Three youths sit at the edge of a lake. It's a beautiful day.

Jasper
* Ahhhh....

The youths are animal folk-- Jasper, a Samoyed dog; Moon-Soo, a moon bear; and Sunny, a tree goanna.

Jasper
* Now this is what it's all about.

Sunny
* Too right, too right.
* Only thing could make this better is if we had a couple beers to chuck back.

Jasper
* Aw, we can't. Moon-Soo's still 17!

Sunny
* For like a month!

Moon-Soo
* still illegal.

Sunny
* Orright, ya fuckken squares, I'll deal then.
* We are absolutely missing out though. This is a prime six-pack occasion.

Moon-Soo
* just bring the alcohol next time we're out here. i'll be 18 by then.

Jasper
* You reckon next time'll be more than a month out?

Moon-Soo
* for sure. it's not like we've been able to see each other much since we graduated.

Jasper ponders this new information.

Jasper
* Shit... yeah. We really haven't.
* What happened to us?

Moon-Soo
* school used to force us into proximity. with that over, nothing's making us hang together anymore.

Jasper
* I guess even when it got really busy, we always had debate club Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Sunny counts on her fingers.

Sunny
* Plus, I got my job at Woolies, Moonsy's dating Clip,
* Jazza's got that shit with his dad all the time...

Jasper
* Aw come on, it's not all the time.

Sunny
* Oh, it isn't, is it?
* So you're not gonna ditch us this afternoon cause of your "prior obligations"?

Jasper
* ........................................................................
* ........................................................................

Jasper lets out a sheepish little squeak.

Jasper
* No

Sunny
* You absolutely certain bout that.

Moon-Soo
* sunny...

Sunny
* I'm just saying, he's always doin' this shit.
* I mean, fuck, Moon-Soo could be off getting laid right now but he still made the time.

A cunning look descends upon his face. Jasper has -- god help us -- an idea

Jasper
* Actually... I had a really good idea for something we could do this afternoon.

Moon-Soo
* oh?

Sunny
* No shit?

Jasper
* Aw yeah, absolutely.
* You guys wanna see something cool...?
