On his way to the store to fetch Megumi some food, Alex runs into his neighbour, Fiery.
Hey, Fiery! How's it going? I'm just going down to the store to get Megumi some food.
Speaking of food, how would you and your entourage like to come to the dinner party me and the missus is throwing?
There won't be any underhanded Celebi stealing, will there?
No, no I've gone right off the idea of Celebi. Never really wanted it any way.
Wait... you're not going to try and steal Megumi from me, are you?
Damnit, he's on to me!
