Hmmm... Seems like a quiet day. Think I'll get some chores done before the wife and girls wake up.

*Sets to check on agenda and accomplishing chores like laundry, some baking for later in the day, and sorting the mail/bills.

Kelly: <yawn> That was a good story last night.

Tabby: <yawn> Yeah, but I fell asleep before the end.

Ann: <yawn> Me too.

Kelly: Yeah. When did you two fall asleep?

Tabby: I think I fell asleep around the part when they were in a coffee shop.

Ann: I think that's when I fell asleep, too.

Kelly: Yeah, that's when I fell asleep. I wonder what happens next?

Ann: Maybe Daddy will tell us the rest of the story some time.

Kelly: I hope so.

Tabby: What I want to know is why there was a log in the middle of the desert.

Ann: Yeah, that was a little weird.

Kelly: Maybe it got there by magic?

Tabby: What is "magic" anyway? We keep hearing about it, and nobody's explaining it.

Ann: I don't know, and I don't want to find out.

Kelly: Why not?

Ann: Because what if it's dangerous? And if we know what it is, then we could get all tangled up in it and get ourselves hurt.

Tabby: But we already do that without magic.

Kelly: No, that's just you.

Tabby: Well, whatever.

Kelly: Maybe we should ask Daddy. He seems to know about it.

Tabby: Ok!

Ann: Well... alright...

Tabby: Let's go find him.

*In the playroom, checking on figure display. OK, that's there... And this one goes here...
*Door creaks open and girls come in. Who's there?
Ah, if it isn't my three little sleepyheads. Well, I thought you'd be ribbeted by the story.
*Places figure in its box above the shelf...
Well, is there something you wanted to ask me?

Tabby: Yeah Daddy, we wanted to-

Kelly: We were wondering-

Tabby: See we were going to ask-

Kelly: Because we really want to know-

Tabby: And everybody's been talking-

Kelly: But not telling us!-

Tabby: So we thought you could-

Ann: <sigh> Would you stop interrupting each other?

Ann, Kelly, and Tabby: What's magic?

Oh dear... Well...
*Sits down with all three girls around. Magic can be a funny thing. It's based on the energy surrounding everyone and everything. See... Certain people are born in the ordinary way, like your uncle Bo or your cousin Vic. Then there are people who are born with certain abilities different than most others, like your cousins or like yourselves.
People who aren't born with magic can either just go along with their lives in the normal way... And then again, others can choose to study and learn about magic.

Magic can be used in a lot of ways... *Reaches behind Kelly's ear... Like this... *Pulls out a quarter from behind and gives it to Kelly.
Or then again... *Snaps fingers to make Tabby lift up the ground a little before bringing her back down.
And other effects of magic are mental in nature, like telepathy. Yes Ann, I know where you hid your bat charm so your sisters wouldn't get it.

Of course, there are people who choose to do bad things with their magic. But that's a lesson for another time. In time, you'll start to grow into your powers and we'll enroll you in Magic School.
You know... The place where Daddy goes to work. They'll teach you about good and bad magics, and how to control it and stuff like that.
For now though, I'd purrfer it if you tried to refrain from using whatever magic comes naturally to you. Changing from form to form's OK, but know when to do it so as not to scare people around us we might not know.

Now then, does that answer your questions?

Kelly: Oh... so when we change from kittens to babies, that's magic?

Tabby: Like this? <changes to baby form>

Ann: How do you know where I hid my bat charm?

Kelly: I like this quarter... <plays with the quarter>

Tabby: Hey Daddy, how did you make me hover? That was fun!

Ann: So wait, we're going to get more... um... powers besides changing from cats to humans?

Tabby: <changes back to kitten> What kind of powers?

Ann: What if we use them by mistake? Is that possible? What if... what if we accidently turn ourselves into rocks!

Tabby: That'd be neat!

Kelly: So when can we not go back and forth between kitten and baby?

Somewhere... else...

Viq: Vibs, where is she taking us?

Vibs: I don't know... traitor...

Viq: Well, let's hope we are going somewhere nice. Like... To the north pole or something.

Vibs: North Pole?

Viq: North Pole.

Vibs: Oooh Noo! I'm going to the North Pole with my twinbrother who let me down, and some silly nanny?

Viq: Silly?! Now watch your language or I'll tell her brother that a certain baby has a certain crush on a certain him.

Vibs: I have NOT!

Viq: ... Right...

Vibs: *Crosses arms*

Viq: So... We are officially enemies now?

Vibs: *glowers* Yes we are.

Viq: Alright, let's shake hands on that.

Vibs: Allright, enemy.

*Shake hands and by that point the nanny and twins disappear for a couple of days (I can't explain why the nanny is coming back in 4 days and the twins not until in 9 days, but... It is The Moppet Family after all. Have fun everybody! See you soon.)*

Take it easy girls. One at a time please.

Ann...
1 I know where you hid your charm because like I told you, sometimes magic can be used to read minds. And I was reading yours at that moment as an example of that type of magic while explaining what magic was to you all.
2 Yes, it's possible that you might turn yourselves into rocks. But if that happens, all you need to do is contact your sisters or Mommy or Daddy and we'll help turn you back.
3 Yes, you'll gain individually distinct powers as you grow up. After all, you are magical beings.
4 Yes, when you change from form to form, that's magic.

Kelly dear...
5 So long as you're here with your family, and with the rest of the Moppets, you may change from kitten to baby/girl and back again. If we're out in public and we're alone, you may use that trick, but you should be careful not to let others catch you performing such a feat. If we're out in public and there's other people around, it'd be best to remain in one form or the other.

Tabby...
6 That little flight was a demonstration of the powers I have which I used to explain to you what magic is.
Now, are there any questions I missed? If you have no more questions, then we can go ahead and read the rest of that nice story before having a dinner together.
Come on girls...

*All exit playroom and go to reading room.

Jack: Oh, hello sir, I hope you don't mind if I stay in one of your rooms for a while until I clear my na... I mean my allergies, yes, until I clear my allergies. I need a room, with no questions asked.
A room...right. Um...well, there's the office is empty. Needs a little dusting and a matress, but, it should be...ish. You know.

Would you like to explain...um...would you like a cup of tea?
