\\ Shulk: And even if we do have another fight, I know we’ll survive it. We’ll be true friends forever. At least, that’s what I’m hoping.\\ Reyn: Me too, man. Me too.\\ Reyn: Every time we come here, it brings back memories. Same for you, right?\\ Shulk: Yep. We’ve been through a lot together, you and me.\\ Reyn: Oh yeah! You remember that time? You know, that one time!\\ Shulk: __[When we had that big fight?]__ +\\ Reyn: That’s the one. It’s easily the biggest bust-up we’ve ever had. In all the years I’ve known you, nothing else has come close.\\ Shulk: It was bad, all right. I’m just glad we made up afterwards.\\ Reyn: You know, for such a big argument… I don’t even remember what it was about.\\ Shulk: We were really young. It was probably just some silly kid thing.\\ Reyn: You’re probably right. Hey, Shulk… Do you ever think about it? Without me bringing it up, I mean.\\ Shulk: __[Of course.]__ + I think about it sometimes. If we’d never had that argument, I don’t think we’d be friends now.\\ Reyn: That’s just what I was thinking! We must have said some pretty harsh things to each other… But it was worth it, right? It’s why we’re such good mates now!\\ Shulk: Yeah, it was definitely worth it. You know, it’s funny how we think alike sometimes. I’d have figured you were still angry.\\ Reyn: Nah, not anymore. But you did get on my nerves a bit back then. You were just too clever, man. It got under my skin.\\ Shulk: And I thought you were just this big, dumb brute. Hey, I guess that’s what we were arguing about.\\ Reyn: Yeah, that sounds about right. But after all that fighting, we came out stronger. And we learnt about each other.\\ Shulk: You know, I don’t say this enough. Thanks, Reyn. I couldn’t ask for a better friend.\\ Reyn: No problem, Shulk. And remember, you don’t have to hold back. You can call me a big, dumb brute anytime you like. I’ll take it on the chin!
