[Anyone who drops by the dairy between the hours of three PM and five PM on Tuesday will find that the door's been unlocked. Even though the door's shut, there's a strange humming sound coming from inside the building.
Careful if you want to try to peek inside, though. You may not like what you find.]

...he needed to do something other than be scared. Like... like maybe... hey, that girl over there, who was she again?]
H... hey. You waiting for someone...?
no subject
Yeah...
Are you?
no subject
[He shuffles over a little closer, and stuffs his hands into his pockets.]
I bet it's dangerous in there. But he's done dangerous stuff. So.... yeah. I just have to wait.
Who're you waiting for?
no subject
[But she still wishes that everyone could have stayed home.]
no subject
[He dares get a little excited at the idea. It's kind of exciting. And more comforting than worrying about it.]
no subject
Do you really think they might actually fix the town?
no subject
[He didn't look completely sure, but his hope wasn't totally gone.
no subject
We just have to believe, right? And not give up. And maybe someday this town really could be a happy place to live.
no subject
[He trails off a little. Oh dear. This isn't coming out nearly as cool as he was hoping it would...]
...we have to help out all the older people. Because we're all in this place together, yeah?
no subject
[They just have to think of something. Anything that would be useful to the big kids or the grown-ups.]
no subject
[Everything suddenly feels so much more optimistic. And then it hits him. He hadn't even introduced himself!]
Uh.. I'm Picky, by the way! I... I forget your name, you're...?
no subject
no subject
Yeah, that's me! You know him?
no subject
no subject
[Something about this doesn't sound right. Pokey's different here, sure, but different enough that a girl his age considers him a bestest friend ever?
He's going to have to keep an eye on this.]
He's not... mean or anything?
no subject
[She is appalled by the very idea.]
Why would he be mean?
no subject
[Oh man, how's he even going to explain this?]
I guess, I mean... he's not mean, at least, not on purpose... usually... I guess, I'm his brother. So he can bug me and I can bug him and we bug each other but it's okay because we don't really really mean it or anything!
[He takes a breath.]
...so he's really nice to you?
no subject
no subject
[He was nice to this girl. Nice and not at all mean or jerkish or name-calling or greedy or... or anything?
He stuffed his hands deep into his pockets and forced a smile onto his face. He shouldn't be jealous. Shouldn't. Doesn't matter, his brother's his brother even if...]
That's... really nice. Everyone's... gotta have someone like that. Yeah.
no subject
I know! Why don't you come and play with us next time? It'll be real fun.
no subject
[His answer is a lot more honest, this time around. Even if there's a part of him that wants to do this so he can see exactly how Pokey will act. So he can understand why things are like Mindy says they are.]
Once all of this is figured out, we can all get together! I... maybe we can play in the snow fort? We made a snow fort!
