"The Moppet Family - Same Family, New Thread..."

[Beauregard]

Father: I'd say...*tips head, thinking* I'd say this train is rushing fast, real fast, towards that tunnel...but that's nothing compared to how fast I fell head over heals for you the moment I first saw you, or how fast my heart is beating right now as I look at you. The train is rocking, but I hope...our future is never unsteady to you because...to me, our future has never changed, not once. *reaches hand behind back and takes hold of the dagger that he knew was there all along* Well? *turns to look at Mother* How was that? *the train rushes into the dark of the tunnel*

--

*the train rushes back out of the tunnel at the far side*

Mrs Moppet Senior: *eyes wide* *spits cork* Moppet, Nicky...this is foolishness! We have a job to do!

Father: *ignoring her* Listen, I was thinking...maybe next time we have some quiet, we could maybe get some Italian?

Mrs Moppet Senior: *eyes darken with an idea* You realize the last time you got some Italian, she was Vanessa's mother?

Mother: You do know I didn't need to be reminded of tha *Father reaches out to Mother and the train rushes into another tunnel*


*train exits the dark tunnell*

Mother: *to the director* Would you cut that out with the tunnells???!!

 

[Beauregard]

Mrs Moppet Senior: *advances on Mother* Yes you two, love it up, but I need your help and if it means splitting one from t'other it won't be a problem.

Father: Momm'eh!

Mrs Moppet Senior: You lost the right to call be that when you fell for the Italian spy you were meant to be capturing. Now, you two, follow me or the end of the world will come even sooner than the end of your marrage.

Nicky: I've died and come back and battled a psycho and we've still lasted. Nothing is gonna happen to this marriage and since when did you need my help?

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *strides across train roof and grabs the back of his mom's trench coat* Let's get a few things straight, Mom, the first is that we dealt with a Fairy-God-Mother of Christy's, we can deal with a flesh-and-blood-mother of mine. The second is that if you want our help, you'll ask, not tell. And the third-*blank* Well, I did have a third but I just decided it would be better to leave it at that and release your coat...

*Suddenly two beavers jump at father*

Beaver1: Okay he's down.. Why are we doing this again?

Beaver2: I told you a million times! Because it's great fun!

Beaver1:But it doesn't make any sense! It's ridiculous!

Beaver2: Well, so is your face!

Beaver1: ... Of course it is - I AM A BEAVER!

Beaver2: Now shut it and let's tie him up and afterwards eat these wooden shoes.

Beaver1: I have done a lot of crazy things... but this beats them all. Vibs, can't we just be normal kids, go to school or preschool or whatever and... I dunno, bully our fellow pupils and play ludo?

Beaver2: ... You are disturbingly strange Viq.

Nicky: Okay I was about to say our husband looked really good until well..

Mother: Until the twins ruined the moment?

Nicky: Something like that.

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *is attacked by beavers* CHRISTY! Help! Get them off me! Uuuch, rodent-like-creatures-of-large-size...I think they are going to kill me...I only hit ONE badger with the car and they are going to KILL ME!

 

[christyb]

Mother: *laughs* Okay you two. Change back and give your Father a big kiss.

 

[Beauregard]

Father: You can hold on the slobber too...*shiver* Sometimes kids are quite able to disarm and alarm me. *drags self to feet, and turns to Mrs Moppet Senior* So, about these powerfull criminals you wanted us to go after...
