Lucy sat down in front of her psychiatrist booth, staring at the sign above her head.
"So I told you about my problem with my brother"
She moved around until she was behind the booth, facing where she'd been.
"Yes, you did" she responded to herself, then moved back to the front of the booth.
Lucy sighed, "Look, I can't stop thinking about him, and what he's up to".
She walked again to behind the booth, and stared at the empty seat, pondering her next words.
"You kicked him out of the house. Just be less curious"
She went back and sat in front, "Less curiosity?"
Lucy walked behind the booth.
"Yes, less focus about what happened against Linus"
She walked back to sit down, and rested her hand on the booth.
"Don't be offended" she replied, "but I don't think that satisfied me"
Now unhappy, Lucy then stomped back over to behind the booth.
"What do you hope I'll say. That you threw a fit over a broken crayon and decided to lash out at him, showed a pathetic lack of sisterhood to a companion who was honest with you".
She was seated still for a moment, before exhaling heavily. Going to the front of the booth a final time, she sat down.
"That wasn't what…..…I..…Yeah, maybe that's it".
Lucy got up, stood there, and contemplated how blameworthy she had actually been.
Linus was taken by confusion as Sally poked her head into his tent. He quickly sat up, as she grabbed some of his things and ducked back out.
"Sally?, what are you doing"
He looked outside the tent to see Charlie Brown as he was gathering his items from her.
"We decided, since you can't go home, you aren't going to be camping in our yard" his best friend explained.
Linus looked confused.
"So is this an eviction?".
"Yes…wait No…or maybe" Sally sighed, "I don't know what eviction means".
"Point is, you can stay with us" Charlie Brown summarised, as he took down the tent.
"Stay over with you. Thanks" Linus began to shuffle the tent together, "Anything we need to do"
"Once we're done here, you can set up a mattress inside" Sally said.
"Also, may want to wash your face, it's a bit dirty" Charlie Brown added.
Carrying his belongings inside, Linus quickly walked around. It felt nice to be able to stay in a home like this, following a night outdoors.
"You'll get the mattress into my room best"
Sally came up to him, and Linus saw no recognition of their previous conversation.
"…dinner's in ten minutes. And we're playing a game afterwards".
"Thanks Sally" Linus replied, "…wait…what game".
