Well, it's now time for Scene 4 of Act 2 of this brand-new musical production story of mine. I just finished up with my haircut this morning at 9:12am (on Wednesday, April 11th, 2018), and now, my hair looks great! All I have to get over with now is my DREADED appointment for my upcoming physical at the doctor's on Friday, April 13th, 2018. I won't go into any detail about it for privacy reasons, but I will say that I'm NOT looking forward to it! I HATE going to see doctors ANY DAY! Anyways, without giving away any spoilers, this new scene will involve Miriam (Helga's mother), Big Bob (Helga's father), Grandpa Phil, Grandma Pookie, and even Abner! Yep, that cute pig is reappearing again! But that's all I'm going to reveal to you all until that scene happens. Well, what on Earth on we all sitting around and waiting for? Let's all begin Scene 4 of Act 2 of this brand-new musical production story of mine!
Narrator (enters stage right): Meanwhile back in the city of Hillwood, Big Bob, Helga's father, was inside of his store, "Big Dog's Beepers", putting together a piryamid display of beepers. As he did this, Phoebe's distress signal received by both him and Helga's mother, Miriam. (exits stage right)
Big Bob (stacks last beeper on top of pile; sarcastically): Thanks for the help on the new display, Miriam. (all of the beepers suddenly activate) Whoa!
Miriam (opens eyes and sits up on sofa): Huh? Oh, I'm up, I'm up. (puts feet back onto stage)
Big Bog (grabs one of the beepers and reads it's tiny strip screen): Beepers are freaking out. I don't get it. What does—What does "505-808" mean?
Miriam (walks over and takes a look): Oh, that's beeper code for "SOS, Bob." "SOS" means "help".
Big Bob: I know what "SOS" means, but who would want my help now, Miriam?
Miriam: Aren't;t he girls on a field trip?
Big Bob and Miriam (in unison; gasp): OLGA!
Miriam: And the other one. Who is it? Oh...um...He...Helga! Yeah, that's right! Helga is the other daughter!
Big Bob: Yeah, that one! Let's go see about how to help them both! (runs out of view to the right, exiting stage right)
Miriam: I'm right behind you, dear! (runs out of view to the right, also exiting stage right)
(The entire set changes to a setting that looks lie the outside of the "Sunset Arms Boarding House" from earlier in the show, complete with the front door and steps in the very center, 2 lampposts, a blue mailbox, a green street sign, and a random "Stop" sign. As the set transition completes, the Abner animatronic rolls into view on a skateboard, entering stage left...)
Narrator (enters stage right): Meanwhile over at the "Sunset Arms Boarding House", Grandpa Phil, and Grandma Pookie were about to also get an distress warning. Not be a beeper SOS signal however, but by believe it or not, Arnold's pet pig, Abner. (exits stage right)
Abner (rolls up to the steps of the boarding house and spits a rubber rock at the doorbell, making it ring; snorts)
Grandpa Phil: All right, all right. Keep your pants on. (opens the door) Abner!?
Abner (desperate squeal)
Grandpa Phil: How in the Toledo did YOU get here?
Grandma Pookie (appears in doorway): Oh, my! W-W-What happened?
Abner (squeals)
Grandpa Phil You jumped off the boat after river pirates attacked Arnold's boat!?
Abner (squeals)
Grandma Pookie: You swam down the river, being pursued by a water snake!?
Abner (squeals)
Grandma Pookie: You stowed away on a boat with some random bandits?!
Abner (squeals)
Grandma Pookie (gasps): No way!
Abner (squeals): And then you stowed away on a truck heading to the airport!?
Grandma Pookie: There's no way that happened!
Abner (squeals)
Grandma Pookie: Oh my stars, there's no way you latched onto a plane's front landing gear wheel and then climbed up into the main cabin!
Abner (squeals)
Grandpa Phil: You then found an empty first class seat and enjoyed a free shrimp cocktail!? They serve shrimp cocktail in first class!?
Abner (squeals and nods)
Grandma Pookie: And then what?
Abner (squeals)
Grandma Pookie: And then you came here!?
Abner (nods)
Grandma Pookie: Is that why you came all the way here from San Lorenzo? To tell us about shrimp cocktails!?
Grandpa Phil: No, it's about Arnold's! He's telling us that Arnold is in trouble!
Grandma Pookie: But how can that be!? He's all the way in San Lorenzo!
Abner (squeals some more)
Grandma Pookie (gasps): Lasombra is the river pirates that chased Arnold's boat!? (runs back into the house set)
Abner (nods as Grandpa Phil opens his mouth in shock)
Grandma Pookie (comes back out, wearing a military outfit, and runs toward the right): Well, what are you waiting for, an invitation? We got to rescue Arnold! (exits stage right)
Grandpa Phil (runs toward the right of the stage with Grandma Pookie): I'm right behind you, dear! (exits stage right)
(Sounds of a car driving away are heard in the background. As the sound then die down, the entire set changes to look like the airport runway area outside the airport's departure boarding ramp gate area. As the set transition is completed, Grandpa Phil, Grandma Pookie, and the Abner animatronic all enter stage right. Grandpa is holding up a cardboard sign with the words "San Lorenzo" written on it...)
Narrator (enters stage left): So with a need to rescue Arnold, Grandpa Phil and Grandma Pookie deiced to go to the runway of the airport in an attempt to catch any plane they could in order to get to San Lorenzo. However, no plane would pull over for them. (enters stage right)
Grandpa Phil (groans): So far, we've been here for 30 minutes, and NO AIRPLANE has even BOTHERED to pull up for us! (a fake stocking leg unfolds and dangles underneath the sign) Wha...?!
Grandma Pookie: Ah? Ha ha ha, yeah!
Grandpa Phil: Oh, Pookie, not the fake hitchhiking leg!
Grandma Pookie: Oh, stick-in-the-mud!
(Suddenly, a random Hummer car appears on the left and stops. The front doors of the car opens up, and Big Bob and Miriam steps out...)
Big Bob (walks over to where Grandpa Phil and Grandma Pookie are standing): Phil? Gertrude? You guys are still alive?
Grandpa Phil: Imagine that!
Big Bob: What in the "Big Bob's Beepers" are you doing here?!
Grandpa: Trying to get to San Lorenzo!
Miriam (walks over to where Grandpa Phil and Grandma Pookie are standing): Hey, us to!
Big Bob: Well, you need a ride? We got a plane!
Grandpa Phil (drops sign onto floor): Really?! Well, bring us to it!
Big Bob: Follow Miriam and I! It's a couple of feet away from here...(begins to walk over to the right)
Miriam: Wait for me, dear! (follows Big Bob over to the right)
Abner (squeals and rollers over to the right)
(As Big Bob and Miriam both exit stage right, the Abner animatronic, Grandpa Phil and Grandma Pookie also exit stage right as well. The entire set then changes to a setting that looks like the inside of a rusty and moldy airplane hangar. In the center of this new setting is a run-down old plane with the words "Rent Me" on the left wing. As the set transition ends, Miriam, Big Bob, Grandpa Phil and Grandma Pookie all enter stage right...)
Grandpa Phil: Uh, are you sure that thing is still...um...flyable!?
Abner (squeals)
Big Bob: Of course it is! What? My beeper business hasn't been doing very well, so this is all I can afford!
Miriam: Trust me, old sir. It still flies even though its very old.
Grandpa Phil: Fine, I trust you...(shudders)
Grandma Pookie: It doesn't matter! We need to get to Arnold and we need to get there now!
(Everyone including Abner gets into the plane and then everyone closes up the doors of the plane. The propellers spin around very fast, and the plane disappears from view on the right. As this happens, the set then changes once again, this time to a setting to look like another random area of the jungle of San Lorenzo with a massive waterfall in the center. Instead of actual running water, long blue streamers are in place, to make it look like water is running down the waterfall...)
And that was Scene 4 of Act 2 of this brand-new musical production story of mine. It looks like Grandpa Phil, Grandma Pookie, Big Bob, and Miriam are now officially on their way to San Lorenzo using a rickety-looking old plane. Let's all hope that they can make it over there like that. It'll be a very tough flight, but let's all hope for the best. Scene 5 of this musical production story of mine will involve Arnold, Gerald, and Helgs going through several Indiana Jones-styled booby traps before finally reaching the entry point of the hidden city where the so called "Green Eyed People" live secretly from the public of San Lorenzo. However, right before they find the Green Eyed People, something surprising will happen at the very last second. What is that event, you ask? Well, that is all going to be revealed when that time comes around. Well, it's time for us all to move on Scene 5 of Act 2 of this brand-new musical production story of mine!
