Anyway, let's get back to the subject.

Mike: Hi, Sulley! Good to see you! What have you been up to?

Sullivan: I've been working a lot. I have heard that you've been working in a new screaming strategy.

Mike: Yeah, that's right. I woke up and asked myself: why we ran out of power last week?

Sullivan: I wonder if you found a good answer. More often than not you say weird things.

Mike: Yes, every once in a while. But now It's past. I will solve this energy issue.

Sullivan: I think you can't handle It. Mike: I wonder if you know something about screaming.

Sullivan: I wish i knew how it will be solved. Could you explain that?

Mike: First off, we need to work 6 hours more.

Sullivan: Are you crazy? I knew that you was strange.

Mike: I'm kidding, bro. We just need to adjust some "fear levels".

Sullivan: Oh, that's a good idea.

Bonnie: Carol, do you think we should go hiking this weekend?

Carol: Sure! We could explore that beautiful hidden trail I heard about.

Bonnie: But we should check the weather first. It could rain and hiking in the rain is horrible.

Carol: We might bring some waterproof cover just in case.

Bonnie: I should remember to pack some snacks and water. Hiking without it would be a huge mistake!

Carol: yeaah! We can take some pictures of the views. It's one of my favorite things to do.

Bonnie: Mine too! I love taking pictures, specialy when it comes to nature.

Carol: How about we start in the morning? So we can avoid the crowds.

Bonnie: Perfect! Waking up early could lead to a peaceful hike.
