(3rd Person POV)

Synopsis: Limon meets a certain fox with the same adoration for a TV show as she does.

                   Limon sighed to herself as she placed the last arts and crafts piece on the plastic shelf facing the window display of Crafty Corner. The owl was currently decorating the display with a few handmade figurines from one of her favorite shows "Dancing Dreamers" whilst she hummed to herself.

It was now the month of November, and it'd been quite some time since they'd cleared out everything Halloween-related in Crafty Corner to make room for the soon-to-be Christmas crafts in early December. 

When she and IceT had last taken a walk during Halloween night, Limon had asked her if she was alright, for the mouse had seemed somewhat flustered over something, but IceT wouldn't admit what. Limon eventually gave up asking, knowing that it probably wasn't important anyway and that IceT would hopefully talk about when (or if) she was ready.

She had created the figurines herself by taking small, wooden mannequins and designing them with a bit of yarn, paint, fabric, and attention to detail to create the main characters of the show and their signature outfits. Limon felt that although Dancing Dreamers was, in her opinion, an underrated show, she hoped that at least a few customers would be interested in her craftmanship.  

As the day went on, Limon found that not many animals had paid attention to her display. IceT (from the counter) told her feathered friend not to worry about the lack of attention. "I'm sure someone's going to notice it eventually. After all, I may not watch Dancing Dreamers with you, but even I know your models look pretty accurate to the original!"

By the time Crafty Corner's closing hours were a few minutes away, Limon had given up all hope as she bid goodbye to the remaining workers walking out the glass doors. Only a few more people to go, and I can lock up here and go home with IceT, the owl thought to herself as she gave a glance at the window display she was so eager to decorate before. 

When she did so, Limon took notice of a mint-green fox facing parallel to Crafty Corner, staring in awe at the very same display! So, when said fox looked both ways on the street and quickly made her way to the shop, Limon was more than happy to let her in despite them closing in a few minutes. 

"Hi there!" The fox said after she'd caught her breath, "I know you're just about to close, but I just wanted to see up close this display you have here. Are they actually handmade models of the cast of Dancing Dreamers?"

Limon nodded in response, smiling as she did so. 

"That's amazing! Do you know who created these?"

"...I made these. My name's Limon, one of the co-managers of this store. What's your name?"

"My name's Slushi," The fox replied as she gestured to the window display she came here for. "And this might be one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I don't think I have seen another Dancing Dreamers fan in a really long time. How much does each model cost?"

In the short time that Slushi bought 3 models of the Dancing Dreamers cast and left Crafty Corner, she and Limon had quickly shared their numbers, promising to hang out together when they both were free. 

As Slushi then walked out of the store, IceT took the moment to ask Limon about her new companion.

"Oh, her? We just share the same interest, is all."
