A young boy, Billy, with short brown hair and bright eyes, is standing in a cheerful living room, holding a colorful dress and looking at his father.
Billy: Daddy, can I wear this dress to school?
Billy is wearing a colorful dress. Billy's father, a tall man with a kind face and short blonde hair, is sitting on the couch, looking concerned and thoughtful, glancing at the dress. Daddy is holding a giant oversized chocolate bar. Billy is smiling.
Daddy: I'm not sure, Billy. Some kids might not understand. Would you like some chocolate?
Billy stands in front of a mirror, holding a pair of earrings with a determined expression, trying to imagine how he would look wearing them.
Billy: These earrings are so pretty!
Billy and Daddy are sitting on the couch. Daddy tries to smile reassuringly but looks a bit nervous. Daddy is holding an ice cream cone.
Daddy: Uh... How about some ice cream instead?
Billy: Thanks, Daddy! I love all the sweets you've been giving me.
Three months later, Billy, now noticeably chubbier, is standing in a school hallway. A group of kids are pointing and laughing at him. Billy looks sad and embarrassed.
*3 months later*
Kid 1: Look at Billy, he's so fat now!
Kid 2: Yeah, he can't even fit in those dresses anymore!

The "sickness" story. (Based off a poem)

SASSQUEEN

A young girl with curly brown hair and a pale complexion is lying in bed, looking miserable. The room is decorated with colorful posters and stuffed animals. Sunlight peeks through the curtains.
Mya: Mom, I'm too sick to go to school today. I think I have turkey pox or something.
The girl's mom, a kind-looking woman with short blonde hair and glasses, enters the room holding a breakfast tray. She looks concerned but hopeful.
Mom: Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon. But did you know today is the candy giveaway at school?
The girl's eyes widen in excitement. She sits up in bed, looking suddenly energetic and healthy. The room is now filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation.
Mya: Really?! I think I'm feeling better already!
The young girl is now dressed in her school uniform, looking cheerful and ready. She waves goodbye to her mom at the door, her backpack slung over her shoulder.
Mya: Bye, Mom! Can't be late for the candy giveaway!
Mom: Have fun, sweetheart! And don't forget to no lie to your adults.
The young girl looks depressed at her school with lots of kids walking around and a teacher lecturing a few kids in the background.
Mya: Mom lied to me, there is no candy giveaway! Well, I guess it only fair because I lied to her.
Teacher: ...and that is why we have a bunch of no candy rules!

Engineer 2: Or add a 24/7 on-call support team!
An engineer, the woman with curly hair and glasses, looks curiously at the manager who is sitting at the conference table. The manager has a sheepish expression, hinting at a confession.

Outbreak Chat: A Texas Tale

RFK Jr., with his distinctive graying hair and wearing a formal suit, looks concerned as he leans forward.

Elon Musk looks thoughtful, resting his chin on his hand while RFK Jr. is animated, using hand gestures to emphasize his point. Behind them, a large screen shows a map of Texas with red dots indicating outbreak areas.

Mime Woman: ...
Tintin: Thank you, kind mime! You deserve recognition.

A vast, green plain stretches across the horizon under a bright blue sky. Hallie, a warrior princess with long, flowing auburn hair and a suit of shining armor, stands confidently with her sword raised. Beside her is Carini, a massive husky dog with thick white and grey fur and striking blue eyes, who looks ready for adventure.
Hallie: Carini, today we find the treasure of Temescal!
Hallie rides on the back of Carini, galloping through the tall grasses of the Temescal plains. The wind rushes past them, and the distant mountains loom large in the background. Hallie's cloak flutters dramatically behind her.
Hallie: Faster, Carini! We're getting closer!
The plains give way to a dense forest with sunlight filtering through the leaves. Hallie and Carini pause to catch their breath, looking around cautiously. The sound of birds and rustling leaves creates an atmosphere of suspense.
Carini: I smell something... could it be the treasure?

Carini: I smell a good time.
