[Allison waves at the camera until her screen goes blank...then drops her comm and rolls out of bed so fast she falls flat on her uncoordinated little face.
It doesn't even hurt. Allison just made a new friend.
Allison doesn't make new friends. Well, hardly at all. Daddy's work makes them move too much for her to make friends, but Mommy and Daddy always ask so she makes up friends sometimes. Occasionally, she gets lucky and she makes a sort-of friend, someone who will come over to play a couple of times, or someone whose mommy will force them to invite her to a party, but friends that are hers, friends who want to play with her even though their mommy didn't make them be nice to the new girl...
Allison's never had a friend like that before.
So she changes her clothes very fast, finding some jeans and a t-shirt in her size amidst a whole closet of grown up clothes she doesn't recognize. She brushes her hair very carefully in the bathroom (standing on a chair she drags in so she can reach the mirror), brushes her teeth...and for good measure, she tries to brush Duchess too.
Just a little.
She hurries around, making sure everything is perfect: Duchess has a nest on the couch, she has a pinch of fairy dust in a napkin to give to Lydia, she has her Nerf bow and arrows to show off, and she even brings out Mister Bear to sit with Duchess.
And she doesn't show Mister Bear to anybody. Mommy always scowls at her when she sleeps with Mister Bear, so she hides him even though Daddy says it's okay.
Lydia's her friend, so Lydia gets to meet Mister Bear.]
