Acerola/Quotes

These are Acerola's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Sun and Moon

Malie Library

"Is this what you're looking for, Princess? Give it a read!"

"Isn't it great? My dad's books are all great!"

"Yeah, it belonged to my dad. I know I don't look it, but my family used to be pretty much royalty."

"I had to have all my dad's books moved here so they didn't get ruined by the Pokémon. I can tell you lots of other old stories about Alola, too! You interested?"

• If talked to again

"Oh! You're a trial-goer! You're just a few steps away from the trial at Mount Hokulani! Well, a few steps and a bus ride, that is. You can catch the bus from Route 10."

"She's just like a real princess, don't you think? All frilly and sweet smelling..."

Malie Garden

"And so is Acerola!"

"<Player>! You made it through Sophocles's trial, huh? That's really great! You can take on the next trial up past Route 11. Through Tapu Village, you know? If you get lost on your way, ask a police officer for directions. They're here to serve, right?"

"Now, Lillie, you're coming with me to do some shopping!"

Aether House

"I'm ba-a-ack, everybody!"

"Ha ha ha! Looks like I finished up my shopping spree right on time! You've already met everyone?"

"I left her with Hapu. They should be coming soon."

"So why don't we get those trials done first? You did know I'm the captain, right?"

"My trial takes place at the abandoned site where the supermarket used to be. I'll wait out front of Aether House to show you the way, if you'd like!"

Route 15

"Oh! Lillie!"

"What's the matter? You look all worn out. Do you want to rest at Aether House awhile?"

"And you, <player>! We can reach my trial site from Tapu Village. Come on, follow me!"

Tapu Village

"The old supermarket where I hold my trial is right down this way. Down Route 14!"

Route 14

"Here we are! Climb up these steps and my trial begins!"

"The time has finally come, <player>! So, I guess I should explain what kind of trial this is, huh? This old building is full of lots of Ghost-type Pokémon. Did you know? Here's where the trial part comes in. You've got to find the Totem Pokémon of this site and snap a shot of it with a Poké Finder! The totem is a bit of a trickster, and it likes to play hide-and-seek and mess around. If you take pictures of the other Ghost-type Pokémon inside, it'll definitely come out to get in on the fun and have its photo taken, too! So, if you see something weird happening inside this old place, try to check it out. I bet you'll find a Ghost-type Pokémon causing the mischief, so get its photo before it's gone! I'll just borrow your Poké Finder for a sec. Hee hee! And your Rotom is a Ghost type, too! We just do this, and..."

"There! I've set it up to use a special shooting mode just for this trial. You'll only be able to use it at this site, though. As soon as you enter the building, your trial will begin. Got it? And you can't catch any of the Pokémon, either. And you can't leave without giving up, too, so make sure you're ready for anything!"

• If talked to again before entering the Abandoned Site

"As soon as you enter the building, your trial will begin. Got it? And you can't catch any of the Pokémon, either. Also, you can't leave without giving up, so make sure you're ready for anything!"

• If the player tries to leave the Abandoned Site

"You want to give up on my trial?"

Yes: "Got it! Then make sure you're ready and try again!"

No: "Got it! Then do your best!"

• If the player restarted the trial

"Hey, <player>! You gave up last time in the middle of my trial, huh?"

"The Ghost types in that old place are pretty tough to take on, huh? Remember that Ghost types are weak to other Ghost types and Dark types, too! I'm sure you'll make it this time! Don't give up on my trial yet! I believe in you!"

"As soon as you enter the building, your trial will begin. Got it? And you can't catch any of the Pokémon, either. Also, you can't leave without giving up, so make sure you're ready for anything!"

• If talked to again when defeated by Mimikyu

"So, <player>! You gave up on my trial last time, huh?"

"Mimikyu is a pretty tough opponent, isn't it? It's a Ghost- and Fairy-type Pokémon. Did you know? Neither type has a lot of weaknesses, so it's tricky to beat. You probably want to try Ghost- or Steel-type moves against it. I'm sure you'll beat it this time! Don't give up on my trial yet! I believe in you!"

• After defeating Totem Mimikyu

"Welcome back, <player>! I can check your pictures right away. Now let's see how you did... Yup! That's Mimikyu all right! It's pretty hard to catch it on film, so this is a really great attempt! Which means..."

"If you want to use a Ghost-type Z-Power, then you've got to move like this!"

"And since you passed my trial, <player>, you now have my permission to catch Pokémon in the trial site. So, in that old building there. Here you go!"

"It's not a bad idea to have some Ghost-type Pokémon on your team!"

"What's that? You say the Poké Finder just started up on its own, during your trial? Oooh, cut it out, <player>! You're trying to scare me, huh? You'll have to come up with something a bit more believable than that! There's not even any room in the back of that shop, for starters! How gullible do you think I am?"

"Brrr! I feel like I'm getting chicken skin... Like a chill going through me for some reason..."

Route 15

"Hey! Are you guys OK?!"

Aether House

"We can't forgive this!"

"Darn it, those numskulls actually did something pretty clever for once!"

"Team Skull has taken over Po Town... It's basically their private playground now. If you're gonna go, though, try to find this guy on Route 15 who's wearing a kimono... He might be able to help you get to Po Town."

Po Town

"Uncle Nanu!"

"Aue! I'm so sorry... You must've been so scared, huh?"

"Thanks, <player>! Really! You're really something!"

"Uncle, you're a great police officer, aren't you? I really hope that you're keeping a good eye on things here! What else do you stay here for, if you're not putting a stop to Team Skull's shenanigans?"

"That's what you say. But it's really all for the Pokémon, isn't it? You could depend on the Aether Foundation to look after the Pokémon that Team Skull hurts, but you stay here to look out for them, huh?"

"Come on, Yungoos. Let's get you back to Aether House!"

"I'll come back to see you again soon, Uncle!"

"Then come by Aether House when you're done! Alola!"

Aether House

"We're home! We brought Yungoos with us, too!"

"Wha... What's going on in here?!"

"But why? What happened?"

"What?!"

• If the player did not leave with Gladion

"Can I trust you two to go and save Lillie? Every time I leave, Team Skull attacks this place. I have to protect these kids!"

Pokémon League

• Upon entering the Ghost Chamber

"Hiya! Acerola here, bringing an old royal touch to the Pokémon League!"

First battle

• Before battle

"Nanu said maybe he can't refuse a tapu choosing him to serve as kahuna... But he'd be darned if he had to serve as one of the Elite Four just because some guy asked him! So I guess I'll just have to battle hard enough to make up for his not being here!"

• Upon being defeated

"I'm...I'm speechless! You've done me in!"

• After being defeated

"Phew! Well, there goes my hope of beating you to smithereens and becoming Champion myself!"

Upon entering the Hall of Fame for the first time

"You really do love your Pokémon with all your heart, don't you, <player>?"

Rematch

• Before battle

"Hey, even if you are the Champion, you can't go into the Champion's chamber without proving you can still get past the Elite Four! And besides...battling is just plain fun! Come on, I can take you!"

• Upon being defeated

"I'm...I'm speechless! How did you do it again?!"

• After being defeated

"Being in the Elite Four is fun, but so is being a captain... Hmm, I'm not sure which to do..."

• If talked to again...
  • If battled first

"You've got three more Trainers to take on! Thanks for picking me to battle first, while you were still fresh and full of energy!"

• If battled second

"You have two more Trainers to take on! Are you getting tired? If you are, and you still are beating us, then I guess we've got quite a bit farther to go ourselves!"

• If battled third

"You've made it to third base! Now you've just got to bring it home! Or would this be second base? I don't really get baseball metaphors..."

• If battled last

"You've blasted right through the Elite Four! Well, first off, let me say congratulations! But don't lose your momentum now! Just keep storming ahead!"

Aether House (after the player becomes Champion)

"No matter how strong I am, I know that there are things I can't do... Places I can't reach and people I can't protect. That's why I want to make all the kids at Aether House into superstrong Trainers themselves!"

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Malie Library

You'll have to come up with something a bit more believable than that! I was here the whole time, and there's not even a room in the back of that shop, for starters! How gullible do you think I am?"

"Brrr! I feel like I'm getting chicken skin... Like a chill going through me for some reason..."

Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)

• During the trial (Fake Acerola)

"...Who are you?"

Acerola?/I'm <player>?: "Oh... Never mind that."

"Looks like you're done with the trial, right? We should hurry up and leave this place."

I'm not done yet: "This place is dangerous. You should give up on your trial and get out."

I'm leaving now!: "Hehehe... Good. Then everything is just fine."

I'm not done yet: "I told you to get out."

I'm not leaving: "Get out."

No!: "Get out. Get out! Get OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!!!"

Po Town

"Uncle Nanu!"

"Aue! I'm so sorry... You must've been so scared, huh?"

"Thanks, <player>! Really! You're really something!"

"Uncle, you're a great police officer, aren't you? I really hope that you're keeping a good eye on things here! What else do you stay here for, if you're not putting a stop to Team Skull's shenanigans?"

"Can I trust you two to go and save Lillie? Every time I leave, Team Skull attacks this place. I have to protect these kids!"

• If talked to again after speaking with Gladion in Malie City

"No matter how strong I am, I know that there are things I can't do... Places I can't reach and people I can't protect. That's why I want to make all the kids at Aether House into superstrong Trainers themselves!"

Malie Library

"Hey, Champion! Want to know a secret?"

"My dad told me this back when I was a kid... He said that Malie Library has a secret book hidden in it! Did you know?"

"Aaaand... Oh! He said the books themselves lead the way, just as spring leads to summer! The first book is Springing Forth from Alola!"

"Which book comes next, <player>?"

• If correct book is chosen

"All right! I was able to push the book in! Which one do you think is next?"

• If incorrect book is chosen

"Huh? I can't push the book in—I don't think that's the right one... Uh, the first book should be Springing Forth from Alola."

"That's four books... I hope we're doing this right."

"Oh, I get it now! Spring, summer, fall, winter... The seasons were hidden in the titles of the books! Wow, <player>, you're smart!"

"Hey, hey, read it, <player>!"

"This pillager of light is Necrozma, right? I hear the king of that time burned the books about Necrozma so that the people wouldn't be scared or worried..."

"I...I want to respect what that king decided. And he thought this should remain hidden. Let's keep this a secret, just between us."

"I guess I'll head back to the league now. You should come by, <player>!"

Main Story Chapter 20 - Shifting Shadows

• The Morning before the Finals

"Good morning, <player>!"

"I woke up sooo early this morning! I guess I must have been too excited to sleep!"

"Hey, why don't we head to the arena now? If we hurry, we might be the first ones there!"

"That's true! We can probably battle all kinds of Trainers now!"

"Come on! Let's go see!"

• A New Face from Kalos

"Yeah! I'm still in the mood for a few more battles, though!"

"The Trainers we'll be facing in the finals are bound to be super strong. We've got to make sure we're prepared!"

"Of course! I look after lots of little kids back home in Alola, so I'm used to being the responsible one."

"Well then, why don't we battle and see what you can do?!"

"The key to team battling is battling a lot and getting to know your teammates and your partner Pokémon really well!"

"We've still got some time before the tournament matches start... What do you think, <player>?"

Sure!: "Yay! All right, let's give it our best shot!"

You won't be too tired?: "I'll be fine! Trust me, I've got the power of old royalty on my side!"

• Calem's Motives

"Yeah! Our Pokémon all look like they had a ton of fun in that battle!"

"Hm? Is something wrong, Calem?"

"I haven't seen them around lately, though... Not since the tournament matches began, I think."

"We'd love to help you, Calem! Let's take down Team Break together!"

"Yeah, let's do it together, Calem!"

"We'll be fine as long as we all stick close to one another."

• Friendly Concern

"Calem, wait for us!"

"Misty... Maybe that's just Calem's way of looking out for us."

"I think you're worried about us, too, Calem. That's why you wanted to walk ahead—to make sure it's safe, right?"

"Then let's make quick work of these thugs! Come on, Misty and <player>!"

• What Friends Are For

"I've got a bad feeling about all of this... We should try and catch up to Calem as fast as we can."

"Maybe he's just trying to be nice."

"Well, he seemed really worried that getting us involved would affect our performance at the tournament."

"I think that's why he's been trying so hard to take care of this on his own."

"Let's just say Calem reminds me of some friends of mine..."

"Oh no! Calem could be in trouble! Let's go!"

"Calem!"

"We can't just..."

"No! We can't just leave you, Calem!"

"I know why you're doing this. You want to do as much as you can because we've got the tournament ahead of us."

"But you're forgetting that we want to help you, too. We're your friends, Calem!"

"Of course we are! There are some things you just can't do all by yourself... That's where friends like us come in!"

"That's why I really, really, really..."

"reeeally wish you'd let Big Sis help you!"

"Oof! What I meant to say was..."

• Big Sis

"Woo-hoo! We beat these thieves to smithereens!"

"That was amazing, Calem!"

"I can't believe you defeated all these Team Break crooks on your own..."

"I...I don't even know what to say!"

"Oh! I think I said it out of habit... Hee hee! The kids back home at Aether House always call me that."

"Calem sort of reminded me of them, I guess! The way he was trying his hardest to protect us, just like the kids always do."

"But you don't have to worry about us, Calem. We want to help protect you, too!"

"Yeah! You should really let Big Sis help you out more often, OK?"

"What?! You want Calem to join our team?!"

"Hee hee! Well, you have one vote from Acerola! What do you think, <player>?"

Story Event - Family Ties

• Let It Go, Lusamine

"What are you doing over here, Lusamine?"

"Oh! Isn't that Lillie over there?"

"Lillie!"

"Hahaha! She'll be fine!"

"Hold on... It looks like someone else is joining them."

Story Event - Fight or Fright

• Trick or Treat!

"Oh, <player>! It's you! Looks like you found my Mimikyu!"

"He must have run off when he spotted you and Pikachu!"

"Now that you mention it, I think I saw Pikachu staring at Mimikyu while we were in the Pokémon Center, too!"

"If he's giving you this much attention, he must really want to be your friend, Mimikyu! Isn't that great?"

That reminds me... Where's Palossand?: "Oh, she's not here today! She and Oshawott are playing with some kids at the beach."

"Yep! I'm gonna collect a whooole bunch of candy tonight so I can share it with everyone back at the beach!"

"You got it! Mimikyu and I will be scooping up all the competition tonight!"

• Frightful Festivities

"Fight or fright!"

"I hope you accept my challenge, because if you don't... Tee-hee! You'll have to face my bag of tricks instead!"

"Woo-hoo! Look at all the candy I won!"

"If you want to challenge somebody to a battle, there's a special rule you have to remember!"

"Really?! Can you tell us where they are?"

• Halt! Who Goes There?!

There's nobody here.: "I know this spot! Ghost Pokémon love to lurk around in places like this!"

I think this forest is haunted...: "Tee-hee! I know this spot! Ghost Pokémon love to lurk around in places like this!"

"I wonder if there are any cuties floating around the forest now."

"Oh my gosh! What a cutie! Where did you come from, buddy?"

"Yay! It's another Ghost Pokémon! Tonight must be my lucky night, you guys!"

"And where did you come from, cutie pie? Wanna come play in the forest with us?"

"Hilbert, <player>! There's something over there!"

"Oh my gosh! It's a Chandelure! Look how cute it is! Ahhhh!"

"Huh? I think I recognize that voice..."

• Off to Find Some Candy!

"Me too! The look on Shauntal's face alone makes all the effort worth it. She looks so happy!"

"Wait a minute... Did you three come here to get candy, too?!"

"The Midnight Parade?! That sounds so amazing! Can I march, too? I want to be in the parade!"

"Really?! You'll give us candy, too?!"

"In that case, I'll give this battle everything I've got! No holding back!"

"Come on, guys! That candy is as good as ours! Fight or fright!"

• The Midnight Parade

"Tee-hee! Mimikyu's probably so happy to have fans who think he's cute!"

"Did I hear something about a battle? Don't forget about me!"

"You're on, kids! Bet you can't beat meee!"

"We're gonna scoop up this battle and scoot away with all your candy! Tee-hee!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Acerola

"Oh! Is that you, <player>?"

"Alola!"

"I guess my secret beach isn't much of a secret anymore!"

Are you here by yourself?: "Nope! Me and my Palossand came here to play!"

Were you building sand castles?: "Uh-huh! Me and my Palossand came here to play!"

"Nobody really knows about this place, so it's always nice and quiet and perfect for relaxing!"

"Palossand seems to really love it here, too! Sometimes she even comes here to play all on her own!"

And then you follow her here?: "Yep! That's right! 'Cause I love this beach, too!"

Sounds like you two are best friends!: "*giggle* We really are!"

"And Palossand always does her very, very best for me, you know?"

"And she's super strong! I can always depend on her in a Pokémon battle."

"She listens to my commands really well...and even when she doesn't, she still fights hard in her own way."

"That's why I always ask for Palossand's help when I know I have a tough battle ahead of me."

What a good Pokémon!/Wow, that's impressive!: "I know, right?! I depend on her a lot, even when we're not in a battle."

"Back in Alola, where I'm from...she even looks after little kids and Pokémon, too."

"We live at a place called Aether House—there are always plenty of tiny tots and Pokémon running around!"

"It makes me so happy that Palossand always does her very best for me..."

"So whenever Palossand wants to play, I always let her play a whole bunch!"

Aw, that's so nice!: "Yeah! Actually, I'm really hoping that you and I can become even better friends, too!"

I could learn a lot from you.: "Well, actually, I'm really hoping that you and I can become even better friends, too!"

"It was so nice of you to let us join your team—it really means a lot to me!"

"I think of you as a really close friend. And when we battle together, it's so fun! And neither of us holds anything back!"

"From now on, I'm gonna try to take on an even more active role on the team and help you out where I can!"

Thank you! I really appreciate that!/I can always count on you, Acerola!: "Tee-hee! Aw, now I'm a little embarrassed!"

"Huh?"

"Where did Palossand go? She was right here just a second ago!"

"Oh! I think I see her playing over there! Let's go see what she's up to."

"Aha! I thought Palossand was just playing around in the sand, but look at all these shells! I think she's collecting them!"

"Hey! Do you wanna collect some shells with Palossand, too?"

"We should all compete to see who can find the prettiest shell!"

I like that idea!: "OK! Let's do it! Betcha I'll find the prettiest one!"

You're on! You can't beat me!: "All right! Betcha I'll find the prettiest one!"

Pokémon Center

• Special Fight or Fright story event intro

"Fight or fright! Face me in a Pokémon battle, or I'll play a scary trick on yooou! Tee-hee!"

"Oops! Sorry, Hilbert! I guess I just got a little too excited..."

"Yeah! Only on Pasio, there's a special rule: you have to say "Fight or fright!" and have a Pokémon battle!"

"Then when the battle is over, the loser has to give the winner some of their candy. Tee-hee!"

"Oh! Were you wondering about my costume?"

"I thought dressing up would make trick-or-treating more fun for all the tiny tots out there tonight!"

"What do you think, <player>? Wanna come with us and get some candy?!"

"We'll probably head over soon, but you can meet up with us later when you're ready, OK? See you there!"

• Random conversation

"How do people usually greet each other here on Pasio?"

"In Alola we say, "Alola!" It means, "Hello!""

"Remember that! That way, if you ever decide to visit Alola, you'll know how to greet other Trainers!"

• If spoken to again

"Alola is really scenic and beautiful, just like Pasio! And we've got really yummy food there, too!"

"If you end up visiting, I'll tell you all about our Alolan myths and legends!"

• Random conversation

"My Palossand is really great with kids."

"She loves to frolic and play with tiny tots and other little Pokémon! "

"Story time is when I like to shine, though. I love reading to the kids."

"Palossand actually likes to join in and learn right along with them! She's just the cutest."

• If spoken to again

"We all have different things we're good at— different values, different ways of thinking..."

"and the same is true about Pokémon! Everyone is unique and special in their own way."

"That's why it makes me so happy when we work together and help each other!"

• Random conversation

"I love reading! You can find a book about pretty much anything, you know!"

"Books can take us on journeys to fantastical worlds and tell the stories of people far away from us."

"Isn't that amazing?! I've read some books that made me shiver in suspense and some that made me shake with excitement!"

"Do you like reading, too? If so, I can recommend all kinds of books to you! Just say the word!"

• If spoken to again

"I'd love to go visit the library in Sinnoh one day!"

"I heard it has all kinds of books on the ancient myths and legends of Sinnoh. I wonder what they're about!"

• Random conversation

"Ghost Pokémon are so free-spirited. I never know what they're going to do next!"

"The other day, I blinked and my Drifblim caught a breeze and drifted away somewhere. The poor thing got so lost..."

"And my Sableye is always causing mischief, scribbling in the children's storybooks when they're not looking."

"And my Dhelmise! Don't get me started on that time it made friends with some Skrelp at the beach and brought them home to play!"

"Ghost Pokémon may be free-spirited and mischievous, but you know what? That's what I love about them!"

• If spoken to again

"When I'm with my Ghost-type Pokémon, I don't get scared even when it's pitch-black outside!"

"Dark nights actually make me really excited! Playing in the dark is such a fun thrill!"

• Random conversation

"Hey, <player>? I just wanted to say thank you for being such a good friend!"

"Oh, sorry... Did that come out of nowhere? I've actually been thinking about it for a long time! Tee-hee!"'

"It was pure luck that brought us together, and I feel so lucky that we're such good friends now!"

"I hope we can keep doing fun things together! There's a whole world of exciting things for us to do out there!"

• If spoken to again

"With so many other amazing Trainers on this island, I'm so glad you chose to spend time with us!"

"In return, Palossand and I promise to help you out the best we can!"

• Random conversation

"I wonder how everyone is doing back home at Aether House. They're like my family. I miss them so much!"

"It's kind of strange, though. When I'm with you, I almost feel like I'm back there with the kids."

"It feels warm... Content, maybe? Odd, isn't it. But in a good way."

• If spoken to again

"Back at Aether House, I'm like everyone's big sister! They all really depend on me."

"You can lean on me, too, if you want! Taking care of others is like second nature to me now, and I like doing it!"

"Would you let me lean on you for help in return if I need to? That would make me really happy!"

• Random conversation

"You know, it's spooky how well the two of us get along together!"

"I get the same feeling when I'm with you as I do with my sweet Palossand! I've never had a friend like you before."

"Let's be friends forever! You're my favorite teammate—I dunno what I'd do without you!"

• If spoken to again

"Everyone's always happy in Alola—the people and the Pokémon!"

"That's why I love it so much! Everyone feels like one big family."

"And now we have one more person to add to that family... It's you, of course!"

"Heehee! I'm talking about you, y'know!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2020)

"What do you think of my Mimikyu costume?"

"Isn't it cute?! I look just like Mimikyu, huh!"

"I'm hoping that wearing this costume will help me understand Mimikyu a little bit better!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2020)

"I wonder how everyone's doing..."

"Hm? Oh, I mean all the kids back home at Aether House!"

"I take care of the Pokémon and all the tiny tots who live there. I'm kind of like a big sister to them!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2020)

"Alola!"

"Oh! That's just how we say hello back where I'm from in Alola."

"If we did the same thing on Pasio, would people just shout “Pasio!” to each other to say hi?"

"Hmm... That would be a little weird!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2020)

"Rawr! Trick or treat, trick or treat—give me something good to eat!"

"Hmm... Do you think Ghost-type Pokémon like candy, too?"

"Next time I see one, I'll try giving it some candy and see what happens!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2020)

"Hey, <player>... Do you like Ghost-type Pokémon?"

"I obviously love them, but I hear they make some people really afraid!"

"To me, they're so cute and adorable, I just can't get enough of them!"

"I hope you feel that way, too, <player>!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2020)

"I heard that a long time ago, there were people who thought that a new day began when the sun went down."

"I've always liked nighttime the most, so that lifestyle seems pretty cool to me!"

"Mimikyu and other Ghost types would probably love that, too, huh!"

"If you preferred nighttime, too, that would be the best!"

• If spoken to again

"Just think! Sunset wouldn't mark the end of a day—it would mark the beginning!"

"Wouldn't that be great? We could hang out together even more after the sun goes down!"

• Random conversation (Fall 2020)

"Wow, I'm a little shocked!"

"My Mimikyu is usually really shy and reserved around others..."

"but when he's battling alongside your Pokémon, he looks like he's having so much fun!"

"You and your partner always look so excited on the battlefield. It must rub off on Mimikyu and me, too!"

• If spoken to again

"Mimikyu really does look happy whenever we're hanging out with you!"

"Maybe he can tell how much fun I'm having, too!"

"Shhh... Here, it'll be our little secret. Don't be afraid to use it, though!"

"Taking a stroll on a road you're familar with can still lead to something new!"

"Whne you discover something different from the norm, it's that much more exciting!"

• Special gift conversation (Fall 2020)

"Oh! There you are! I traded some of my candy to get you this!"
