"I like me better when I'm with you"

Carrots crinkled her nose and smiled as she rubbed her neck, somewhat bashfully.
She looked at the people surrounding her and then to person standing at her right, nothing but love and admiration in her heart. Thomas smiled reassuringly at her and nudged the short girl forward, she stumbled slightly and then righted herself quickly.

Carrots began to speak in a quiet but steady voice, unfortunately her voice was lost in the murmurs of the crowd around her. Her eyes hardened and she cleared her throat as loudly as she could, those closest to her turned around and gave her their undivided attention.
Jacob, one of the people closest to her, crinkled his eyebrows together and he whistled loudly to grab the attention of everyone else.

"I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause"

Carrots smiled gratefully "So now I have your attention" she began as she looked around "I just want to thank you all... just for being you"
Jupiter Jones grinned "A-Are you talking to us?" he asked
Andrea tipped her head to the side as her lips tilted upwards slightly "I think it would be wise to clarify what you meant" she said as she fixed the positioning of her glasses on her nose.

"I like me better when"

Carrots laughed softly "Of course... well I'm thanking you and other beautiful people" she said vaguely. She turned back to Thomas and she smiled, her eyes becoming somewhat teary. She pushed her hands under her glasses and swiped twice at her eyes to prevent the tears from falling any further. "This will be a throwback for a lot of you" she mumbled as her smile drooped slightly.

"I like me better when I'm with you"
