Grover comes out of his roomHello everybody.

*Roomies return from going into town, buying presents for their respective giftees.

 

[The Count]

*Consults notes for what'll be some of the surprises for the holiday party.

 

[The Count]

*Hears reindeer landing on the roof. *Checks. Oh, it's only Lightning. *Sends him back to Santa with some candy canes and caramel-dipped apple slices in a little Mupperware container.
UD: Better be careful throwing those terms about, you're liable to become like the Gunthers in that alternate world Dimentio sent Misty.
Yeah well... At least we still live in Hensonville, so that's a good sign.

*Thinking about the changes after the New Year.

Prairie: Does this mean you had a good day at bowling,Kath?
Yep.Didn't hit over 100 like last week.But I consider 85 a good score.

Prairie:Yeah...that's great!
Grover comes inHello Kathy!How was bowling?
Fantastic,Grover! I got a pretty high score today. 85.
Grover:Oh WONDERFUL!

Now that's good to hear!Now...if you all don't mind,I think I'll go lay down for a bit.First I'll get myself cool to drink.I got hot from bowling.See you all later! pouring fruit punch for myself & then going to lie down.

Kelly (sneaks into the Dorms with Pearl, whispers): See, the whole point of us moving out was to go find someplace else to live in Hensonville.

Pearl (whispers, carries a bunch of jam-filled doughnuts, also called pontshkes): Hey, I asked Ed if we could slip past the front door for a bit. I nevah got a chance ta celebrate the holidays with mah family, an' since y'all got a bunch o' stuff ta celebrate 'round this time o' year, I reckon it's worth makin' some brief cameos.

Kelly (sighs, nods): Ok, well, thanks for cooking all the goodies. I just hope Zoot'll dig 'em.

Pearl: I even made some slime mold ones fer ol' Buzzard to enjoy as well.

Kelly (shudders): Ick.

Pearl (quietly pries the door open of Ailie's room and leaves the desserts with a card): There, now what?

Kelly: Well, it's kinda quiet. Let's tiptoe out before anyone notices we're here.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (watches the food-related activity with Pearl while eating a hamburger): Wow.

Pearl (chuckles): I remember hearin' 'bout Earl's youngest gettin' all hyped up on sugar. Lil' angel grew a horn an' turned into a king.

Kelly: Really? How long did that last?

Pearl (winks): 'Bout twenty minutes. Dinosaur politics is a right fickle thing.
