I really love these two (or just one) shows. They just never explained what happened to the two children in the first show. Here is my answer.
"man in the moon, I know my dream of a Paris romance is nothing more than that, but I... oh my God, is that Kirby Scrawgins?!" Dorthy Jane Torkleson stared agape out her window, "how'd he find me all the way out here? How did he get here?" she dashes down the stairs and throws open the door, "kirby! Is that you?"
the young curly blond boy dashes through the Seattle rain to the Morgan's front porch, falling to his knees, "Dorthy Jane, my lost love, I have found you!"
"how!? Tell me after you dry off, get in here." she pulls him inside.
After he finished soaking three towels and the living room rug he tells his story, "after we settled our issues, I felt lonely for awhile and I tried to love other girls but it wasn't the same. I was hoping that you would have realized your love for me and felt the same way."
"oh, Kirby."
"well, like, yeah. Of course heather would say that. She did? no." Molly Morgan walks down the stairs, talking on the phone and eating a fudge pop. She pauses, "I'll call you back. Dorthy Jane let a scarecrow in the house. Yeah, bye." she hangs up. "who is this and why is it here?"
"be nice Molly, this is Kirby Scrawgins and he came all this way from Oklahoma to tell me that he's still delusional."
"really? About what?"
"I have never been more sane. I LOVE YOU DORTHY JANE!"
Molly cracks up, "you two make a great couple."
"we do not!"
a male voice laughs hysterically from the closet, Gregory Morgan comes out holding a video camera. "this is great! I'm getting an A+ in social studies, guaranteed."
"how much did you record?"
"all of it."
Dorthy Jane jumps up and knocks the camera from his hands.
Kirby runs over and pops out the tape, running away with it. Molly laughs at the scene. They run into the kitchen where Millicent Torkleson is making dinner. "Kirby?"
he throws it to Gregory as Dorthy Jane catches her hands over his throat.
"Dorthy Jane! Let that boy go! You know better."
she lets go, "sorry mama."
"say that to him."
"sorry kirby." she dashes out and starts strangling Greg. He tosses it to Molly and DJ lets go.
"hmm, who wants this more?"
"me!"
"no, I do!"
she licks her fudge pop, "let's see, what's it worth?"
"I'll give you my entire allowance for a week!"
"I'll pass any hot guys who ask me out to you!"
"I'll buy you those tickets you've been looking for!
"I'll play hooky from chicken in a hat so you can be alone with the boss."
Molly thinks and agrees, "deal." she stuffs the fudge pop into the tape and hands it over.
"my homework..." Greg whimpers.
DJ walks triumphantly into the kitchen and sees Kirby giving her shocked mother some water.
"what's wrong mother?"
"get Chuckie Lee and Mary Sue in here please."
"yes mama." she runs and returns with siblings in tow. "what is it?"
"your father... is in town, and wants to talk to me."
"what about, mama?" Mary Sue asks.
"I don't know sweetheart."
"do you think he doesn't want Ruth Ann and Steven Floyd anymore?" Chuckie Lee asks.
"I don't know."
"who are they?" Gregory asks.
"I need to lay down. Dorthy Jane, you explain." she rises and heads upstairs.
Once everyone was seated she told the disheartening tale, "when daddy and mama got a divorce we were already struggling to pay the mortgage, we took in a boarder named Hodges and after a year with us he died of a heart attack. We tightened our belts but it still wasn't enough. Daddy asked mama if he could take custody of some of us and she let him. We still lost the mortgage and came to live here."
"I miss boarder Hodges." Mary Sue laments.
"you'll like Ruth Ann and Steven Floyd. They're our siblings." Chuckie Lee states.
"you'll get to know them when they get here." Dorthy Jane comments. "when do they get here, Kirby?"
"tomorrow."
part two, coming soon. Please review.
