Sarah sighed. "Can you take her for a walk? I want to go to the library."
Mia decided that would be a good idea.

It was a beautiful spring morning in Tartosa

And then... was that Quinn?

Mia had a moment of straight-up panic.
"Brook, did she see me? What do I say??"
"You've got this," said Brook, using Mia's voice. "She's totally into you, remember?"

Mia said a sweet hello, with what she hoped was charming awkwardness

And then out of the blue Quinn yelled at her.

Thus Mia learned a thing or two about Quinn's personality.

"You want to kiss me at night and yell at me during the day? I don't need that in my life."

"Whatever," said Quinn. "Call me next time you get lonely."

"I don't think I'll ever be that lonely," said Mia.
"I made a large pet poop over there," said Brook, using Mia's voice.
"Oh. Maybe that's what set her off?"
"Who cares?" said Brook, using Mia's voice. "Like you said. You don't need that in your life."
"You're right," said Mia. "I guess I should clean that up now."
"Leave it," said Brook, using Mia's voice. "Maybe she'll step in it."

Orlando the librarian offered helpful advice without getting in the way. Research and debate skill would be helpful. So would logic. And maybe some practice writing would be good, too? It had been a while since her last schoolwork in writing.

Sarah stopped by the gym with Sergio and Drake for a little while before returning home...

...To some cupcakes.

"Surprise!" said Mia.
"Why are these here?"
"No reason!"
Impulsive people do have their advantages, thought Sarah, taking a bite of cupcake. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Delicious.

"I know you're tired, but how about putting our dancing shoes on for a little while?" asked the impulsive person.

Sarah tactfully slid around Mia to re-establish her personal space without raising a complaint about it.
And she had fun dancing with Mia from over there.
