"This is the place we first met, remember?
You…you…you…..you were standing over there; admiring that painting while Ruby and I came from over there. Then your dad was standing there and asked me if I thought the paintings were lovely."
"I said, 'Yes'; as I stared right at you. Then Ruby said, Darius, are you sure you're talking about the painting?
Go over there and introduce yourself.
Then I...."
"Scared me."
"What?"
"You scared me half to death, and then I told you to never do it again."
"Guess I did scare you, didn't I? Forgot about that.
Sorry."
"It's ok.
Times have changed.......You......you have changed.
You no longer look like the Daredevil pilot."
"The Darevil pi…..oh…Haaa!!! Yeah. I guess I'm not anymore."
"So, what are you when you're not flying Bumper cars through the evening sky?"
"I....*Scratch….scratch...scratch...…..I don't know, to be honest.
Never felt like I belonged anywhere."
"Well, you belong here......and...…and...…..you can stay here.
I know I am only supposed to do this for Royals, or painters, but I'm sure friends are always an exception.
Stay right there. I'll be right back."
"I'm not going to go anywhere."
