So... what do you think of that Alfred Temple kid?

Well, I don't think much of him one way or the other - Tom seems to despise him, though I don't know why - maybe you'd get a more interesting answer from him.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

It's getting cold now - the fireside is where most nights are spent.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Why - Tom, you still have that?

I still like it, you know.

Becky—Becky! Do you remember this? That day in the schoolhouse, I drawed it for you.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

What do you do when Tom goes off on all his adventures?

Well...

I just try to keep my mind off of him. Otherwise I'll worry, or wish I was with him, and there ain't any point in that.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Have you ever gone back into McDougal's Cave after all that went down in there?

Oh, I should say not - not me. But Tom's gone back since then, I'd wager.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Oh Tom, I know it - I reckon I'm sorry too - I didn't need to hit you.

I didn't hurt you too bad, now did I?

There you are, Tom!

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Did you forget all you said to me yesterday? You may have been under a curse, but that don't change what you said, or how it felt to hear you say it.

I just wanted to get my dues, that's all.

There you are, Tom!

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Yes, that's right.

Now we can put it all behind us.

There you are, Tom!

[ask-becky-thatcher]

There you are, Tom!

[ask-becky-thatcher]

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I'm wondering what are you thankful for?

Right now, I'm most thankful to be a girl again - the moment I see Tom I'm going to give him a kiss he'll not soon forget!

[ask-becky-thatcher]

I reckon it was just a happenstance - that witch found you and grew fond of you, and now she won't let well enough alone.

And—Which one of you am I really in love with?

[ask-becky-thatcher]

You guys should probably walk Tom home, else he'll get lost

Yes, I s'pose you're right.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Jim's your friend, you and Huck have had lots of adventures with him, I'm sure. Sidney is your little brother, and Mary's your cousin, and you all live with your Aunt Polly. Me and Huck - we're your friends.

I reckon I should…

J’st one question—where do I live?

[ask-becky-thatcher]

St. Petersburg, Tom. A little town on the Mississippi river.

Well um…

A lot’a times I’m too dim t’ remember things. ‘m sorry for…

…Everythin’.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Why don't you go on to bed, Tom. It's late enough anyway.

...But, is there anything you think we could do to help? Our ideas haven't done you any good.

Well um…

A lot’a times I’m too dim t’ remember things. ‘m sorry for…

…Everythin’.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

Yes, let's hope we all wake up tomorrow and this is over for good.

Well um…

A lot’a times I’m too dim t’ remember things. ‘m sorry for…

…Everythin’.

[ask-becky-thatcher]

ask-huck-finn:

Uh, well, actually, um…

Oh - Tom, the truth of it is, we're both under a curse right now! It shoulda been done already, but then Huck was cursed again, and here I am, I don't know why - and I think you've been cursed, too - with your lost memories. Tom, usually, Huck's a boy, and I'm a girl. There's this witch around, and she likes to play around with us - she does stuff like this all the time.

T - Tom - !

What makes Huck’s words more believable than mine? You hain’t even heard my name! It’s Becky! Becky Thatcher! Huck’s trying to be sneaky about this - an’ I don’t know why - but it ain’t fair, an’ I don’t like it, and this is all - this is all wrong!
