One year ago, on this date, Sara was a crumpled sobbing mess on the lake shore, clutching a red spandex costume to her chest.

This year, she's not doing anything so dramatic.

A candle is lit and she stares out at the continuing destruction, almost entranced.

She was, quite obviously, just waiting to be asked. She crawls up onto a chair and grabs one.

"I woulda brought milk, but I couldn't carry it."

She has, actually. She just hasn't quite pieced together what they do, though she did try making friends with one. It quite liked that, I think.

Yay, milk! Once the milk is poured, she carefully sips it, making sure not to get a milk mustache.

It's one of the things she's trained herself not to do, it gets on Mom and Daddy's nerves.

"I like to read, and go to school."

This cookie is very yummy.

"My favorite book is Rilla of Ingleside. I finished it a couple months ago."

Yes, she's six. Yes, she's read a ridiculous amount of books for her age.

That gets nods. "I read Anne and Rainbow Valley and Rilla. Miranda lost the other ones, though, so I haven't read them yet. What's your favorite book?"

"I like lots of other books, too. Like A Little Princess and The Secret Garden and the Narnia books. The Anne books are my favorite, though, 'cause I haven't finished them yet."

She has logic, it's amazing.

"I haven't read anything over again. There's too many books I haven't read!"

Absolutely precious.

"Not in my library, though. I've just got Miranda's old books."

She's like Matilda, in a way - she has to get books on her own, her parents don't care to get her any.

"Yes please." She pushes her glass forward a bit.

So polite. Comes from growing up in "society".

"The rats bring food?" She asks gleefully. "Far out!"

"Mom would say they're disgusting and unsanitary," Rilla points out.

Then she pauses. "But Mom doesn't like a lot of ace things."

"Nope. It's in my closet. Like Narnia!"
