But first, Bernard and Timbug chat.
Bernard: So I think I'm gonna try to be friends with Kon again.
Timbug: Yeah? That's good, he's a nice guy.
Bernard: It's been a long time since we talked, but he's friends with all of my friends, so...
Timbug: Makes sense.
Bernard: I don't know if I really want to, though.
Bernard: I mean, we fell out pretty hard.
Timbug: I know the feeling.
Timbug: D'you think you could be just friends with him? I mean, like, can you look at him and not hurt or whatever?
Bernard: I don't know.
Timbug: Hm. It's worth a try? Kon is one of my best friends at home. Though I haven't talked to the one here that much...
Bernard: He probably won't want to see me.
Timbug: The Superboy I know is fairly forgiving. I don't think he's capable of holding a grudge.
Bernard: I don't know. He seemed pretty capable when we broke up.
Timbug: Yeah, but you'd just broke up.
Bernard: Then again, I hurt him pretty badly.
Timbug: Yeah, like I said... But he's a pretty forgiving guy. Might be awkward for a while, but he'll get used to it.
Bernard: Yeah. If we see each other face-to-face, I'm gonna have to wear a long-sleeved shirt though.
Timbug: Why?
Bernard: Because of the gash on my arm.
Bernard: It's still not very pretty.
Timbug: Think it would bother him?
Bernard: I'm fairly certain it would bother him, since he inflicted it.
Bernard: Albeit accidentally.
Timbug: Yeah... maybe a good idea.
Bernard: Yeah, that wasn't pretty.
Timbug: I'm sorry.
Bernard: It's okay.
Timbug: : ) I hope you and Superboy do become friends. I haven't really known what to do there, since I like both of you.
Bernard: Yeah, I know.
Bernard: It's hard for everyone, and I feel guilty about it.
Timbug: Don't feel guilty! Bad break-up! Course you wouldn't want to see him!
Bernard: Yeah, it was really bad.
Bernard: Ten stitches and a bag of blood bad.
Timbug: ...ow.
Bernard: And a new window.
Timbug: Wow, what happened
Timbug: ?
Bernard: We were fighting...again. And I was studying in my room and he came over and tried to talk to me. I didn't want to see him so I didn't open the window (he never used the door), and he knocked too hard. The window smashed and glass fell down upon me. A piece cut my arm pretty deep and I was bleeding everywhere. He took me to the hospital and I got fixed up and then we broke up. And then he started seeing Cassie.
Timbug: Oh, shit. I'm sorry, Bernard. That really sucks.
Timbug: (Cassie? Wonder Girl Cassie?)
Bernard: Yes, her.
Timbug: I kind of thought she was a lesbian.
Bernard: Apparently not.
Timbug: She is in my dimension.
Bernard: Well, not in this one.
Timbug: Are you upset about her dating Superboy?
Bernard: I was.
Bernard: They broke up before we started dating, and he was never over her.
Bernard: So yeah, I guess I was upset.
Timbug: I'm sorry.
Timbug: But now you have me?
Bernard: I do. : )
Timbug: :D
Bernard: Enough about me, how was your week?
Timbug: Been okay. Didn't get to work much on my ship, which is a bit annoying.
Bernard: I'm sorry.
Timbug: But yay, school was interesting?
Bernard: Was it?
Timbug: I made friends!
Bernard: That's good.
Timbug: Uh huh. I sometimes forget about talking to people when I get caught up in building stuff.
Bernard: Talking to people is good.
Timbug: It is! Though it keeps me from building stuff.
Timbug: Alas, it is a vicious circle.
Bernard: Indeed.
Timbug: I need to find friends who like to build or something.
Bernard: That's a good compromise.
Bernard: Hang out with the engineering kids.
Timbug: :D
Timbug: I found the geeks.
Bernard: I'm not surprised.
Timbug: They're cool! You should meet them!
Bernard: Yeah? Maybe I will.
Timbug: *grin*
Bernard: I want to see you again.
Timbug: I can come over!
Bernard: But then you can't work on your ship.
Timbug: Hmm. You want to come over here? You can keep me company and distract me with kisses!
Bernard: I'm good at that. ; )
Timbug: Hell yeah you are! :D
Bernard: So you gonna come get me, then?
Timbug: Course. Just gimme a few minutes.
While Timbug flies over to get him...
Bernard: Hey Kon.
Kon: Bernard?
Bernard: Yeah, hi.
Kon: Um. What's up?
Bernard: Look. I know this is really awkward, but the simple fact is that I'm friends with everyone that you're friends with, and it's difficult for them to play favorites and frankly unfair to ask them to chose.
Bernard: So I'm trying.
Kon: Okay
Bernard: I'm fine, how are you?
Kon: Pretty good.
Bernard: Anything interesting happen in your life recently?
Kon: *shrug* Not really. Hawaii doesn't have as many supervillains as I remember.
Bernard: That's good, though.
Bernard: From my end, at least.
Bernard: Fewer chances for you or Bart to get hurt.
Kon: Yeah, I guess. But it's boring.
Kon: So, how about you?
Bernard: Um, not really, I guess.
Bernard: I think I've decided on NYU for college.
Kon: Cool, NY's fun.
Bernard: Yeah, and I figured I could be close to my family.
Bernard: Since I'm now apparently related to half the Arrows and almost-sorta related to the Bats thanks to Dick and Roy.
Bernard: (This is still confusing for me.)
Kon: Yeah, I heard.
Kon: Cool? Have you talked to 'em?
Bernard: I talked to Roy a little, but we haven't met.
Bernard: I'm not sure if I want to meet Ollie.
Kon: Ollie's kinda a lot, but he's a good guy.
Bernard: I wouldn't know.
Kon: If you have any thoughts that aren't totally liberal, he'll argue you to death, though.
Bernard: Hah. Well, I guess it's good I'm pretty liberal, then.
Kon: yEah
Bernard: I'm dating Timbug.
Bernard: I'm not sure if anyone told you.
Kon: ...no, no one did.
Kon: And I totally knew you had a thing for TIm.
Bernard: I don't.
Bernard: Timbug and Tim are two completely different people.
Kon: Who look exactly alike.
Bernard: Yeah, but it'd be like dating a twin.
Bernard: Just because I'm dating one doesn't mean I want to date the other too.
Kon: Still
Kon: I mean, I don't care. I got Cassie and everything. Just saying.
Bernard: Well, thanks for pointing it out, but it's still not true.
Kon: Whatever
Bernard: You sound upset.
Kon: No. Why would I be upset?
Bernard: I don't know, you just sound upset.
Kon: Well, I'm not.
Bernard: That's good.
Kon: Uh huh. Haven't talked with him much.
Bernard: He's nice.
Kon: Yeah.
Bernard: And funny, though he tends to favor practical jokes.
Bernard: I suspect it's from working with Blue Beetle.
Kon: Could be, yeah.
Bernard: So, how's Bart?
Kon: He's good.
Bernard: Anything new in his life?
Kon: Not really.
Kon: Trying to get him to go to school with me.
Bernard: That'd be good.
Kon: Yeah
Bernard: Well, anyway...I gotta go. I'm going to Chicago to see Timbug.
Bernard: See you later.
Kon: Okay. Have fun. Tell him I say hi.
Bernard: Will do.
Kon: I have a date with Cassie soonish anyway. Gotta get ready.
Kon: I need to go get flowers and stuff.
Bernard: I'm sure she'll like that.
Bernard: Maybe we'll go to the moon again. That was fun.
Kon: She'll probably blush and tell me it was totally unnecessary, but really like it. Then we can fly home together.
Bernard: Sounds very sweet.
Kon: Oh, I've been to the moon.
Bernard: I don't doubt it.
Bernard: But yeah, he's at the door, so it's time to go.
Kon: Okay, have fun!
Kon: Don't forget to bring a condom!
Bernard: We won't be needing one. Tim doesn't sleep around, so he doesn't have STDs.
Bernard: Thanks for the tip, though.
Kon: Well, it'd be a shame if he got any, wouldn't it? Have fun!
Kon: Bye!
Bernard: Oh we will.
Bernard: Bye!
