[Dictated]

 [For the past few days Takato has been busily working on a new project.  He wanted to make it perfect, so he'd stayed in his room and started it over and over again until he was sure he had the perfect artwork.  

He had finally finished it this morning, and now he was standing in front of his door uncertainly.  He glances down at the large poster in his hand, then looks back at the door.  Finally he pulls out his journals and dictates a single question into it.]

Um, does anyone know a good way to put a drawing on a door?  I don't think I want to use tape, but I can't think of anything else.

Yeah, just wish for some sticky-tac. It's yellow and squishy and it's basically designed for doin' that and nothin' else.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Did you already draw the picture? If not, you could just draw on the door.

[biggestdreamer]

I already drew it. I thought it would be really rude to the castle to try and draw on it.

[biggestdreamer]

Eh, really? I've never heard of something like that before.

[hard_talker]

Yep! You tear off little pieces of it and roll 'em into balls ... and then you stick those to the back of your poster, on the corners. And it sticks the poster to the wall and doesn't leave holes or marks or take the paint up.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

I think of it as more of an honor.

[biggestdreamer]

That sounds perfect! Thanks.

[hard_talker]

Hey, no problem. What're you putting on your door?

[biggestdreamer]

A banner! Its to represent all my friends.

[biggestdreamer]

Mom and Dad always said it was rude to draw on anything except paper.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Really? Mother always let me paint on the walls.

[hard_talker]

Oh, hey, that sounds cool. Didja draw it yourself?

[biggestdreamer]

Eh, really? Mom always got really mad if I did that. Especially if it was in the bakery.

[biggestdreamer]

Yeah! I worked really hard on it.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Well, I guess it wasn't like anyone but her and I saw them...

[biggestdreamer]

You never had any visitors?

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Well... Not really.

[biggestdreamer]

That's awful. [Takato couldn't imagine never having any visitors. Wouldn't it be lonely? Like Culumon had been.] I'm sorry.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Thank you. It's okay, though! I'm very happy now, here.

[biggestdreamer]

...I'm glad. No one should ever have to be alone.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

Oh, I wasn't alone! I had Pascal!

[biggestdreamer]

Pascal? Who is that?

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

My best friend! He's a chameleon!

[biggestdreamer]

[The boy laughs.] He sounds amazing! I've never seen a real chameleon.

[ftssusstgsetfwe]

I wish he were here. He's really the best.
