Wonder 'ow the others are doin' back 'ome. If it was Christmas we'd be even busier'n usual with all the shows.

I really like hearing about your family. They sound unusual, but unusual can be even better than normal, especially if everyone's close.

Sorry they're not around, Freckles. You'll get to see them again someday, though, and until then? All you ever need to do is find me. I'd love to be part of your family--your City family. If that's okay.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah, we're quite close. Comes from the way we grew up, I guess. An' I like talkin' 'bout 'em. 'elps me miss 'em a bit less.

'course it's okay! 'm really glad I got t'know you 'ere, Penny.

[horrible_penny]

Then talk about them whenever you want!

Aw... thank you, Freckles. I'm glad I know you, too--you're the best.

[freckleddoll]

Alright, I will then!

Nah, 'm nothin' special. But s'really good t'have such nice friends 'ere.

[horrible_penny]

You are so. Why do you think you have so many friends?

[freckleddoll]

...'cause I talk to a lot of people?

[horrible_penny]

That too, but mostly because you're so sweet to everyone and the people you talk to really like you.

[freckleddoll]

I...er...[DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY] Never really got to 'ave any friends besides my brothers an' sisters back 'ome.

[horrible_penny]

Then it's about time you had some!

Merry Christmas, Freckles. Looks like you get friends for the holidays.

[freckleddoll]

Merry Christmas to you too, Penny! Guess I can't ask for a better present'n that, yeah?

[horrible_penny]

Other than world peace or something, I don't think so!
