It was...what?! an April Fools joke!!?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, I don't mind having been taken

up close, just a email away, just a post away..."
With that, he wraps his left arm around his old friend.
Bombardier is obviously touched by Macmarts' comments, especially under the circumstances.
As Bombardier turns to him, his eyes filled with friendship and warmth, Macmarts calmly stamps his face with an adroitly dissimulated cream pie.
