Day 4 - Thursday
Linus sighs happily "I hope Lucy won't find out about making my bed sheet a substitute for my blanket…"
"NO SUBSTITUTES!" Lucy yells. Everybody except for her flips in the air simultaneously
"Let's go have breakfast!" Rerun calls out.
Everybody ran into the kitchen, discovering the power was out.
Lucy groaned. "Great. No fashion shows…"
"Oh thank god! I hate that show!" Linus exclaimed excitedly
Lucy shot him a dirty look, nothing else.
"We should really have breakfast now, it's almost 9am." warned Charlie Brown
"Yeah, big brother" added Sally
Lucy ran over to kitchen bench and started spreading the jam on her toast. "There's no more jam" she smiled
"AAUGH!" everybody else yelled
"Well, I guess we'll have to have plain toast then…" Charlie Brown sighed
Blegh!
Lucy smirked "Blockheads…"
Linus pushed away his toast after one bite. "Toast isn't the same without jam"
"I agree, sweet babboooooooooooo" Sally gushed
"I AM NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO!"
"Oh brother" Charlie Brown sighed
"SNOOPY!" Rerun called out then hugged the beagle. "MOM CAN WE GET A DOG?"
Wah Wahhhhh (No, Rerun, no.)
"But why? I promise to take care of it!"
"We're done eating now, mother!" Lucy called out
Linus dashed to the closet door handle and wrestled with it for 3 hours straight.
"GRRRRRRR! I WANT MY BLANKET! I NEED MY BLANKET!"
Charlie Brown looked at Lucy. "I think you've gone too far with this anti blanket business, Lucy."
"I'm not even done yet! Our blanket hating - grandmother is coming over today! She'll be glad he broke the habit"
Those exact words got Linus startled. "TODAY?! OH NO!"
"She'll be coming in 2 hours. At EXACTLY 2 pm, you blockhead!"
"Oh good grief…." Linus sighed
Sally came over to them. "Is my sweet babboo alright?"
"I'd rather for you to NOT call him your sweet babboo… he's kind of surprised at the moment just because I told him our blanket – hating grandmother is coming soon." Lucy announced
Snoopy comes along, opens the closet door perfectly and throws Linus' blanket over his head.
"OH SNOOPY! YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! THANK YOU!" Linus said as he cried of joy
Lucy stormed in. "WHATS GOING ON HERE
"Let's go, Linus…" Charlie Brown says
The boys walked into the bedroom.
"I don't know what to do, Charlie Brown! Don't forget Lucy is on her team too!"
"Just wear it as a bowtie, Linus. She won't know the difference." replies Charlie Brown
"Thank you, Charlie Brown…"
DING DONG!
"Good grief, Charlie Brown! She's here!"
"LINUS!" Lucy yells. "SHE'S HERE! GREET HER!"
Linus rushes to the door. "H-H-Hi grandma… how've you been?"
Wahhh Wahh Wah Wahhhhhh Wah
"OKAY, GRANDMA! I'LL GIVE UP MY BLANKET IF YOU'LL GIVE UP SMOKING!"
Linus ran back to Charlie Brown smiling. "I TOLD HER THAT I'LL GIVE UP MY BLANKET IF SHE GIVES UP SMOKING!"
Lucy walks in the room smiling and arms crossed. "Well, I've got news for you, little brother!"
"What?"
"SHE'S GIVING UP SMOKING! SHE ADMITTED IT!"
"Oh no!"
"Oh yes! A deal is a deal! Lucy continues. Hand over that stupid blanket NOW!"
Linus sighed as he handed over the blanket. "I hope the A.M.A appreciates this…"
Lucy walked off with the blanket. "Now, that stupid beagle better not get it this time…"
Linus collapsed onto the ground. "Are you alright, Linus?" Charlie Brown asked.
He then grabbed onto Charlie Brown's shirt. "Sorry I wasn't much help…"
"You are now." Linus replied smiling
Lucy walks by. "NO SUBTITUTES!"
Linus sighs.
"C'mon, Linus. Lunch can't be that bad" Charlie Brown says calmly
"Hotdogs. Continues Sally. mustard or ketchup? Which will it be?"
"Ketchup for us then" Rerun said
"EH ERM? I WANT MUSTARD!" Lucy complained
Charlie Brown sighed. "Good grief…this will be a long 3 days…"
"Looks like grandma just left, Linus" said Rerun
"Hooray for that"
"Well, do you guys want to play 'tag'?" asked Charlie Brown
"Why not?" Answered Lucy
"Yeah" said Linus and Rerun
"Okay!" answered Sally
"Is Snoopy playing?" asked Rerun
Snoopy ran up and started jumping around. "I'm assuming that's a 'yes'" said Charlie Brown
"Who's 'it'?" asked Sally
"We'll make Snoopy 'it'" replied Lucy
The six of them started running around the front yard
"COME AND CHASE US SNOOPY!" yelled Rerun
"GET ME YOU STUPID BEAGLE!" Lucy laughed
At that very moment, Snoopy tagged Lucy
"I DIDN'T MEAN THAT, YOU DUMB DOG! DON'T YOU KNOW SARCASM WHEN YOU HEAR IT?" Lucy cried
"Too bad! You're it!" Linus commented then laughed
"OH I'LL GET YOU!" Lucy yelled then tried to tag Linus but failed
"Too fast for you?" Linus joked while running at a slower pace
"YOU BLOCKHEAD!" Lucy yelled which caused Linus to speed up
"HA! Got ya' Sally Brown!" Lucy exclaimed
"Your it, big brother!"
Charlie Brown stopped. "Oh good grief…"
Snoopy laughs then points at a familiar girl with freckles and sandals.
Lucy stops running and tries to get the attention of the girl walking by.
"HEY PATRICIA!" Lucy shouts
She turns around. "Oh hey Lucille!"
Lucy smiles. "Would you like to join our game of tag?"
Peppermint Patty stepped over the fence and smiled. "Of course, Lucille."
"I'm it." Says Charlie Brown
"Okay, Chuck."
Just as they were about to start, three other familiar faces stepped over the face.
"Oh hi, Marcie, Schroeder and Franklin" Sally says
"Would you like to join us?" asked Rerun
"We'd love to!" replied Marcie happily
"C-C-Charlie B-Brown is 'i-i-i-it'" said Linus, shaking
"What's up with him?" asked Franklin
"It's just that Lucy took his blanket away from him" said Sally
"Oh." Said Schroeder
"WELL? LETS CONTINUE THE GAME!" Lucy called out
"Come and tag me, Charles!" Marcie exclaimed then laughed
He chuckled. "Oh I'll get one of you!"
"Ha! That blockhead can't tag!" Lucy exclaimed
"Maybe he can, Lucy. He just tagged you!" Marcie warned
"AAUGH!" Lucy complained "I'LL GET YOU SWEETIE!"
"BLEGH!" Schroeder cried
"You missed!" Franklin called out
"AHA! GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID BEAGLE! TAGGED YA'!"\
"Snoops is a fast runner… but he'll never be able to catch up to me!" Peppermint Patty laughed
"OW!" cried Charlie Brown
Everybody stopped running and approached the under-dog
"What's the matter, Charlie Brown?" Schroeder asked
"What happened, Charles?" Marcie asked
"Are you okay, big brother?" Sally asked
"Snoopy booted me so hard" Charlie Brown replied, looking down
"Snoop, apologise to Chuck" Peppermint Patty asked calmly then smiled
Snoopy kisses his faithful owner on the nose. "Thanks, Snoopy!"
"I think it's dinnertime" Rerun says
"Well, we'll see you another time" Marcie says as the other children leave the house.
"These Fish and Chips are really good, Ms. Van Pelt!" says Sally happily
"I agree" says Rerun
"AAUGH!" Lucy yells
"What NOW?" Linus frowns
"THIS FISH IS TOO FISHY!" Lucy complains then pushes the plate away from her
Charlie Brown rolls his eyes. 'It's supposed to be fishy"
"Not THAT fishy!"
"Good grief…"
"Well, we're all done now, mother!" Linus called out… "Time for bed…"
Linus smiles Ahhhh… a substitute for my blanket: my bed sheets…
"NO SUBTITUTES!" Lucy yells
Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Sally and Rerun enter the room and go into their beds.
"Goodnight everybody." Says Sally
"Night!"
"GET THAT STUPID SUPPER DISH OFF YOUR HEAD, STUPID BEAGLE!"
Don't we all need some extra security?
