A Strange & Winding Road: Day 55a

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): What, pray tell, are you two troublemakers snickering at over here?

Persephone (to Poppy): Oh my! Aunt Poppy, you scared the dickens out of me.

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): I'm sure I did, honey. Now, do you mind telling me why you're both hiding behind the hedge, giggling?

Persephone (to Poppy): Oh, we were playing hide and seek with my brothers.

Victor (to Poppy): What she said.

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): And?

Persephone (to Poppy): Uh, they may not know that we're playing with them.

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): Honey, I thought you were supposed to be watching your brothers while your parents were out on errands?

Persephone (to Poppy): They were being little monsters.

Victor (to Poppy): They were being more than a little bit unbearable, Mom.

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): So what have you done with the little terrors, sweeties?

Persephone (to Poppy): Nothing terrible. Honest. We talked them into playing a game of escape artist... and then we came out here.

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): Was it the chairs or the closet this time? When will those two boys learn... I swear.

Persephone (to Poppy): It was just the pantry closet. We even left the light on for them.

Victor (to Poppy): We weren't gonna leave them in there long. Just a minute. Or ten...

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): So, what you're telling me is that you locked Edward & Ben in the pantry, where your mother keeps the candy & the canned goods? ... You both are in so much trouble.

Persephone (to Poppy): Oh... I didn't think about that, at all. Grunt!

Victor (to Poppy): Oh. No wonder they weren't trying to get out.

Poppy (to Victor & Persephone): Yes, we are now going to have 2 spastic children on our hands... I think you both need to go find Vincent. I'll go deal with the boys... and then, I'll deal with you two.

Persephone (to Poppy): Yes ma'am.

A Strange & Winding Road: Day 54

Eep (to Percy): What? 

Percy (to Eep): Oh, was I staring, honey? You look different... Wait. You seem in a good mood. What happened?

Eep (to Percy): Uh, what are you talking about?

Percy (to Eep): I detected a hint of a smile, honey. Did something good happen? I'm being serious. Honest.

Eep (to Percy): Oh. Um, no? Kinda? Um, Mouse and I got married.

Percy (to Eep): It's about time, honey. Congratulations!

Eep (to Percy): We already got married in Bizarro World, you know. You were there. But, um, thanks.

Percy (to Eep): I know, honey, but you live here... Oh... This explains why Wanda was upset with you guys.

Eep (to Percy):  Yeah. She was kinda annoyed. I don't even know how she found out, actually...

Percy (to Eep): Well, she & Delia had helped Mouse pick out her dress, but she seems to have a weird gift for finding out things.

Eep (to Percy): Oh yeah. Right. But, you're right. She pays way more attention than you think she does.

Percy (to Eep): Speaking of Wanda, here she comes... She's taking me to the Aquarium. There's some kind of nighttime event.

Eep (to Percy):  Oh? Oh. She's taking you there, huh? Uh... Don't get arrested.

Percy (to Eep): Huh... Is that really a possibility?

Eep (to Percy): If she takes you to see the jellyfish, yes. Just remind her there are security cameras in there. I am NOT bailing her out. Not again. (to Wanda) Hey! Don't get arrested!

Wanda (to Percy): No. No words for you! You are not allowed to talk to me until you're officially forgiven. You also have no idea how to have fun! (to Percy) Ready? Come on! We're gonna be late. You should see the jellyfish at night! They're really cool!

Percy (to Wanda): Oh okay... (to Eep) Help?

Eep (to Percy): You're on your own. Good luck.

Percy (to Eep): Tell my mom I loved her. You know what I mean. :-p (to Wanda) Let's go, pretty lady.

Eep (to Percy): I have no idea. I don't WANT an idea.
