So, this whole ballot thing? Talk about a load. Personally? I ain't doin' it. But I gotta sinkin' feelin' that we're all screwed whether ya vote either way, 'r not at all. That's what Mayfield does, man!

[Action:

So now that whole Christmas debacle was over, it was time for things to proceed as normal. As normal as Scout walking down the street with a small, hyper beagle puppy on a leash seems normal. Now that everyone's done getting tortured for the holidays, Scout's picked up his Christmas present for Ai at the pet store. He's trying to keep it in line, but it's not like he can't keep up with it. It just wants to get into everyone's business. Also maybe it will entice cute girls to come over to say hello to them, so hopes Scout! Better look out for that puppy running about your feet, or these two speeding down the sidewalk, Scout laughing all the while.

Eventually he makes it to his home on Mitchell Road.]

Hey Ai! C'mere! I gotcha somethin'!
