I love this one!  Who all's here?  Billy?  Death?  Life?  Anyone?  The Welcome Center's open and I've got drinks and I'm working on making cookies--

I see how it is. Not even important enough to get a call out.

[horrible_penny]

Sam! I can't call everyone out--this entry'd be an hour long!

It's amazing to see you! It's been a really long over-a-month, you know.

[not_so_smooth]

I guess I can settle for an enthusiastic greeting then.

So I've heard.

[horrible_penny]

How about a cookie and a hug, too?

Did you talk to Rosella?

[not_so_smooth]

Maybe a song too?

Yeah, I guess she's been having a rough time of it.

[horrible_penny]

Let's start with cookies and see how it goes.

She really misses you. ...I mean, everyone misses you, but--you know. She'll be okay, though, and seeing you today'll be good for her.

[not_so_smooth]

Okay, sounds good to me.

I really miss her too. I wish I could stay.

[horrible_penny]

Do you want clock-shaped or money-shaped?

I wish you could, too. There aren't exactly a lot of people who're willing to rescue me from gardens. ...Just make the most of today, okay?

[not_so_smooth]

Clock shaped.

Oh trust me, I will.

[horrible_penny]

Good choice!

Have any plans?

[not_so_smooth]

Just spending lots of time with Rosella and a few others.

[horrible_penny]

Sounds good! ...Thanks for spending a little time with me, Sam. You seriously have no idea how great it is to see you.

[not_so_smooth]

Well, I'm glad you think it's great to see me.

[horrible_penny]

What, did you think I wouldn't be? That I'd be all "Sam, get off of my lawn!" if you came by?

[not_so_smooth]

You're not quite "get off my lawn" old just yet, Penny.

[horrible_penny]

I don't know. Twenty-nine is getting up there.

You're welcome on the lawn, anyway.
