Corey the vole was very, very far from home, and he was starving. His berries had only lasted him a day or so, and he had been picking at everything he could find. There was a surprising lack of tubulars to feast on in the habitat of large hairless voles, so Corey had no clue what they possibly ate.

One day, as he was lost in tall, dry grass, he ran into the second large vole that paid him any mind.

Skipping around was a woman of nondescript nature because she had never shared an image of herself other than of her feet, so the author has little to go by. Suddenly, the woman made eye contact with Corey, stopping in her tracks as she let out a gasp.

"A vole! A real vole!" She exclaimed. "This is so fang! Are you hungry, little guy?"

Corey was very hungry. He tried to reflect that in his lifeless vole stare.

The woman pulled something from her pocket to help her gather berries—an empty can of Ghost Energy. As she began her hunt for berries, she talked into her black rectangle.

"Uncle Bun, it's Pebble. Pebble Louise. I _told_ you you should come on the vole hunt! You need to get here _now_. Right now. I'm serious." She paused. "No, Uncle Bun, this isn't a prank. There's a real vole here! If you come, you'll get to brag about seeing an actual vole, and everyone will love it and respect your authority!" Pebble Louise spoke very passionately. "Also, can you send me $30 for later? I want to go to Subway."

Corey patiently waited as Pebble Louise gathered at least six berries (he could not count, as he is a vole). Then, she came back to him and kneeled before him, placing the berries down on the ground in front of him.

"You get to meet my uncle, Bun," she said as Corey began munching. "You're gonna love him."
