Part 28...
Eduardo: "Don't worry D, I think you'll like it..."
Ed was talking to Diana, who hitched a ride in the batty vehicle. She was moving out of Marvin's Music City and taking up residence in a new establishment along Hensonville's avenues. When they reached the train station, a few friends were already waiting with suitcases in hand. The Count had a time counting them all as they took their seats near the back area of his monster mobile. Martin, Gerard, Kate, and Erin squooshed into the rear seats while Nicole sat up front with Diana and Eduardo.
Count: Vait a second... Isn't there someone missing?"
Ed: "No, don't worry, we'll meet her later."
As the Count zoomed down the roads of the city, a soft hum was heard from the nearby river. Emmett Otter had met and provided transportation for a newcomer, taking in the scenic route down the waterways instead.
Uncle Deadly: "Tell me Eleanor, did you like it?"
Auntie Eleanor, responding as the dragon duo reached the door to their dark alcove behind the theater's main offices: "Yes, it was bootiful."
They entered the spooky stateroom, resting on their ratty old bed.
Uncle Deadly, smelling the air inside: "Something's not fright... Think there's someone..."
Auntie Eleanor remained quiet, directing Deadly's gaze to the woman seated in the armchair across from their cot.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Devinshire" she greeted coolly and naturally.
Uncle Deadly: "Ah... You must be..."
Auntie Eleanor: "Hush Dedy... You'll give her away."
"Thank you Auntie Eleanor" the woman responded. "You've had quite a show here tonight."
Deadly and Eleanor: "You... witnessed the show?"
"Yes, a very nice show they performed tonight. They've all gone to Jim's for the after-hours party?"
Uncle Beadly : "Yes, their souls have departed this grand stage."
"Well... Though you may both be bound by the rules that govern the dead... There might be a way you can join them."
Deadly and Eleanor, mildly surprised: "There is?"
"Yes, though you should know anything's possible by now. Anyway... The rules state that you may not leave the theater. But what if you were to leave it and not leave it at the same time?"
Deadly, in a low moan: "Ah... She speaks in riddles now."
Auntie Eleanor: "Let her explain Dedy."
"As you're well aware, those small creatures... Fraggles I think they're called... They got here by means of a tunnel and a Fraggle hole located in the theater's backstage."
Uncle Deadly: "Yes... And now even more foolish creatures shall roam through these halls."
"Well... Doesn't it stand to reason that if you use a tunnel you could move throughout the city, appear at other localities in this splendid town, and still remain connected to the theater?"
Auntie Eleanor: "Yes... That way we would still remain close to the magic of the theater... Its magic, or rather the home which claims our souls."
"Exactly... And if you hurry, I might even grant you a special boon to be with your family for one night at the boarding house."
Uncle Deadly and Auntie Eleanor, both bowing before the woman in white: "Thank you our grace... We shall make good use of this boon you've bestowed upon our doomed souls."
With that, the two dragons rushed downstairs to the boiler room, trying to find the tunnel Gonzo made that one time attempting to escape their porcine imprisoners.
"They do make me laugh so..." remarked the woman in white before dematerializing into the nothingness of space.
