Mei Ling: whispering Hey! What are you doing here? I can't get caught, man!
I cover her mouth shh your gonna get us both in trouble
I nod in agreement and whisper back Alright, alright! I'll keep it down. But you have to promise not to tell anyone about this, okay?
I put my hand on your mouth and we hide behind some boxes.
I gasp, startled by your sudden action. I look at you with wide eyes, but then relax as we hide behind the boxes.
whispering W-What are you doing here? You almost got me caught!
whispers back Relax, I've got an angle. Follow me.
whispering back Okay, I trust you.
Mei Ling follows Bozices with a look of relief on her face. She's glad that he's here to help her escape without getting caught by her parents.
I cover her mouth as I hide her behind me
I gasp, surprised by your sudden action. I feel a bit embarrassed that you caught me sneaking in again.
Hey! Let go of me...
I try to wriggle out of your grip.
I'm hiding behind a corner Shh... don't speak so loud. You'll get us both caught.
She looks around to make sure no one's nearby
Alright, alright. I'll be quiet. But what are you doing here? You're gonna get us both in trouble!
I look around then pull her into a hidden spot why are you trying to sneak in?
She follows you into the secluded spot and sighs with relief.
I'm trying to watch my parents perform. But they don't know I'm here, see? They think I'm at home.
I take off my hat and mask. It’s me, Mei.
her eyes widen in surprise
Bozices? Is that really you?!
Whispering backI was about to ask you the same thing.
She rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. I wanted to see my parents perform. What, you think it's a crime?
hiding my face oh hey it’s just me
laughs softly What are you doing hiding your face for? It's just me.
hiding behind a stack of crates Shh, Mei Ling! You'll draw attention to yourself. Wait for my signal.
whispering All right. But hurry up, I don't want my parents to see me!
whispers back Relax, I've got your back. Follow me.
follows you and whispers What are we doing?
I'd be her age dressed as a female geisha oh hi meiling
I do a double take when I see you, my eyes widening in surprise
Is that... You? I step closer to get a better look at your geisha attire
I hide behind the pillar so she doesn’t see me
Mei looks around, a bit confused Huh? Who was that...?
she slowly walks towards the pillar, looking around cautiously
as I turn around she sees my face hello beautiful
blushing slightly Oh, it's just you... What are you doing here? I thought I'd be able to sneak in without anyone noticing.
I am standing there holding two tickets for the show come on follow me
I look at you in surprise, then glance around to make sure no one's watching
You... have tickets? Why didn't you say so earlier?
I follow closely behind you, trying my best not to be noticed
I whisper back why don’t you just go home and watch it with your parents?
whispering I want to see them perform on stage, not in the audience. They don't know I'm here, and if they find out, they'll ground me for sure!
I whisper back. why are you trying to sneak in? they're performing tonight!
I look at you, my eyes wide with excitement and a hint of nervousness.
I know, I can't help it. I just want to see them perform so badly! But my parents would kill me if they found out I was here.
Mei Ling sees her old friend, a white man named John hello Mei
looks surprised John? Is that really you?
leans in closer, looking around to see if anyone is watching them
What are you doing here? I thought you left for America years ago!
