Tess

Hen and I come down via the tubes and see pieces of the ceiling on the floor.

"Hey."

"Hi Henry and Teresa!" Where did that come from. 

"Whoa, what th— Why is Schwoz—" Uncle Ray shoots at the ceiling again. 

"Ha! Missed me, missed me! You are very stooooopid."

"Those are not the lyrics!" Another shot at the ceiling. 

"Ow, my shoe!!!" Schwoz's shoe lands on the floor. 

"Okay, what is going on?"

"Schwoz won't give Ray the launch key to his little rocket ship."

"Well why won't he--Schwoz has a rocket ship?"

"It's called the Love Shuttle!"

"Why did Schwoz build a Love Shuttle?"

"For his honeymoon."

"Yeah he says that when he gets married, he wants to have his honeymoon on the actual moon."

"Don't be ridiculous, Schwoz. You're never getting married." Another shot to the ceiling. Uncle Ray needs to aim better. 

"It could happen! There's women out there who'll take anybody!"

"Ahhhh! Gimme that key!" Ray starts shooting at the ceiling. 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Pieces of the ceiling fall on the floor. 

"I think you might be overreacting."

"May I?" Char takes the blaster and aims it at Schwoz.

"No no wait, Charlotte, don't--ahhh!" Schwoz falls. 

"Ha! You...You shot his butt."

"Owww..." Jasp comes down the elevator. 

"Hey! Did you guys hear?!? There's a hostage situation up in space!"

"We heard."

"We're aware."

"Well...did you know that one of the astronauts is from Swellview?!?" I'm assuming that Jasp hadn't check the news until recently. 

"Yessss."

"Yeah, Jim Dickle."

"Ohh...Well, did you know I was born with eleven toes, but only nine on my feet?"

"What'd he say?"

"Eleven?"

"Yeah. Who's got news now?" Something is beeping.

"I'll check that." Char goes to the computers and answers the alert. 

"Hey, shouldn't you be up at Junk 'N' Stuff, watching the store?"

"Well, I have to use the bathroom, but the one upstairs is broken."

"That's why we told you to use the bathroom across the street, at the gas station."

"I'm no longer welcome at that gas station." Jasp, what did you do to their bathrooms?

"Uh-ohhh. You guys...the space station's gonna be orbiting over Swellview in one hour."

"So?"

"What does that mean?" 

"That if you guys don't head up there soon, you'll have to wait another 24 hours. And by then it may be too late!"
