Thanksgiving Day Party!
Where: The Warehouse (ask Rosella for directions if you need them!)
When: Next Thursday!
Who: Everyone!
Sorry I didn't make it sparkly or anything fancy.  It's sparkly in spirit, though, because it's a great holiday!  (The way we celebrate it now, I mean.  Historically, it has kind of a checkered past and no one can really agree

[Doll's about to ask what she can do for the party...but then she catches some of the rest of that and anyway, she knows Penny well enough by now to tell if something is wrong.]

Penny?

[There's no use pretending with Doll. Not only is she perceptive, but keeping up the act at home would be hard. Still...]

Hey. What's up?

Hey...

I'm sorry 'e left, Penny. Can I do anythin'?

It's okay. Everyone has to leave eventually, right?

Nah. Thank you though, Freckles. Really.

They shouldn't 'ave to, not like this. I'll come by your room later with Tiger if that's alright?

Of course that's alright. I'd like that.

I'll be there then.

An' Penny...if there's any way I can stay for ye, I will.

Thanks, Doll.

[It's a good thing she isn't there in person yet, because that just about makes Penny cry. It's a sweet thing to say, but she's pretty sure that Doll means it.]

...Freckles. I adore you, but there's no way I could ever, ever... ever ask you to do that.

Know that you wouldn't. But you don't 'ave to, I would anyway. You're family too now.

[Is that a sniffle? Most definitely.] You know what? You're the best family I've ever had.

An' I'm lucky to 'ave you as part of mine.
