"We're All Smiling"

Submitted by Revereche

HEY, YOU.

ARE YOU SEEING THIS?

GREAT! IT WORKED, THEN! I HAVE TO SAY, IT IS SO GREAT TO BE TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. I MEAN IT, REALLY! IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE

BUT YOU KNOW, ENOUGH OF THAT STUFF, RIGHT? PAST IS PAST, LET BYGONES BE BYGONES. IT'S YOU WE'RE INTERESTED IN, BABY!

SO, YOU SEE THAT RED THING THERE? REDDISH-PINK KIND OF THING, RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SICKLY GRAY TREE WITH A FAT BULB AT THE BASE?
THAT'S WHERE I NEED YOU TO

YOU KNOW

YEAH, LIKE THAT! BOY, YOU'RE A GOOD SPORT. BARELY EVEN NEEDED ANY URGING AT ALL
SO THIS IS WHY YOU'RE THE SORT OF PERSON OUT TALKING TO TREES, HUH
I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY! JUST A JOKE, YOU KNOW. IT GETS LONELY OUT HERE FOR EACH OF US

OKAY, I GUESS WE'RE DONE. ALWAYS THAT QUICK?
I'M SORRY! ANOTHER JOKE. I'M SMILING RIGHT NOW, A REAL FRIENDLY SMILE. JUST IMAGINE IT.

BOY, WE'RE GOING TO REMEMBER YOU FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. YOU'RE GOING TO BE A HERO FOR THE SORT OF THING THEY WOULD SHUN YOU FOR. BUT WE'LL REMEMBER, ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

AND YOU SHOULD REMEMBER, TOO, THAT YOU'RE WELCOME BACK ANY TIME.

WE'RE ALL SMILING.
