Olivia:
248... 249... 250! Phew, that's all of 'em! ...Still a long way to go, though.

Robin:
What are you doing, Olivia?

Olivia:
EEEEEEEEEK!

Robin:
Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to startle you.

Olivia:
Oh. It's okay, Robin. I just didn't see you there.

Robin:
Um, so if you don't mind me asking, what's in the bag there?

Olivia:
Hm? Bag? What bag? Ooooooh, THIS bag! Er, it's nothing really. Just a few coins...

Robin:
Keeping a secret stash, are you?

Olivia:
It's money I've been saving out of my wages, I'll have you know! Sheesh. "Secret stash" indeed. You make it sound so sinister.

Robin:
I'm sorry. I certainly didn't mean to imply anything untoward. I'm just impressed is all. It takes real dedication to save on a soldier's pay.

Olivia:
Oh! Thank you, Robin. Such praise means quite a lot coming from you...

Robin:
It does? Huh. I've never thought of myself as anything spec—

Olivia:
Aaaaaaaaanyway, I've got to run. I'm on mess duty tonight. You know what they say, right? A hungry Shepherd is a big jerk!

Robin:
Is that what they say? I had no idea. ...Ah! Olivia, wait! You dropped your secret stash!

Olivia:
Will you PLEASE stop calling it that?! You make it sound like I stole it or something. People will get suspicious!

Robin:
Well, whatever you want to call it, you're losing it as we speak! Look at all the coins rolling down the hill!

Olivia:
ARRRGH! Why do coins have to be so darn round!

Robin:
So, Olivia. How goes the saving?

Olivia:
Pah-fectly whell, my good lay-dee! Now be a dear and fetch me some cav-iah?

Robin:
Um, are you all right?

Olivia:
Of course! I found a book that teaches how to talk like a noble, so I'm practicing.

Robin:
Oh. I thought maybe a bee had stung your tongue...

Olivia:
I did NOT sound like that! ...Or did I? Oh, gods, I DID! This stupid book is useless. Do you realize I've been talking like that all day? Gods, how embarrassing!

Robin:
Oh, it wasn't as bad as all that. Just unexpected is all. I'm sure if you keep practicing you'll get the hang of it.

Olivia:
You really think so?!

Robin:
Er...sure. But listen, I wanted to ask something: What are you saving up for?

Olivia:
You mean my big bag of loot? ...I want to build a theater.

Robin:
A theater? You mean, with a stage and stands and seats and everything?

Olivia:
YES! And fly lofts and trapdoors and a huge proscenium arch! A place where people from all walks of life can experience the wonder of dance.

Robin:
When you say dance, are you referring to YOUR dancing?

Olivia:
Well...kinda, yeah. Why? Does that sound egotistical? Because I—

Robin:
Wonderful! I'll be first in line when it opens!

Olivia:
Why, thank you, Robin. How kind of you!

Robin:
But building a theater is quite an undertaking. It'd cost a fair bit of coin.

Olivia:
I know, I know. I suppose it's all a bit of a pipe dream...

Robin:
Say, I have an idea. Why don't we join forces and construct it ourselves?!

Olivia:
Oh, gosh, no! I don't even know which way to point a hammer.

Robin:
Well, I might not look it, but I know a thing or two about carpentry. Come on, it'll be fun!

Olivia:
Okaaay, but...you really think we can pull this off ourselves?

A Support

Robin:
Phew! Finished at last!

Olivia:
We did it. I still find it hard to believe, but we actually did it.

Robin:
What do you think? Do you like it?

Olivia:
It's...it's even more beautiful than I imagined! *sniff*

Robin:
Good! It's nice to know all that work wasn't in vain.

Olivia:
...There's just that one teeeeeeny-tiny issue with the size.

Robin:
...Ah.

Olivia:
It's going to be difficult to dance in a theater that fits in the palm of my hand. ...Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Robin:
Yes, but the perfect venue for a flea circus!

Olivia:
I don't want a flea circus!

Robin:
Heh, I know. In any case, as small as it is, it's still a theater that WE built. Now that we know how it's done, it should be a simple matter to scale everything up.

Olivia:
You think so?

Robin:
Absolutely! Always have a plan, I say.

Olivia:
Well, if you think so, then I believe it! Besides, working with you is so much fun, it hardly feels like work at all. So, only...what? A few more decades? And we'll build a fabulous, human-size theater! ...Hmm. You sure it wouldn't just be easier to save up my money?

Robin:
Now, now! You promised not to talk about that again, remember?

Olivia:
Oh, right. Sorry. Well, I have a new, special dance I made to celebrate our new performance space! Would you... Um, would you like to see it? I mean, if you're busy, that's fine...

Robin:
I can always make the time to watch one of your dances!

Olivia:
Hee hee! Okay. I might be a bit rusty, but I'll do my best. I've been saving this for when the new theater was ready...

Robin:
Ah, this IS fun, isn't it? The only thing better than having a dream, is making it come true with a friend!

Olivia:
Thanks, Robin. I couldn't do it without you.
