Enduring Friendship
Every time we come here, it brings back memories. Same for you, right?
Yep. We’ve been through a lot together, you and me.
Oh yeah! You remember that time? You know, that one time!
When we had that big fight?
That’s the one. It’s easily the biggest bust-up we’ve ever had. In all the years I’ve known you, nothing else has come close.
It was bad, all right. I’m just glad we made up afterwards.
You know, for such a big argument... I don’t even remember what it was about.
We were really young. It was probably just some silly kid thing.
You’re probably right. Hey, Shulk... Do you ever think about it? Without me bringing it up, I mean.
I think about it sometimes. If we’d never had that argument, I don’t think we’d be friends now.
That’s just what I was thinking! We must have said some pretty harsh things to each other... But it was worth it, right? It’s why we’re such good mates now!
Yeah, it was definitely worth it. You know, it’s funny how we think alike sometimes. I’d have figured you were still angry.
Nah, not anymore. But you did get on my nerves a bit back then. You were just too clever, man. It got under my skin.
And I thought you were just this big, dumb brute. Hey, I guess that’s what we were arguing about.
Yeah, that sounds about right. But after all that fighting, we came out stronger. And we learnt about each other.
You know, I don’t say this enough. Thanks, Reyn. I couldn’t ask for a better friend.
No problem, Shulk. And remember, you don’t have to hold back. You can call me a big, dumb brute anytime you like. I’ll take it on the chin! 
Nope, never.
What difference does it make if I think about it or not?
What d’ya mean? Are you saying it don’t matter if we ever became friends or not?
No! That’s not what I mean at all. I’m just saying... I don’t have to think about it every day. We’re friends now, and that’s what matters. Not some silly argument.
Oh, right. Now I get you. I guess it’s different for me. I’m stupid, so I just forget stuff if I don’t keep thinking about it.
You say the funniest things. I bet I’m just as bad though. There are probably tons of important things I’ve forgotten.
Maybe, maybe not. The point is, we got everything off our chests back then. And now we hardly ever argue. Pretty great, huh?
And even if we do have another fight, I know we’ll survive it. We’ll be true friends forever. At least, that’s what I’m hoping.
Me too, man. Me too.
When Dunban told us off?
Hold on a minute, Shulk. Be honest now. You’re remembering it wrong.
I am?
Well, not... wrong exactly... But that’s not the important part, man! Think harder!
What do you mean?
You remember why he got angry with us, right?
Of course I do!
You and me... We made Fiora cry!
Exactly! And... wait, why was she crying again?
Reyn! How can you have forgotten already? You’re the one who was reminding me! Anyway, if I think back... Weren’t we having a massive argument?
Oh yeah! That was it. Not often we fight that bad.
It’s rare all right. In fact... We could count the number of times we’ve fought on one finger!
It kind of makes me smile, though. If it weren’t for that fight, I don’t think we’d be mates.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s amazing how we think alike sometimes. I’m glad we’re friends.
Me too, Shulk. Friends to the end, that’s us!
Why was it again…?
I... just can’t remember. Sorry.
Shulk? You seriously telling me you forgot?
I kinda remember... us having a fight or something?
That’s the exact reason! And there’s you saying you don’t remember. She took one look at us going at it, and she burst into tears!
Is that what happened? I’m still a bit fuzzy on the details. But I do know that if we hadn’t had that argument... We probably wouldn’t be friends.
You can say that again. Dunban was all angry, and then you made a joke and we laughed!
Oh, now I remember! Even Fiora got caught up in it. She started laughing even though she was still crying. It was great!
Let’s just make sure we keep on laughing. Even when we get on each other’s nerves!
Couldn’t have put it better myself. That’s what being best friends is all about!
