by DDFA (Mark A Page)

Part Two - The Bee

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Scene: Makoto and Ami, sitting on a brick wall in an empty park,
somewhere in Tokyo.

Makoto: She's late, you know.

Ami: Yes, very late.

Makoto: Very, very late.

Ami: Yes, very very late.

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: Maybe she's been distracted.

Ami: Yes, that might be a possibility.

Makoto: After all, this is Mina-chan.

Ami: Yes, yes, this is Mina-chan.

Makoto: She's easy to distract.

Ami: Yes, easy to distract.

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: You don't think she could have forgotten?

Ami: That is a possibility.

Makoto: After all, this is Mina-chan we're talking about.

Ami: Yes, yes, this is Mina-chan we're talking about.

Makoto: She could have let all the arrangements slip from her
mind.

Ami: Yes, clean out of her head.

Makoto: She's known for this, of course.

Ami: Yes, she's known for it.

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: Yes, she forgot we were going shopping last week.

Ami: Yes, she forgot.

Makoto: Clean forgot.

Ami: Yes, it just went clean out of her head.

Makoto: Was distracted by her mother.

Ami: Had to do an errand, I seem to remember.

Makoto: Yes, that was it. An errand.

Ami: Yes, an errand.

Makoto: Did the errand, and in the meantime forgot.

Ami: Yes, she forgot.

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: .....

Ami: But she still remembered what she was supposed to do
during the errand.

Makoto: Yes, she remembered.

Ami: She could have remembered about the shopping.

Makoto: Yes, she could have remembered.

Ami: She SHOULD have remembered.

Makoto: Yes, she SHOULD have remembered.

Ami: So why didn't she?

Makoto: I don't know.

Ami: Ho hum.

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: .....

Ami: What are you looking at?

Makoto: Hmm?

Ami: What are you looking at? You're staring into the air.

Makoto: Oh, there is a bee sitting on that flower, over there.

Ami: Is there?

Makoto: Yes, look.

Ami: So there is.

Makoto: Bees never forget what they have to do.

Ami: No, they don't.

Makoto: They just work and work and work and produce honey and
look after the Queen bee and the baby bees and all....

Ami: Yes, they never forget that they are bees.

Makoto: Yes, they never forget.

Ami: Yes.

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: .....

Ami: .....

Makoto: She's late, you know.

Ami: Yes, very late.

Makoto: Very, very late.

Ami: Yes, very very late.


END OF PART 2

flower? Is it all a figment of Makoto's and Ami's imagination?
