Pester
Franklin saw Peppermint Patty walking around aimlessly in the playground during lunch. Without Marcie, which was something that he found rather unusual. The two girls were unseperable.
"Where's Marcie?" he asked her.
"She's been gone the whole day so far!" she snapped, "Apparently, she got stomach flu or something!"
Franklin felt a bit bad for not noticing Marcie's absence for three whole hours. She was one of his friends, after all. Peppermint Patty continued to talk.
"Now I'm lonely! I have nobody to bother! When Marcie is here, I can always bother her, you know, like ask her to lend me a pencil and stuff! She was the only one who tolerated my dumbness when it came to school work!"
"To be honest with you, Patricia," whispered Franklin, "I tolerate it, too."
"Oh," she murmured. Then, she grinned.
"Can I bother you today?"
He rolled his eyes.
"You completely missed the point, Patricia."
"Well, I take that as a 'yes', then, Franklin."
(A/N: Hopefully Franklin is in character. He didn't appear in the strips too often, so I think he never really had as much character development as the other characters.)
