"Is she gone?"
"Yes.
Now settle down, all of you."
"Glad she didn't see the back half of the room."
"We'll clean the Carpet up after the Heartchilds get back.
See what they want done with it."
"You mean if they come back."
"....Good Evening, and welcome to, 'Fire Raid.'"
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Prepare to be dazzled, bamboozled, and...flabberoozled...…..by tonight's performances.
I hope you all enjoy.
Now, without further ado...….
SEND IN THE Animals!!!"
"Badooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!"
"....MmmmmmMMAAAAUUUUUYYYYYY!!!"
"....MmmmmmmMMMUUUAAUUUUUYYY!!!!"
"Is....that an Apple riding ontop of one of the Elephants?"
"Trainer must have forgotten to take away his lunch because....."
"Hello.
Helloo.
Hello.
Hello."
"It...… talks!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I talk, I walk, I do it all.
So come join me as I show you feats never before seen by the naked...
Wooooo!!!!!!!!
Speaking of naked, did you all just see that Lion jumping through the ring of fire?
I mean, I don't wear clothes, but maybe they should.
They are showing way too much skin. Whereas, I'm nothing but skin."
"Ahhhhhhaaahhhaaahhaaahaaa."
"Ahhhhaahhhhhaaaahhaaaahaaahaaaa."
"Comedy gold, Heartchilds.
Where did you even find this Apple?"
"We didn't. He sorta found us."
"Well, they love him. His personality is not as golden as his coat, but the Crowd certainly doesn't mind."
"As we are on the subject of Coats, let me bring to your attention a subject that should not be painted over."
"Woo…wooo…woo. What's he doing?
This isn't what we talked about. I'm gonna…."
"Do nothing.
What's the subject for tonight?"
"Family reunions."
"Exactly.
Apple is merely stating the overlay, and it will be our job to fill in the holes.
Trust us."
"Just no funny business."
"Wouldn't dream of it."
"First aspect of a good family is that they always stick next to each other; juggling their ups and downs. Ins and outs. Highs and lows."
"How do they do it all, you ask?"
"Well, it isn't as easy as it looks...…or is it?"
"Gotta go. That's my Que. Wish me luck."
"Good luck, Dad, but I know you won't need it."
"Thanks.
How do I look?"
"You look fine, Hun. Now go out there and show them that age is just a number."
"Yeah, and mine is Unlisted.
*Huuuuuu....Whooooo.*
"Here goes nothing.
Give me a push will ya?"
"Sure thing."
"One..…..Two...…..Three.....Four...…Five...…and...…
*Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, flip*
"Once you figure out how to juggle work and life into one; it'll look like magic."
"Yeah, or maybe a disaster. Just hope I don't drop one of these and end up in Jeopardy."
"YOU'RE DOING FINE, HUN."
"Mrs. Heartchild."
"Sorry."
"Have you ever been to a Circus before? We don't usually talk and applaud."
"...Must have been a while."
"HIGHER!!!!"
"HIGHER!!!!"
"FARTHER!!"
"FARTHER!!!!"
"Apple, I'm starting to slip here."
"Ready for more?"
"Wait, let me gain my balance first and then....Ok. I'm ready."
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!
FILL…..HIM.....UP!!!!!"
