But why even keep it a secret? No offense, but honestly, you really weren't good at it...I mean, really, you tried to keep your distance, but you're pretty bad at keeping me away. It's not like anything is all that much different now, right? I didn't explode from a time paradox or anything...

So, tell me all about it. What's it like living on the moon with me?
[ To think, in another time, she gets to live her dream! ]
