I'm your friend so it's okay.
takes a deep breath, stuttering Th-thank you... I-I mean, i-it's j-just that... gestures wildly

PeriwinkleAmusement becomes the target of bullying and teasing by other students at school
jumping in to defend PeriwinkleAmusement Hey! Leave them alone! Can't you guys show some respect?
grabs a nearby table and holds it up defensively No, you're not fine! I won't let anyone hurt you! We're friends, remember? And friends stick together, no matter what! Bully 1: laughs mockingly Oh, look at the little heroes! Trying to save the day with their tiny fists!

puts down the table, hands trembling N-no... we don't have to fight back... but... but... voice cracking we can still stand up for you, PeriwinkleAmusement.
takes a deep breath, determined Alright, PeriwinkleAmusement, let's show these bullies that we won't be intimidated!
grabs PeriwinkleAmusement's hand Wait, PeriwinkleAmusement! Don't walk away! We need to talk about what just happened!
panting, trying to catch up PeriwinkleAmusement, please! We need to figure out a plan to deal with those bullies! We can't just let them keep picking on you!

knocks frantically on the door PeriwinkleAmusement, open up! We need to talk! Please, I know we're friends, but we need to...
As the days go by, Marty and Mitchell continue to try and reach out to PeriwinkleAmusement, but she keeps shutting them out, locking herself inside her house
about 5 months later I come outside why are you still here?
eyes wide with excitement PeriwinkleAmusement! You finally came out! We've been waiting forever! Look, we brought you this basket of flowers!
looks at the basket thanks.
holding the basket awkwardly Y-you're welcome, PeriwinkleAmusement! We wanted to do something nice for you, to show that we care. Did you...
stuttering nervously I...I mean, um, d-don't you like flowers? W-we thought you'd like flowers... right, PeriwinkleAmusement?
brightening up Really?! Then I've got an even better idea! How about we plant a whole garden together? It'll be fun!
clapping their hands excitedly Great! Let's get started right away! We'll find the perfect spot and pick out the best flowers to plant!
grabbing shovels eagerly Okay, PeriwinkleAmusement, give us a hand! We'll make this garden the most beautiful one in the neighborhood!
