--hundreds of unhappy endings
Hoping for a storybook finale?

After years of thinking that I might
Be doomed to dream only dreams that fail
Have I finally found my gallant knight
Or am I living in a fairy tale?

They say we need to kiss a lot of frogs
If we hope to find that handsome prince

Billy? I wonder...

Er, pardon me, but would you happen to be Billy's friend Penny?

[horrible_penny]

Yep, that's me! Are you one of his friends here?

It's great to meet you, anyway!

[primrosella]

Oh, yes, hello. I'm Rosella, one of his friends. I just, er, wanted to let you know that he's safely in my bathtub at the moment.

[horrible_penny]

So still a frog, huh? Thank you for taking care of him, Rosella.

...Should I bring over some of his clothes, maybe? Midnight could be super-awkward.

[primrosella]

Still a frog, I'm afraid. I'd thought we might be able to break his curse, but he didn't seem to want to try.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Yes, I think that might be very wise, thank you.

[horrible_penny]

That's his call, I guess. Do you mind if I ask where you live?

[primrosella]

Yes, of course, do you know where the Warehouse is? That's where I am at the moment.

[horrible_penny]

Not really, but I bet I can find it. If it's okay, I'll just bring Billy home? I guess he'd rather be in his apartment when he stops being all froggy.

[primrosella]

Let me give you directions, then. [directions go here]

And of course, whatever you think is best. I'll see if I can't find a basket or bowl or something for him to ride in.

[horrible_penny]

Thank you! I'll be right there, and thank you so, so much, Rosella.

[primrosella]

It's my pleasure, Penny. And it's lovely to finally meet you, too. I've heard so many good things about you!

[horrible_penny]

It's fantastic to meet you, too! Billy's mentioned you a couple times... I'm glad he has some friends here.

[primrosella]

Oh, yes, he's a wonderful friend; I'm very glad to have met him.

[horrible_penny]

He's glad to've met you, too. I can tell.

[primrosella]

That's very kind of you to say, thank you.

[horrible_penny]

I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it was true.
