[Simon's feeling kind of down on his luck today; Denzel's gone, Cloud's still with Tifa, and Anise's kidnapping is sort of the icing on the cake. He's hanging out by the southern river closest to the shop plaza, attempting to skip stones.

Someone come cheer the kid up?]

I'm sorry... I'll try to cheer up! You're right, Denzel would want me to be happy, whether he's here or not.

[MAKES A "PFT" SOUND AND JUST GIVES HIM A HEAD NOOGIE.] Now ya got it!

Now give it another go. [JERKS HIS HEAD TO THE WATER] So long as ya ain't thinkin' about things ta hold ya back, there ain't nothin' ya can't do.

Mm. [Simon purses his lips, trying to relax and clear his mind of just about anything besides getting that stone to skip. Maybe if he thought of it like a drill, digging over the surface of the water...!

And that's how the stone he finally flings skips four times and buries itself in the grass on the other side of the river. |Db]

...Um.

Yeeeaah!! Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

[HAVE A HEARTY SMACK TO THE BACK :D] Knew ya had it in ya!

[Ouch, that'll leave a mark.]

...I didn't think it'd go that far...!

[NOT THE FIRST NOR THE LAST /O/]

And that's only the beginnin', Simon! [CLAMPS HIS ARM AROUND THE BOY'S SHOULDER AS HE POINTS ACROSS THE RIVER] You can make things go as far as ya want ta take 'em! And ya don't have ta think of how ta do it, just DO it!

[AND NOW FOR THE SIGNATURE POSE: POINT TO THE HEAVENS!] Even through the heavens and beyond!

So whenever somethin' happens, don't worry about it. Ya either blow right through it or take it with you and use it as strength. Take Denzel's memory and never forget it. But don't let him hold ya back. Ya gotta keep movin' and bring him with ya.
