Samurai was about to say something regarding Dynamo's comment about his Mach 5 kart, but bad news can wait. Better to let the racers have their moment for now. So while everyone heads to the stage, Samurai hangs back with Kronos and Shadow.

At the stage, two familiar ponies from the start of the event step up to talk to the press. "Ladies and gentlecolts, the first ever Friendshire Kart Race has come to a close. And while we have witnessed who crossed the finish line, there have been moments that needed a final judgement. So before we declare the winners, let's turn one more time to Straightaway Fairplay." Elusive Facts explains, talking into her microphone before turning to her partner. "Obviously, anyone who cheated, forfeit, or wrecked their kart beyond repair was disqualified. That includes Samurai Equine, Kronos, Rolling Rush..." Straightaway speaks into his own microphone and names off every racer that is disqualified. "...And that being said, an issue has come to our attention. The footage was reviewed carefully. During the race, Dynamo Pad and Pencil Heart temporarily took on a 3rd passenger. Upon careful examination of the footage and after conducting an independent investigation..."

Straightaway pauses and pulls out an envelope, reading the final judgement to himself and drawing out the suspense. "...The judges have determined that the surprise passenger was NOT pre-planned, there was no attempt or intent to cheat, and the arrival of the mystery passenger will NOT disqualify Dynamo Pad and Pastel Heart." Straightaway explains. Somewhere in the background, Daring Decor makes angry noises. After that, Straightaway Fairplay quietly instructs the top 3 winners to stand on the proper place on the award podium.

Elusive Facts returns with the awards. "All right, everypony~! And with that settled, here comes the awards! In 3rd place, Heavy Bucket from the Construction Kart Krew!" Heavy is standings on the 3rd place step, the shortest one. Elusive hangs a ribbon-strung bronze metal around his neck. "In 2nd place, Dynamo Pad and Pencil Heart!" Dynamo and Pencil are standing on the 2nd place step, the second highest step. Elusive gives them both their own silver medal. "And finally, in 1st place, the winner of the Kart Race... Pencil Pouch and Astral Vision!" Pencil and Astral are standing on the 1st place step, the middle step that stands the tallest. Elusive gives each of them a gold trophy. "Congratulations!!" Elusive manages to say before the confetti and streamers fly, followed by victory music and audience applause, photographs, and so on! Even if there is no other kart races after today, all of Friendshire will remember this moment.

As everyone headed towards the stage, two familiar ponies that explained the events began talking to the press. Dynamo felt worried as the announcers began to go over final judgement over what had occurred during the event. It started out pretty normal when it came to Samurai, Kronos and Rolling Rush. However, he felt a bead of sweat trickle down the side of his face, while hearing his and Pastel's names being brought up. He knew that Bluebell had joined up with them during the race. However, it wasn't planned, while their new friend had appeared out of nowhere. Upon hearing that he and Pastel weren't disqualified, Dynamo had let out of a breath he didn't know he was holding. "That's a relief. I know so much had happened, but I was worried we were disqualified for one reason or another. Upon hearing the top three teams were told to move to the proper place on the podium, Dynamo followed without hesitation. He motioned for Pastel to follow him as he stood upon the podium listed as second place. 

As Elusive Facts announced each standing, Dynamo smiled and waved at the cheering crowd. Once they were given their trophy, Dynamo handed the trophy to Pastel to hold it up for the world to see. All the while, thanking Elusive Facts for being given the trophy.

A member of the emergency crew approached them. "Pardon me, folks", he said. He turned to Dynamo. "Your partner is hurt bad, poor gal.  She was askin' for ya.  She'll be in the hospital 'bout now."

Dynamo's ears perked, while he blinked in surprise from the emergency crew approaching him. Upon hearing about their partner, Dynamo soon remembered about Bluebell. "Bluebell is hurt? I know we worked together to land the cart, but I didn't think she got hurt that badly." He assumed that she had fallen out of the cart when the landed, but he didn't expect his friend to get hurt. "Is she okay?" He wondered, before hearing the emergency crew mentioning that Bluebell wanted to see him, Pastel and the others. "Thank you and I'll be sure to be there as soon as possible." He would say, before looking to Pastel. "What do you think, Pastel-chan? Should we go and see our friend at the hospital when the award ceremony is over?" He would have to ask Pencil, Astral and Samurai if they wanted to stop by the hospital, as well. He'd still have to talk to Pencil about what she wanted to talk about too. He knew that there was a lot going on, but he knew that he'd had to take things one step at a time.

Trilby walks to the nearest food vendor with Beryl still under hat; the radio playing to announce the final results of the race. Trilby orders some snacks, taking Beryl's food requests and holding it up to her so she won't have leave the hat. "...Did you say library? Yeah, we've got one of those. Although, I'm not sure if this town's history is fully recorded... You may have to talk to Samurai Equine or Astral Vision about that. I think they were showing the most interest in our town's history. All I know is we use to have some mayors, but now no pony sees them. Oh, but we definitely have news outlits. Ms. Elusive Facts is the top reporter for the Friendshire Local News." Trilby explains. "You must be a very educated breezie. You know, the library has staff, but we don't have a head librarian yet."

"ye Libreree." She tried to copy his accent while wispering and listining to what he had to say. "no hiztoy?!" She clears her throat and spoke loud enough so he can hear her properly. "I mus meet tem. History ez imporand. I use to run da libreree back home." She stopped to think and took a bite out of the snack. "Dis is no goot. We mus do sumting!"

Pastel flashed an odd look to Kronos. Samurai didn't seem mad at him, so everything was maybe okay between the two? She shrugged and bounced on up to the second place podium with Dynamo.

She was elated to hear they wouldn't be disqualified, blowing a raspberry to Daring Decor again. Nya ha, she thought.

She clapped for Pencil and Astral. Even though she and Dynamo didn't win, she was happy for her friends. Besides, second place is only awful if in a harem anime!

@Ragland Tiger @Dynamo Pad

Pastel nodded to Dynamo. Bluebell was a lifesaver. She definitely had to see her when the celebrations were over! Something seemed kinda off though...

-------

Away from the ceremony sat a stallion name Ridge Rider, a washed up racer pony who participated in the race. In the food court, drowning his sorrows with a bottle of yellow liquid. He grumbled to himself.

"grumble grumble. Stupid pint sized brat on a shell wiping me out... I used to be the best! the best!"

He downed the bottle and pointed towards the concessions pony with his hoof.

"Hey! Gimme another!" he demanded 

"I think you've had enough, buddy." the bored looking concessions pony replied, this got a rather unhappy expression from Ridge who opened his mouth to shout, until a large, blue earth pony stallion slammed his hoof on the table.

"COLD BEER!"

It was the stallion that came into town earlier in the day, with the huge mustache and turban. The concession pony was intimidated and immediately fulfilled the request. Looks like the racer pony didn't take kindly to this though.

"HEY! I was ordering here!"

...Everyponys eyed widened, except for the blue stallion who looked him dead in the eye.

"WHO IS THE BIG JABRONI WHO SPEAKS TO IRON SHOAL AS IF HE WERE LESS THAN SHOAL CLASS? I PUT YOU IN THE CAMEL CLUTCH!"

"Hah! I'd like to see you try, big guy!" Ridge showed no fear in spite of the loud and intimidating stallion in front of him.

--------------

...And with that, it looks like a huge brawl just broke out in the concession area. The noise could be heard from outside. This attracted the attention of Pastel who stared at the source of the noise, unsure exactly what was going on.

@Samurai Equine @Pastel Heart @Dynamo Pad

As the winners were announced, Kronos gave a proud grin as if the winners were his own children. He gave well deserved applause and praise for everyone that made it onto the podium, regardless of how well he actually knew them. Despite not being a fair sport himself during the race, he was glad that the race ended up the way it did, as it seemed fair for the most part all things considered. 
 

You did good, little one, Kronos thought to himself as Pastel was awarded for second place, I may not be your father, but I’m proud of you.

@Samurai Equine @Astral Vision @Dynamo Pad @Pastel Heart

Pencil trotted up towards the reward ceremony alongside Astral. She anticipated the results along with seeing who would win. As she made it to the stage, she attentively listened to the announcer. She was listing ponies who were disqualified for one reason or another. Pencil got a little nervous, her hooves trembling slightly. Thankfully, she was able to claim first place along with Astral. She gleefully hopped on the middle of the podium, claiming her prize. She beamed at Astral and said,

“Wow, we actually won! This is exciting! These medals looks really cool, too,”

She then turned her head and saw Dynamo and Pastel with their second-place medals. She smiled at them too and told them,

“You guys did really great! We were really neck-and-neck. Congrats on making it to second place, guys!”

Pencil finally turned to the unfamiliar pony in third place. She said to him,

“Congrats on winning third place!”

She didn’t have a lot to say since she didn’t know the pony too well. Regardless, she was excited for everypony who won and was glad everypony had fun, minus a few literal bumps in the road.

He was about to talk to the duo, but stopped as he thought he had heard a loud noise going on. "Huh. It sounds like something is going on in town. I suppose it's the towns way of celebrating?" He wondered, unsure of what exactly was going on.

As Pencil gave her congratulations to everyone, Dynamo smiled with a nod as he heard her remark. "Thank you, Pencil. Also, same here to you. Congratulations on taking first place. The race was definitely close and it could have gone either way. If anyone had to win, then I'm glad you and Astral were able to take the victory. By the way, I was just wondering. There's a friend at the hospital that's asking for Pastel and I to visit. Did you, Astral and Samurai want to tag along? We can all go together and figure out how to celebrate. That, and I thought it'd be better to be strength in numbers. Considering with whatever that noise of destruction is going on in town."

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

@Dynamo Pad

Pencil’s irises shrunk a little, but she tried not to look too concerned.

“There’s a pony in the hospital? And they want me? S-Sure, that’s fine, but why me?” she stammered.

Suddenly, thoughts of the final minutes of the race courses through her head. There was a indescribable loud noise behind her. Worried looks had washed over the ponie’s faces. Was somepony hurt in the race?

“Ok, I’ll go. If I can help in some way I will,” she offered.

Samurai watches the celebration and cheers for his friends.

Straightaway and Elusive continue to make their own commentary, but with the medals and trophies handed out, the celebration slowly begins to die down. When he finds an opportunity, Samurai walks up to his friends as they leave the podium. As he does, he catches part of conversation "What's this about a pony in the hospital?" Samurai asks. "I had an after-party planned at my house, but if somepony was harmed during this race, then it's my duty to see to it." Samurai explains. "If the entire group doesn't feel up to it, then I can go alone, or with Dynamo and Pastel since you two seem to have some connection to this pony I am just learning about. The rest can wait at my house and get the party started. I know hospitals tent to make some a little uneasy."

@Pastel Heart

Daring Decor left the ceremony as soon as he learned Dynamo and Pastel were not going to be disqualified or anything. Not like he came in first anyways. He grumbles to himself. "Stupid cheap tactics didn't even work... Now how will I save my business? Well, at least I can drown out my sorrows while I think of a new business strategy." However, as he makes his way to the food court, he can hear and see an obvious brawl breaking out. At one point, he even sees Ridge Rider get physically thrown out of the court, only for him to get back up and rush back in for a 2nd round. "... On second thought, barely-holding-together furniture is better than a barely-holding-together spine." And with that, Daring Decor makes an about-face and heads... anywhere but here.

@CameoShadowness

Trilby listens to everything Beryl has to say. "We will meet them. I promise. In fact, it probably won't be much longer til we get that chance." Trilby says. "Huh? The snack is no good? We must do something? Well, I could ask for a refund, but it really didn't cost that much... What do Breezies usually eat?" Trilby asks, mistakenly taking Beryl's sentence out of context.

Pastel pointed at the rather loud source. She was far too eager to get herself in trouble again.

At the mention of a pony being in the hospital, Dynamo turned to Pencil and the others. "Eeyup. I think they want to see Pastel and I. Since they randomly teleported into our kart during the race." He would say, taking note of the names being mentioned of who was already at the hospital. "Sundae Delight wasn't the name of the mare that was asking for us. Her name is Bluebell. I know she helped me in landing the cart, but when we looked for her, she was nowhere to be seen. I hope that she's okay. I still have to thank her for the help. Along with asking her something." He says, not taking notice of the crowd dispersing after the awards had been given out.

After stepping off of the podium, the gamer pony nodded at Samurai's suggestion. "If everyone is up for it, then maybe we can all go to the hospital together. We can check up on Bluebell, before figuring out if we need anything for the after-party. Just in case we need snacks and/or beverages." He would say, looking off to the side as Samurai's mention of the hospital wasn't too farfetched. He wasn't a big fan of hospitals, but he knew it was the right thing to go and visit a potential friend.

Dynamo turned his attention to Pastel, who was mentioning on bringing snacks for Bluebell. Upon mentioning a boxing match, Dynamo had to nod in agreement. "Okay. So, it wasn't just me that heard that. I thought it was nothing, but it sounds like there's a fight going on. I hope there's nothing wrong." If Pastel went to check out the fight, then he would go with her. While he was still tired and recovering his magic from earlier. He still didn't want anything to happen to his friends. Even though it looked like Pastel wanted to get into more trouble with her investigations.

“What! Somepony teleported into a kart?” Pencil cried. She knew teleportation was risky, but she had never considered what would happen if a unicorn teleported into a moving object. She thought of Astral and what would have happened to him had he teleported in the wrong spot. Thankfully, that had never happened, but it very well could have if he decided to teleport somewhere on the tracks. Pencil began to worry a bit and started flexing her hooves in and out. To keep her nerves down, Pencil asked Dynamo,

“The pony, uh...Bluebell, she wasn’t, um, seriously hurt was she?”

@Samurai Equine

Pencil got distracted by her thoughts at Samurai’s mention of an after party. She couldn’t help but smile at him. He was always prepared for celebration after celebration and never seemed to tire from it. Pencil was more than happy to attend the party, so long as it did not interfere with the hospital visit.

“An after party sounds fun! I’ll try and come if the hospital visit isn’t too long. I’ll try and bring a few snacks if you’d like,” she said in a friendly manner.

Astral's eyes narrowed in concern; though he did not know of the pony in question, he hated to think anyone could have been hurt during the race. The ceremony had reached its end, and the celebration party was probably more than worth waiting for, leading Astral to smile as he made his decision.

"I'll tag along to meet this 'Bluebell' pony; if she really did teleport into your vehicle during the race, it's possible she has great magical talent. And don't worry Pencil, I'm sure that Bluebell will be fine when we see her. After all, even if this town is a little upside-down at times, I've heard the medical staff are very capable; just ask Dr. Milenko."

Beryl pauses and realizes her mistake. She didn't really pay attention to the taste so she took another bite and realized it did-indeed taste bad. "we eat a lot. not dis." She pushed it away with her tiny hoof. "got uh... pojen burg? uh... oat smotee? uh... muffin?" She tried thinking of what the ponies could possibly have that she could eat. It's really hard because she has very specific ideas but knows the language barrier is one hell of thing. She wasn't sure he knew what she meant at all. "Moobeh?"

Bluebell's letter to Twilight:

My Dear Friend Twilight,

I have discovered a most curious town.  I don't think It's identified on any of our maps.  It also has an unusual variety of residents.  I'll report to you further on what I find.

Your Friend Always,

Bluebell

Samurai is taking all this information in. "Bluebell and a mysterious unknown pony... What's next, a breezie?" Samurai asks. The he hears Keen's question. "I know, right?! How could I have been busy racing when all my senses were telling me that some pony needs help!" Samurai says. ...Then he double takes when he realizes who he is talking to. "Oh, hello! ...Have we meet before?" Samurai asked with a surprised expression.

Still, anything else can wait. "All right, everypony! Don't worry about food or beverages. I promise I'll have everything covered in the after-party at my house. For now, if no one has any objections... To the hospital we go!" Quickly grabbing everyone's hoof including Keen's, Samurai concentrates and magically teleports them all to the hospital. "Okay every pony, on your best behavior here." Samurai says before turning to Shadow and Dynamo. "Since the two of you are familiar with ponies staying here, I'll let you ask the front desk about them." Samurai lets them leads the way. He steps back a minute and shakes his head, almost as if he is going temporarily dizzy. "...No, no... Still good... Still have two or three good ones left for today." Samurai quietly says to himself before picking himself back up.

@CameoShadowness

Trilby blinks. "...I understood the word Muffin in all that. OH! I remember seeing a book on breezie cuisine in the library not too long ago. I could check that out and someday soon, I'll make you something good just you're use to." Trilby giggles a little. "Beryl, I get the feeling this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship! I'll call you Mini Horse Beryl, and we'll go on adventures together~! The two of us together, a dynamic duo! I know this town isn't the best, but I'll gladly show you around. You can meet my marefriend and all of my other friends; you'll safeguard the library while I sell clothes to ponies that want them, and we're gonna have an awesome time Mini Horse Beryl, just wait and see!" Trilby says, his imagination running wild.

“What! Somepony teleported into a kart?” Pencil cried. She knew teleportation was risky, but she had never considered what would happen if a unicorn teleported into a moving object. She thought of Astral and what would have happened to him had he teleported in the wrong spot. Thankfully, that had never happened, but it very well could have if he decided to teleport somewhere on the tracks. Pencil began to worry a bit and started flexing her hooves in and out. To keep her nerves down, Pencil asked Dynamo,

“The pony, uh...Bluebell, she wasn’t, um, seriously hurt was she?”

Astral's eyes narrowed in concern; though he did not know of the pony in question, he hated to think anyone could have been hurt during the race. The ceremony had reached its end, and the celebration party was probably more than worth waiting for, leading Astral to smile as he made his decision.

"I'll tag along to meet this 'Bluebell' pony; if she really did teleport into your vehicle during the race, it's possible she has great magical talent. And don't worry Pencil, I'm sure that Bluebell will be fine when we see her. After all, even if this town is a little upside-down at times, I've heard the medical staff are very capable; just ask Dr. Milenko."

Dynamo looked over to Pencil and gave her a calm nod. "I know it might sound crazy to believe, but yeah. She teleported right into the cart when we were driving. She landed on the front of the cart, but Pastel-chan and I had managed to help her into the other passenger seat." He responded, giving a calm nod as he understood Pencil's concern. He had a habit of randomly panicking or worrying, but he also understood that panicking would only lead to mistakes and such being made. "I'm honestly not too sure. All I know was that Bluebell had helped us to land the cart back onto the ground. When I went to thank her, she was gone. I just found out from someone notifying me that she's at the hospital." He would say as he knew as much as the others did. He turned towards Astral and gave his friend a kind smile. "I guess it's a unanimous decision then. It sounds like we'll all go check up on Bluebell, before we have the after party. She did say something about Haycart's method when we were trying to land the cart. I've read about Haycart before, but I didn't know that anyone else had read about him. It's reassuring that the medical staff here is very capable."

Samurai is taking all this information in. "Bluebell and a mysterious unknown pony... What's next, a breezie?" Samurai asks. The he hears Keen's question. "I know, right?! How could I have been busy racing when all my senses were telling me that some pony needs help!" Samurai says. ...Then he double takes when he realizes who he is talking to. "Oh, hello! ...Have we meet before?" Samurai asked with a surprised expression.

Still, anything else can wait. "All right, everypony! Don't worry about food or beverages. I promise I'll have everything covered in the after-party at my house. For now, if no one has any objections... To the hospital we go!" Quickly grabbing everyone's hoof including Keen's, Samurai concentrates and magically teleports them all to the hospital. "Okay every pony, on your best behavior here." Samurai says before turning to Shadow and Dynamo. "Since the two of you are familiar with ponies staying here, I'll let you ask the front desk about them." Samurai lets them leads the way. He steps back a minute and shakes his head, almost as if he is going temporarily dizzy. "...No, no... Still good... Still have two or three good ones left for today." Samurai quietly says to himself before picking himself back up.

Upon hearing Samurai's declaration, Dynamo was surprised as he felt Samurai had taken hold of his hoof. Along with taking hold of everyone else's hooves, before teleporting to the hospital. Upon arrival, Dynamo's eyes were spinning as he wasn't used to teleporting. It didn't help that being low on magic almost caused him to lose his balance. "Please warn me when you're about to teleport, please. I suppose I wasn't mentally prepared to jump from one location to the next." He responded, giving Samurai a sheepish smile and chuckle. After shaking his head to gather his bearings, the gamer pony nodded as he went over towards the front desk. "Um...excuse me. My friends and I are here to check up on some patients. One of them is named Bluebell. Do you happen to know what her room number is?"

@Samurai Equine

When Samurai teleported Kronos to the hospital, he looked around and saw all the ponies that were queued for treatment there. 
 

Aww, all these poor ponies, a voice said sadly, We should help them. 
 

It’s not out place nor our jurisdiction to help them, another replied, leave them be. The best we can do is grieve.

“No sir, i'm new to this place. I'm Keen Fan” Keen said politely before glancing at Shadow, who gave her a small smile.  Keen reached out a hoof to which Samurai accepts it, and suddenly she found herself inside what seems to be inside a hospital. She watches as Samurai said something to Shadow and Dynamo.

@Dynamo Pad @Samurai Equine @Ragland Tiger @Buck Testa

“Okay” Shadow said to Samurai. She was still worried by the unknown colt's condition (Boulder Dash). From what she heard, another pony (Bluebell A. Scrub) was hospilatized.

Pastel was disappointed that she was teleported so suddenly, she really wanted a snack first. Looks like she was gonna pout for awhile. Atleast while they were there they could see Bluebell who saved their flanks back at the track.

She followed up behind Dynamo. It looked like he was by himself, as she wasn't even tall enough go be seen from behind the desk. She wondered what happened after they got seperated.

Trilby blinks. "...I understood the word Muffin in all that. OH! I remember seeing a book on breezie cuisine in the library not too long ago. I could check that out and someday soon, I'll make you something good just you're use to." Trilby giggles a little. "Beryl, I get the feeling this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship! I'll call you Mini Horse Beryl, and we'll go on adventures together~! The two of us together, a dynamic duo! I know this town isn't the best, but I'll gladly show you around. You can meet my marefriend and all of my other friends; you'll safeguard the library while I sell clothes to ponies that want them, and we're gonna have an awesome time Mini Horse Beryl, just wait and see!" Trilby says, his imagination running wild.

Beryl giggles in amazement.  It was something about his enthusiasm and the promise of a library- something she desperately wants back  that she absolutely adored. "Buck yeah. Letz do dis."

For the first time in a long time, she felt comfortable and ready for the future.

Pencil jerked at the sudden feel of Samurai’s hoof on hers. She did not want to be touched. She almost screamed ‘Nnnaaaagggghhhh!’ but was unable to do to the sudden teleportation afterwards.

Pencil blinked around, completely unaware of her surroundings. The shock of it all made words unable to process in her mind, so instead of something she would normally say, she came out with,

“We here visit yet hospital?”

Wait, what? What did I even just say? Pencil thought. As a pony who took great care in her words, this was very surprising. She was almost disappointed in herself for how bad she sounded.

@Pastel Heart

If it makes any difference, there is a snack machine in the lobby. Plenty of things to choose from for just a bit each.

"Oh, sorry my friend. I guess when it comes to wanting to help or protect others, I get a little impulsive." Samurai explains before letting him and Shadow do their thing. However, as they reach the front desk, the nurse working there has some news. "We did receive one new patient named Bluebell. We can check and see if she is feeling healthy enough for visitors, but we tend to have a limit for how many visitors are allowed in a room at one time. As for the unknown pony, the doctors have said that it's best if he doesn't receive any visitors today. Perhaps tomorrow when his health shows signs of improvement." The nurse explains.

As they handle this, Samurai sits on a waiting bench with Keen. "Sorry for all the sudden actions, Keen Fan. You're new to this place? Welcome to Friendshire. How did you learn about me?" Samurai asks.

@CameoShadowness

Trilby gets up. He is about to run, until he remembers who is under his hat. So instead, he calmly walks. "To the library we go!" Trilby makes sure to be careful to avoid any strong winds or any big crowds. It takes him moment, especially with the town rebuilt for the kart race they just had, but they get there. "And here we are! The libra--ry?" Trilby's enthusiasm it cut short when he sees the CLOSED sign on the door. "Closed Today due to Kart Race? Open again tomorrow?! Aww, I'm sorry Mini Horse Beryl... I guess the library staff felt like supporting the big event today." Trilby feels bad.

Then he gets an idea. He looks around. "You know, if you really want to get in... I suppose I could teleport us inside the library."

Keen's POV

“Yes” Keen replied, deciding not to tell how she got in the town in the first place since it's so embarrassing for her to say. She stared at Samurai, wondering why she felt angry all a sudden, though she never showed it. She didn't want to have a local enemy in the town.

Not right now.

She smiled as she successfully maintain her normal expression. 

... 

Shadow Trail's POV

Shadow stared at the earth pony then at Samurai before glancing at the nurse “Do you found any clues of the colt's identity?” she asked, trying to be hopeful of expecting a positive answer.
