Living On a Cloud

Chapter 14

The Wiggles saw the four teens and approached them.

"Why'd you decide to come to our concert?" said Greg.

"We just saw you were getting a ton of applause" said Spencer.

"It still counts" said Jeff.

"Sure it does" said Fridge.

"Where's Murray?" said Bethany.

"I'm right here" said Murray's voice.

"You're right where?" said Spencer.

"I'm in the dinosaur costume. Look behind you" said Murray.

The teens turned around and Murray removed the dinosaur head from the costume.

"So you weren't on stage so you could be your dinosaur inspiration?" said Martha.

"Yeah" said Murray.

"Why did you have to dress as a dinosaur and talk like a scared old lady?" said Fridge.

"First of all, I'm not good at talking in a woman's voice. Second of all, you can't sing a dinosaur song for kids without a dinosaur" said Murray.

"I guess not" said Fridge.

"I admit it. That was really clever" said Bethany.

"Thanks" said Murray.

Then he turned to Martha and said "I suppose you're still a bit stressed?"

"Uh... well, yeah, kinda" said Martha.

"Would you like to stay in my place just to get away from it all?" said Murray.

Martha at first couldn't say a word.

Then she took Bethany to the side.

"What's wrong?" said Bethany.

"He wants me to stay with him. I can't. I'm not ready for that" said Martha.

"Look, girl, you're warming up to him. At least try to show him that" said Bethany.

"I get it, but I can't. I can't talk to guys. I'm terrible at it" said Martha.

"Oh, come on. He's the easiest guy to talk to I've ever met" said Bethany.

Martha took that for what it was worth.

She turned back to Murray and said "Sure, why not?"

"Would either of you boys like to join me and my brothers for a football match?" said Anthony.

"Hey! I'm up for it!" Fridge snapped excitedly.

"I'm going with Jeff" said Spencer.

"That leaves you and me, Bethany. Are you okay with that?" said Greg.

"I guess. But please don't tease me or do anything weird" said Bethany.

"Why would I?" said Greg.

Bethany just shrugged in response.
