Ash: How are you sweetheart? Are you getting through all your requirements?
Trinity: Good subject change there dad!
Ash: <sigh> I know, but there's nothing more to say really, besides that, it's important to me that you are coping with everything.
Trinity: I've completed everything apart from my job, the parties and making new friends.
Ash: That's great. It's probably time to knock those parties over eh love?
Trinity: I've got a bit of a block when it comes to throwing the parties.
Ash: Really? I always loved the parties. Time to relax and get a bit wild.
Trinity: Oh dad! lol.
Ash: You know it Trinity! Just throw one and enjoy it, don't worry about the results... you can always throw another!
Dude: I'm glad you could make it Terrence.
Terrence: Thanks, it's good to be back for a bit.
