Maggie: "ONLY ONE THIN WALL SEPARATED THEM, "AND EVERY NIGHT, HE WOULD READ HER THE POETRY HE'D WRITTEN.

NOW I HAVE TO WRITE POETRY?
HELLO, LOVE STORY?
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
UH, LET'S SEE.
CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE PINK, MANDARINS ARE ORANGE.
WHEN I SEE YOU, I CAN'T THINK-- UH, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO RHYME WITH ORANGE.

HMM.

THANK YOU, OH, HONORED SCHOLAR, FOR THAT INCREDIBLE BIT OF REASONING.

REALLY?
YAY!
Maggie: "YING-YING WAS THRILLED AT THIS AWESOME OPPORTUNITY "FOR CHANG TO WIN HER.
PLUS SHE LOVED DIM SUM."
IT'S ALL BITE SIZE!
WAIT A MINUTE.
DO YOU MEAN ME?
HELLO?
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
ACTUALLY, I THINK I HAVE AN IDEA.
