(Penniless Princess)

"For the Record…"

"CUT!" Bob declared.

After that, everyone sighed and got back to their normal selves. Bob was just behind the cameraman, sitting on the director's chair.

"That's a wrap for this scene, folks! Great job!" Bob exclaimed.

"Now he's just saying that." Jimmy said.

"I-I wasn't kidding." Bob said plainly.

"Oh. Well then, thanks!"

Most of the cast prepared for the next scene. Some relaxed a bit from their roles like Sara Rhubarb. Larry, who played as Captain Crewe in this episode, approached Sara and smiled.

"You did a really great job there, Sara!" Larry said.

"Thanks, Larry. So how's Harry, your nephew?" Sara smiled.

"Missing Katherine. How's your sister?"

"The same. I just wish she'd film with me one day, you know?"

"Yeah. It'll be cool to have teenagers here. By the way, does this suit make me look fat?"

Sara stared at him. "Uh… no. Not really."

"Oh, good. Because when she sees me in this suit, I'm doomed!"

"Who 'she'?" Sara asked mischievously.

"Promise you won't tell?" Larry begged.

"I promise."

Larry leaned in closer to Sara's ear. "Petunia."

"WHAT!" Sara exclaimed.

"Shh! Someone might hear you,"

"Sorry. It's just that I always thought you looked so cute together." Sara giggled.

"R-really?"

"Absolutely,"

"Well thanks for listening, Sara." Larry said as he took off.

"You're welcome."

Sara waited for Larry to disappear from her sight. When he was gone, Sara laughed. She was standing on the chest that was laid up near the stairs of the "Miss Minchin School for Lovely Little Ladies". Behind the chest popped out Libby and Bob, laughing with Sara.

"Did ya get that, Bob?" Libby asked.

"Yup," Bob proudly waved his cellphone, showing that he recorded the whole thing.

"He still won't admit it to this day!" Sara giggled.

"Hey, Bob, why didn't you make Petunia and Larry together in this episode? They're super cute and I wanna picture of them ASAP!" Libby chittered.

"Well, we didn't have any roles available for Petunia as Larry's love interest. Second, we kind of want to take a break with all their romances for the past few episodes. Third, it was a little scheme we set up for them." Bob smiled.

"What?" Libby and Sara asked, befuddled.

"We made an experiment on what would happen and what would they say if we gave them a break from their love interest roles. It took a few weeks until the results came out."

"And?" Sara inquired.

"What we got from Larry was this,"

Bob let the girls hear Larry's recording.

"C'mon, Larry. Don't give up the role. Sara needs you to play as her father because you make a great one!" Bob's voice said.

"I don't know, Bob. I think I'm just so used to having Petunia by my side during filming." Larry's sad voice explained.

The girls' eyes widened. They gave Bob an "is-that-serious" look. Bob simply held his chuckle and nodded. He pressed some buttons on his cellphone, finding the right file.

"And this is what we got from Petunia," Bob said while finding the recording.

"How can you get all that? You don't talk much to Petunia about her love life." Libby wondered.

"I asked for a favor from a certain blueberry." Bob replied simply.

Sara and Libby looked at each other. Did Bob even hear what he just said? Was there something going on between the two? But not wanting to be disturbed by their little snooping around of Larry and Petunia, they decided to keep the question nullified.

"What'z wrong, Petunia, dear? You look so deprezzed." Madame Blue's voice asked.

"I just miss my roles of being Larry's love interest. That's all." Petunia answered tiredly.

Sara and Libby gasped in sheer delight. They squealed and jumped up and down in the information they got and laughed again. Bob joined in their laughter. He was glad these two little girls understood what this meant. He was also happy when the Veggie kids filming with them. He was quite fond of kids.

"I should've seen that coming!" Libby snickered.

They continued on laughing until they can't catch their breath.

"But, seriously, though. We still have to zip our whole shut. I promised Larry." Sara said.

"There's nothing really to keep. Any information about Larry and Petunia goes out quickly. This started in a simple observation in their first filming: 'Duke and the Great Pie War'." Bob clarified.

"What 'observation'?" Libby questioned.

"I'll tell you later. Right now, you've got to prepare for the next scene." Bob reminded.

"It's all weird when Ms. Achmetha plays her character, Ms. Minchin." Libby shuddered.

Just then, the horse whinnies rang to their ears out of nowhere.

"Where did all those come from? They were there every time we said the name in practices." Sara observed.

"It's been going on forever. Larry and I also heard it when we were having our book report in college. To this day, I still don't know where this is all coming from." Bob said.

Sara headed out to her dressing room, wondering where the sound came from but quickly disturbed by the thought of Larry and Petunia.
