Hey Aladdin. I'm Do- Miss Dolly. It's nice to meet you. I don't think I've seen your friend around, but I'm not sure.

[merelyaladdin]

I think I'd be good at acting.

[He's certainly good at lying, after all.]

[dollnameddolly]

You should sign up for it, then! Once classes start up again, we'll see how you do.

[merelyaladdin]

I will! Thanks!

... can Abu come?

[dollnameddolly]

You're welcome.

Sure, why not?

[merelyaladdin]

Brilliant!
