"I can help..."

She'd say a bit louder, bracing herself.

"Of course you can help."

Fred nods.

"Only if you want to."

She hesitated before slowly nodding.

"I want to help you."

Fred smiles.

"I'll do my best to be a good friend, Fiona."

This was clearly a really important moment for Fiona.

Fred slowly reaches to hug Fiona.

Fi let's Fred hug her for now without recoiling. But she remains as still as a statue.

Fred hugs her fill, then lets go after feeling that she wasn't going to be hugged in return.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself."

Before Fred let's go Fiona would slowly wrap her arms around her in return, clinging to the younger girl tightly.

In that case, Fred resumes hugging with a smile.

Hugging a human friend is something she's always wanted.

Fiona shows no signs of letting go.

Hugs hugs hugs.

Fred eventually lets go.

"Well then. Before you arrived, I was attempting to try something with these books. I haven't read any of them yet, and was curious if I could get them to tell me their contents. I wouldn't want to bore you with my experiment, unless you'd like to help me?"

"What can I do to help?"

She'd ask, reluctantly letting go.

"Well, instead of me checking its contents by myself, you can randomly select pages for me, then later confirm if what the book is saying is true after I relay the information. Like me guessing what's on the page you're on, with the help of the book. Or, before we open it, I guess what's in it, then you check. How does that sound to you?"

Fred sighs, then selects a picture book.

"Hello, 'Where the Wild Things Are'. You're very well known, but I never got to read you while growing up. What are you about?"

She puts her hand on the book and closes her eyes. Visions and sensations filling her senses about the people who have read the book. Including a young student who carried it in his backpack for well over a year.

[WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE]: "Me? Or Max?"

"Max?"

[WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE]: "Yeah, the King of the Wild Things, until he decided to go home. They weren't so happy when he did. If you're asking about me, I'm a bestseller. Kids love my story. I heard a president read my story a long time ago too. One person from this library carried me around for over a year. Might as well've kept me instead of returning me!"

"Oh! Fiona, would you like to hear about Max or what the book has gone through?"

"Max... The book spent a long time inside of a bag. It didn't see a lot."

"Oh! Well, the book says its story is about Max, the King of the Wind Things."

[WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE]: "He wasn't always like that. He was like any ol' kid before he met them."

"Ah, yes. He became King at least, and when he left to go home, the Wild Things weren't happy."

[WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE]: "The story is so much better when you read it, trust me."

Fred scooches over beside Fiona.

"Time to see if the story checks out."

They read Where The Wild Things Are together! The story is definitely better than Fred's description.

"Yup, just like the book said. Looks like I can ask books what their contents contain, though I've done it when I was younger with picture books. Of course, I did it when I didn't want to read the story itself and wanted someone to tell it for me. It's hard to tell if the books only know what's been read."

"That makes sense."

She picks out a thicker book she never had the chance to read.

"Hello Frankenstein. I'm going to be reading you later, if it's true that you're mandatory high school literature. What are you about?"
