A: around town

[There are always errands to be run and groceries to be picked up, so that's what Canada is up to, stopping at the park for a bit on her way to the grocery store, than easily carrying a few heavy bags back to Mitchell Road. She has a polar bear trailing behind her the whole time, and both of them are prone to being distracted by

B what hiatus

[hwamei]

I'm well! [ Because she clearly needed to know this. ]

Hey, hey, why does Canada celebrate Thanksgiving in October while America celebrates it in December?

<3

[welljustwatchme]

Because my sister's a sillypants.

[She actually pokerfaces her way through that before snorting.] No, I... well, it just happened that way. This works for me and that works for America.

[hwamei]

Hmm... [ She taps her chin. That sounds a little weird! ] but wouldn't it be more convenient if you celebrated it on the same day? That way, you can save money and celebrate it together. As a family!

[welljustwatchme]

[Awkward pause.]

We don't need to celebrate anything together to know we're family. Besides, one year she accidentally showed up just in time for turkey dinner. It made up for all the holidays we don't spend together.

[hwamei]

Hahaha! Yeah, I guess you're right. Teacher, Japan, Korea and Vietnam celebrate the same holidays on different days, but that doesn't mean [ slows down ] we're less of a family...

But having all that Chinese ham to myself would be a waste, you know! Like Canada's turkey! I'm sure Canada and America saved some money that time.

[welljustwatchme]

Well, not really. I just had fewer leftovers. I'm sure it didn't stop her from having her own six weeks later. It's a nice thought, though!

[hwamei]

Ah, that's right, America from your world is a girl, too, isn't she? She sounds a lot like the America I know. Is she fat?

[welljustwatchme]

She is. A girl, I mean! Not fat. Certainly not after the economic troubles we had last decade. [She means the 1930s.] Although I suppose she's quite a lot like the America I met here...

[hwamei]

What are you talking about? [ laughs! That America and his dot-com ventures. ] He's still eating tons of Big Macs a day, you know... but I guess you can't take those away from him even after what's been happening recently.

[welljustwatchme]

... Oh, right, different years. But I guess whatever a Big Mac is, America deserves it.

[hwamei]

Hehehe. He's always spreading himself too thin, though. Hey! Wanna hear some spoilers?

[welljustwatchme]

Well... sure, why not?

[hwamei]

Oh! Okay. Well... [ Trying to think of a good one hmm. ] In the future, America goes to the moon.

[welljustwatchme]

Really? That's neat.

[hwamei]

And um... Quinn gets pregnant!

[welljustwatchme]

Who?
