This one is kinda sketchy in my memory, so I'll do the best I can...
I was with Brad's mom and sister walking under a large dock, going to the car. We were taking about where Sam want to go to school; she mentioned among many that she was thinking about a design school in Hawaii. Interesting, because I had just gotten in the mail an invitation to do a "spa study" there.
The next thing I know, I'm in a ballroom full of people and a "training course" for our new "pets", which are live versions of characters from Mario Kart. I got yoshi, Brad's mom had the princess, Sam had the toad/mushroom head thing, Brad had luigi, and a half dozen other people were there with their "pets." We had to teach them tricks and how to ride our remote controlled karts. Yoshi thought it was funny to do the opposite of everything I asked him. We started the race, and I just KNEW that Yoshi hated me and we would lose. But right away, he starts off the fastest! He jumps over entire obstacles and zooms past all the other "pets" and gets to the end. On;y problem is that he never collected any of the stars, so we had to go back or lose. when he gets to a place where he can get stars, he turns in a kitten.
The old lady leading the race thought it was cute and took the yoshi kitten back for herself. Bah! I thought we were going to win. Then the old lady took couples to a spa room, which ours looked remarkably like Brad's parents room, but with a much nicer master bathroom. there were different products we were supposed to test with our partner, then report on them. Brad said he needed to use the bathroom, but never came back; so the study people sent in an old lady (different from the one leading all the activities) to test the products with me. Most of the products were, let's say you should only use them with your spouse, so I felt really awkward, and tried to go find Brad hiding in the bathroom. Because we both went to the bathroom, we were disqualified from participating in the spa study and they sent us home, but I got to keep the yoshi kitten!
hahaha...can I have a yoshi kitten too? :)
