The New Adventures of Courage the Cowardly Dog

Ep 9b: Courage's Grand Day Out (Part 2)

(While the rocket floated gently out in space, Courage and Kylie took their time to shuffle a deck of cards they had around, and did so rather impressively. During this time, Muriel was rocking in her chair and Eustace like always was reading a newspaper)

Eustace: (in interest) Hmm...

(Eustace then turned a page in his paper, Muriel hummed to herself a bit and Courage took two cards and placed them together gently to start building a house of cards with Kylie. Eustace then folded the newspaper up and put it down as he sighed. Out of boredom, he then twiddled his thumbs, crossed his legs two different ways and whistled a bit, all in that order.

Kylie placed some more cards together, continuing her and Courage's house of cards, while Muriel rocks more and Eustace twiddled his thumbs some more. He then grabbed a camera, and used his finger to scrub the lenses, making it squeak. He then aimed the camera at his dog and niece, as it flashed, making both Courage and Kylie's eyes dilate as they shook their heads, recovering from the flash.)

Eustace: One for the album. (He laughs)

(The slightly annoyed Courage and Kylie continued on their House of Cards, putting another pair of cards together. Then the four noticed a peculiar low-humming noise coming from where the controls were.)

Kylie: Huh?

(Then a crisp piece of toast came popping up from a toaster-like mechanism in the area of the control panel, and they realized the toaster was the source of the low hum)

Kylie: Oh. Ha! (pulls out toast) Nicely done.

(Kylie then took a bite of the toast, chewing it and gulping it down, before finishing the rest of the toast. Courage had his house of cards stacked high as he put another pair together on top of the others, and then they heard one of the lights beeping before one of the buttons rang. Courage knew that could mean something as he glanced at the window outside, as did Kylie, Muriel and Eustace. They were stunned to see the sight of the moon, which they were approaching.

Kylie looked at Courage, grinning, and then the dog, who held his cards together, gestured to the controls and nodded, as if telling him to prepare for landing. Kylie pointed at herself in confusion and Courage nodded. So the young girl got up and adjusted the thrust a bit, and glanced at her canine partner, who was almost finished with house of cards, ready to put the final pair on top)

Kylie: Adjusting on the thrust. (She moved one of the levers a bit) Steady now. (moves lever up) Easing up! Steady!

(Courage placed the two cards on top right as the ship began to vibrate a bit. They were landing in this process and the House of Cards shook twice, so Courage yelp and quickly pulled the cards away to make sure they wouldn't collapse the other cards, but to his surprise and relief, they were still up)

Muriel: Gently does it.

(Kylie pulled the lever up, making the ship land and Courage's house of cards fall, except for the two cards the dog still held, as he frowned.

After landing on the moon, the four got out with the spare ladder they got and walked around the moon's surface. Surprisingly, they didn't need to worry about breathing. They stopped for a bit as Kylie got out a ball and kicked it high up into the air. Kylie held out her hand to catch the ball, as she waited for it to return, but due to the lack of gravity, it looked like it wasn't coming back. This made the girl and her Aunt and Uncle puzzled, before they and their dog continued onward to search for a spot to dine on the moon's "cheese".

Soon, they had found a spot and got out the picnic blanket, which they set upon the surface, with the baskets out)

Muriel: Nice drop of tea to get the taste buds going.
