Hi followers, now is the time to end this chapter for now -EixheirZamora

He is filming it with his camera while Cricket is on the roof with a carton of eggs

Cricket: Remy, over here!

Remy: Hmm?

Cricket: Point that camera at me!

The camera goes to him

Cricket: All right, here goes! First boy to ever juggle a dozen eggs! This one's for the record book, so do not miss it this time. I am runnin' outta eggs.

He shows several eggs broke all over the grass

Remy: Okay! I'm ready!

He starts to juggle the egg

Cricket: Jugglin' egg one. Jugglin' two eggs. I'm goin' for three. Can I, do it?

As predicted, Remy suddenly focuses the camera on a squirrel tugging on his pant leg

Remy: Oh...oh! Ha-ha...hello, little guy! Do you need something? Aww...I love you, too!

Cricket: Three eggs! Egg number four! Remy, are you gettin' this? No, no, Remy!!

The egg splats are heard

Cricket: AAAH!

He focuses the camera back at Cricket, covered in egg splats from the failed attempt

Remy: Oh...sorry, Cricket. I got distracted again.

He hops down

Cricket: Well, at least Tilly and Baraka saw it. Right, Tilly and Baraka?

They turn around

Tilly: Huh? Oh, sorry. We were lookin' at a cloud.

They ominously

Tilly: And they were lookin' at us.

They show a cloud picture above them; it is in the shape of a smiley face emoji

Cricket: What's the point of doin' somethin' cool if no one sees it?!

Baraka: Well, sometimes it's not all about you, Cricket. Sometimes, it's about a dang, creepy cloud watching your every move...

They look at the cloud picture again

Cricket: Is it really so hard for a guy to get a little bit of attention around here?!

Bill: Kids, c'mere! I got somethin' excitin' to show ya!

Cricket: What's goin' on, Dad? Is that pig doin' that weird thing again, or--

All suddenly stop where they are and gasp; pull back to show Bill measuring an oversized watermelon at least twenty times bigger than its normal size

Bill: Oh-ho... that's the size of a winner.

Cricket: Wow!

Baraka: Cool!

Tilly: Oh, my gosh.

Remy: Mr. Green!

Bill: Pretty impressive, huh?

Cricket and Tilly and Baraka and Remy: Wow!

Tilly: Incredible!

Baraka: Amazing!

Remy: Where'd you get it?

Bill: I didn't get it, I grew it! With dirt, and water, and my heart.

Cricket and Tilly and Baraka and Remy: Awww!

Cricket: Dad's heart melon!

Tilly: I can almost hear it beatin'.
