Olivia:
288... 249... 250! Phew, that's all of 'em! ...Still a long way to
go, though.
Avatar:
What are you doing, Olivia?
Olivia:
EEEEEEEEEK!
Avatar:
Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to startle you.
Olivia:
Oh. It's okay, Avatar. I just didn't see you there.
Avatar:
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...
Avatar:
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.
Avatar:
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, Avatar. Such praise means quite a lot coming from
you...
Avatar:
It does? Huh. I've never thought of myself as anything spec-
Olivia:
Aaaaaaaaanyway, I've got to run. I'm on mess duy tonight. You know
what they say, right? A hungry Shepherd is a big jerk!
Avatar:
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!
Avatar:
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!

So, Olivia. How goes the saving?
Olivia:
Pah-fectly whell, my good mahn! Now be a dear and fetch me some
cav-iah?
Avatar:
Um, are you all right?
Olivia:
Of course! I found a book that teaches how to talk like a noble, so
I'm practicing.
Avatar:
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!
Avatar:
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?!
Avatar:
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.
Avatar:
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.
Avatar:
When you say dance, are you referring to YOUR dancing?
Olivia:
Well...kinda, yeah. Why? Does that sound egotistical? Because I-
Avatar:
Wonderful! I'll be first in line when it opens!
Olivia:
Why, thank you, Avatar. How kind of you!
Avatar:
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...
Avatar:
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.
Avatar:
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?

Avatar:
...Phew! Finished at last!
Olivia:
We did it. I still find it hard to believe, but we actually did it.
Avatar:
What do you think? Do you like it?
Olivia:
It's...it's even more beautiful than I imagined! *sniff*
Avatar:
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.
Avatar:
...Ah.
Olivia:
It's going to be difficult to dance in a theater that fits in the
plam of my hand. ...Not that I'm complaining or anything.
Avatar:
Yes, but the perfect venue for a flea circus!
Olivia:
I don't want a flea circus!
Avatar:
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?
Avatar:
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?
Avatar:
Now, now! You promised to 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...
Avatar:
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...
Avatar:
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, Avatar. I couldn't do it without you.

Olivia:
*Siiiiiigh*
Avatar:
What's the matter, Olivia? That's your third sigh in as many
minutes.
Olivia:
I've had a lot of expenses recently... I haven't saved so much as a
copper. At this rate, I'll be a wizened old granny by the time my
theater is built. I think it's about time I gave up this silly
dream...
Avatar:
You can't! You've already rehearsed your opening-night performance!
Olivia:
I'm sorry to let you down, Avatar. I appreciate all the help.
Really, I do.
Avatar:
Oh no, you aren't getting rid of me that easily! If we work
together, we can make this dream come true.
Olivia:
I don't know... Maybe it's all too much... I don't want our
friendship to suffer over my silly little theater.
Avatar:
...What if we weren't friends?
Olivia:
What?! But...
Avatar:
What I mean is...what if we pursued your dream...as husband and
wife?
Olivia:
Avatar?!
Avatar:
Olivia, what I want to say is...I love you. ...Will you marry me?
Olivia:
Oh! You even brought a ring and...*sniff* Oh, Avatar. I don't care
if I get that theater or not... So long as I'm with you.
Avatar:
But I care! Now put that ring on and grab a hammer!
Olivia:
Hee hee! Maybe we can use the theater for our reception.
Avatar:
Heh ha, what a great idea! We'll have a cake, and music, and dancing
into the night!
Olivia:
Oh! And those little bears that balance on wheels! Let's get them,
too! Guess I better start saving again!
(Confession Voice Clip: I've been in love with you forever. I only
wish i had the courage to tell you sooner.)
