I'm not sure why I feel so good today but it's such a nice feeling! This is going to be one of those days where nothing can go wrong, I can tell.

You know what makes me really happy? Living like this. All communal, you know. It's like a big sleepover. I adore sleepovers. Everyone is so cozy and relaxed and happy and it's simply wonderful. It's

Sleepovers are the BEST!

[spinningdiabolo]

Aren't they? I wish I could have them every day. ...do you think your friend Rue likes them, too?

[quackingly]

Rue? Hm...she might...I bet she would if we tried!

[spinningdiabolo]

That would be so much fun! She's so pretty, too, isn't she? I still need to see all of you dance one of these days.

[quackingly]

Rue? Yeah, she's really really pretty. A really elegant dancer, too.

[spinningdiabolo]

What's it like dancing together? Have you ever done it before?

[quackingly]

Yeah, a few times! We've danced together in productions before, and we had to dance together once in class because someone took Rue's partner. We actually did really well although I think it was mostly because she was making me look good.

[spinningdiabolo]

Oh, I'm sure you're plenty good yourself.

[quackingly]

Well, I've gotten better than I used to be, at least!

[spinningdiabolo]

That's what's more important anyway! At least that's what my friends at home always say.

[quackingly]

Yeah, that's what I try to think, too.

[spinningdiabolo]

There you go, then! I bet you two look gorgeous together... [She sighs and stares off into space a bit dreamily]

[quackingly]

W-well, Rue looks gorgeous with anyone...but particularly Mytho.

[spinningdiabolo]

...who?

[quackingly]

Her prince, and her partner. ...He's not here, he left a little while ago.
