0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Enough about that, let's get too Today's super Live Ay

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Lewis story. Has anyone seen Lily, asked Ivy as she

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>ran outside for Reesius one day at school. She asked

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:45.919
<v Speaker 1>all her friends when she got outside, but no one

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>seemed to know. Bothing's usually the first one out here,

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>thought Ivy to herself. She's always the one suggesting the

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>game to play or coming up with some fun adventure

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>we can go on before heading back into class. I

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>thought it was a little strange, but maybe Lily wasired

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>or not feeling well. So after a moment or two,

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Ivy ran off to play with some friends. When she

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.919
<v Speaker 1>got back inside, she saw Lily at her desk. Lily,

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>where were you at recess? Said Ivy. I missed you

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>and I wanted to play. I just wanted to be alone,

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>so Miss Murray, let me stay inside and draw, Lily

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>replied in a quiet voice. Ivy noticed that her friend

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 1>didn't look up at her when she answered, but instead

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 1>kept drawing. Okay, said Ivy, feeling like there was more

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to this story. But also Ivy felt that way sometimes

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>there were days that she wanted to be by herself

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and just take a break from everyone around her and rest.

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>So once again, she didn't think too much of it

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and sat down at her desk, ready for the afternoon math. Lesson,

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>everyone get into groups, said Miss Murray. We're gonna play

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>math trivia game, going over everything we learned in our

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>last session. Oh fun, cheered Ivy. Lily want to be

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>on my team? Lily didn't say anything. It was as

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>if she didn't hear Ivy at all. Ivy repeated herself

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>while reaching out and putting her hand on Lily's shoulder.

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Lily moved away. Lily, do you want to be on

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 1>my team for the math game? Asked Ivy again. Sure,

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess, so, said Lily quietly. Ivy knew there was

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>something wrong. Lily loved games, especially trivia games, and she

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>was the best math student in the whole class. So

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>if a math trivia game didn't make her smile, Ivy

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what would. Ivy knew her friend needed her support,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>but helping her out in the middle of math class

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't the right place. Ivy helped Lily along with the

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>math trivia game as much as she could, knowing that

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>after school would be a better time to find out

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>what was really going on. The school day ended and

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Lily got up quickly, put all her things in her backpack,

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and was headed for the door. This was very unlike Lily,

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>just like everything else that day. Usually, at the end

0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>of the day, Lily would run over to Ivy with

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a big smile and some funny story that she would

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>tell her as they walked home. So when Ivy saw

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Lily walking out the door without even saying goodbye, she

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>knew it was time to take action and let her

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>friend know she was there for her.

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Lily wait up.

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Called out Ivy as she grabbed her things and ran

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>into the hallway to meet up with her friend, but

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>once again Lily seemed to not pay attention to Ivy. Lily,

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>where's my funny story for the walk home? Said Ivy,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>hoping her friend would stop and they could talk like

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>they always did. Lily did stop, but she didn't look

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>like she wanted to talk at all. Lily, is everything okay?

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Asked Ivy. You never act like this. You're always so happy,

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>energetic and fun, and today you seem different, like you're

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>really sad. Did I do something wrong? Oh? Great, now

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I've made you feel bad, said Lily with a sigh.

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Just one more thing for me to be upset about. No, no, no,

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that's not it at all. You didn't make me feel bad.

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I was just asking because you don't seem like your happy,

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>silly self, said Ivy. And I was wondering if there's

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>something I could do to help. Well, maybe I just

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be happy right now, said Lily, turning

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and looking Ivy ride in the eyes. Maybe I just

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>want to be left alone. Ivy didn't know how to

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>react to her friend. She had never had a conversation

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>like this with Lily before. Her first thought was to

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>walk away and leave Lily alone like she wanted but

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 1>she could tell from the way Lily was acting that

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>she needed a friend now more than ever. Lily, I

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>am sorry, and yes, of course I can leave you

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>alone if that's what you really want, asked Ivy. Is

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>that what you really want? That's when Ivy saw the

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>tears welling up in Lily's eyes. No, yes, I don't know,

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 1>said Lily as she wiped a tear from her eye.

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>You know you can tell me anything, Lily. I'm always

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>here for you, and I want to help, said Ivy,

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>putting a hand on her friend's shoulder. This time, Lily

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't move away, but instead gave Ivy a hug. The

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>two friends walked outside to the playground and sat down

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>on the buddy bench by the swings. Whenever you're ready

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to talk, I'm ready to listen, Ivy told her friend

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>as they sat on the bench for a few minutes

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>in silence. Then, once Lily was ready to talk, she

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>let Ivy know that she had been feeling a little

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>sad lately. She felt like she didn't know where she

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>fit in with her friends lately, and she was nervous

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot, feeling like she was always disappointing someone. I'm

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>nervous that I'm not doing or saying the right things.

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Lily said, I'm nervous that I'll go make someone mad,

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>or I'll do bad on my next quiz or lose

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.479
<v Speaker 1>my big basketball game. Everyone always expects me to be

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 1>there for them with a funny story or a big

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>smile or the right answer. But sometimes I just don't

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like it. That makes me sad, because I feel

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 1>like I'm disappointing everyone when I feel like this. Ivy

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>was so surprised by what she heard Lily say. She

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>really felt bad thinking that she in any way made

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 1>Lily feel uncomfortable or upset. Yes, of course, I'd be

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>loved having a friend though was happy, full of energy,

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>and fun to be around. And yes, maybe sometimes she

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>focused a little too much on their friendship. Ivey realized

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>now that she expected Lily to always be that happy,

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>silly friend instead of taking the time to ask how

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 1>she was feeling or what she wanted. Lily. I am

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>so sorry, Ivy said. I never want you to feel

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>like this, but it's okay if you do. Just know

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>that I'll be here to help. You're such a great

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.400
<v Speaker 1>friend to me that I want to be all that

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I can to be a great friend to you. Lily

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>smiled for the first time that day, really feeling like

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>she was being hurt, and understood.

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Everyone feels like you're feeling.

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes, Ivy went on, including me. Yes, I'm usually happy

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and positive like you, but sometimes I get down and

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be left alone. When I'm feeling

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that way, I talk to my parents or even Levi.

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>It really helps. It's not good for you to keep

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>all your emotions bottled up. It feels so much better

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to talk them out. Well, this is the first time

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I've ever felt like this, so I didn't really know

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>what to do, said Lily. But that is really good advice.

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to my parents when I get home. Lily

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy talked a bit more on the playground, and

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>then they started their walk home. Ivy was happy that

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>she had talked with Lily and was hoping she'd feel

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>better the next day. However, she wasn't going to rush

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>the situation and knew that Lily had to work through

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>her feelings at her own pace. So the next day

0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in school, Ivy walked up to Lily and asked something

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 1>she should have been asking the last few days. Hi Lily,

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>how are you feeling today? Lily gave her friend a

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>little smile, which was more than she had done yesterday.

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling a little better, said Lily. It was good

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to talk with my parents. I think it really helped.

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>But now I just have to get comfortable with not

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>always caring what others think and feeling like I'll be

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>disappointing someone if I'm not acting the way they expect

0:07:56.080 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>me to act. That's a really good strategy, Lily, said Ivy.

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It's most important for you to be happy with you,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 1>so if it feels right to you, then it's the

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>right thing to do. Ivy got another smile out of

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Lily and that made her feel great. Remember I'm here

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>for you if you want to talk today, said Ivy.

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>And if at recess you want to stay in and draw,

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I can stay in two of course, only if that's

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>what you'd like. I would like that, said Lily with

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>another smile. Class started for the day and Ivy gave

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>herself a little challenge. She would try to make Lily

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>smile as much as possible that day, taking over for Lily,

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>who was usually the one making other smile. By doing this,

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Ivy was being supportive and reminding her friend throughout the

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 1>day that she was there if she needed her. As

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>they sat in class, Ivy thought of silly jokes to

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>tell Lily when they had free time. She complimented her

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>new shoes and told her how much the greenhead band

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>she was wearing made her eyes look like the sparkling emeralds.

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Ivy reminded her friend of the sleepover they had planned

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>for the weekend and all the fun things they would

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>do together. The more Ivy supported her friend, making her

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>smile and letting her know her feelings were important, the

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>more Ivy could see Lily building herself back up. She

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>was becoming strong again, ready to deal with her feelings,

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>knowing that she didn't have to face them alone. Once

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>lunch was over, it was time for recess. Now you're

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>sure you don't want to stay in and draw today,

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Ivy asked Lily. We can do whatever you'd like to do. Nope,

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to go outside and play, said Lily. Then

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>as soon as they got outside, a group of Lily

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and Ivy's friends joined them, asking right away what fun

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>game Lily had planned for them. Hi, Lily, long time, No,

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>see we were all so sad when you weren't outside yesterday,

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>said one friend. Yeah, you're always so great at picking games,

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>said another. We didn't know what to do. What super

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>amazing fun game are we playing today, Lily asked someone else.

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I bet it will be the best game ever. Ivy

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 1>turned and looked at Lily and could immediately see that

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>she was not comfortable with the situation. Too many questions,

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.079
<v Speaker 1>too much pressure, and not enough space. No one even

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>asked if Lily wanted to play a game. They just

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>assumed she did. Maybe Lily just wanted to go on

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the swings, but now she felt it was up to

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>her to make sure every one of her friends had

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:15.400
<v Speaker 1>a super fun recess. It was just too much. All

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of Lily and Ivy's friends kept getting closer and closer,

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 1>asking over and over again what game Lily thought they

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>should play. Seeing Lily's reaction, Ivy stepped in, knowing just

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>what to do. Sorry, everybody, Lily and I were just

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>going on the swings today, said Ivy. If anyone wants

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to join us, that'd be great. We could have a

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>contest and see who can swing the highest. Does that

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>sound good to you, Lily? Ivy smiled, at Lily, looking

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>her right in the eyes as if to say, you're

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>not alone, I'm here with you. Yes, I would really

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>like that a lot, Lily replied with a big smile.

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Gracie there and off she ran towards the swings, with

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>her friends following behind her, except for Ivy, who was

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>running right alongside Lily. That recess, everyone had a great time.

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Lily wasn't the only one in charge of it all. Instead,

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>she simply got to enjoy the activity with everyone else.

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for stepping in at recess, said

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Lily when she and Ivy got back inside. I was

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>starting to feel a little overwhelmed again when everyone was

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>asking me questions. Then just when it felt like too much,

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you were there. I am really lucky to have a

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>friend like you. I'm always going to be here for you,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:27.199
<v Speaker 1>said Ivy reassuringly. At recess, in school, at basketball practice

0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>on the weekend, whenever you need me. How about if

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I needed you at midnight, Lily giggled, I'll be there,

0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>laughed Ivy. How about in the middle of a snowstorm,

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>but instead of snow, there, marshmallow's falling from the sky.

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Asked Lily.

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>That would be amazing, and yes, I'd be there for you,

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.199
<v Speaker 1>no problem at all, said Ivy in between giggles. How

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>about if I was on top of a really tall

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 1>mountain and a mountain go took my favorite candy bar,

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>asked Lily, laughing harder than before. As long as I

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>got half of that candy bar, I would totally be

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>there right by your side, Ivy, putting her arm around

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.680
<v Speaker 1>her friend's shoulders. From that day on, Lily and Ivy

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>were always there for each other, through the smiles, the

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>quiet times, and everything in between. Thanks for joining us today.
