Me: OK, now here's something different.
Goh: It's a Friday! You don't usually have something like this going on today.
Me: That's true, but today also happens to be an off day, so it kind of makes sense to schedule something for today.
Ash: Well, I'm all for it!
Me: Sure! In fact, our friends from Bocchi Noizu have asked us - you - to perform (that is, sing).
Goh: Nice!
Ash: So, whatcha got?
Me: Well, I'm thinking about our (Pokémon) anthem, a pirate anthem, and... something a little different - it could be the "childhood" anthem of some people.
Ash: That's a lot. But I can do them all.
Pikachu: Pi pika! ["Should be nice!"]
Me: We should know the first two by heart. The third... that's my call to make it even more different.
Ash: Hey, it's in English!
Goh: OK, that's unique.
Me: But it does help our case a bit. How'd you do?
Ash: I did mostly great! But... maybe the mix was a bit of a problem on the "pirate anthem"?
Goh: Well, maybe you can have Ash do it again.
Ash: I think that's a good idea! One of the other performers said I could do that.
Me: Let me think about that - if and when we get the chance, I think that could happen.
Ash: Awesome!
Pikachu: Pika, pika chu. ["Seems a good idea."]
Goh: So, this is a Bocchi Noizu festival. It's got everything we'd expect, right?
Ash: Performers - one of them me, of course.
Goh: Check.
Ash: Games - I even got to try one.
Goh: OK, we know that's not our thing, but we can always try.
Me: The result was probably not what we'd expect.
Ash: Yeah. And then there was the character parade.
Pikachu: Pika pika. ["As usual."]
Goh: Sure thing. How'd that go?
Ash: I didn't win anything. It was an "off" day, but all the other characters were "on".
Goh: Shoot. At least you got something for your performance, right.
Ash: Just a little, for our friend. I hear it'll be special for him soon.
Me: Hehe, you're right about that - but I'll deal with that on my own.
Goh: I guess it's a special "off" day too where it's a bit "on".
Me: You can say that again.
Ash: Happy anniversary, Bocchi Noizu! [whispering] And happy your "anniversary".
Goh: Oh!
Me: Certainly, thanks.
