Yeah, yeah! And there's only one of them and it's me, so it's not like a lot of people get the chance! It's really an exclusive kind of deal..!

[ Ego boosting practically comes without thinking when she speaks, don't mind that. ]

I must be really lucky then. Maybe it's my brother's luck that rubbed off on me or something.

[ Hey, he is lucky, if he's got a god and goddess for siblings. ]

It must be true..! [ a gasp. ]

Then you can be my good luck charm! We got to keep this kind of stuff in the family!

Yeah, it'd be the pits if we let that kinda luck slip away, right?

Exactly! I won't ever let go of it, now I've found my blue bird of happiness I'm locking it up inside a shiny golden cage forever..!

Just make sure you take good care of it in that golden cage of yours.

W-wait, does the blue bird of happiness need any kind of special care?! It's different than other birds?

I'm not too sure. I mean, I'd kinda think so? It's special, right?

It's true that it's one of a kind, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to give it that kind of special treatment just yet..! I.. imagine if I'd accidentally let it die, I bet that gives a thousand years of horrible bad luck!

That sounds about right. I mean, they're probably not exactly common, yeah?

But I don't want to be stuck with bad luck for that long! That'd mean I'll never find true love..!

D'you think that having bad luck means you wouldn't find love? Maybe it'd just be really rough on you.

No, it definitely means not finding love! Not finding love is the worst kind of bad luck you can get, after all..! It cuts right into your soul!

D'you think? I actually never thought about it too much.

I worry about it all the time..! Ah, just thinking about it is enough to make my heart feel like it's been pierced!

Wow, that sounds painful. And kinda problematic, yeah?

Of course it's problematic! I need that to love!

... And to live, I guess.

Yeah, it's pretty important for that. I mean, last I checked, anyway.

O-.. oh no! Does that mean I'm dying now?! I.. I'm..

[ She lets out an exaggerated gurgle, gripping her heart and sinking to her knees way too overly dramatically. ]

[ Kneeling down beside her and holding up two fingers. ] Can you still see how many fingers I'm holding up?

Fi.. ve.. three-- p.. pineapple...

[ Dramatic last words, right. Then she just lets herself fall flat on the ground with a huge sigh..

... And after a moment or two of lying there she peeks her eyes open again. ]

Convincing, right?!

Yeah, definitely. I was pretty confused about the pineapple though. Might've been a little too much.

[ He's nothing if not honest. ]

But it's a classic!

[ She raises her head a little off the ground, but with the rest of her body just still lying there it just looks comical. ]

It's supposed to mean I'm so far gone I can't even think straight anymore! [ As if she can to begin with. ]

Okay, I gotcha. [ He nods, like he's Really Thinking about this. ] Mostly it just makes me think of pizza though.

Why would pineapple make you think of pizza?! [ says the girl who associates pineapples with death scenes, apparently. ]
