Introduction
Shulk: Look, Reyn! This geological formation... It’s incredible!

Reyn: It sure is. This breeze ain’t bad either.

Shulk: Reyn, are you OK? You don’t normally want to talk about geology and the weather.

Reyn: Uh... OK, yeah, I’m a bit on edge. Just tell it to me straight, Shulk. Is it me or are there a ton of spiders around here?

Shulk: Yes, there are quite a few. Oh yeah! Now I remember!

Shulk: [You’re scared of spiders!] Reyn, are you OK? You don’t look so good.

Reyn: Sorry, Shulk. Mind if we take a break for a bit?

Shulk: That’s not a problem at all. Hmm. I’m just trying to think when your phobia started. If I remember right, it was that time when...

Reyn: Come on, man, don’t remind me!

Shulk: [I played a prank on you!] I’m sorry, Reyn. I shouldn’t have stuck that spider in your shoe.

Reyn: Too right you shouldn’t! When I went to put my shoe on I nearly jumped out of my skin! You should be glad it didn’t make me scared of shoes!

Shulk: Don’t make me feel bad! I said I was sorry.

Reyn: Yeah, I know. We were just kids back then, anyway. Boys will be boys and all that.

Shulk: That reminds me. Do you remember why I put that spider in your shoe?

Reyn: Umm... Not really.

Shulk: You hid a caterpillar in my sock drawer! Did you forget?

Reyn: Haha! Oh yeah... Sorry, man. Hey, Shulk, don’t you have a phobia? There’s something you’re afraid of, but I can’t remember what.

Shulk: It’s caterpillars, Reyn.

Reyn: Sorry, Shulk. Mind if we take a break for a bit?

Shulk: That’s not a problem at all. Hmm. I’m just trying to think when your phobia started. If I remember right, it was that time when...

Reyn: Come on, man, don’t remind me!

Shulk: [Fiora played a prank on you!] She stuck a spider in your food. It was hilarious!

'''Reyn: Oh yeah, that was gross! How could she do that?! Hey, wait a minute! That never happened! It was your fault!'''

Shulk: Wh-what? Are you sure?

Reyn: Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten. You stuck a spider in my shoe when we were kids.

Shulk: Oh... Uh... Sorry about that. Are you sure it was me?

'''Reyn: Yes! And for the record, I hated it! How could you forget that? It’s your fault I have this horrible fear of spiders!'''

Shulk: Hey, no need to make such a big deal out of it! I don’t even remember why I did it.

Reyn: Are you kidding me?! You did it because... Er... OK, I guess I don’t remember either.

Shulk: On the plus side... If we both forgot, it can’t have been much of a reason!

Reyn: ''Yes! He’s totally forgotten about the prank I played on him. And I can’t say I’m gonna complain!''

Shulk: [You love spiders!] All these strange and exciting spiders around... No wonder you look nervous! I bet you can barely contain your excitement!

Reyn: You must be kidding! I’m starting to feel sick just looking at the ugly things!

Shulk: Haha, gotcha! I was only joking, Reyn. Don’t be so uptight! It’s just a few creepy crawlies.

Reyn: For the record, it’s ‘cos of you that I have a phobia of spiders. I hope you haven’t forgot about what you did when we were kids.

Shulk: I remember. Relax. You know how sorry I was.

Reyn: You shouldn’t have done it in the first place, man! Why the heck did you have to go and stick a spider in my shoe?!

Shulk: [You were bugging me.] You put a caterpillar in my drawer, remember?

Reyn: Umm... Really? I sorta remember. I might have, but who knows?

'''Shulk: See! You’re the bad guy here. Why did you do it, Reyn?'''

Reyn: I dunno. Mmm... No, can’t remember.

Shulk: Well, that’s the end of that.

Reyn: Both of us have awful memories. Guess we’re two peas from the same pod!

Shulk: [It needed a good home.] If I recall, your shoe looked just the right size for the spider.

Reyn: Oi! Only my feet get to live in my shoes! No bugs allowed! I’ve had enough of this. I’m outta here, Shulk.

Shulk:You want to get moving already?

Reyn: Right! The spiders can stay away or suffer the consequences! You better watch your back too, Shulk! You’ll regret that prank!

Shulk: At least you’re back to your old self again!

Reyn: Hey, that’s not the point! Oh, forget it. You’re always one step ahead of me anyway.
