Seymour was quickly making his way back to Mushnik's shop with the strange plant, eager to show it off to Mushnik and Audrey. He soon arrived in the section of Skid Row were the shop was located. As he walked onto the block where the shop was, he walked into a group of three girls who he always saw hanging around this area of town.
"Hey, Seymour. How you doing today, kid?" one of the girls asked him.
"Oh, just fine Crystal. Just fine. And yourself?" he asked her.
"Me and my girls here are doing okay." Crystal said. Then she noticed the plant Seymour was carrying and exclaimed "Hey, what's this you've got here?"
"This is a new plant I bought in the wholesale flower district today." Seymour said proudly.
"A brand new plant? You hear that, Chiffon and Ronnette? The kid's got a brand new plant." Crystal said to the other two girls who were with her.
"You know what type of plant this is?" Ronnette asked.
"I'm not sure, I'll have to look it up in my books." Seymour said.
"You go do that, kid. I'm sure whatever type of plant that is, it'll be very interesting." Chiffon said.
"Allright, girls. I'll see you around later." Seymour told them and stepped inside the shop.
Not surprisingly, there were no customers in sight that day. In fact, Mushnik wasn't even in the shop at the moment. Audrey was the only one in there other than Seymour and she was leaning against the check out counter, looking completely bored out of her mind. But when she looked up and saw Seymour enter the shop, she immediately smiled as she was always happy to see her friend.
"Oh hi, Seymour. How are you today?" she asked him.
"Just great, Audrey. Hey, guess what I found today?" he asked.
"What did you find?" she asked him.
"This right here." Seymour said to Audrey and held out the plant he found in the flower district.
"Oh my! What type of plant is that?" Audrey asked with amazement.
"I have no idea, but I'm gonna look in my books to see if I can find out. Hey, where's Mushnik? I want to show this plant to him." Seymour said.
"Oh, he ran home for a minute. He'll be back soon." Audrey said.
"Never mind then, I guess I can take care of this plant for a while until I feel I can show it to him." Seymour said.
"Ok Seymour, I hope Mr. Mushnik likes this plant." Audrey said.
"I do too." Seymour said as he ran down the stairs to his basement to start his research. Little did anyone know that this strange and interesting plant that he had discovered would lead them on a very extraordinary adventure.
