Kelly (listens to Spike's tunes)
Spike (returning from his trip): So, what's up?
Kelly: The ceiling?
Spike (unamused): Very cute. How's school?
Kelly: Was in the ICU. Poor little kid had some trouble, but it was all good. I fixed it. Teacher probably won't praise me for it. I don't think she CAN be positive.
Spike: Uh-huh. Because dat's what da world needs ... more rugrats. Where's Little Bit?
Kelly: She got mad at me because I couldn't stay up long enough to welcome some new neighbors. Um ... Sara ... um ... Sadie ... and um ... Skeeter. *shrugs* Anyway, she went back to Doozer Dome. Haven't seen her since.
Spike (confused): Dat chick who went t'rough dat maze is here? "Boo hoo! My bruddah's kidnapped, even though I BEGGED for it! Whine, moan, complain!" Pssht. Girl prob'ly felt sorry only 'cause she knew her parents'd kill her for losin' da brat.
Kelly (shakes head, giggles): No, not THAT Sarah. This one doesn't have an "H" at the end of her name.
Spike: You seem ... *frowns* like your t'roat is bruised. What happened?
Kelly (frowns): I was attacked. That's the last time though, Spike. I asked Jareth about helping. He gave me something called an "erongi" spell. *smiles* I'm a lot happier now. I think you and Cotterpin will be, too. It's the only way I can stay here. "Out of sight, out of mind," as they say. Still, it was funnier on the Beetlejuice cartoon. Oh, and apparently TG's birthday is coming up. *shudders* Not sure if I'll go. We should still get her something though.
Spike: TG?
Kelly: Yeah. She lives with Digit an' them.
Spike: Ah.
Kelly (clears throat): Oh, and we may have company in early May.
Spike: Dare I ask?
Kelly: Yeah. Weeeeeeeee ... maaaaaaay ... needtoletCait'sroomiesstayoverduringhervacation.
Spike (sighs): Will dey fit?
Kelly (smirks): I don't see why not. You're not THAT big. *pouts* They won't cause any trouble! I promise!
Spike (sighs): Anyt'ing else?
Kelly (smiles): Yeah. That newsguy's flipped a switch or something. I don't get what happened, but he's like, um, coherent and verbose. He said something about having a major story in the works. That's cool, don't you think? He could use the career boost.
Spike: ...
