This could've been a fun party, but it's you and your perfect rules that have turned a perfectly good holiday into a perfectly terrible party. [...] [[BrutalHonesty That's right. I said it. This party is terrible!]] I hereby quit your terrible party committee. You can find someone else to take for granted. '''I'm done.'''
25	* StealthPun: The blonde girl with Franklin that brings tapioca pudding to the party is a minor character from the comic strips named....Tapioca Pudding.
26	* YouAreNotAlone: After hearing about Lucy's ordeal, Charlie Brown empathizes with her and rounds up the rest of the kids in the neighborhood to reassure her that she is loved and can turn to her friends with her woes whenever she is feeling down.
