It took a few minutes for an excited Larry to calm down. Milo finally diverted his attention by asking him about his house, and Larry sat him down on a pillow and gave his head one last pat. Larry sat on his bed, happy to show off his house."This is Larry's special house. No one else lives alone except for Larry. That makes this house special! Larry has three pillows, his comfy bed, and his picture of Justin. Larry has some pet bugs and his lucky rock here too! It's a long crawl to get out of Larry's house, but Larry likes it that way.

Milo agreed with him. "I like Larry's House. I had a house like this when I was growing up. I had to go down a long tunnel that no one else could fit through, with a cozy spot at the end. Now I have a bigger house, but I still crawl through tunnels to get there. No one else goes there, just me. It's safe and cozy and I like it that way."Larry looked at him oddly, slowly thinking. "Did people make you live alone like they did Larry? Larry used to have more friends, but now it's only Larry. Sometimes Justin. Sometimes Tallsqueak." Larry suddenly got very excited and jumped up and down until he fell over. "Larry has two friends! Larry has two friends."Seeing Larry fall over reminded Milo of the slippers he had found. As soon as he pulled out the pink weasel slippers, Larry got even more excited. "For Larry? Present for Larry?" He could barely sit still as Milo tried to stretch them over his feet. Somehow, they fit with room to spare and Larry jumped and began dancing around the little cave. "Special Hamster Hop slippers!" Larry managed to do the Happy Hamster Hop without falling over until the very end. That gave Milo another idea. He really didn't want to have to spend an hour a day dancing around. But Larry might. "I have another special thing, Larry. But to make the magic work, you have to Hamster Hop each day for a full bell.""Larry can do that. Larry did the Happy Hamster Hop yesterday for three bells!" Milo took out the Fae Ring of Dancing and put it on Larry's finger, watching it expand to fit.

Larry's eyes got huge. "Blue Box? Larry got a Blue Box! See! See!"
