This is just excellent -- Verity's voice is so well done; she really comes alive here (Fred, too). Love your description of the various jokes (spotty solar system!) The poignant ending lines are just right.
One of my favorite lines: "No, I think George is the bottom, actually, but you probably didn't need to know that"
