[Scattered Thumbs]

You could have asked me directly. 

And the answer is no, I don't have to stay in the kitchen. 

<the voice is now on the porch>

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother drops her fork in startlement. Duke leaps foward and starts to clean the eggs from the fork.

"I... I thought you were in th... th kitchen, I.. I didn't know you could hear me," she stammers.

[Delmonico]

Delmonico gets to Dunning in the afternoon.  He checks into the hotel and changes into his suit and heads out onto the street.  He stops and buys a yaller paper rose from a little old lady.  Heck it only cost a dime.

He heads down the street to find a nice place to have a fine meal and suddenly that durn blue light comes down, he is abducted by the flyin' plates, right on main street in Dunning.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother is looking out over the yard, past the clothesline where some bedding is drying. As she looks, there is a pale blue glow and Delmonico's purple quilt vanishes from the clothesline.

"Oh, no, they've got him again!" And she bursts into tears.

[litl rooster]

litl rooster is cussing Dos behind the barn as he tries to nail his last shoe on, notice the pale blue lights wisk Del away...wishing to himself they would take this cantankorus horse insted. Delmonico could be a little crotchity but is at least entertaining especially in his new duds.  Going back to the Big House I pass Stoney and FFg eating their morning meal, and bid them a good day. Pour myself a cup of coffee. Turning to the picture on the wall I speak to ST,

ST, voce necessita para dizer esta historias que nao sao sea restrato e para tambem tentar dirigir Senorita FFg louco. I visto lhe sobre no Longbranch hoje e eu sabem que os seus no ate bom  (authors note, he doesn't know how to use accent functions please forgive me)

[Trinity]

Trinity is busy eating a plateful of bacon and an egg when the strange blue lights catch his attention as well.  He shoves four strips into his mouth and stands and looks out the window when he notices the FFG sobbing in the yard.

Immediately, Trinity rushes outside to console the FFG and to find out what has happened.  "Del is a tough ol' feller!  He'll be fine an' back afore we even know it!  ...Heck, he's prolly makin' them flyin' fellers time a rough one already!"

[Stoney Pete]

Stoney sees the blue light in the distance and mutters under his breath.  "Hey Del, your ride is here."   Seeing the FFG upset, Stoney keeps his humor to hisself.

He heads to the pen to slop the hogs.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother turns and weeps against Trinity's shoulder. Her sobs rack her frame as he consoles her and eventually she stills. When she lifts her face, it is grubby from being against his dirty clothing, with clean streaks and smears from her tears. For his part, Trinity's clothing now bears a large wet spot. Her breathing catches like tiny hiccups from the force of her crying as she looks up to him, sniffling.

"Thank you. I think I'll go wash my face and freshen up." She turns to go back into the kitchen.

[Scattered Thumbs]

Meanwhile some thousand miles southwest, in Tombstone Arizona, Scattered Thumbs wakes up at the doctor's where he has been the last five days after he was found out with a gun shot wound.
I was dreaming again about that crazy outfit in Nebraska, he mutters. I wonder who took that pot-shot at me, now that I'm out of the bounty hunting business and all. Scattered Thumbs rolls in his bed and falls asleep again.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

When the Frumpy Fairy Godmother returns to the kitchen, her dress and face are clean, though her eyes are still red rimmed from crying. There is an almost expectant hesitation as she enters the room, but she is greeted with silence.  Her brow furrows a little as she makes a fresh pot of coffee and starts to make sandwiches for lunch.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim drives a wagon fulla White Pine lumber into the yard. He takes the cheese outta his saddle bags and goes into the kitchen.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

When Slim enters, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother turns, then sweeps him into a hug. She manages to not start crying all over again as she kisses him on the cheek and explains about Delmonico and the voice in the house, and the bohunkhouse and the not-so-bohunkhouse.

"So, tell me," she asks, clasping his hands in hers, "How is your wife and the Slimettes, did she have the newest baby?"

[Silver Creek Slim]

"Thankee, ma'am, for the nice greeting. Sounds like ya had alot of goin' ons while I was away. The wife had a baby boy a week past. The girls are doing fine and love their new brother."

I bet not as tired as the Mrs....

litl rooster wonders why someone would take pot shots at Scatter Thumbs, yea he's nerve rackin' with his voice throwing and picture changings...He hasn't collected a Bounty in some time. Surely every one is still locked up or worst. As I sit here pondering these questions, There's one fella who leaves then shows back up out of the Blue, With no explations nodda...Unlike Slim who leading a double life as a father and husband/gunfighter/cheese salesman... Or Delmonico the cosie/seamtress/ Lab experiment, or even Trinty who is charge of his own Distillry and quality control director to boot. I can accont for ever one except........

[Trinity]

<Arthur's note: I finally got done readin' all y'all posted since I was gone. I'z tired now.  >

[Trinity]

Trinity enters the kitchen and slices himself a hunk of cheese.  He has a large spot on his shoulder that oddly, appears cleaner than the rest of his body.

"This shore is some good eatin' cheese, Slim!"

[gophergrease]

Slim CONGRATS on the new little one!!!!
What the count now 400 girls and 1 boy?

[Trinity]

<<It prolly feels that way sometimes.  >>

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

<<It prolly feels that way sometimes.  >>

... to Mrs. Slim.

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother grins widely.

[Delmonico]

No one noticed the blue light near Lincoln last night.  Delmonico talked the little green men into spending a night takin' in the sights of the Capital City before beginin' the probin.

However the blue light comes down in the early mornin' hours out west of town, just south of the salt flats.

<Hope to be back in a few days.>
