Seeing Stephanie suck on her own wounded finger had Mable a little surprised, but not at all in a bad way.  The other girl was so pretty and well dressed, it was odd at first to watch her do something Mable herself had done countless times before.  But it also made her feel good.

All girls were the same in the end then, weren't they!  What a nice thing to have confirmation of.

"Let me come with you!" Mable said immediately.  "If I stay here, the kittens night get scared and not come out even if we have food... it would be better to give them some space."

And of course, Mable was endlessly curious about this girl's house.  She was curious about all of her friends' house, honestly.  They were all so different from one another, but always seemed to fit her friends that lived inside of them perfectly!  She could only imagine what Stephanie's might look like.
