Tina: I did it, I did it! Ha!
If only Danny and Brad could see me now!
Tina: Hopian! Hopian! It's me, Tina!
Tina: It's you, it's you! I'm so happy to see you!
Bello: Tina? Is that you?
Tina: Of course it's me!
Don't you remember me?
Bello: I haven't forgotten, Tina, even though it was [n3@a long time ago. Come inside.
Tina: What do you mean "a long time"?
It wasn't that long ago.
Bello: Tina, time works differently in my world than it does in yours.
Tina: But you recognize me, don't you, Hopian?
Bello: Tina, I'm not Hopian. I'm Bello.
Tina: Bello? You're little Bello?
Bello: I'm not so little anymore.
Tina: You look exactly like your dad!
Hopian: Well, not exactly like his dad. Hello, Tina.
Tina: Hopian, it's you!
Hopian: Be careful! I'm not as young as I used to be.
Tina: But I don't understand.
It's only been a week since I saw you.
Bello: I tried to explain it to her, Dad.
Hopian: Tina, have a seat.
Hopian: It's been fifteen years since you left.
Bello: And they have been fifteen happy years for Ginormous.
Hopian: That's right. Your deeds and your friends' deeds [n3@have not been forgotten.
Tina: So, Hopian, you're . . . old?
Hopian: Yes, Tina. I'm old now.
Tina: But I need your help.
You have to come back to my world.
Hopian: Why, what's the problem?
Tina: You have to help Danny.
Hopian: Is Danny in trouble?
Tina: It's terrible! Danny is full of hate.
Tina: It's because of some bullies.
They always pick on him.
Tina: Now, Danny wants revenge, and he convinced Brad to help.
Bello: That doesn't sound good.
Tina: Danny won't listen to me.
I'm worried that he will become like Tristay!
Tina: I saw him cry black tears, just like Tristay did when he turned evil.
Hopian: Black . . . tears? Danny had black tears?
Tina: You have to come with me, Hopian. You have to.
Hopian: I would like to, Tina.
But I'm too old for an adventure like that.
Bello: Tina, Dad's old now.
He's not as healthy as he used to be.
Tina: But what . . . what am I going to do?
Bello: I think I know someone who can help.
Tina: Really? Who?
