[Silver Creek Slim]

"Good idea."

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Duke nods his agreement, then runs off with Daisy and Claire to roll in something foul smelling.

Duke nods his agreement, then runs off with Daisy and Claire to roll in something foul smelling.

<Arthur's note: Them ain't my dogs.>

[Trinity]

After rolling, Claire decides that Trinity should be awake so she bounds up the porch and jumps into the hammock.  Her stench is overpowering and even Trinity notices:

*Sniff* *Sniff*  ...   *Sniff* *Sniff* 

<<Opens eye>> "Hey Claire!  Whatcha doin' up here?  *Sniff* *Sniff*  ...  You smaill that?  <<wrinkles nose>>  Smaills like the Wedgywood throne room right after Del leaves it."

Realizing that the smell is emanating from Claire, he tells her: "Shoooo, you stink!  Hop on down an' go to the FFG.  Mebbe she'll use that magical wand of hers on ya!"

Claire reluctantly hops down, tucks her tail between her legs and begins to whine.  She walks off toward the door and stops to look back.  Trinity points to the door "Go".  Claire ducks her head and walks in the house to look for the FFG.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother is standing in the kitchen, slicing potatoes, when Claire enters.

The stench reaches her first. Her eyes water and her sinuses scream.

"What in the blue blazes..." she turns away from the counter, "..Claire! You stink!"

Claire whimpers some more, her tail still tucked.

"Oh, you poor gerl, did Trinity yell at you?"

Claire whimpers and nods.
"Did he send you to see me?"
Again, a whimper and a nod.

"Do Duke and Daisy smell like you?"

Another nod.

"Okie, lemme rinse the 'taters and we'll go fix all of you. Want Duke to smell like lavender?"

Claire visibly brightens and she gives a "whuff" of agreement as the Frumpy Fairy Godmother puts the potatoes under water.

She glides out on the porch and gives Trinity a snap of a wet towel as she passes him, going down the steps with Claire.

"You don't smell much better than she does, you know."

Claire dances around her in anticipation as they go to find Duke and Daisy.

About fifteen minutes later, the four of them come back. Daisy and Claire are preening with bright pink ribbons tied in bows around their necks. They smell clean and fresh and their coats are brushed to a soft gloss.

Duke, meanwhile, is just as clean, but his bow is blue and he smells like lavender. He wanders up to Trinity and raises his leg on Trinity's boot for payback.

[Trinity]

Trinity opens an eye: "Ah smail like flars!"  Trinity exclaims to the FFG.  Then he sees the dogs:  " Oh no!  Bows!  Ah might have made a mis-stake in sending Claire in to the FFG!"

He closes his eye and rolls over in the hammock.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother smiles as the dogs look to her. She lifts her fist and extends her index finger. The dogs quiver in excitement. Her middle finger rises and their tails wag. Her ring finger joins the first two and she mouths "three."

The dogs turn in unison and lift to stand on their hind legs. They place their front legs on the edge of the hammock, placing their combined weight on it. They scramble back as the hammock tips, flipping Trinity out of it.

Laughing, the Frumpy Fairy Godmother goes back to the potatoes.

[Stoney Pete]

Trinity hits the floor hard.  Stoney sits in his chair sipping coffee and smiling.

<whisper> Ya know Trin.  I have expected her to take you down to the tub and have you come back smellin' like Lavender and all tied up in bows. <whisper>  The mental image of that made Pete smile.

As Trinity got up Pete hands him his Jug.  "To ease the pain form your fall."

[Delmonico]

Delmonico comes out of the cellar, "Them durn flyin' plates have been after me the last two nights.  That one little fella with the 3 eyes was lookin' in the window of my office.  I hid in the cellar."

Delmonico then goes out on the porch, "At least I should be safe in the day time.  I'm going to the barn to get some boards.  I'm gonna board up my office window to be safe at night, I should be safe since it's a clear day and almost noon."

Just as he is openin' the barn door a blue light comes down and carries him off.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim runs to his room and opens the window. He pushes the "toy" that GG brought him from the future to the open window. He pulls the trigger and blazes away at the flying plate. "Dagnabit, that plate sure gets outta range in a hurry. I hope they bring Del back soon." 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Duke goes running after the flying plate, barking wildly, but ducks and hunkers down when Slim starts shooting.

He looks to the sky and howls mournfully.

[Stoney Pete]

"Man, that Del sure get carried away alot."

The FFG whacks Stoney on the back of the head.

  Delmonico   fone home!!!!!!![/b]

[gophergrease]

Well with Del gone guess the kitchen al mine.

Super of fried steak, caned beans and chocolate cake work for you all.

[Trinity]

Trinity doesn't answer.  He just sits at the table with his knife and fork ready, looking around for everyone else.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

"Thank you, GopherGrease."

The Frumpy Fairy Godmother has her seat at the table. She looks at Trinity and bites back a smile, wondering how long it will be before he notices the bright purple bow around his neck.

[Stoney Pete]

"Thanks GG."  Stoney takes a place at the table.  He looks at Trinity to see why the FFG has the "look" on her face.

When notices what she's lookin' at he tries not to laugh.  To prevent it he says, "I think I'll slop the pigs before supper."

As soon as he out the door you could hear laughter all the way to the barn.

"Baa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slim enters the kitchen and sees Trinity with the purple bow 'round his neck. He bites his lip and mumbles, "I'z goin' to check fer eggs." He heads out the front door and bursts into laughter. 

[Stoney Pete]

Pete meets Slim in the barn.  At a glance both know what's on the other's mind and have a good laugh.

"Now that we got that outta our system we gots to keep strait faces at the table.  I don't want to ruin the surprize when Trinity sees the bow."

Stoney heads back to the house.  Slim would follow after he got the eggs.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Slims gathers the eggs and heads back to the kitchen. He bites his lip, puts the eggs in the icebox, and takes a seat at the table.
