[There's a soft buzzing in the background. Lily's been neglecting her bee!]

Um... I'm okay, everyone. Really. It wasn't-I'm fine.

Hey, B, can we make something? I have to ask Even, but he'll say okay! Angelica will come, too!

Yeah! I finished the Talkie Toaster and I wanna show you! Where do you wanna meet! This'll be fun! Yay!

[lilyground]

Cool, okay! We can meet at the Rotisserie! I'll get Even to take me there.

[screwyoubob]

Okay! I'll see you there!

[screwyoubob]

Wait!

[screwyoubob]

Even?

[lilyground]

Yeah, um-he won't let me go anywhere alone anymore. I promise he won't hurt you.

[screwyoubob]

[lilyground]

Please, he won't-I promise he won't hurt you... I won't let him.

[screwyoubob]

If you're sure okay I guess I can trust Lily she's a good person and she's nice so I can trust her

I hope he doesn't put a knife in my eye again.

It really hurt, Lily.

[lilyground]

You can trust me, he won't hurt you. I-

Is that what he did?

He won't do that.

[screwyoubob]

Promise? Really?

[lilyground]

Promise.

[screwyoubob]

So I'll meet you there, okay?

[He's already in the elevator, moving towards the Rotisserie. He's going to play it safe, though, and be in ooze form when she arrives and close to a hiding spot.

The mechanic is terrified of Even.]

[lilyground]

Sure, okay! I'll ask Even.

[lilyground]

Even said okay! We'll be there soon.

[And they're there in a few minutes. Lily, clutching Even's hand tightly, looks around and frowns.]

Oh. He's not here, I guess.

[She looks up at him, her tiny face stern.]

Don't be mean to him, okay? Promise.
