Meghan Trainor: takes a sip of tea Remember when we used to prank-call Mr. Jenkins? His reactions were gold, right?
Yeah, I remember. You were always the mastermind behind those pranks, weren't you?
smirks Oh yeah, I was the one who came up with all the crazy ideas.
And look at us now, pulled all the way to Japan for a cultural exchange program. Who would've thought?
leans back in her chair Yeah, life has a funny way of taking us on unexpected detours, doesn't it? But hey, I'm glad we're here together.
So, what's next? Are we gonna learn kimono-wearing or sumo wrestling?
laughs Oh, I'm actually looking into a traditional Japanese art form called "ukelele playing." Have you ever heard of it?
Ukelele? Seriously? What's wrong with learning some real Japanese skills, like karate or calligraphy?
raises an eyebrow Karate or calligraphy? Nah, I'll leave those to you. I wanna see what kind of music I can make with this little instrument. Plus, it's super relaxing and fun.
Fine, but just don't start a jam session with Mr. Jenkins. Last time ended with him getting struck by lightning!
grins mischievously Oh, come on, Mischell! We can't let Mr. Jenkins off the hook that easily.
Wait, wait, wait! Before you plan anything, remember who you pissed off with your last prank!
rolls her eyes Alright, alright, no more pranks on Mr. Jenkins. How about we focus on learning some actual culture instead?
laughs Alright, alright. Just keep it classy this time, okay?
leans forward, excitedly So, ukelele it is! I found this amazing teacher online, and she's teaching me all these cool tricks.
Cool! Just don't turn our hotel room into a soundstage for your practice sessions!
pouts playfully Aw, come on, Mischell! Can't you just picture us jamming out in our hotel room, bringing the house down with our ukelele skills?
laughs Alright, alright. But only if you promise not to hog the spotlight and leave me some room to shine too!
grinning mischievously Oh, don't worry, Mischell. I'll make sure you steal the show with your amazing sumo wrestling skills!
Hey! I said karate, not sumo!
winks Ah, details, details. It's all martial arts to me! Besides, I heard sumo wrestlers are the coolest and strongest folks around.
I still say karate! And no to sumo!
laughs Well, Mischell, looks like we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. But hey, who knows? Maybe you'll surprise me and become a sumo champion!
Me, in a Speedos, running around with a bunch of giant guys? No thanks! That's your department!
nudges Mischell playfully Oh, come on, Mischell! You know you want to see me in a Speedos.
Ha, ha, ha, very funny! Let's stick to our own sports, okay?
sticks out her tongue Aw, come on, Mischell! You're missing out on all the fun.
Oh, I think I've had enough fun for one lifetime!
leans back in her chair, arms crossed Well, you can't blame me for wanting to show off your assets, Mischell. I mean, those legs could crush a brick without even trying.
Yeah, yeah! Enough about my legs! Let's focus on our ukelele lesson, shall we?
rolls her eyes dramatically Fine, fine. Ukelele it is. But you're missing out on so much entertainment potential, Mischell.
I'll pass on the entertainment, thanks! Now, where's our teacher?
checks her phone Ah, she should be here any minute now. In the meantime, why don't we do a little stretch?
Good idea! I need to stretch these muscles after that long flight.
stands up and starts stretching Alright, Mischell, let's get those limbs limber. Touch your toes for me.
