Kelly (takes "Do Not Disturb" sign off door, to Spike): Well, at least the windshield repair went according to plan.
Spike: What about school?
Kelly (sighs): Well, the online orientation video doesn't work and I decided that it was a waste to go to the hospital today. I'll just go early tomorrow.
Spike: So, what now? *sniffs* Somethin' good's goin' on 'round here.
Kelly (sniffs): Yeah, it does smell good. But we already ate, remember?
Cotterpin (yelling from inside the room): THAT'S IT! I QUIT! YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME!
Kelly (looks into room): What are you talking about?
Cotterpin: First of all -- my scooter is still being in the shop. Do you know how exhausted my legs are? Second of all -- I don't like you telling stories about me!
Kelly (glances at Spike, who shrugs): I just didn't think there was a Doozer story around. I wanted to see if I could write one. Won't take that long. It's more of a play than a story.
Cotterpin: Yeah, I know ... but you said we were HUMANS!
Kelly: No, what I said was I was writing it so humans could play it. There is a distinct difference. *smiles* Besides, you're the star -- what are you griping about?
Cotterpin: What if they hire someone UGLY?
Spike (chuckles): How would you tell? *snicker* All humans look alike, anyway.
Kelly (to Spike): Shut up. *to Cotterpin* I'll go see what the status of your scooter is, okay?
Cotterpin: I haven't decided yet...
Kelly (to Spike): Keep an eye on her, will ya? I'll be right back. *long pause* And DON'T --.
Spike (waving her away): Don't eat da kid. Gotcha.
*Kelly heads up to Room 15 and leaves note*
Dear Digit and Waldo:
Hey, how's it going? My friend Cotterpin, patient little bug she is, calmly wondered if her scooter was ready yet. Keep up the good work. See ya later.
Kelly
*Kelly heads back to room 2*
