Yen: That’s the spirit. Dapat talaga masigla ka ngayon. Haha.

Bret: Bring home the bacon dude! (tapped James’ shoulder)

Fretzie: Ang luma naman ng sinabi mo. Haha.

Bret: Oh sige. Strike while the iron is hot! Tama ba?

Ivan: Mali pa rin dude. Haha

James: It doesn’t suits man. Haha

Fretzie: Waley na waley ka Bret. Haha

Bret: Of all people, ikaw pa lumaglag sa’kin. What’s waley na waley supposed to mean?

Yen: It means walang wala. Like hindi patok sa’min or hindi namin nagustuhan ang sinabi mo. Haha.

                Nagsitawanan nalang silang lahat.

Bret: Pasalamat ka Fretz, mahal kita. Hindi kita reresbakan.

Yen: Uyy, hindi ka pa pala sinasagot ni Fretz?

Bret: Hindi pa eh. Tsk.

Bret: In fairness ah, maganda boses ng representatives dito.

Fretzie: Oo nga. Pero mas maganda pa rin boses ng pambato natin! Haha.

Ivan: Yeah, no doubt. (inakbayan si Devon)

Devon: Hey Mr. Ivan. Looks like you’re beginning to spoil me. I’m actually starting to believe every word you say. Haha.

Ivan: Totoo naman eh. Diba guys?

Yen: I agree. (smiled)

Bret: Ikaw talaga Yen, kahit ano’ng sabihin ni Ivan, agree ka. (suspicious look)

                Siniko siya ni Fretzie sa tagiliran.

Bret: Ouch! What’s that for?

Fretzie: Eh anu-ano na kasi sinasabi mo! (pinandilatan si Bret)

Bret: Just kidding. Sorry Yen. (kakamot-kamot sa ulo)

Yen: Ano ka ba? I’m getting used to it. (smiled)

                Nagsitawanan ang lahat sa kakulitan nina Bret at Fretzie. Nagsimula nang kumanta ang 2^nd pair. Tuloy pa rin ang kantiyawan ng barkada.

James: Kayo huh, napapansin ko na nagkukulitan na kayo. Uyy..Haha

Devon: Why don’t you answer him Fretz. Haha.

Fretzie: Pa’no ko sasagutin ‘to eh parang di naman seryoso eh. Di gaya ng dati.

Ivan: Ouch! You heard her dude, be serious. (smiled)

Bret: What?! You think I’m not serious about you? About us? (madramang hinawakan ang dibdib niya at kunwaring nasasaktan ang puso niya) Ouch!

                Nagsitawanan ang lahat sa ginawa ni Bret.

Fretzie: See? He’s just joking around. (nakasimangot na)

Bret: Okay, okay. Magiging serious na. (stand straight at inayos ang sarili) How about this?

Yen: Haha. Para ka’ng timang!

                Nagsitawanan na naman sila sa sinabi ni Yen. Habang abala sila sa kakatawa, natapos nang kumanta ang 2^nd pair. Tinawag na sila ng emcee.

Fretzie: Good luck!

Ivan: I’m sure kayo na naman mananalo. Wala’ng binatbat sa boses niyo ang first two. Go make them drop their jaws babe. (sabay tulak kay Devon)

Devon: Shocks, tinawag na pala tayo. Di ko narinig.

James: Haha. Don’t think too much okay? Relax. (smiled)

Umakyat na sila ng stage at nagsimula nang pumailanlang ang tugtog.

Guy: Devon? Tots? Kaw ba yan? Wow! You really look gorgeous now. Na-miss kita ah!

Nagpalakpakan ang audience. Nag-offer naman ng standing ovation ang mga kaibigan nila. Pumunta sina James at Devon kung saan naka-upo sina Fretzie.

Fretzie: Aww, galing niyo talagang dalawa.

Ivan: Congratulations babe! (sabay kiss sa cheek ni Devon at hug)

                “Stop that Ivan.”, sabi ni James sa sarili.

Devon: Don’t congratulate us yet. Hindi pa kami ang winner. (smiled)

Ivan: Even so, I still congratulate you.

Bret: Yeah, congrats sa inyo.

Devon and James: Thanks. (smiled)

                Habang sa di kalayuan, may mga matang nagmamasid sa mga kilos ni Devon.

Guy: Sino naman yung humalik sa kanya? Boyfriend nya kaya yun? I hope not. I hope you haven’t forgotten our pact Devon.
