Anne's gone...Anne Shirley, for those of you who knew 'er. Didn't turn up at the apartment for a day or so an' it weren't like 'er t'do that.

So I got worried an' checked that hall - Hall of the Missing? - an' 'er picture was up there.

'm glad she got t'go back 'ome to 'er family. I'll miss 'er though.

[in a softer voice] Guess it's just you an' me again, yeah, Tiger? [and there's a short answering bark from her dog before the feed cuts off.]

That's the way things go sometimes. Just remember that you'll get to go home someday, too.

Great! I'll get the water boiling.

[voice]

[freckleddoll]

Yeah. I remember. Sure takin' a while though.

Be there in a bit!

[voice]

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

That'll make it all the better when you go back, right?

I'll see you!

[voice]

[freckleddoll]

We don' remember when we go back though, do we?

[voice]

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Well... no. Not always, I guess. Some people do, though. I mean, I've talked to a couple of people who remembered things when they were at home. It'd be nice, I think--going home and getting to keep your memories.

[voice]

[freckleddoll]

They really do? Would be nice. Don' want t'forget you an' everyone else.

[voice]

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Mm hm, that's what they said.

Maybe it's best not to think about that now. No one really knows what happens after the City--when you leave permanently, I mean--so there's no sense worrying about it.

[voice]

[freckleddoll]

Yeah...we'll find somethin' more cheerful t'talk 'bout once I get there.

[voice]

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

And you know you're always welcome to come over whenever you want, right? Even if you don't need anything.

[voice]

[freckleddoll]

I know. Thanks, Penny. An' you too, yeah?

[voice]

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Sure thing, and thank you right back.
