*January 24th*

[January is seen in his room, looking at the ceiling from his bed. A knock on the window is heard, and January looks to see February at his window.]

February: Open up!

[She continues knocking on the window until January stands and walks over to it, opening the window.]

January: It's too early for this, what do you want?

February: It's National Compliment Day!

January: National what?

February: National Compliment Day! You have to compliment people!

January: I'll pass.

[January closes the window, and February bangs on the window desperately,]

February: Why don't you like National Compliment Day? It's such a fun holiday! You get to express your love for others!

January: I don't have love for others.

[January closes his curtains and leaves his room, going into the hallway and into the kitchen. He is greeted by the human who is living with him.]

Claire: Hey, Jan!

January: Hey. You already make breakfast?

Claire: I had some toast.

[There's a knock on the door.]

January: Oh, I-

Claire: Don't worry, I'll get it.

[Before January can intercept, Claire opens the door to February.]

February: Hi Claire! I like your eyes!

Claire: Huh?

February: It's National Compliment Day!

Claire: Oh! Then, I like your... eyes too!

February: Aw, thank you! Is January in there?

Claire: Yeah, he's right over there.

[January facepalms as February walks over to him.]

February: Hi, January!

[February expectantly looks at him.]

January: What?

February: Compliment me!

January: Why would I do that?

February: It. Is-

January: Yeah, yeah, National Compliment Day. Now, go away.

[February sits on a couch, pouting.]

Claire: So... what are you guys going to do today?

February: I'm going to go on a complimenting spree.

Claire: Oh... how nice. Jan, what are you going to do?

January: I have some issues of which I have to take care as the current month, so I'll be away.

February: That sounds exciting! Can I come?

January: No.

Claire: Well, I'm going to go shopping for groceries. Lock the door when you leave, Jan.

January: Mhm.

[Claire leaves, and eventually January and February leave.]


[January enters the diner, and February stays behind him, hiding behind random objects on the street. She watches him through the window, as March stands beside February.]
