I know a lot of people have been here for a long time. Like, a lot longer than I have, and I've almost been here a whole year now.

But how many of you have, you know...gone home and come back? I don't mean like, leave for real, exactly. I mean like...you go to sleep out of nowhere and then wake up back here again a couple days later. If that happened to you, did it feel like...well, real, or did it feel more like a really convincing dream?

I never really thought all that much about it until recently, so I just wanna know what you guys have to say about it.

That's the thing, though. I don't think I ever really left. Apparently, I just...fell over outside. Joker said Envy found me and got me into his house.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

He... did?

Jimmy, what do you remember? What happened back home? Maybe that'll explain something.

[awesmazings]

A whole lot of stuff! I got to pilot an airplane, I was on a game show, I learned how to whistle, I spent a whole day on an island with Lucy, I got to play soccer with one of the biggest players in all of Miseryville...oh man, I wish you coulda seen it all!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Well, some of those do sound pretty awesome! Learning to whistle, though...?]

That sounds awesome! Maybe I will get so see it someday, that must have been a lot of fun.

[She's not jealous, what are you talking about.]

Are you... sad that you're here again?

[awesmazings]

[He learned the hard way that people missing teeth (particularly front ones) cannot, in fact, whistle.]

It really was, yeah.

And...well, no. I mean, I miss home...but I'm glad I came back, too. I think I'd miss my friends here and my Pokemon just as much, yaknow?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

...Yeah, I understand.

[For the first time in a while, she actually does.]

Well, it's great that you're back, Jimmy. I'm sure everyone would have felt bad if you really left for good.

[That is... also her way of saying that she missed him. And was worried.

So there.]

[awesmazings]

Haha, I'd hope so. I hate that I worried anyone, but I guess there's not much I can do about it now.

I hope you've been doing okay while I was out.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Me? Oh, uh, I've been just fine! I'm preparing for a job right now, actually.

[awesmazings]

Wooah, a job? What kind of job?

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Honeyed Soul! Botan gave me the job, so I work there now!

[awesmazings]

Oh man, that's cool! I'll hafta come by and visit sometime!

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Yeah! It's pretty cool... I've never had a job before, except for working with my sister. You should come by, I can get you a free sample or something!

[She's not technically allowed to do that, but SSSHHH]

[awesmazings]

That'd be great! Botan was telling me about her shop before, so I've been wanting to go visit sometime anyways.

[COME ON, WHAT'S A COOKIE BETWEEN FRIENDS.]
