[For a moment, squeaker and talker both stop dead in their tracks, completely silent. They then engage in a (very loudly) whispered conversation. Squeaker looks unsure; talker looks like all of her dreams have come true at once.]
We're not supposed to talk to strangers, Lily!
But...flying pony ride!
Mom and Dad are gonna be mad!
Flying pony ride, Rose!
What if the bus comes? We need to get on the bus!
But- but-
[Talker - Lily - takes a deep breath and just about yells:]
We wanna ride!
[Rose goes very still, looking between Lily and Luna as though waiting for something to go wrong. It's hard to tell if she's more afraid of what's going on in the crowd, Luna, or the potential parental consequences of a flying pony ride home.]
