Totemo was about to take another step back when Lambda's cold, wet nose poked her in the small of her back. She squeaked and jumped forward, right into Miss Dairy's arms.
"I really wasn't trying to hug you, darling," Miss Dairy whispered. "We're in public! But… If you insist." (2/2) #wss366

<p>A few minutes later, a gold
A few minutes later, a gold SpeedRunner pulled up, driven by an older man with grey hair.
"Need a lift?"
"No, thanks," said the brunette.
After he left, the blond girl said, "Ugh. An old man driving a SpeedRunner like that? He's definitely compensating for something." (2/2) #wss366

The pretty girls were walking through the park when a silver SpeedRunner came by.
A young man with slicked-back hair called out, "Hey, ladies! Need a ride?"
"No, thank you," the blond girl said.
After he shot ahead, the brunette said, "Driving daddy's fancy SpeedRunner? What a loser!" (1/2) #wss366

Feeling morose, he finished with his rounds, then sat down and fired up a smoke. He took a puff, leaned back, and closed his eyes.
Forrest the owl landed nearby and strutted over.
"Hey! Hey!" he said, in a mocking voice. "Do you like honey?"
The bear blew a cloud of smoke in his face. (3/3) #wss366

The bear made his rounds through the picnic grounds carefully checking for fire-safety violations. A little girl wearing a polka-dot dress walked alongside and peppered him with questions.
"Hey! Hey!" she said. "Do you like honey?"
"It's okay, I guess," he replied, noncommittally. (1/3) #wss366

Totemo heard a noise and found that Lambda was sitting behind her watching the screen. Lambda's tongue lolled.
"No! Don't look!" she said, blushing.
Lambda ruffed.
"Really?"
She nudged Totemo with her muzzle.
"Oh, alright," she sighed.
Miss Dairy pumped her fist and said, "Yes!" (3/3) #wss366

Totemo and Sunny stood together in Dress Nouveau and looked at a floor-to-ceiling screen. Miss Dairy had persuaded Totemo, reluctantly, to go clothes shopping after work. She made her walk through the scanner and now she was selecting outfits to dress up her avatar on the screen. (1/3) #wss366

"There," Totemo whispered. "You're off the hook for tonight."
Miss Dairy looked adoringly at Totemo. "Where are we going for our anniversary?" she purred, taking Totemo's arm. (5/5)

"Sunny and I are going out for our anniversary tonight."
"Oh," he said. "Oh. I didn't know."
"I'm sorry, but Mr. Rokunai has asked me to…" Miss Dairy began.
"Nevermind," he said. "Nevermind! I didn't know you had a prior commitment. Tomorrow will be fine." He excused himself and walked away. (4/5)
<p>Miss Dairy, who had started to pack
Miss Dairy, who had started to pack up, looked pale at the prospect of spending hours re-doing the entire report.
Totemo composed her features, put on a big smile, and walked up to Miss Dairy.
"Hi, Sunny, are you ready?"
"Huh?" she said, genuinely confused.
Totemo turned to Mr. Rokunai. (3/5)

Mr. Rokunai pointed at a graph. "I believe that what you've represented as one variable should actually be two. Could you rerun all of the analyses using two factors?"
"I'll do it first thing in the morning, Mr. Rokunai," she said.
He looked pained. "I really need it tonight, Miss Dairy!" (2/5)
