Zach: I think it speaks fer itself that I don't exactly like bein' lied to in the first place, 'specially when it comes to my boy. On top o' that, I don't exactly appreciate wastin' police time. *Scoffs* Here I am chasin' an imaginary goose while fer all I know someone's house could be bein' broken into or Oldwyn knows what else?
Vanna: I'm sorry Zach...I didn't really...I mean...
Dorian: Ain't like it was just us monitorin' the calls Zach. The station is always runnin' full shifts leadin' up to Sam Hain. If somethin' more serious had come up on the radio, y'all can guarantee we woulda' diverted to workin' that job. *Chuckles* And as for the Corn Maze thang, wasn't my idea...but I don't tend to win arguments with yer Ma, whether I'm in the right 'er not...
Audrey: The fact that y'all think yer right some of those times is real cute Sweetie...
Dorian: What? I am!
Audrey: Y'all keep tellin' yerself that Darlin'...*Giggles*
Zach: Well all of y'all were wrong with that little stunt ya pulled on Marcus and Aiko. No wonder it blew up in yer faces...
Ada: Aww Comon' Goofball, lighten' up. We was just tryin' to help deez kids along...
Zach: Forcin' 'em more like! And don't call me Goofball! *Zach crosses his arms and pouts*. Y'all are obsessed with forcin' them pups into a romantic relationship...I already told y'all ya just gotta leave that sorta thing alone, and let it happen naturally iffin' it's bound to happen...not that I want it too 'er nothin'...
Ada: And youse wonder whys we had to keeps yous in the dark about dis...*Chuckles* You just don't want yas kid to grows up on yas...
Zach: *Huffs* O'course I don't! We didn't even get to raise Marcus from birth! So much lost time already, and now he's gettin' older and gettin' feelin's fer girls and...*Whines* Look, okay, I know, I know I'm holdin' on to tight, and I'm workin' on it...really...but...can ya fault me for wantin' just a little bit more time to be a Pa to my son a'fore he starts spreadin' his wings and fixin' to leave the nest?
Vanna: Goofball...
Dorian: *Puts a paw on Zach's shoulder* Son, I can't say I fully understand what ya'll are goin' through, since me and Auddey never adopted ourselves...but you know, bein' a Pa doesn't end when yer pups grow up and start a life on their own. Marcus is always gonna want y'all in his life, you have to know that.
Zach: *Whines* I-I know...I just...Raisin' Marcus...things feel like they're just flyin' by sometimes...and I just...I wanna enjoy what little time I have left to really be involved in his life...iffin' that makes sense?
Audrey: Aww...Darlin' I understand...
Zach: So that's why I ain't lookin' to rush thangs...o' course I'd still be hesitant to push Marcus and Aiko together even if I wasn't worried about makin' him grow up too fast...
Vanna: Because you think that's something they should figure out on their own?
Ada: But it's soooo obvious! Dey've been dancin' around dere feelin's fer months now! What's da harm in given' 'em a 'lil push?
Zach: It could ruin their friendship fer one, especially iffin' things don't work out...which more often than not tends to be the case with yer first girlfriend. *Zach starts counting on his paws.* Then there's the fact that pressurin' them like that, even if they ain't fully aware of it, could make them even more scared o' makin' that first move. *continues counting* And iffin' they do get together, findin' out you were nudgin' them along might complicate thier feelin's...should I keep goin'?
*The other Hunters look down guilty*
Zach: I mean, what did y'all actually accomplish with this crazy plan that couldn't have been accomplished by just lettin' 'em go through the maze themselves...chances are their friends woulda went and split them off anyway, 'er they woulda gravitated together cause they have feelin's fer each other... All that trouble and y'all probably woulda just got 'em to the same place regardless...in fact, it probably woulda went better fer 'em iffin' ya didn't meddle at all...
Qali: *eyes now brimming with tears* O-Oh no! We messed up big time, didn't we!?
Ada: Ehh...I wouldn't go dat far...but it's hard to disagree wit Zach on dis one...what was youse tinkin' Kit Kat!?
Vanna: *Shocked and clearly irritated* M-Me!? You were the ones who dragged me into this little scheme!
Audrey: I'd be lyin' if I said it was a success, that's fer sure...but...I-I still think them two made progress fer the better...
Dorian: Are y'all sayin' that cause you believe it, or cause you were the mastermind behind this little plan Darlin'?
Audrey: *Glares at Dori* Now don't you start!
Dorian: I'm just sayin' maybe if y'all let me be right a little more often, these little plans of yer's wouldn't blow up in yer face so often...*Chuckles*
Audrey: *Huffs and storms off*
Zach: I think y'all just earned yerself a spot on the sofa tonight fer that one Pa...
Dorian: I count bein' at a loss fer words a win in my book, so I'd say it's worth the cost. *Laughs*
