John stared out the window longingly. "Hey, you guys wanna go out in the snow some time?"

Simon shrugged. "It's a matter of if we're even allowed out in the first place, and I doubt they would trust us to not just go running off into the woods the first chance we get."

Eddie bounded over, full of energy as usual. "Come on, guys, it's not even Halloween yet! And Halloween's the best holiday ever!"

Billy grinned. "Maybe we should scare Dr. Buck."

John rolled his eyes. "Doubt it'll work. That lady is damn near unflappable unless something bad happens to Agent Green or her horrible childhood is brought up."

Billy's grin grew mischievous. John knew that look. It was his "time to ship!" look, and he didn't like it one bit.

Dr. Collingwood glared at the sloth. "Billy, don't you dare."

"Oh yes I do."

"I swear, if you do, I will..."

"What?"

She gave up trying to tell him and just decided to show him, chasing after him. Billy quickly glitched out of existence, but John could hear his footsteps outside the door, so he'd definitely re-manifested just outside.

"Well, at least we don't have to listen to him come up with ideas on how to scare Dr. Buck or get her together with Agent Green for the next half hour," Simon muttered.
