[China's all smiles as he gives a wave.]

Nihao! It has come to my attention that this year, or rather, in the year of 2012, the date for the Dragon Boat Festival is June twenty-third.

Activities for the Dragon Boat Festival include eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, and racing dragon boats. There is also a game where one tries to make an egg stand at exactly noon, and if you succeed you will have luck for the next year.

I would like to bring this traditional Chinese holiday to Fortuna, especially the boat races if it is safe to go rowing on the lake, aru. Then of course I will prepare plenty of zongzi for others to eat.

[Action] - nah, I can backtag!

[gochuugoku]

Shall we go then?

[Action]

[meilihua]

[Flashing him the V-sign with both hands] But if you fall behind because your back hurts, I'm not slowing down!

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

W-Who says my back is going to hurt. I am perfectly fine!

[But he follows. About halfway through the walk, he speaks up again.]

Taiwan, I was thinking...

[Action]

[meilihua]

About what? You know I'll help care for you so they don't put you in a nursing home!

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

That's not what I was thinking about at all!

[He takes a deep breath to calm himself.]

I was thinking about the music we could use at the wedding. Of course there will be the usual music for the ceremony, but knowing Stocking and some of our guests, I was thinking that perhaps we should have some dance music too for after.

[Action]

[meilihua]

Oh. Hm. ...that'll be a little more difficult. I wonder how many people can play instruments here?

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

We could also use CD's if anyone has them here.

[Action]

[meilihua]

But none of mine work anymore... do you know anyone who has them?

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

Hong Kong, might. Perhaps others will let us use them if we ask?

Either way, we do have one musician who has kindly volunteered to be a part of the wedding. [Even though that musician does make a lot of panty jokes.]

[Action]

[meilihua]

Oh! Did you ask Miss Helen? She plays violin really well!

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

Ah, no, I haven't. I was talking about Brooke. Perhaps I will ask her, though I have not spoken with her often.

[Action]

[meilihua]

Oh yeah, Brooke is really great at playing too! Ah...I wish I could play...

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

Why don't you ask me, or Hong Kong, or both of us to teach you?

[Action]

[meilihua]

Wait both of you can play violin? You made me spend all those years learning the erhu!

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

[He blushes.]

O-Oh... You were talking about the violin?

[Action]

[meilihua]

Yeah! What did you think I was talking about, Teacher?

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

Any Eastern instrument... [Even though he taught her how to play so many of them already.]

[Action]

[meilihua]

You've already taught me most of them!

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

I-I know. It's just that I thought you were--well... [This was so embarrassing.]

Why don't you ask Miss Helen to teach you? [Trying to steer his way out of this one!]

[Action]

[meilihua]

Oh! You think I should? It's probably really hard to find a violin here though...

...wait, what were you thinking?

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

I could make one for you. The ones that were left behind are probably rotting away anyway.

C-Can we not talk about that anymore?

[Action]

[meilihua]

Well, if you're just embarrassed you've forgotten it already...

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

[He just keeps walking.]

Are we almost there?

[Action]

[meilihua]

Y-yes, it's in that building right there...I think...

[Action]

[gochuugoku]

Alright.

[Now he releases Xi Shi from her pokeball. He'd like another fighter in case something jumps at them.]
