Sam took Jeremy's guitar back to Wigglehouse and gave it to Murray.

"How's this, Murray?" she said.

"Perfect, thanks, Sam" said Murray.

He played it with another recording and it worked perfectly for the sound the Wiggles wanted.

"Wow! That sound was different from the last. This is sure some fun, Sam!" said Dick.

"It sure is! What's even more fun is that I promised Paul I'd help him plan his wedding. Wanna come?" said Sam.

"I sure do!" said Dick enthusiastically. 

"Have fun, you two" said Greg.

Sam and Dick held hands as they strolled across the street.

They ran into Chad and Jeremy on the way. 

Of course, Jeremy was wheeling Chad along the walkway in his chair.

"Hey, guys!" said Sam.

"Hullo, Sam, Dick" said Jeremy. 

"Oh, Jeremy, I just wanna let you know I lent your guitar to Murray. He'll give it back when he can" said Sam.

"Oh, certainly" said Jeremy.

"I also met your brother. He's a nice guy" said Sam.

"Your brother's in town?" said Chad.

"Indeed he is, Chad the lad. We can see him when we get back, eh?" said Jeremy.

"Of course. I'd love to see him again" said Chad.

"Again? You've met before?" said Dick. 

"Of course we have, Dick. Jeremy and I once played croquet with him" said Chad. 

"Good times" said Jeremy affectionately.

"Well, we're off. You think you'll be home tonight, Chad?" said Sam.

"Well, I'm in a wheelchair, so I'll say yes" said Chad.

"Great; maybe I'll see ya" said Sam. 

"I'd like that. Your presence might make Meg a little less tense" said Chad.

"Holy stage fright. She's tense?" said Dick.

"Yes. Ever since I started rehab, she's been short-tempered and easily frightened" said Chad.

"I guess I would be too if someone I loved needed to recover from knee surgery" said Dick. 

"Did you ever get surgery, Dick?" said Jeremy.

"Not in my life" said Dick. 

"Me neither. But I've seen plenty of 'em" said Sam. 

"Alright. Now we're off. We're gonna plan Jill and Paul's wedding" said Dick. 

"Wonderful! Give them our regards, eh?" said Jeremy. 

"Will do" said Sam as she and Dick continued on.
