"You can thank me when I take your seat.
*Clip…..clicccc...clii....snap*
Funny, no Guards out tonight? No one to protect the Castle? All the easier for me. Guess everyone went to sleep early.
*BOOM
.....BOOM*
Of course not the big guy.
….Look, whatever you think I am doing...I wasn't. I am a Lancleaner, and…
*Screeeaaaaccckkhkhhhh*
Guys…..Girls? Whatever you ants and bears are, I'm just going to be on my way and….Aaaaaaghhh. No. No. No. No. No. Noooooo."
*Phueem*
"Ouch."
"Lolli, are you ok? You just went down, and nobody touched you. Do I need to...Why are you smiling?"
"Everything is ok, Theresa. Deathpetal just caught another one; trying to sneak into my Castle this time."
"You mean Elwins castle?"
"I mean…..why?
Have I not given people everything they desire? Unlimited food from my hands. No work for life, and no early starts. What more could they want? Surely they don't think they could do better by replacing me. I mean…...look at them.
Playing Volleyball, under the stars. Soccer on the sand. Kids swimming graciously. Sandcastles built to the Heavens, and girls catching a....Moon tan!!!!
Am I not enough, that people would want more?"
"No, Lolli. I mean, yes. I mean...….You are perfect for them. Just give everyone time to treat you as a fun Babysitter, and not a..."
"Not a what? Go on. Say it."
"A….."
"HELP!!!!!!
I can't swim. I can't…..blurblurblurblurblur….ahh…blurblurblurblur. ahh.
HELP!!!!!"
"No Lifeguard?"
"Ants can't...."
*Phuu…..phuuu...SPLASH*
"I thought they couldn't swim."
"They can't."
"HELP!!! I'M DROWNING."
"Hold on, Baby. Momma's coming."
"But they can float?
.....KID, GRAB ONTO THE ANT, AND HE'LL PULL you to shore."
"I can't. I…..."
"Now, Ant. Slow and steady."
"I don't think that Ant is listening to you anymore, Lolli."
".....Blur…..bluaaaaghhh….blaggg….Kaaaghhh."
"Are you ok? Breathe...Just breathe."
"Mom....Dad?"
"We're here."
"I promise never to swim all the way out there again. It was a stupid bet that…"
"You're safe now. That's all that matters.
…..Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Not you. I was talking to the Ant."
"But I.....can't see him?"
"Lolli?"
"I can't see him. The effects must be wearing off. I need to give him his…..I need to….
HEY YOU!!!!!
B17 NEEDS A SHOT."
"A shot?"
"A shot?"
"Why would he…"
"I don't know."
"What's he doing?"
*Prick*
"....Aaaagh, that's better. I can see again, Theresa."
"Just keep your voice down next time, or people will get even more suspicious."
"Uhh...NOTHING TO BE worried about. Just had some water clogged, and needed help getting it out before it.....That's all."
"You sure?"
"Phwoo.
That was a close one, Theresa. Think they got on?"
".......Everyones starting to go back to before, so I'd say you're clean...….this time."
"Hopefully this is the only time.
…..Who here is having fun?"
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Let's show these Early Risers who's boss. With....NO….... Bedtime!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"
"Theresa, the key is to keep them distracted. Focus on something else. Look...where you're not."
