"How far away is this thing again, and why can't you just teleport us there?"
"I don't know.....and No."
"Why not?"
"They changed the Meet. Last time I was here, they were rebuilding, and demolishing."
"Let me guess; Dragon destroyed it on his walk through?"
"Actually…..no.
I did!!!!!"
"What?"
"I got mad and..."
"Say no more.
So, who's all at this thing?
Everyone we saw yesterday?"
"And more."
"There's more?"
"Lots more, but don't worry.
It's kinda like a big courtroom where people just sit around and debate all day."
"Then why do you go? Sounds nothing like you."
"I don't.
Well, as much as the Public knows I don't."
"Ohhhhhh. Collect info on how to properly make change when Royals say it, because you know they won't?"
"Now you're starting to look like me."
"Nowadays, we call that a Green man."
"What?"
"Guy in the background that pulls the string, but nobody sees."
"I'm a girl."
"Green...girl. I don't know.
Greenthumb!!!!"
"Greenthumb?"
"Well…...yeah. Your fingers are Nature, and green for leaves slash life."
".......Please don't call me that."
"Haaaaauuuuhh!!!! I saw you think about it."
"That's all it was. Just a thought."
"Ruby, everything starts with only a thought."
"I was gonna say 'Seed', but you're close.
Do you even know what we are looking for?"
"How should I know? That's why I asked...….Hey…....hey.....look. It's Jalapeno."
"What's he doing here?"
"They say music calms every mood, and if you say the annual meeting is like a Courtoom, then music is definitely the first place to start."
"But he's just a…..…."
"My Pillow guy?"
"I'll never understand you."
"Come on. He just went around that bend."
"Rainbow, slowly now.
Remember, we are not even supposed to be here."
"Neither is he."
"Is that...…."
"Kain!!!"
"And his father Laphate behind him?"
"Maybe we should pick up the pace before we lose any more surprises."
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Panda, you're not supposed to surprise me, but the Townsfolks."
"Sorry. Just practicing.
When will they get here?"
"Soon, Panda. Soon."
"OOooo...…I am so excited, I can't contain myself."
"You'll have to.
Now, I'll read a clue, like, 'I am a Folivore, of the class Mammalia. My paws may look like all fur, but with my enlarged wrist bone, I can make a hand. Whether it is to shake your hand, or give you a hug; I care not which. Just remember, if you invite me over to your place; don't cook Meat.' "
*Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap*
"Shh, keep it down. They're coming."
"DARIUS, you up here?"
"COMING, MOM!!!!!
Gotta go.
Remember, stay in character...…and have fun with it."
"Wait, should I smile, or…..…."
"Pan, you're trying to have them chase you, by blending in."
"Got it."
"Everybody ready?"
"DARIUS!!!"
"Cause I am."
*Bang...bang....bang.*
Meeting is in session. Everyone, please rise."
"Rainbow, now."
*Phueeeeee…..Phueeeeeeeeeee.....Phueeeeee..*
"Nobody panic. Nobody panic. Just must be a fuse loose. I'm certain all the lights will come back on prematurely."
"Did you do that?
If so, that was not part of the plan."
"I didn't touch anything, I swear."
"Then who did?"
*Vreeeearrrroooom*
"...Get your swords out, Rainbow."
"What?"
"Swords out......now!!!!!!"
