>Steven, we need to talk
>It's about space camp... but it's also about us. My parents sat down to talk with me today. They told me that they understood why I had to leave in the middle of space camp - when I begged them to sign me up we had agreed that this may be a possibility, but with things being so calm recently, I thought it would be ok. The thing is, I was really excited to go, Steven! My parents paid so much for me to be there, and I was making some friends who were actually interested in the things I am passionate about. And then I had to leave, because... you needed me to run around on Lion and clean up after your fight? We both know Lion could have done that on his own, right?
>It's not really about space camp though, not really. That made me sad, but... The thing is, Steven, every time we hang out, or go on a mission, it's always about you and your problems. I was okay with that when I was twelve, but now... I guess I've grown up a little. I have my own interests and my own goals, and I don't like that I have to keep putting them on pause to come and help you out with every little thing. I talked to Greg about it a little and he told me that following your dreams requires sacrifices sometimes. I mean, he left his whole family behind to chase being a rock star, you know? But even so... Steven, I'm worried that if things keep going the way they are, I'm just going to fall into a neat little spiral and end up staying in Delmarva forever! Things are nice here, and you'll always be my friend, but I have goals and aspirations beyond just being your "knight" now. I can't believe I thought things would be that simple back then...
>I guess what I'm saying is... Next time you're on a mission, don't call me. See if you can get through it on your own. We can hang out soon though, ok? Ok. Bye.
