Me: OK, now here's something to discuss.
Goh: A festival!
Me: Sure. And you might recognize the title, because...
Ash: Wait! Is this like the one from two months ago?
Pikachu: Pika? ["Is it?"]
Me: Good guess, and you're absolutely right. I think they're also tying it with the establishment of the venue.
Goh: OK, same organizer, same place, same competitions, everything.
Me: Exactly that. I hear they also got a bit of help from an outside organizer who helped with certain festivals.
Goh: That's nice at least. So... the competitions.
Ash: Our friend set me up with the "other" Rica Matsumoto song for the singing competition!
Me: Yup - it's the first competitive attempt for that, and we can finally get it in after we "practiced" it so long ago.
Goh: How'd you do?
Ash: I think I did great! I got the words spot on and did the things our friend suggested I do.
Me: Right, it's to put on a little show while doing that - the song is known for its "transforming" role, after all.
Ash: I guess I did "transform".
Goh: That must have been a sight to see.
Pikachu: Pika! ["Very nice!"]
Ash: And I think our friend will be able to see for himself.
Me: Interesting! I'll definitely look it over.
Goh: And there was a character parade, right?
Ash: Right. But our didn't set me up for that, even with my Journeys outfit.
Me: Sorry about that. This time, I really just wanted us to "put our Eggs in one basket".
Goh: And watch that basket, apparently.
Me: That sounds like a quote I know. So, how'd we do on that basket and those Eggs?
Ash: They didn't hatch.
Goh: I see.
Me: I'll see about "incubating" them for another time with you.
Ash: Sure, I'll try again.
Pikachu: Chu pika chu. ["With me."]
Goh: OK, the rest of the festival had to be for entertainment.
Ash: Yeah! Two dance groups and the karaoke group we know.
Me: That's standard by now and always fun to see.
Goh: You must have also had fun in different ways.
Ash: Sure. I talked to many of our friend's friends and did things with them - we even played games together.
Me: Absolutely better than nothing. It beats me moping around for something that happened yesterday.
Goh: I'm sorry to hear about that.
Ash: I sensed it - but it did help me to sing for you.
Me: Thanks. And while the results are just the same as last time, at least we got something out of it.
Goh: And the performance you can see.
Me: Indeed. That may be useful to me in more ways than one.
Pikachu: Chu~ pika. ["I think so."]
Ash: I can't wait to see what you'd do with that!
Me: I can't wait either - and for the next festival or convention opportunity as well.
