[Berri had no idea what she was getting herself into. She knew Banjo said something about being out of shape, or needing to figure out more activities to stay in shape. Whichever. But yoga? Berri did some yoga daily as part of her own routine.

But she never pegged Banjo to be into that. Some people surprised her still, people she knew for years.

Conker wasn't due to come over, so she had a lot of free time on her hands. Might as well spend some quality time with other people and maybe make this yoga session a little longer.

Just to get Banjo started any way. She waited for him to be over.]

[That made two of them. He'd let himself go too far a little while ago, and refused to let it happen to him again. He was back in shape, and was determined to STAY in shape.

Banjo and Berri were best friends, had been for a long time. They hung out a lot together, what with Kazooie and Conker liking to cause trouble while their sensible partners relaxed. He'd never tried yoga, but at this point, he was ready to try anything once, and she had the experience. Hopefully this wouldn't be a TOTAL disaster.

And thus, he knocked on her door...]

[Trust her, bear. She knew.

She knew it all.

She had already began her stretching when she heard the knock. Probably him, should be. If it was anyone else, she wasn't home. Today, she actually truly wanted all of her focus to be on Banjo. Don't call her sentimental, because she was. Prod her enough and you may get her to say she cared about the bear. Before she punched you in the face for prodding.

She looked through the peephole to see that, yes, it was Banjo. Oh good, she quickly opened the door and gave a cheeky grin.]

So, Bear. You, like, finally came around, huh?

Yeah, sorry I'm late. I just had to find an excuse that Kazooie would buy before coming over. If she knew what I was coming to do, she'd never let me hear the end of it.

[He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, smiling up at Berri. Kazooie was his best friend, but she could be extremely nosey, and took great delight in teasing him. He didn't want to give her any more fodder for that.

He trusted Berri to help him figure this out, though, and he had an open mind and was ready to learn.]

How're you doing? [he asked politely when she let him in.]

[It wasn't like Berri didn't tease him sometimes either, but that was because Banjo was such a sweet and endearing type. At worst, it was lovable teasing from Berri. The kind of teasing you do to people you actually like.]

You know, if she would then maybe she should come next time. That way you could, like, totally show off and set an example.

[Berri shut the door and made her way to the space she set up for this little meet before answering him.]

Oh, y'know, the usual.

Except, like, today I decided to have a blueberry smoothie instead of a strawberry cuz...y'know, living on the edge.

[Joking. Completely. It was just an exasperated way of saying literally nothing was new lately.]

I dunno, I feel like Kaz would just laugh at me if I suggested it.

[It was probably true. Kazooie wasn't the type to willingly make a fool of herself, or even look like she was making a fool of herself. Banjo didn't have that problem. He just had every girl he was a friend with try to tease him.]

Long as it was tasty! That's what I say.

I didn't know what I should bring over today for this... I did bring some track shorts, but that's about it.

She'd be singing a different tune if her bear friend became twice his size one day with biceps bigger than watermelons.

[Berri chuckled as she started to get into position and stretch. She was raring to get into this fast. Oh Banjo, she's got this covered.]

Water, healthy snacks, all that stuff in the kitch, sugar. All you need is the 'tude and the moves, hopefully.

You're not gonna get ripped tomorrow or anything but yoga's, like, a start, y'know?

Wouldn't that be something!

[He laughed at the thought. It was probably never gonna happen, but hey, Banjo had seen crazier things.]

I know it won't be that quick, but I'm ready to learn if you're ready to teach!

[He punctuated that thought by punching his fist into his palm.]

Ban-J, you're just so unreal.

[She meant that in the best possible way.]

You just need to try to keep up, 'kay?

Heh... Long as you mean that in a good way.

I'll do my best, teach! How do we start? What should I do?

[He took off his backpack to settle in a bit and rolled his shoulders to limber up.]

Hold it, first what we gotta do is stretch. Unless you'll have major ouchies in a few hours and Bird Butt would, like, really not let you live it down.

And you gotta stretch everything.

Oh, right. She really wouldn't... I'd be sitting there with ice packs and she'd just smack me with her wing. She doesn't really do sympathy all that well.

Okay, so... How do I do that?

She does seem the type to answer pain with more pain. I can relate but I guess I can go easy on you.

[More teasing. She took a deep breath.]

Alright, breathe in. And out. Make your body relax real good, 'kay?

I'd really appreciate that.

[He stood next to her, watching her for a moment and then trying to mirror her, taking in a deep breath, trying to will himself to relax. It wasn't something he was used to doing, but he tried his best.]

Like this?

That's right, you got it.

[She twisted herself right to left, beginning stages were always like this, Banjo.]

Make sure you're relaxed, don't want you to break anything, sweetie.

[Banjo tried to twist like she did, turning as far as he could. He didn't have quite the range of motion she did, but he tried.]

I don't wanna break anything either... How long have you been doing yoga anyway? Seems like it's been for as long as I've known you at least, and we've been friends like forever.

I do at least a lil' yoga everyday, it works real good for unwinding and making you feel, like, spiritual and stuff.

[Berri wasn't into the spiritual thing so she was a little sarcastic there.]

In all total seriousness, it just is relaxing and junk.

That explains why you're so chill all the time.

[Banjo stopped twisting when it became obvious that he wasn't going to get any more range of motion out of it.]

But that's good. I play video games a lot to unwind, so everyone's got their own thing.

[Banjo was trying so hard, so hard. It was completely adorable. She moved to another position to stretch, keep it up, bear.]

Hon, I'm only so chill when I'm doing yoga. When you deal with Conker and his shenanigans, I swear you can get, like, ten heart attacks if you're aren't careful.

[Banjo watched for a moment, and then got to work mimicing her movements as best as his bulky bear self could.]

Tell me about it... He is so lucky to have you for a girlfriend, I just hope he realizes that. You're the best. But I guess everyone has their own way of dealing with shenanigans like that.

[...She almost tripped herself up. Whoa, that caught her off guard. She covered it up by looking as if she was done stretching.

S-silly bear. Better say something, she thought.]

Just comes with the territory, is all. I think we can give stretches a rest now though.

Ready for some of that real yoga, bear?

[Banjo was a guy who wore his heart on his sleeve and said what he thought. And it was true, he thought Berri was a great, supportive, nice girl, and that Conker was lucky to be dating her. Banjo was also not THAT bright and/or observant, and she easily covered her stumble such that he never noticed he'd flustered her.]

I completely get it. Phew... Great. I think I'm ready for some real yoga, so what do I do first?

Well.

[Berri went to her radio and started fiddling with her phone. She hooked it to the stereo and suddenly a relaxing playlist started up.]

Just needed to set up that calming atmosphere and what not.

[He nodded, smiling.]

You've gotta have the right relaxing mood, for sure.

[He stood with her, eyes on her, waiting for her to tell him what to do with that happy look on his face.]

[Berri imagined that maybe, just maybe...this would come to bite them in the asses.

Let's see. She had to think positive.]

Get into position, like so-

[This would be easy, she breathed in from her stomach. A long deep breath. Quietly, she exhaled.]

Get into the zone, breathe in and out.
