Here goes!
[Fade in/out.]
Ruby
Eek! Aw man, I messed up again!
Nico
That sucks. Scooping goldfish is pretty hard, huh?
Ruby
Excuse me? Could I have another scoop, please?
Nico
Seriously? C'mon, don't you think it's time you threw in the towel?
Ruby
No way. I'm not gonna let it end like this. I'm gonna catch a fish today if it's the last thing I do!
Nico
Wow, I hardly ever see you getting this serious. What's got you so worked up?
Ruby
When I was little, Dia scooped a goldfish for me.
Ruby
So I promised that one day, when I was older, I was gonna scoop one for her too.
Ruby
And I'm older now, so I've gotta do it!
Nico
So you're trying to fulfill a promise with your sister… Well, I'm definitely not gonna get in the way of that. You've got my support, so you better scoop that fish!
Ruby
Yeah! Deep breaths… Here goes! I'm gonna do my Rubesty!
Ruby
Eep! Oh, I did it… I did it! I scooped a fish!
Nico
I knew you could do it if you put your mind to it!
Ruby
Thank you, Nico! It's all because you were watching over me!
Nico
Oh, please. You managed this all on your own!
Ruby
Oh, it's Dia! Dia!
Nico
*Giggle* And there she goes.
Nico
I can't help but feel like I've gotta look after her. I wonder if I'll feel that way about Cocoro, Cocoa, and Cotaro when they grow up too?

Nico
Ugh, those yukatas are so cute! Why didn't I wear one too?!

Ruby
Here you go, sis! Sorry to keep you waiting so long, but this is my present to you. I hope you'll accept!
