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!

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.

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!
