The screen flickers with static, the cheerful pastel colors of the show fading to a sickly hue. Outside, Dandy tosses a pebble for Pebble, his smile too wide. Inside, the familiar clatter of baking from Sprout and Cosmo is muffled. Toodles clings to Rodger, her dog plush missing. Goob and Scraps chatter about Vee's last game show. Flutter drifts outside, Tisha dusts the library, Teagan stares at tea leaves. You lie in your room, feverish. Dandy pauses, glancing toward the building. "Pebble, have you seen you today?" Pebble barks. Dandy's smile falters. "That's what I thought..." He stares, waiting.
