'Work is important, but what is just as important is to have fun, de arimasu. The team that plays and works together, stays together, de arimasu!'

Was what Keroro said right before announcing their first annual team-bonding camping trip.

The site was chosen as the park, simply because it was free and open. That and Keroro just wasn't all that interested in going out in the desert and being carried away by vultures.

Now get to bonding! What do you think he's giving you guys a half day off for?!

[and she rises her hands, so he won't reach them] Get away from me, frog!

[starfruitfrog]

[Using your height against him is unfair.] Then you put them on, de arimasu.

[And yes, he's jumping to try to reach her hands.]

[sayatakagi]

[hands still raised up towards the sky] I'm not putting anyth-

[a pause] Okay. Give me, then.

[starfruitfrog]

See, that's what you should have done to begin with, de arimasu. Here, de arimasu.

[And he hands the handcuffs to Saya, glad that somehow he managed to get through to her.]

[sayatakagi]

[she grabs them.

and tries to put them on Keroro]

[starfruitfrog]

[ASLDKJLKGJG. IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR BOSS?!]

Saya-dono! What are you-- [And then the handcuffs slide down his arm, because they were made for humans, not frog-like aliens with much smaller arms.]

--doing...

[sayatakagi]

[Goddamnit. She was hoping she could manage to close them small enough to lock him.

SIGHS.] Ah well, i guess you can't play.

[starfruitfrog]

Of course I can't, de arimasu! I don't need any more training, de arimasu! [And he's the boss.]

Now listen to me and put them on properly, de arimasu.

[sayatakagi]

I wonder if it'll work if I put it on your neck.

[starfruitfrog]

Are you trying to kill me, de arimasu?!

[sayatakagi]

Trying to get you to leave me alone about the handcuffs!

[starfruitfrog]

I'll leave you alone once you finish running the obstacle course, de arimasu!

[sayatakagi]

I can run the obstacle course without the handcuffs.

[starfruitfrog]

But then you're not running it properly, de arimasu.

[sayatakagi]

The handcuffs are dumb!

[starfruitfrog]

They're not dumb!

[sayatakagi]

Yes they are!

[starfruitfrog]

They're not!

[sayatakagi]

They are!!

[starfruitfrog]

Are not!

[comradery]

...really, either of you can be right, considering the setup you've made, Boss. [Excuse him as he chimes in, since he is pretty sure this argument is going nowhere.]

Maybe one should be simply blindfolded, and the other directs them through the course? Without the use of handcuffs. That's already plenty enough challenge as is, in terms of cooperation, isn't it? Or maybe, the one that isn't blindfolded is handcuffed to a pole at the end of the course, and the only one that can free them is the blindfolded one. [It makes more sense then blindfolding both and handcuffing them together, anyway.]
