It was a melancholy Claire who had gone to bed late Friday night after Dinah's birthday party. Thanks to Fandom, it was a happy, bouncy, seven year old Claire who woke up on Saturday morning

Eighteen-year-old Dinah went to bed... and eighteen-year-old Dinah woke up slowly, and blinked over at the little girl bouncing on the bed across from hers. The little girl who looked just like Claire. Wuh-oh.
Gaaaah, better than an alarm clock. Dinah's eyes shot wide in reaction, and she said, "Inside voice," automatically from ages of babysitting, then said, "On the desk over there. Red tin. Bring me one too?"
Wait. Maybe she shouldn't feed her tiny roomie cookies?
Dinah grinned, highly entertained. "I don't know, can we?" she teased. "I don't see any milk here."
It was sweet that Claire got a weekend of kid-ville right now when she really, desperately needed it. Dinah just hoped that Monday wouldn't find her even sadder after it was over.
"Isn't it?" Dinah laughed, and patted the space on the bed next to her, the yawned, grabbing the mugs. "Bring 'em right over here. We'll have milk and cookies for breakfast."
Well, since there was no way she was studying for her make-up Finals like this.... "Sure. I bet there's lots of other kids out there to play with today," Dinah said, pouring the milk into the mugs, then flipping the lid of the tin and handing Claire a cookie. "Wouldn't want them to play by themselves, would we?"
"...morning?"

Sorry, Dinah, her volume setting is defaulted to ten.

That was moderately less loud and Claire scampered across the room to the red tin which she then ran to bring to Dinah.
"Can we have milk with our cookies?"

Oops, there was that loud volume again. She picked up the milk and turned back, eyes going super wide while she watched Dinah float the mugs.
"That is SO COOL."

Claire handed the carton of milk to Dinah and then bounced up on the bed. "And then can we go play at the park?"

Look, she might as well get all the fun she could out of the tiny roomie while she had her.
