Okay, now we're back at the beginning of the novel. It's time for a little pep talk. Okay, Shmoo, we know you're the boss, but Shmoo doesn't like Shmoo. He's just trying to get Shmoo to like him. Shmoo says Shmoo is kind and dependable, and Shmoo was cool with Shmoo when Shmoo helped him out earlier in the day. He wants to know if Shmoo likes Shmoo at all, or if he's not a good match for Shmoo's personality. He tells Shmoo that they could date just once a week during the trial period, but that Shmoo would have to wait until the end of the trial to find out if he really likes him. He says he'll love Shmoo even more after the trial is over, because Shmoo has already fallen in love with him.
