1 The 26 and the Power of Friendship (M-Z)

MOTIVATIONAL:

"What do you want to do first?"

"I don't care. As long as it's a place that's not too crowded. Don't know how people would react to seeing me."

"Ruby, can I tell you something my mom told me?"

"If you think it'll help."

"My mom said, 'Once you start showing people the truth of who you are, you'll never truly feel."

"But I'll be alone."

"'Don't be afraid of being outnumbered. Eagles fly alone. Pigeons fly together.'"

"True, and hey, if we ever do find someplace cool, all I have to do is scare them away and we'll be alone.

Non-Judgmental:

"What are we waiting for then? Let's go."

"If you say so. Hang on."

"Wait. Wait. I'm scared of heightsssss!!!"

"I won't let you fall, promise."

"Falling is not what I'm afraid of."

"Then what is?"

"Oof!!

You need to work on your landings more."

"Hey, don't judge me. I'm a work in progress."

"I'm not judging, I was just….voicing my opinion."

"Is that what you call it nowadays?"

"Ruby, over here!! That landing you did was superb!!"

"Thanks whoever you are."

"Ruby, it's me, your big brother Adryan."

"Adryan, say it isn't so. How did you get here?"

OPTIMISTIC:

"I don't know. One minute I was sleeping and then the next I woke up here. I'm glad to see you again."

"The feeling is likewise."

"Ruby, you no longer are the only one."

"I know, but now you are."

"Don't be sad for me. I am certain that I'll find someone. We have till eleven."

"Why so soon?"

"You make me feel confident again when I am with you."

"I'll always be with you. As long as your family believes, then I will remain."

"That's not entirely true. Once the clock strikes twelve, I'll lose you for the night."

Pure:

"I'll be back the next day?"

"Only if I keep believing. My family is what's making you whole, but if it were just me believing, then you would stay in ghost form unlike human form which you are now."

"Let's not think about that right now. Time is still young so time to use it. Wanna try out that carnival trick?"

"The thing is, we gotta first find one. The last one left a week ago."

"I'm sure we could catch it."

"How…aaagh…I hate teleporting!!!"

"Yeaa!! We made it."

"Man, look at the people."

"No biggie. Ready to scare, Brother!!"

Questionable:

"I've been ready long before you were even born."

"Then let's hit it!!"

"Mommy, ok."

"I see it. Now use this ball to knock down the ghosts and claim your prize."

"I did it!! I knocked down the first one."

"Can you do it again?"

"Huh? Mommy, the ball went straight through. I don't understand."

"Try again, Hun."

"It keeps going straight through."

"That's impossible. Ghosts aren't….*BOO'

"Aaaagh. They're real. They're real!! Everybody run!!"

"Wait, where is everybody going? Come back."

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaaa!!! Flee our presence, small and innocent creatures."

"Your kind is no longer accepted here."

RESPECTFUL:

"Way to thin out the herd, Ruby."

"Why thank you. Give credit where credit is due."

"Enough talking and more walking. I have some rides I want to play on and now that I'm alone, I want to try them all."

"Darius, that's not how we are going to do this. Although your parents aren't here, that doesn't mean you can do anything you want."

"You sound just like my mom."

"Hey! Moms aren't created, they are born. You don't just wake up one day and turn. Respect is for all people, older than you included."

"Likewise goes to me."

SOCIABLE:

"Where do you suggest we go, then?"

"TO… THE BUMPER CARS!!!"

"What? That's one of the most dangerous rides. I thought you said…"

"I'm watching you. To get more sociable, you have to go beyond the limits of your space bubble whether that means physically, mentally, or emotionally."

"How am I to be social if there are no people here? Bumper cars may jolt out my emotions past their limits, but it'll also jolt out my breakfast."

"It'll also…break walls!! Come on."

"Adryan, can you start it up?"

"I'd be more than happy to."

"Ready to break down some walls?"

TRUSTWORTHY:

"I'm gonna ram you so hard that..ohh…you're a ghost. Nevermind."

"Strap in boys. It's about to get real messy."

"You'e going down."

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THIS IS THE FIGHT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. MAN VSSSS…..GHOST!! WHO….WILL SCARE FIRST?"

"Thanks for the intro, man."

"BEGIN!!!"

"Raaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

"Aaaaaaaghhh!!!!"

*BANG*

"Hey, where do you think you're going? Get back here."

"Trust me!!"

"You can't leave the court."

"Ruby, bumper cars are electric and run off of electricity in the floor."

"Your point?"

"The earth's floor is filled with electricity, so technically we should be able to draw its power."

UNDERSTANDING:

"Kid, I may not know why this has sparked you on but let's go. Adryan, hit the switch then hop in."

"I have a better idea. Hang on."

"What? What does he…woo!! I'm flying!! Ruby, look."

"Air always beats ground. Darius, wait up for me. I'm coming."

"Adryan, faster, faster!!

If you want me, then you're gonna have to catch me!!"

"That won't be too hard."

"Hey, where'd you go? You just disappeared."

"Boo!!"

"Aaagh!!"

"Guess I win, huh!!"

"Curse you and your powers of teleportation."

"It pays to be a ghost."

"True, but it pays better to be smarter."

VERSATILE:

"You may be fast, but I'm faster!! Electricity in the air; come to me and power me home!!"

"Now this is a fair fight. Meet you at the Castle!!"

"Not if I get there first!!"

"SPIRITS OF THE DEEP, CLING TO ME AND GIVE ME MIGHT!!"

"Adryan, follow that scooter!! I'll help the best I can by driving."

"There it is boys. The castle is within my sight."

"It may be within your sight, but it is definitely within my grasp."

"Hey!! Stop slamming into me."

"I'll get there first."

"Not if I can help it."

"Sire, we have incoming!!!"

WONDERFUL:

"It's Darius!! Lower the gates. Let them in!!"

"We're coming in fast!! I can't slow down."

"Ride the wind!! It'll help slow you down."

"Adryan, we're gonna….I got you!! You're safe."

"I thought you used the nets to trap the intruders, not save them."

"Well, today is an inbetween day."

"So this is what a castle looks like!!!!"

"I made it. What are we marveling at?"

"How fast I'm!!"

"Wait till you see the inside."

"I can't wait. I've seen pictures of them outside and videos of inside, but physically seeing will be another different level. I can't wait."

XENIAL(Hospitable):

"Welcome to the Castle of Fire!! You may look around but if you do, please stay together and remember not to touch anything. All this stuff is not fake and predates your years by thousands. Please, sit here by the fire and warm yourselves."

"Thank you. Your hospitality is beyond approach."

"Once you have warmed up enough, come join me in the Galla. I have something I want to show you."

"Th…th….th…th….thanks…sir!!"

"Come on. Let's see what he has to offer us."

"We're here, Sir. Thanks for the warmth from your fire. What do you want to show us?"

YOUTHFUL:

"I'm glad that you and the fire warmed up to each other. Here we have many exquisite and beautiful drawings hanging on the wall. Most were painted by my great great great grandparents. This castle has survived many generations and I hope to…."

"Sorry to interrupt, but who's that looking at one of the paintings? I thought we were the only ones here."

"If you're asking if she came from outside, she did not. She is a regular here and fancies this her favorite room. Her name is Princess Elwin...and she's, my daughter."

"She's beautiful. I..I..I…"

"Go talk to her."

ZING:

"What do I say to her?"

"Just be yourself. Remember, use all the things we've talked about. Get to know her. Right now she feels lonely. Cheer her up."

"Huhmphh!! Here goes nothing.

Hi, my name is…"

"Aagh!! Oh....you scared me."

"Sorry to scare you, Princess. Should've asked first if you like being surprised."

"It's ok. I'm fine now."

"What is life like for you here in the castle?"

"I love it. I just wish I could spread my wings also."

"Princess, the world is not as big as you think, and I'd love to show it to you."
