Aight, raise your hand if you've heard of Elvis. Or Little Richard. Or Chuck Berry. If you haven't, either you're freakin' lying and I'm calling you out on it or you're from another world so you're excused.

Anyway! They're all forms of rock and roll. Now, if you didn't know, the totally awesome inventor of that was this badass chick named Rosetta Tharpe. Seriously, she made, like, the first rock and roll record, was super popular, all that. She inspired all those guys up there, everyone's popularity combined throughout the ages made it a big thing, and there you go. Music genre.

[That is probably not exactly how it works, but Kirikou is a simple kid.]

But that's how it is in my world. Here, they still have rock and roll- I know, I've seen the CDs and all that- and it's probably in a lot of other people's worlds too. How's that happened? Did it just come around in a completely different way, like different recipes for the same thing? Or are there, like, alternate universe Rosetta Tharpes?

I dunno, just thinkin'.

Sure! You just gotta use your strengths right, or something!

[That was not a good thing to say, sir.] N-NO! I CAN'T DO THAT!

Uh... [Well that's sure a reaction] Why?

L-Look, I tried that once and....it didn't.....go the best....

Are you sure it wasn't just a one time thing? Like, bad luck.

No, no, I know if I try that again it'll be just as awful....

How do you know?

W-Well, what kind of girls like stuff like poetry and clarinet? And that's....the only stuff I'm kinda good at.

Are you serious!? There are plenty of chicks who like artsy guys like that! Someone lied to you, man!

You're just trying to make me feel better. It's okay, I know it's weird stuff for a guy to like.

...Have you ever watched a movie before in your life?

Yeah, I guess....? Why?

Then you should know girls dig the artsy creative types!

They...do?

They do!

Seriously, one of my best friends, Ox? Huge nerd. Huge glasses. He's managing to make progress with a girl he likes! [Admittedly, he did the Big Damn Hero thing, but details.]

You can do it, man. I got faith in you.

Wow....

Thanks, but the girl I like is....well, she's not here.

That doesn't mean she might not show up! What's she like?

[Wirt gets a dreamy look.] She's amazing....

[Kirikou laughs, but it's not a mean one. He's honestly pretty happy for the guy.]

Well, duh, of course she's amazing! She pretty cute?

She's the prettiest girl in the class!

Seriously? Cute smile and everything?

Oh, yeah! Her eyes are like endless blue oceans I could float forever in....

Yooo, that's nice! You should write her a poem with that in there!

I uh...did....

Aaaand? Did you give it to her? Don't keep me in suspense!
