(#4: "Do You Remember When?")
After Tooty regained consciousness, she ran to the skull hut where Mumbo, Jamjars, & Bottles were congratulating each other on their Success. But when Tooty told them what happened, their success quickly turned into a disaster, & their pride became mortification. Well, except for Mumbo, who was too busy laughing to be mortified.
"Mumbo can't believe it!" He shouted, as soon as he could stop laughing long enough. "Banjo & Kazooie on a date? Mumbo thinks that is the funniest thing he's ever heard!"
"This is no laughing matter you wacky witch-doctor!" Jamjars shouted. "We have sent an idiot bear on a date with an overly aggressive bird! Do you realize the consequences of our actions?!"
"No. Do you?"
"Well of course I… well I think I… well no. But there will be consequences! Mark my words!!"
"What consequences could there be? Banjo & Kazooie have been friends for a long time. Mumbo doesn't think anything bad will happen, other then them being very surprised & embarrassed. & when they come back we can all have a good laugh."
Jamjars, Tooty, & Bottles were about to object, but realized that he was right.
"What were we thinking?" Tooty asked. "Nothing bad will happen just because they went out on one date!"
"Except Kazooie will be awfully mad at you when she finds out you set her up with her best friend." Bottles commented. "& you know how Kazooie gets when she's mad!"
Tooty gasped in fear & envisioned an angry Kazooie with glowing eyes & flames shooting from her nostrils. Tooty laughed nervously & fainted again. Bottles, Mumbo, & Jamjars all had anime tear-drops on the sides of their heads as Tooty lay on the floor. Meanwhile, at the Café Lenore, Banjo & Kazooie sat on opposite sides of their table; Banjo had a nervous smile on his face & Kazooie had an annoyed look on hers. They hadn't dared talk to each other for fifteen minutes, until Banjo finally got up the nerve to break the silence.
"Nice place isn't it?" He said nervously. "I sure do like the way they-"
"Be quiet." Kazooie replied. "I'm trying to think of what I can do to Tooty when I get home."
"Oh don't be like that. Let's just try to enjoy our date."
"Date? Banjo this is not a date. It can't be a date. We're friends Banjo, & (no offence) I wouldn't want you as a boyfriend."
"Oh… well we could enjoy spending time together."
"We always spend time together. You carry me around in your back-pack for crying out loud!"
"Oh… I guess we should just go home then?"
"What for? So the others can make fun of us before I turn them all into mulch? Nah, we may as well have some grub here. What do you think?"
Banjo smiled. "I think that's a good idea… well, all except for turning the others into mulch."
They both Laughed & when the waiter came they ordered their food. As they ate they watched couples dancing on the floor, enjoyed the music, & made each other laugh. They weren't sure when it happened, but at some point or other they actually began to enjoy themselves.
"You know Banjo," Kazooie said after finishing off the last of her bird-seed casserole. "I take back what I said earlier. It's actually been fun spending time with you. I mean, I don't think we've just talked like this since we were kids."
"No, I don't think we have." Banjo said, licking the last remnants of his honey-barbeque steak sauce off his paw. "We sure did talk a lot back then." Banjo smiled & was happy to see Kazooie smile back. "… Do you remember when?"
"When what Banjo?"
"When we first met all those years ago."
"…Yeah. I had been abandoned by my flock & fell out of my nest. I was too young to fly, so I couldn't get back up out of the snow. It sure was cold that winter. But then you came along."
"Yeah, I found you half frozen & carried you back home in my back-pack. My parents & I must have spent days trying to nurse you back to health, & even after you were healthy enough to be moved around you were still pretty weak."
"& you were so worried about me you would take me to school with you in your back-pack… which is probably why I spend so much time in there now."
"& after a few months, mom & dad decided you could stay with us since you had no family of your own."
"Yeah… I sure miss Ma & Pa."
"Me too. I wish Tooty could remember them."
"Tooty…"
"What's wrong?"
"I feel so bad for treating her badly. She must hate me."
"Actually, she doesn't."
"…?..."
"Nope. She loves you like a big sister Kaz'."
"Hmm, now that's surprising."
Kazooie smiled at Banjo again, she had been smiling that night. But she really smiled when she heard the band play a certain romantic tune.
"Ooh, I love this song!" she shouted. She wondered why she wasn't worried about letting Banjo know she liked such a sappy song.
"Me too!" Banjo replied. He was glad Kazooie opened up to him.
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, who'd of thought that we both liked the same sappy music?"
"Hey… do you… maybe want to dance?"
"Dance? Me? No, I couldn't."
"Sure you could. We both like the song right? So why not?"
Banjo stood up & held his paw out to Kazooie. Kazooie looked at him for a moment, & put her wing in his paw. They walked onto the dance floor, Kazooie put her wings on Banjo's shoulders & Banjo put his arms around Kazooie's waist. They began to sway to the music, as the piano player began to sing.
"Maybe it's intuition, but some things you just don't question- like in your eyes I see my future in an instant- & there it goes, I think I've found my best friend.- I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe- I knew I loved you before I met you. I think I dreamed you into life- I knew I loved you before I met you. I have been waiting all my life- There's just no rhyme or reason, only a sense of completion- & in your eyes I see the missing pieces I'm searching for- I think I've found my way home- I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe- I knew I loved you before I met you. I think I dreamed you into life- I knew I loved you before I met you. I have been waiting all my life-" Banjo Stopped dancing & Kazooie asked him why. But Banjo didn't answer. He just stood looking down into Kazooie's green eyes, & she looked up into his blue eyes. The music seemed to reflect Banjo's thoughts as the drummer & guitar player sang, "A thousand angels dance around you- I am complete now that I've found you." Banjo just stood with his arms around Kazooie, looking into her eyes as the melody seemed to float around them. Kazooie put her wings around him, & rested her head on his shoulder. Whatever had happened just then to Banjo & Kazooie… it felt right. "I knew I loved you before I met you. I think I dreamed you into life- I knew I loved you before I met you. I have been waiting all my life- I knew I loved you before I met you. I think I dreamed you into life- I knew I loved you before I met you. I have been waiting all my life…"

Ok, ok, I know this chapter was a little rushed, but I couldnt think of anything else to do with it. I am also unsure about the way put in the song lyrics. I promise the next chapter will be much much better! Please review & tell me what you thought of this chapter!
