"The Moppet Family..."

[minidoozer]

*Goes into the café with Jack*

Nice place.

*Finds a table and sits down*

What would you like for breakfast Jack?

*Picks up the menu*

And what do you think Mr. Moppet would like?

 

[theprawncracker]

Oh, um, I think Mr. Moppet would enjoy the egg and ham omelette. Or at least that's what I think he'd enjoy, since he's a big ham! Ha. I crack my self up. That was a close call back at the house sister. We have to be more careful!

*smackes dog's head*

Bad doggy....give that back...

*tries to get wallet from the dog's slobbery mouth*

Hey, give, give! No, they'll have ordered, and I shan't have money to pay if you destroy my paper money with your slobber! Shame, shame...

 

[minidoozer]

Egg and ham? That could be a good idea. What about you then?

*Looks at the menu*

Hmm... I'll take mashed fish with raw potatoes and a cup of tea with loads of grass and concrete in it.

*Turns to Jack*

Yes, you're right about that we have to be more careful with you! Next time I'll cover you with two coats and a moustache.

Ann, Kelly, and Tabby: Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy? Daddy?

Kelly: Can you please read us that story you told us about?

Ann: Please?

Tabby: Please, Daddy? Please?

Ann, Kelly, and Tabby: Please? Please? Please? Please? Please?

Ann: You know, maybe if we beg, it will make him NOT want to read to us.

Tabby: That's the craziest thing I've ever heard of. Please Daddy? Please?

Kelly: I think Ann has a point, Tabby.

Tabby: Well, then how are we going to get Daddy to read to us?

Kelly: Like this.

<they quietly look up at Mr. Cole and wait to be noticed.>

*Not knowing, arrives home. Well, that's taken care of. Just sent off the tapes to get the episodes needed for further listing research. Also got the MO for another shipment to add to the collection. Still nothing in the mail dear? No? Well, maybe it'll get here tomorrow. Been four weeks since...

*Hears silence. Where are the girls? Are they sleeping? Got a little present here for Kelly. Thought I'd read them that story they wanted. Hmmm, now where are they?

 

[TogetherAgain]

Tabby: We're right here, Daddy!

Ann: Can you please read that story to us, Daddy?

Kelly: Hi, Daddy!

Tabby and Ann: Hi, Daddy!

 

[theprawncracker]

Yes, I think I'll have the bread and water. I'm used to that. Except here I'll have the wheat bread instead of white. And bottled water instead of tap.

 

[The Count]

*Getting surprised by all three girls jumping into arms at the same time. There you are. Certainly, but let me get my breath back.
OK, now... Ann and Tabby, please go get your charms and meet Kelly and me in the reading room. We'll be waiting for you there.
*Hands Kelly wrapped bag with cloud charm of her own after others leave. Here's your charm dear. Now, let's go to the reading room and pick out our spot for when your sisters return.

Dear all,
I hope all is well. As of right now we're in the Amazon. I do believe Grandma is beginning to get a little tired. So hopefully, I'll be able to convince her to come home in the near future. Hugs and kisses to Vibs, Viq, and Vic. I hope the three of you aren't giving your father a hard time. Also, please tell Adam and Izzy congratulations. I just heard about their new additions. Now behave yourselves and keep the house in one piece. I don't want it a mess when I come back.

Love,
Mother
