“I just want you to know that you’ve already made a big step coming here today. You’ve shown each other that this relationship is important enough to save, and that’s a step in the right direction."

“Lots of couples go through this, especially those who have been together as long as you have.”

“We wouldn’t even BE here if Mouse hadn’t wanted to go wireless. It’s like we aren’t even connected to the same computer via USB wireless receiver anymore.”

“You see, doc? You see? Keyboard is always like this! She never wants to try anything new! I thought being able to explore other areas on the desk would be exciting.”

“The only excitement I’ve seen is between you and that pencil sharpener!”

“ENOUGH! Okay, you two. You need to calm down. Bickering isn’t going to help this process at all. Now then, I want the two of you to look at each other right now and list three things you love about the other. Keyboard, you go first.”

“Well, I… I’ve always loved your 800 dpi optical sensor. Your smooth and fast rubber scroll wheel, too. It was one of the first things I noticed when we met. And your long battery life is something I’ve always admired.”

“Good. That’s very good, Keyboard. Now you, Mouse.”

“This is dumb. I don’t want to…”

“There he goes! He can’t even give me one compliment!”

“Come on, Mouse. Keyboard’s done her part.”

“FINE. The way you can program 11 keys is something I’ve always been fond of. And it’s nice that you have 3 buttons for easy volume control. And your low profile attitude that offers a flatter design and silent operation. I’ve always loved you for that. I… I don’t think I could ever stop loving you for that.”

“Oh, Mouse. I never knew you cared so much!”

“I think we’ve made a lot of progress here today. Now if one of you could just hand over a credit card, we can finish up for this session.”
