[Leafy wakes up]

Leafy: GAAAHH! WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DID I FALL ASLEEP!?

[Leafy hears some rustling in the bushes. Her immediate response is to grab some knives. It just so happens that Book was going about the same direction as Leafy since Freesmart Headquarters is actually in Goiky*]

[*This does not refer to the Clubhouse of Awesomeness]

Book: Is that... the Leafy person I've been hearing so much about? Maybe I should say hi!
Leafy: Is that... a living creature? I need to kill it!

[Fwoosh]

Book: GAAHHH! OH MY WORD! WHY ARE YOU THROWING KNIVES AT ME!?
Leafy, still throwing knives: DOES IT MATTER? GO AWAY!!!
Book: YOU'RE... LEAFY? RIGHT?

[Leafy stops throwing knives to focus on the conversation better, but she's still armed just in case]

Leafy: How do you know my name?
Book: You're on page 2763! Look!

[Book opens herself up]

Leafy: Huh? Why am I there?
Book, after shutting herself: I have a dictionary entry for everything known to objectkind! That would include you, of course, being a BFDI competitor and all.
Leafy: Everyone's in there? You have information about EVERYONE?
Book: Yeah, pretty much.
Leafy: CAN YOU FIND ICY IN THERE? :D
Book, lying due to not wanting to remember Freesmart: Oh. Well. I don't actually have an entry for her. Or Bubble. Or Ruby. Or Pencil or Match or
Leafy: Oh.

[Leafy starts throwing knives at Book again]

Book: OW! HEY! WHAT IN THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA WAS THAT FOR?
Leafy: YOU'RE HIDING STUFF FROM ME!
Book: OKAY! GEEZ! FINE. So basically...
Leafy: You don't need to say it. I saw everything back there.
Book: What?

[Book realizes she's talking about the parking lot]

Book: Then why would you care about me hiding stuff if you already knew what happened?
Leafy: BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME ANYWAY! WHY DON'T YOU TRUST ME? WHY DOES NOBODY TRUST ME!?
Book: W-well I-
Leafy: I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW ICY WAS DOING! WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME!?!?

[Book cringes, winces, and grates her teeth as she sucks air in through her teeth. Leafy stops throwing knives and raises an eyebrow]

Book: Icy said... she... doesn't like football.
Leafy: What
Book: Leafy, we all know you're a football. You're very clearly shaped like one.
Leafy: Huh
Book: Look. It even says so in page 2763!

[Book opens herself again]

Leafy: I'm not... I... I'm not a...

[Leafy starts throwing knives yet again]

Book: WHY DO YOU KEEP THROWING KNIVES AT ME???
Leafy: I AM NOT A FOOTBALL! I AM NOOOOOTTTT!!!!!!!!!
