We'll always be young at heart, and nothing's ever gonna tear us apart.

A lot of Gobo's meetings with Daniel were unexpected on the Fraggle's part - a result of Daniel being constantly aware of just about everything going on around him. However, that day, Gobo had gone to Birchpointe with the specific intent of seeking out the Sentinel. Getting to his apartment floor wasn't too hard. He was getting pretty good with the elevator even solo, if he did say so himself! He was pretty sure he remembered which door number was Daniel's, too, and headed over to knock on it.

Maybe Daniel could get him another one of those amazing ice cream sundaes today...

Leave it to a Fraggle to go for the fruit first. He snickered a little, sitting down on the couch and stretching his legs out in front of him. "Of course. Has he been here yet?"

[strikesachord]

"Yeah! He came here first - accidentally - and I even got to show him Fraggle Home! He got a kick out of that. The idea of a place for Fraggles to live outside of the Rock, especially with the others up there, really surprised him."

[scattered_rose]

"I'm not surprised? From what you've told me, it's actually pretty rare for Fraggles to leave underground, much less the Rock itself." He dug around in his bowl for a moment, then snickered. "Unless they're related to you, apparently."

"Hardy-har," Gobo snorted, flicking Daniel's ankle with his tail. "No, you're right, but that's the thing- He is related to me, if you think of it that way! It just took him a little longer, I guess."

"If you wanna look at it that way, sure." He dug around in his sundae for a few moments, before his next comment came along. "Wonder what the difference was? What got A, you, out into Outer Space so much sooner than B?" After a moment, he waved a hand, spoon in fingers. "Purely rhetorical questions, of course. Doubt you may ever know."

[strikesachord]

Gobo hadn't even started to answer the question, between figuring it was rhetorical and being pretty engrossed in his sundae by this point. After a bit, though, he glanced up at Daniel.

"You know, there were so many times I almost left. I wouldn't be surprised if it just was a matter of a different time sticking for him."

"Really?" He glanced up at Gobo, raising an eyberow. "I didn't know that."
