"Yo, Jay!"
"Hey, Carlos," Jay puffed, exploding into the room he and Carlos shared and grabbing his fencing sword. "I really gotta dash. Can't be late for Lonnie."
"You've got a date?" Carlos grinned. "Wicked cool, man!"
"Why're you bringing your sword?" Dude asked curiously. Carlos grinned at his dog. "Nosy questions, Dude. Never a good idea."
"We're going to the meadow for a quick match, then a picnic," Jay explained. He glanced at his watch. "And I'm gonna be late!"
And without further ado, he dashed off.
"Who fences on dates?" Dude asked. Carlos grinned.
"That's just Jay's thing."
