Hey, Ai? You and Rina sure are close, aren't you? You were also the one who invited her to join our club.

Rinari and I have been great friends ever since she came to watch my puntastic show.

Really? So that means Rina's known you for a long time now, right?

*Giggle* I stopped her as she was walking past and got her to watch my show! We've been having lunch and stuff together ever since.

[Fade in/out.]

And that's what happened! I really laughed my butt off!

So funny.

Right?! Psshaha… Oh no, just thinking back to it is making me laugh again!

Sounds like fun. How nice.

Hm? You wanna come too? How about on our next day off?

Oh, uh, I wasn't trying to say I wanted to go. I mean, I do want to go, but I meant something else when I said, “How nice.”

Huh? Then what did you mean?

I have fun when I see you smile, Ai. I was just thinking it'd be nice if I could bring joy to others in that way too.

But you're doing just that, Rinari. I have fun when I talk to you!

Even if my face doesn't show it?

Hmm. Your face might not show it, but you're always listening to my stories, right? That means AI am receiving your love! Geddit?! Ai? I? Eh?

Anyway, I'm saying that I can tell how you feel through your actions.

My actions?

Oh, you're not really convinced, huh? I can see you fidgeting!

You know what? Ever since we've started talking, I've started to actually enjoy it. I want to talk with lots more people.

Which is why I…want to practice smiling.

You want to practice smiling? Hmm, I wonder what the best way would be? For me, my smiles just burst out because I can't hold them in anymore.

Oh, I know! I've just had a great idea!

I'm gonna do a bunch of things to make you smile! So keep on watching me until a smile just bursts out from you!

Until a smile bursts out?

I'll start with my punderful puns! These will totally make you burst with smiles!

Okay. Please go ahead.

Here I go! Don't have a seat? I couldn't CHAIR less! Why the stone face? I'm gonna ROCK you! But not before I get my CUSH ON sitting on this CUSHION. Ah, you STOOL my seat!

[Fade in/out.]

Ai? Um, Ai?

Whoa! Sorry, sorry! I went on a wild trip just now.

Rinari and I are total besties of course, but I'm also real close with you now, Ayumu! I'm so glad I've made so many good friends!
