[Hi Pickey! Ozma's just come bustling out of the the bakery, complete with a nice bundle of goodies. She peers around the corner at him, and offers a sort-of smile.
[He can hardly be blamed for that- Ozma doesn't struggle against the culture of the town like most of the others do, and blends in fairly well. Luckily though, she's friendly enough, and a real smile spreads across her face now.]
You happen to be in one of the best places for that then.

[Yup. That is indeed a large bird fighting with a flaming monkey.
HOLY COW.
This is SO FREAKIN' COOL.
However, Picky is bad at verbalizing these things, and is currently standing there, jaw slack, watching this giant bird vs. fire monkey showdown with awe.]
[A big burning monkey and an equally large bird are pretty attention-grabbing. However, the voice calling out commands seems like a pretty good clue in the grand mystery of "what the hay is going on, here." He turns his head, spots the boy with the little yellow creature, and sidles quickly on over.
He's making sure to give the fighting animals a wide, wide, wiiiiiide berth.]

[And then he makes some gagging noises into the phone to demonstrate. Hooray for being 8.]

That's pretty weird.

OH NO. He had ALWAYS SUSPECTED THIS.]
I won't! I totally won't eat the oatmeal!
[Why shouldn't he trust the voice on the phone? It was trying to be helpful!]
What else should I know? What else?

What? Bugged?!
[There's the sound of a lot of flailing around on the other end. And some flapping. And some stomping. And then, the voice of an irritated drone-mom.]
"Picky! Put your clothes back on this instant!"
...o-okay.
[And there is more rustling. And additional delay. Until finally, the kid speaks again.]
I-I think I got all the bugs out.

You can bet she recognizes the resemblance.]

N-no! Just... just watching things. People. Just watching people.

[He looks all around, anxiously. Pokey's warnings and some of the stranger kids in the lunch room had put him on edge.]
...I'm just being careful.

[As the ape spews flames from its mouth at the bird, Picky may notice a boy and his oversized yellow mouse on the sidelines.]
Yeah, keep it up! Staraptor, dodge and use your Aerial Ace! Infernape, Dig!
