[DAD IS CALLING!

ACCEPT OR DECLINE]


"Hey, bud. How have you been?"

"Hey, dad. I've been pretty good. You?"

"Great. The shelter's doing great,
thank your brother for all those donations.
"

"Oh, yeah, he made sure to boast
about it at least five times."

"*Laughter* I'm sure. Hey, Andy!
Andromeda!
"

"What?!"

"Oh dear God."

"Come see your big brother."

"EROS?!"

[The phone was yanked
out of Apollo's hand]

"Hey, princess."

"Hi, Eros. I miss you."

"Aww, I miss you too but I'll be there
to pick you up from school on Friday
like always. How's school, anyway?"

"It's alright. There's a new kid
in school I made friends with."

"Girl or boy?"

"They say they're a girl but they're confused.
Whatever that means."

"Ohh. Andy, it just means that person
was born in the body of a girl but
they're figuring out if they were
supposed to be a boy instead."

"Ohhh, that makes way more sense!
Cause they said their mummy turned into
their daddy and then their other daddy left them
and I just thought that was really really mean."

"That is really mean. You be nice to them,
Andy, they're going through a rough time."

"Yeah, I am. We're gonna have a
playdate on Friday!"

"So, I'm picking them up too?"

"Is that okay?"

"Of course, princess. Whatever you want."

"Where's Eddie?"

"Uhhh, hang on. Eddie! Eddie, get your butt in here!"

"What do you want?"

"Andy just wants to talk to you.
Why do you look so guilty about something?"

"No reason.

Hey, princess!"

"Hey, Eddie!"

"Hmmm."
