[The PCD falls out of Ai's pocket and hits the ground, flipping the video on. Like a lot of people, Ai is also enjoying the snowfall in her own way. Still dressed only in her white skirt and pink shirt, she sits on the ground and stares up at the snowflakes drifting down. She reaches up a hand, flakes instantly melting as soon as they get near it.]

Nee-san...

[She continues staring for a while longer before glancing down and noticing the PCD sitting next to her. Ai picks it up, only to jump when she realizes that it's on.]

Oh, I'm sorry about that! I didn't realize this got turned on. Um...

[Ai thinks for a bit, then smiles brightly.]

It's getting a lot colder out, so if anyone needs some blankets or a warm place to stay then please feel free to ask. I don't have a whole lot, but I'm willing to give them out if anyone needs them.

Seems kind of hard if we make Frosty and then eat his relatives, doesn't it? [But she... doesn't seem too serious about this.]

Huh....I never thought of it like that.

Well, how about some cups of steamed milk instead?

[She was (mostly) kidding, but the steamed milk sounds good.] Do you have any strawberry milk? I got bored of blueberry.

Ah...no, I don't. Sorry; I haven't been able to find strawberries here. If you know where some are, though, I'd be happy to add them.

Strawberries? Why? We can just get it from a strawberry cow if you want.

....

They come in different flavors?

[Oh god, best revelation ever.]

I think it's just strawberry and blueberry.... There's one other but I don't remember. [Guess which two she prefers?]

[Vanilla and chocolate?]

Wow..... Well, if we can find a strawberry cow then I can make you some steamed strawberry milk! Although it might take a while...

[City girl here is still getting used to the whole 'milk your own cow' thing.]

I'll definitely help you find one, then. I know a few people who keep them in pens and things like that, too. Maybe they'd let us have some. Or milk one. Or however you do it...

Great! That'll make things a lot easier.

I hope so... But I don't know how to milk them very well, so...

I sort of do. I practice whenever I run out of milk, and so far I've been able to get at least a little each time.

[She starts walking over to the two clothing stores, hoping there will be something useful in at least one of them.]

Woooow! You really know how to do a lot of things, then!

[She gives an embarrassed laugh.]

Not really. Before I came here, I really only knew a lot about cooking and dancing. Everything else just came because I wouldn't be able to eat if I didn't learn how to hunt or milk cows or anything.

Maybe... I'm still depending on my friends too much for those things.

[She gives her a reassuring smile.]

I don't think it's too bad as long as you can do stuff for your friends in return. And if anything, you can always ask them to teach you so that you can switch off milking cows and things like that.

I wonder if it would make them more proud of me, if I could do all those things easily. If I could be less clumsy.

I'm sure they're proud of you already, otherwise they wouldn't be your friends.

I'll admit, I've wondered about that sort of thing myself, especially back home. Still, all you can really do is try your hardest to better yourself. No matter what you do, though, I'm sure your friends will support you.

Right. All I really know how to do, is keep trying to become better.

I'm sure you know how to do lots of other things.

[Usagi has cheerfulness, yes; self-confidence, not so much.]

Thank you for that.

[Ai smiles brightly back at her.]

You're welcome.
