"Fine'' said Hakudoshi. Since you already know were in a forest, I'll tell you that you are in the feudal era. ''Feudal era?'' asked Mariko confused, ''you mean long ago feudal era?'' she asked. ''Yes'' Hakudoshi replied. ''You mean no cars, electricity, or machines feudal era?'' she asked again. ''Yep, whatever that is'' he replied again. All that came from Mariko was a frown from the news she just received. '' So I'm stuck here forever'' she said sadly. Looking at her facial expression, Hakudoshi said sympathetically, ''If it helps, there is a girl that also comes from your era and I think she might be able to help you''. ''Really?'' asked Mariko brightened. ''Yep'' he replied. ''Wow you guys must be best friends then'' she said with a smile back on her face.

''Not necessarily best friends''

''Then friends?''

''No''

''Acquaintances'?'

''No''

''Then what?''

'' Basically enemies''

''Then how are you going to talk to her?'' Mariko asked. ''Hopefully in a non-violent way'' he replied. ''So should we go to her now?'' he asked. Mariko, still with a brightened face she replied, ''No, if I went to her then I wouldn't be able to play with my new friend''. '' We're friends?'' said Hakudoshi confused. ''Of course we are'' she replied with a smile on her face. '' We already know each other's name and we know a little bit about ourselves so that means we're friends. ''Wow I never knew it took you 10 minutes just to become friends'' replied Hakudoshi. '' So since were friends, what do you suppose the first thing we do now?'' asked Mariko as she grabbed his hand. '' I guess we should get out the forest first'' he replied back with a smile. ''After all, what are friends for''?
