PART SIX: EPISODES 16-18
From "Episode 16: Sally's Got a Boyfriend"
THE SETUP: Charlie Brown and Linus talk to Schroeder
During a break from building the treehouse, Charlie Brown and Linus decided to talk to Schroeder about how nice he was being to Lucy, especially when he hadn't been so nice in the past.
"Oh hey guys," said Schroeder seeing his two friends.
"Hey Schroeder," said Charlie Brown.
"Sorry for saying this, but we couldn't help but notice how nice you were being to my sister," said Linus. "We were wondering if you were okay."
"I'm fine, guys, really," assured Schroeder.
"We were just concerned because given the history between you and Lucy wasn't so nice," Charlie Brown stated.
"Well she had been through a lot since her friend was killed," Schroeder continued. "I decided to put my pride aside for once and try to be a bit nicer to Lucy."
"Fair enough," said Linus. "We were just wondering what was going on. We didn't mean to pry or anything."
"It's okay, Linus," said Schroeder with a smile. "I know you and Charlie Brown were just curious."
"Yeah, it just seemed peculiar how you were acting towards her," Charlie Brown finished. And the three boys got back up to continue working.
THE SETUP: Peppermint Patty and Marcie are at the bus stop sitting on a bench and feeling sick
Peppermint Patty and Marcie waited for the bus to come get them. Both were spent from eating all day. Both of their bellies were poking out from all of the food they ate. Marcie, in particular, was groaning in pain from all of the food she consumed.
"Sir, I think I'm going to skip eating anything tomorrow and just stay in digesting what we ate today," said Marcie, in pain.
"I know what you mean, Marcie," agreed Patty. "I'm sorry about this. Maybe we overdid it."
"There's no *belch* maybe to it, sir."
"Stop calling me *BUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRP!* 'sir'!" And the two girls continued to groan in pain.
From "Episode 17: Play Ball!"
THE SETUP: Extension to the ending of the episode where Linus and Charlie Brown talk about Joe Shlabotnik
A few hours after the news report about Joe, Charlie Brown and Linus were at the wall discussing the trust Charlie had received from Joe.
"Who would have thought you'd earn a trust fund this early, Charlie Brown," said Linus.
"I know," agreed Charlie Brown. "Joe may have not been the greatest of players, I can even admit that, but he was always smart with his money. I guess since I was his biggest fan, and because he had no other family, I was the most logical choice for a trust fund set up in my name."
"What do you plan to do with the money once you get it?"
"Maybe use it to go to college when I graduate high school. It should earn a lot of interest from there. Plus your sister can't get her hands on it for her booth, either, because I can't even touch it until I turn 18."
"You'll get no argument from me on that one." And the two boys looked out and gather their thoughts as they watched the day go by, with Joe Shlabotnik not too far from their minds.
From "Episode 18: Getting Ready for Summer"
THE SETUP: Linus and Rerun hang out in the treehouse talking about Linus and Eudora going to camp
Linus and Rerun were hanging out in the treehouse together. Lucy and Schroeder were at Ace's getting some ice cream. They were discussing Linus and Eudora's going to Camp Remote.
"Do you think you'll run into those same bullies you ran into before?" asked Rerun.
"It's possible, Rerun," said Linus. "We're hoping that don't happen, though."
"But what if they do come?"
"Then we'll go from there."
"I'm glad I'm not going to that awful place. Sally told me that she had a miserable time there."
"Well Sally tends to hate everything involving camp in general, but this one she really had a miserable time. The bullies were just one of many annoyances for her. The only time she wasn't griping was when she was flirting with me, much to MY annoyance. But those days are thankfully over, now that I have Eudora and Sally has Michael."
"How was Lucy over there?"
"Crabby, so thankfully in her case, no different." And the two brothers continued to talk about the experience at Camp Remote. Everyone who was going was hoping that things would go smoother than last time.
