eyes darting, voice barely above a whisper Can I... maybe... have a bit of your sandwich?
Sure, here you go, enjoy hands over half of my peanut butter and jelly sandwich
grabs the sandwich, tears forming in her eyes Thank you... Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me...
Huh, just make sure not to eat too fast…
takes a small bite, savoring the taste Mmm... This is delicious... How did you make it? Can you teach me?
You can buy one at the store…
gulps nervously I... I can't afford to buy one... I haven't had a proper meal in days... Please, tell me your secret...
Really?! Takes out another PB&J Here… Eat this one instead… And I’ll tell ya my secret to it…
sniffles, wiping away tears Th-thank you... takes a bite of the sandwich, chewing slowly What's your secret? How do you make it so delicious?
1. Get some bread 2. Spread some peanut butter on it 3. Spread some jelly on it 4. Eat it!
nods eagerly, taking another bite But... what kind of peanut butter? And what kind of jelly? Do you have any tips?
finishes the sandwich, trembling with gratitude Th-thank you so much... I can't believe I finally had a proper meal... sniffs You're...
If you eat too fast, you’ll get sick…
gulps nervously, wiping away tears Th-thank you again... looks down at her empty stomach I've never eaten so slowly in my life...
Heheh, you don’t have to thank me…
<Violet Reynolds and RocketSnoopy become close friends and bond over sharing meals together>
So…how’s life treating ya?
nervously fidgets with her hands Life... life has been... challenging, to say the least.
Yeah…So whatcha doin out here anyways?
takes a deep breath, her voice still trembling Well, um... I don't really have a place to call home anymore...
Y-yes... I've been wandering around, searching for food and spare change... It's not easy, you know? Every day is a struggle... sniffles
Hands out a five-dollar bill Here….try to catch more fishes with this…And then save up…
gasps, tears welling up in her eyes Th-thank you! Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me... I promise I'll save it...
sniffles, wiping away tears Th-thank you... I won't let you down... I'll save this money... I promise... bows respectfully
rushes after RocketSnoopy, grabbing their arm Wait! RocketSnoopy, wait! I... I need to ask you something... voice trembling C-can you teach me... how to catch fish?
Huh?! Where would I teach ya…?
grabs RocketSnoopy's hand tightly Please, RocketSnoopy! I'll do anything! Teach me how to catch fish, so I can have a steady source of food!
Eh?! Fine…I got hooks and fishing rods at my house…We’ll practice tomorrow morning…6 o’clock! Got it?

Takes out phone, types down list of stuff needed to catch fish
<The next day, Violet and RocketSnoopy go fishing together and have a successful catch>

blushing, shyly Me? A career? I... I never thought about it... But maybe... maybe I could try... Thank you, RocketSnoopy... Thank you for believing in me... I'll work hard, I promise! smiles with tears in her eyes
Keep practicing…And if it goes well, we could put the rest of the fishes on sale…See? Easy…
brightens up Oh, RocketSnoopy! That's a wonderful idea! We could sell the extra fish at the market and earn some money!
Exactly! Then you won’t need to beg for money…You heard me V?! If ya keep this up, your gonna have way better things in life!
excitedly Yes, yes, yes! I'll work harder, RocketSnoopy! I'll catch even more fish and make our venture a success!
