"Come on, Kodkod. Coast is clear. Ready to take the leap with me?"
"Evening kind sir. How much is a ride to Upfront?"
"Upfront? That place has been torn down for years...…my King?"
"Shh. Please? I'll pay anything."
"If you're meeting someone there, why not take your Coach?"
"She…..uh...she doesn't know I'm coming. Don't want to spook her off, you know?"
"Ohhhh....Ohhhhh!!! Ohhhh, I see.
Take her back to the place where it all began, so that you can show you've changed.
Might I enquire, who is this fair lady?"
"I'll answer all your questions in a minute. Just let me go back and grab some change out of my coat.
By the way, thank you for this."
"Not a problem."
"You have no idea how much you are helping me out. I didn't want to go see her, but then my Advisor persuaded me to go out, and do it not for me, but for my daughter.
Hell, I don't even know what to say to her when I see her again."
"I'm sure you'll think of something."
"Don't know about that. Last time we talked, it....didn't end like I hoped. Kinda got ruined by a third wheel tag along, and she still blames me for it."
"Just tell her you're sorry, and that tonight, there will be no third wheel."
"That's why I want to take her to the place where it all began."
"To tell her you've changed."
"And to to show her how far I've come fom that day."
"What day?"
"The day we first me…..what the? What's this doing in here?"
"First met?
Long distance relationship?
I mean, if this is the first time you're meeting, and you want to keep it out of the public eye, then I guess.
I'm honored to bring you two together."
"Here's your fair.
How fast do you think we can get there?"
"Ah. Don't want to keep her waiting, I see."
"......She's waited long enough."
"Tai, if I may. As your driver on this super top secret…..personal mission. Can I at least know the name of the girl you are attempting to see?"
"She...…she's not from around here."
"Sir, I've been everywhere. I'm certain I would know."
"She's before your time."
"If you say so. Strap on, and enjoy the ride; but I will have to warn you. The roads are very….."
*Bump*
"What the? Whose cat is in the middle of the road?"
"That's.....not a cat."
*Zroom….zrooomm…..vrooom*
"And I take it, that's not a girl, either?"
"Ruby?"
".....Hello, Tai.
It's been awhile."
