Pffft giggle.

Chris Tucker just cannot pronounce three words of chinese.

That's giggleworthy too!

"Alright, that's it. Good show?"

"Good show!"

Audrey goes to gather up the snack wrappers, only to discover that they're all already disappeared by the Bowers. 

"Still not used to that," she mutters.

"Yeah, it can be a little surprising at first." She slugs back the last of her Crush. "Thanks for giving me this Crush stuff by the way, it's good."

"S'no problem! And I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. Maybe another time?"

"Yeah, maybe!"

She curls up in bed and considers for a little while.

... She eats the rest of her cherry candies thinking about it. She's not really up to... that... right now, is she? 

What she really needs is another friend. Or something like that. 

Maybe she should go walk the gardens and let the Bowers nudge her where she should be. 

... She could do that.

She'll wear her scarlet dress. Pick any direction, it doesn't matter. 

Out, into the gardens. There are roses and hyacinths and a red-lacquered bridge and across it a black marble statue of two women holding hands. She turns left; a white marble statue of a heart in chains confronts her amid the hedges. She turns right past it; there's a long hedgerow of roses and lilies. Lilies? She turns left, and -
