it's a kind of magic --

SCHMOOPSIEPOO.

How are you? Tell me about your holidays. And life. And... shit. I MISS YOU. I WANT YOU TO LOVE ON ME.

FRANK!

[Frank Longbottom]

Lucy!

I was just thinking about you! I'm doing okay. The apartment feels empty without you girls. Of course, I've still got Alice, and she's as loud as three, but you were a sweet addition either way. My holidays are surprisingly exciting, considering what my original plans were.

I AM LOVING ON YOU ALL YOU WANT. How are you doing?

[Lucy Murphy]

OHO. Were you now?! That just tickles me pink, really. How's Alice been? I miss you, it's quite pathetic considering I've just seen you.

And I'm doing great! Currently being kicked in the pelvis, but that's alright. I think dragging Will home with me for the holidays was one of my best ideas yet, to be honest. Terribly amusing seeing him dealing with my family.

YOU ARE THOROUGHLY MISSED, TOO. I don't know what is it about you that makes me want to write out in capital letters all the time. It's rather contagious, darling. Alice is great, actually. She's off on some wilderness trip with Coco Calloway. Particularly amusing really.

Ah, that's not good. Kicking's a good sign, though, right? My mom always complained that I played karate in her womb while I was in there. I don't know what happened to that kid. And oh, lord, the poor bloke. How's he doing, by the way? Send him my Holiday greetings.

...or, New Year's, I suppose.

You know, you're not the only person who has told me this. I believe it must be because I am so very excitable and... well, loud. And that sounds fun... I do hope they're being safe. I don't want my Coconut and Al getting into a world of trouble with a bear or something, that would be just terrible.

Yes, well, it has its pros and cons. I mean, it's nice to know he's active/alive, I suppose, but... well being kicked from the inside is not exactly my cup of tea. I guess I should have to get used to it. Eventually he'll come out and kick me on my outside parts too. Wilhelm/Billy/Billiam/Billus/Wilfred/Will is doing magnificently. He wishes you a Happy Holidays as well!

How are other things? ...Work? ........Giiiirls...?

[Frank Longbottom]

You are loud. And excitable. Don't worry, we all still love you. Ah, I wouldn't put it past them, not even a bear. Let's just hope they come back in one piece--or the bear in one piece, at any rate.

Right. Well, I wouldn't really know anything about pregnancies... but I do wish you my best! Life is good. Slow, boring. But boring is good these days, I suppose.

Isn't it supposed to be weird to talk to you about my girls?

[Lucy Murphy]

THE ONLY REASON THEY WOULDN'T COME BACK IN ONE PIECE IS IF THE BEAR TORE THEM UP INTO TINY PIECES OF HIS DINNER. OH GOD.

Boring is probably much safer than not.

Psh. As if I care.

[Frank Longbottom]

...let's knock on wood and cross our fingers that the hypothetical bear had a good breakfast, then.

Yes, boring is safer, that's what I meant. Although safe can be exciting too, I suppose... if you're into that kind of stuff. And well, if you insist. I've been seeing a couple of girls Evans has introduced me to. Just casual dating, widening my field since the whole Alice ordeal. I've been trying to get over her, and you know what, now that I'm explaining it to you, I think it's working.

I haven't thought of her in weeks... Which is good, I suppose. Since I doubt she's been thinking about me. So, yes. Those girls. Nobody's really come off as someone I'd like to date again, though. So far.
