Josh and Carey met a girl named Amy at the Local. She had a ukulele. Carey told Josh that he wanted a ukulele for his birthday and so Josh made it happen, because he's a good friend. Then Josh fell in love with Carey's ukulele the very first day it arrived, and so Josh got one, too.
One day Josh and Carey decided to go play their ukuleles in the park. They randomly ended up near the playground and were astonished and maybe a little creeped out by the kids that gravitated towards them and their new instruments.
Of course, the trip to the park was fun, so they went back. This time they met a girl and a dog. The dog was young and excited and full of dreams and wonder. He pranced around and nibbled on Josh and Carey's hands. "Maybe if we play the ukuleles," Josh said, "he will calm down." They played, and he did. "Awwwww," said Josh and Carey and the girl. After a brief conversation about cute dogs and ukulele music the girl said good-bye and walked away. "What's his name?" Carey called out after the girl with the dog. She said:
"Dimitri."
