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

[RedDragon]

Saryx: Perfect!

Mairin: Indeed <frowns> I think Mr. Moppet is still under the house....In the hole you just sealed...

 

[TogetherAgain]

Ann: ...Oops.

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *underneith the house in the hole she just sealed* Either I just went blind, or the light-bulb blinked out.

Meanwhile, back in the past, Beauregard Parker Moppet is reassembeling a gun in the living room, when the door opens and his mother appears...

Mrs Moppet Senior: Bo...?

Parker: *snaps gun together* Yeah?

Mrs Moppet Senior: Are you ready for this?

Parker: *bitterly* Always.

Mrs Moppet Senior: Good. She'll dbe back to her dorm at the school by 20:00 hours. Meet her there, and get the job done.

Parker: *shoves gun into ankle holster* Easy.

Mrs Moppet Senior: Bo? If you can do this...I'll be very proud of you. Here, take this. *handing him a perfectly crafted blade with an ornate handle* You may need it.

Parker: Nice. *tosses it from hand to hand, testing the weight, then misses, accidently letting it drop with a thump onto the floor boards, which sound hollow* Hey...do we have a basement?

Mrs Moppet Senior: *freezes* We have...a...neclear bunker...with enough warheads to blow half the continent to China...but that's not worth worrying your little head about.

 

[The Count]

Suddenly, and without warning... A mini explosion erupts from the Moppets' basement in the past, taking out Parker and Mrs. Moppet Sr. temporarily. The mini explosion has ripples throughout the timeline, causing a subsequent mini explosion in the Moppets' basement in the present. The effects here are less severe, blowing open a hole in the floor so Bo can climb back outside joining the others in the newly remade Moppets' household.

Back in the Past...

Christy: *runs up to the Moppet household and knocks on the door* Come on...be home!

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *is blown out of the hole by explosion, landing neatly on the pink flowery sofa* Honey I'm home! *blinks* Well that was random.

--

Parker: *slammed against the front door by the explosion...face hits the glass, and sinks to the floor leaving a trail of saliva*

Mrs Moppet Senior: *unconcious* *what is there to italicize about that?*

Parker: *grips the door handle to straighten self up, and unwittingly pulls the door open and stumbles outside into Christy*

 

[christyb]

Christy: *catches Parker* Man, you gotta lose some weight. What on earth just happened in there?

 

[Beauregard]

Parker: I think my mom is craz-Christy? Oh no...*backs away, letting sword hang by his side* I mean...that is...hi! Hi, er, how are you....is your health? How is your health? Are you healthy? *blink* Are you ok? What are you doing here? Why am I holding this sword? why am I speaking fast and squeakily?

 

[christyb]

Christy: *takes the sword tests it's weight scaring Parker to death with near blows then replaces it* Nice blade. Anyways *looks around for her parents or Adam* I need you to take me on a date tonight...to the warf.

 

[Beauregard]

Parker: *blood drains from face* A date? A date? Like a date-date-date-type-date? A date? What about Adam? What about Ron? What about my mom? What would I wear? A date? Tonight? What about--No, no I can't. I can't...*backs away, shaking head, lowering the sword*

Mrs Moppet Senior: *sitting up woosily* Who is at the door? If it's the postman, tell him not till later my energy's about used up with being unconcious right now.

Parker: *slips right out the door and shuts it behind him, now face to face with Christy* Alright, Christy. If you need a date, I can do that. But it has to start right now, and on my terms.
