"The Moppet Family..."

[TogetherAgain]

Ann: I'm hungry.

Kelly: Me too.

Tabby: Me three.

Ann: You are not three.

Tabby: That's not what I meant.

Kelly: I bet if we find Mommy or Daddy, they'll feed us.

Tabby: Great! Let's go look for them! <bounds off>

Ann: Tabby!

Tabby: <stops> what?

Ann: They wouldn't be over there.

Tabby: Why not?

Ann: Because they've never been there. We've never been there.

Tabby: All the more reason to explore it!

Ann: Or we could go where we might actually find our parents.

Tabby: Where's the fun in that?

Kelly: Tabby, I thought you were hungry.

Tabby: Fine, we'll go that way...

<they go the other way>

*In the reading room with the TV and VHS/DVD/VCD machine. Ah, good, that'll help the research along.

*Hears meows from girls approaching. Oh there you are. Hungry dears? Well then, come here and I'll get you something.
*Leaves girls in the sofa and retrieves something to eat for all.
OK, got you your milk in cups made of plastic. Think you're getting old enough to start drinking out of glasses instead. And I brought some guava cakes. These are little cakes filled with a fruit jelly. They've been cut up into little squares and they're bite-sized. Now, let's get comfy and watch some more SS while we have our snack. There... Is that better girls?
