The kids, aged six to thirteen, sit down to watch the short, and they all have a wide variety of responses, from confusion, joy, frustration, and laughter.

"I'm trying not to cry," said 9-year-old Lucas as he watched the boys' love story. 

After the viewing, most of the kids agreed that it was important to share those kinds of stories, one that most of them had never seen on television before. "It goes to show that the heart always gets what it wants." Preach, Sydney!
