The tall green sprite typed tirelessly at her lap top, entering in sales for the day. The diner had been busy
that afternoon. Sprites and bi nomes had crowded in after the concert in the park. Even though it had
been a great day for sales, Dot was glad it was over. She had worked hard that day and was ready for a
break.
The bell on the diner door drew Dot from her work. She was sure she had locked that stupid
door. But what Main Framer was coming in at this time of night?
"We're closed. Come back in the morning." Dot said in a weary and agitated voice.
"Sorry to bug ya, shugah. Just thought Ah'd drop by to see how your day went." Dot looked up

"I haven't seen you all day! I thought you were at the concert." Mouse shook her head.
"Actually Ah was spending the day hiding from that surfer. Ah swear! Ya kiss someone right

"Tell me about it! How many times to I have to smack that guardian's hand before he gets the

"Well ya have been known to give the boy mixed signals, shugah."
"Oh and you haven't?!?" Dot started. "Besides, like you said, I thought I was going to be
deleted. And he is a good friend." Mouse smoothly slid her arm around Dot's shoulders.
"No one's mad at ya, honey. Especially not me."
"Well that's good to know." Dot smiled. She snapped her lap top closed. Mouse's arm moved
from around Dot's shoulders to around her waist.
"Ya done here?" Mouse asked.
"Yeah." Dot sighed.
"Good." Mouse brushed her lips across Dot's forehead. "Let's go home, shugah..."
