Sarah is about to sit down to play again, now in the comfort of her bedroom.

But Lauri walks in at that moment and goes straight to her.
Lauri: Wait, don’t start your game yet, I have something to tell you.
Sarah: Ok, make it quick, they’re waiting for me.

Lauri: Oh, come on, Sarah, give me a few minutes, this is important.
Sarah: Okay, okay, speak now.
Lauri: Are you ready?
Sarah: As of half a minute ago. Spit it out already, girl!
Lauri: Well, Dale just offered to come with me to the gym and help me train.
Sarah: Uh-huh. ¿And?

Lauri: What do you mean ‘and‘? Dale offered to help me with my training, that’s all. Maybe it’s not much but I still think it’s fantastic.
Sarah: Yeah, well. It’s no big deal, just Cho being nice and a good sport, that’s all.
Lauri: Maybe, but who knows? This could be the start of something else, the sign that I’m not entirely indifferent to him.

Sarah: You really don’t get it, do you, girl? Cho is outgoing, and very flirty. He loves girls, all of them, and you’re a girl, a cute one at that, so he’s going to hover around you, it doesn’t mean he’s interested in you, at least not in the way you expect.
Lauri: If he’s not interested in me, then why would he bother to tell me he wants to get to know me better?

Sarah: I’m not saying he can’t be interested in you, he is, but he probably just wants a fling, something temporary, no strings attached.
Lauri: Wow, you sure know how to make me lose all hope.
Sarah: Cause I want you to be realistic. See, I don’t mean to be harsh, but I really think there’s no hope for you and him.
Lauri: …

Sarah: Anyway, did you accept his invitation?
Lauri: Of course I didn’t. I don’t want problems with Kelly, but I still think Dale is really trying to get closer to me.
Sarah: If you say so… But I must warn you that maybe you expect too much of something that, in my opinion, is hopeless.
Lauri: I appreciate your concern, but I’m telling you, if the slightest chance with Dale comes up, I’m not letting it go.
Sarah: *Sigh*

Sarah: Okay, you do you, but if something goes wrong, don’t say later that I didn’t warn you.
Lauri: Don’t worry, I won’t. And I’m not going after him, if something happens, he’ll have to initiate it.
Sarah: Well, that sounds a bit better. Now, what about our trip to Lucky Palms, are you still in?
Lauri: Well, I want to go, get the job and all that, but maybe if…
Sarah: If you stay in Hidden Springs something will happen with Cho?

Lauri: Uh, yes.
Sarah: Well, good luck with that, girl.
Lauri: Please don’t stop being my friend because of this.
Sarah: What? Of course not. And the trip thing is still on if you decide to come. Now I gotta go. My phone won’t stop ringing, that must be my playmates, so if you’ll excuse me…
Lauri: Sure, go ahead and – thank you.
Sarah: You’re most welcome.
