The Girl Scout Chronicles
Chapter Seven: Whispers in the Dark
"Goodnight Electra, Purse, Aqua, Quick and C.B.!"
"Goodnight C.B., Electra, Purse, Quick, and Chibi!"
"Goodnight Purse_chan, Aqua, Chibi, C.B. and Quick!"
"Goodnight Master Electra, C.B., Chibi, Quick, and Aqua!"
"Goodnight Aqua, Chibi, Electra, Purse, and Quick!"
"CONFUSTICATE AND BE BOTHER YOU PEOPLE! GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!"
"Well that wasn't very nice! You should be more respectful, Quick! ESPECIALLY to Master Elok."
"Oh, Purse, don't lecture me! Just be quiet and go to sleep."
"MASTER ELOK!"
"OUCH!! Darn you and your electricity!"
"Would you all be quiet? I'm trying to go to sleep!"
"Fwa! It's so dark! C.B.! Where are you?"
"Right here, Aqua! Calm down!"
"Are we going to go to sleep or not?"
"Yes, of course. Good night."
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
"GOOD NIGHT!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
"PURSE_CHAN! WHAT'S WRONG?!"
"I think a bug crawled on me!"
"I think I'd better take out my pencil and paper and draw. No one is going to get any sleep at this rate."
"I'm cold!"
"Don't you have a blanket?"
"Yes. but that's acting as my pillow."
"Quick, why don't you use your big thick coat as your pillow? Then you'll have a blanket AND a pillow."
"That's a good idea C.B.!"
"I do occasionally have them."
"I miss Krupp."
"Oh come on Purse. don't you sleep in your own bed at home?"
"Well Chibi, to tell you the truth, Master Electra has such a big bed, that all of us Components don't have our own."
"That's awful!"
"Not really, Aqua. I mean, I share a basket in the corner with Krupp, Volta has the T.V., Wrench is on the windowsill, and Joule is shoved in the closet."
"This is the second time you've mentioned that big ole bed. Well if the bed is so big, why don't you just sleep with Electra?"
"Heh heh heh heh."
"QUICK!!"
"I didn't mean it that way! HONEST!"
"Well. it looks like SOMEONE was keeping a little secret. Who knew such a young girl could have such a sick mind?"
"C.B. you're lucky Aqua likes you and I respect you. or I would take that personal."
"Well, I, the Chibi One, Mistress of all Creation, say it is time for BED! GOOD NIGHT!"
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
"UUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNIIIIIICCCCCCOOOOOORRRRRNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!"
"LOS RUSTY!"
"BUTTERED TOAST!"
"MASTER ELECTRA!!! YOU AND THE OTHERS ARE SCARING ME!!!!"
"FOR THE LAST TIME, EVERYONE GO TO BED!!!!"
"Yes Chibi. Good night all, for the last time."
"HAHAHAHA! Good night!"
"Good night to all of you."
"Good night everyone."
"DAWN TAKE YOU ALL, AND BE STONE TO YOU!"
"Quick. if you don't stop quoting the Hobbit and say good night, I SWEAR."
"Sorry, good night all."
And at last, silence. Then, a flash of light, the sounds of laughter speaking, and slamming doors.
"DARN YOU YOUNG GIRL SCOUTS!!! DIEEEE!!!"
Electricity bolts, the sounds of screams, the slamming of the door, and silence.
"Electra. I never thought I would say this. but thanks."
"No problem Quick. Now, let's go to sleep."
"MASTER ELECTRA!"
"Pursie. no. don't even think it. go to sleep."
"Yes Master."
"Good night C.B._sama."
"Sweet dreams Aqua_chan."
"Good night Elok."
"Good night Chibi."
"Good night, one and all."
And then there was silence, until dawn.
"Goodnight Electra, Purse, Aqua, Quick and C.B.!"
"Goodnight C.B., Electra, Purse, Quick, and Chibi!"
"Goodnight Purse_chan, Aqua, Chibi, C.B. and Quick!"
"Goodnight Master Electra, C.B., Chibi, Quick, and Aqua!"
"Goodnight Aqua, Chibi, Electra, Purse, and Quick!"
"CONFUSTICATE AND BE BOTHER YOU PEOPLE! GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!"
