The mun was not going to post Boo in this weekend. She was going to take some time to finish slowtimes and work on small plotty things. However, the mun forgot that she had IDEAS. She also forgot that she, too, is helpless against the cuteness that is Boo. And SO, here we are.

Boo is outside her blanket fort. She appears to be All Better! from last week's being sick thing. She's hopping around and singing. On top of her blanket fort there is a half eaten plate of cake and a pink Hello Kitty! sippy filled with lukewarm hot chocolate.
Boo has definitely been affected by the people she's met here.

It should be noted what Boo is wearing! She has on a white t-shirt with a large, red " Hello, My Name Is " logo on it. And in the name portion of the logo "Boo!" appears to be handwritten on it. (except it's not hand written; it's printed on there like the rest) On the rest of the shirt there are smaller and different colored "Hello, My Name Is" logos, with all of the names she's called on them. "Boo!" is there a few more times, "Grace" and "Gracie" are on there at least two times each, "Half Pint," "Squirt" "Zow" "Mike" and "Mike Wizowski" are also featured prominently. There is also "Little Bit", "Little One" "Cutie" and possibly several others that the mun has forgotten.

She also has on black jean shorts and white bunny house shoes that JINGLES WHEN SHE MOVES HER FEET. This might explain why she's dancing around. SHE LOVES HER NEW SHOES!

It's unclear where Boo got all these items, or how they got onto her person. But she has them on and she LOVES THEM and thus it's all happy making in the end.

Kate's searching for Fred, too.

"Not bye-bye," she assures Boo with a shake of her head. "He's just somewhere ... else ... right now."

He is, in fact, swimming in an almost lazy circle about four feet to Boo's left.

Boo's face is very sad and it sounds like her heart is breaking. "Byebye?" SAD BOO APPROACHING! WITH POSSIBLE TEARS!

"No, sweetheart, he's just swimming — "

Kate hears the sadness in Boo's voice and spots the Imminent Sad on her features, and redoubles her efforts to spot Fred.

" ... he's right there!" she says with a relieved grin, pointing to Fred's current "hiding" spot.

OOOOOO!

FRANTIC LOOKING!

Gleeful! "HII F'ED ISSS NO BYEBYE!"

She waves at him.

And then continues her efforts to try to catch him.

Kate doesn't hope to swallow the laugh that escapes when Boo waves at Fred.

"See? He's just swimming around, Boo — the lake is his home. Like his bedroom."

It's possible Boo's paying less than zero percent attention to Kate's explanation, as she's a little preoccupied with the Fred pursuit.

The pursuit is most of the fun, you know.

Except when it stops.

Fred successfully thwarts every single move that Boo makes. As such he moves begin to slow down and then she's just watching him swim. With a forlorn expression.

"No F'ed Iss?"

Kate headtilts a little, studying lethargic-ish!Boo and glancing toward Fred.

"Fred's fine, but how're you feeling, half-pint? Tired at all?"

She holds out her arms to see if Boo would like to be picked up.

Boo points to Fred The Fish.

"iiisssss."

She makes grabbing motions.

"F'ed issss."

Kate nods.

"He's a good fish, but he needs to stay in the water so he can breathe."

She frowns.

And then has an idea!

She points to bar.

"Isss!"

Kate follows the pointing to the bar, then looks down at Boo again.

" -- in the tank?"

She glances at Fred, a little dubiously.

They've got no way to safely transport him to said tank at the moment.

Boo nods excitedly - accidentally flinging water all over the place as she does. Her hair and arms and, pretty much everywhere is dripppppping.

"F'ed iiissssss!" She points to the water, then to bar. "Mine!"

Kate nods and hooks a lock of damp hair behind one ear.

"Well, okay," she says slowly, looking from Boo to the bar, then back to Boo. "But here's the thing — we'll have to go back to Bar and ask for something to carry Fred in. We can't just lift him out of the water, all right?"

Boo doesn't understand. All she understands is that Fred is not in her hands or in the tank (that's still in bar) and that this is unacceptable.

"F'ed iss!" She pouts.

Kate nods again and crouches, so she's nearly level with Boo.

"I know you want Fred right now, but we need to get him a little house first," she explains, "to carry him inside to his tank."

And by "little house," Kate totally means "a plastic bag."

Fred gets a house? Boo approves of this idea!

She splashes in a hurried fashion toward the shore, then turns around and looks at Kate like 'What are you still doing there?'

Then she skipruns toward the bar.

Kate laughs and splashes out of the shallows.

"Right behind you," she calls, hurrying after speeding!Boo. "Careful on the steps, Gracie."

Boo is always careful!

Ish.

Definitely careful-ish.

Unless, of course, being careful interferes with what she wants to do.
Then whole 'careful' idea kind of goes out the window.

She runs over to Bar. "F'd iisss hos'!"

Clearly, getting Fred a tiny house is on the What Boo Wants to Do list.

Kate reaches the bar a few seconds later and grins at Boo's request.

"Bar, can we have a plastic bag to hold a small fish, please?"

When it appears, she holds it up for Boo's inspection.

"Fred will only have to stay in this for a few minutes, then we'll put him in his real house," she says, pointing to the ten-gallon tank on the counter. "Sound like a plan?"

Boo looks at the plastic bag with mounds of uncertainty. She points to it.

"No hos" shaking her head.

"This is just to get Fred from the lake to his real house," she tells Boo gently. "Because that," and she points to the ten-gallon tank once more, "will be his real house. With water and — "

Before Kate can explain further, the ten-gallon tank is suddenly filled with water, colorful pebbles, a piece of bright pink plastic "coral," and underwater foliage.

There's also a small plastic diver and a tiny treasure chest filled with gold coins.

Boo looks at the tank with continued uncertainly.

She points to Bar.
"F'ed isss hos!"

A brightly colored Fred-sized house appears in the bottom of the tank and Boo beams. "Lesdoe!" She heads back towards the door outside.

"Oh, nice," Kate laughs in approval.

Bag in hand and still smiling, she follows Boo back to the lakeshore.

Boo runs to the lake and jumps in. She splashes her way to where Fred was seen last and keeps an eye out for any indication of her new pet's whereabouts.

Kate wades in behind Boo, scanning the water.

"Okay, Boo, let's be super-still for a second and see if Fred swims over."

She peers into the water, but there's no sign of Fred just yet, from what Kate can see.
