[If something seems different about Quinn today, there is. She has a little patch on the side of her shorts, a little pink heart...and she sewed it on all by herself! It actually looks good, mainly because she had a lot of help, and she only stuck herself with the needle once! Hard work actually feels good, who would've figured.

She's walking around town, kinda showing off, with a major skip in her step. If she catches sight of you, prepare to be chatted up. Or, if you're a hot guy, flirted with. And feel free to chat up or flirt with her if you wish!]

He sounds like quite a guy...I don't remember the last time a teacher had that effect on me. [Well, she does. But he also broke her heart so that cancels it out in her book.]

[niceguypose]

He certainly is quite the guy! I am very sorry that you have not had a teacher like him. He can inspire anyone to make their dreams a reality through hard work!

[cuteisawayoflife]

I wish Lawndale had teachers like that! The closest we have is Mr. O'Neill with his new-age feelings stuff, but even he's a flake. [It's mainly through Daria that she's begun to realize the teachers' flaws but still] And don't get me started on our history teacher!

[niceguypose]

I see. I am sorry that your teacher is... ah, flake-like. I hope that Gai-Sensei returns here some day, and that he can teach you everything he knows!

[cuteisawayoflife]

You make him sound so great, I hope I get a chance to meet him someday!

[niceguypose]

I hope so too! He was here for such a short time... There are so many hearts he never got to touch!

[cuteisawayoflife]

How long ago was this? [She's genuinely curious about this Gai now. Anyone who can have such an effect on people must be super popular!]

[niceguypose]

Ah... It was last summer! He was here for just a few months.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Really? I'm sorry I didn't run into him back then!

[niceguypose]

Don't worry about it! It's not anyone's fault. Youth is full of missed opportunities of bittersweetness. Hopefully, such a chance may come again someday!

[cuteisawayoflife]

Yeah, it sure is! Like the time I had to miss a teen fashion expo because Sandi got sick and the rest of us didn't go out of loyalty to her. And because we didn't think we could handle it without our president. [They probably could have, though, and Sandi was just being selfish. She only had a cold and a zit!]

[niceguypose]

That's right! Quinn-san, to experience such bittersweetness, you must truly be living in the springtime of your youth!

[cuteisawayoflife]

I guess I am! Springtime of youth... [It sounds so geeky, but she's starting to like it. Maybe she'll say it to Daria one day just to see how she reacts.]

[niceguypose]

That's right! The springtime of youth. It's especially great when your youth is at full power!

[cuteisawayoflife]

The power of youth? Sounds like something from a superhero comic. Not that I read those, but Dad used to as a kid.

[niceguypose]

Your father sounds like a very noble man! So, youthfulness is considered to be supremely heroic where you come from? That sounds very great!

[cuteisawayoflife]

Noble? Well...I guess he is. In his own way! [He's mostly clueless and sometimes angry and pretty insecure] And it is, women spend a lot of time trying to hide wrinkles and laugh lines and men wear the dorkiest hairpieces to hide their baldness. [That might not be the kind of youthfulness he means, Quinn...]

[niceguypose]

Really? Even if such things are unyouthful... things like wrinkles and baldness should be worn with pride! You can still be youthful even with those features! They must have a lot to learn about the springtime of youth.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Tell me about it! I mean, makeup can hide any wrinkles or freckles, but some of the toupees these old guys were are hideous!

[niceguypose]

That sounds very unfitting! I am glad that you seem to be more youthful yourself, Quinn-san!
