Twelve Months Later
Walnut Grove circa 1887 at the large Boarding House of Laura and Almanzo Wilder
It has been 3 months since Sylvia Webb Ingalls had her new baby boy, Albert Ingalls Jr. Albert and Sylvia are sitting in the Living Room playing with the youngest member of the happy Ingalls family as Laura and Almanzo come in to join them after putting their children Rose and Royal to bed.
Albert had already put Sarah Olivia Ingalls to bed.
Laura sits down beside of Sylvia who is holding Albert Jr. and starts to play with his feet and says to Sylvia, "These booties we made a few months ago while Albert and Almanzo were out helping the Indians and the sick Chief are starting to get a little small."
Sylvia replies, "Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Do you think you and I could make some new ones?"
Laura answers, "Sure, I did have a good time making these with you and spending time with my sister-in-law."
Both Laura and Sylvia looks at Albert Jr. in a playful way saying while rubbing his feet, "New baby booties for little Albert Jr."
Albert Jr. coos as to agree.
Albert, Sylvia's husband turns to his wife, "Sylvia, I almost forgot to tell you Almanzo and I are going to be running a little errand for Mr. Hanson to pick up some supplies in Sleepyeye Friday morning and we'll be gone throughout the weekend."
Almanzo then says, "Yeah, I almost forgot to tell you also. Now you girls will be okay by yourselves a few days right?"
Laura answers, "Sure we will but we will miss you." Then she gives Almanzo a kiss.
Sylvia says, Yes, we sure will miss you." Sylvia than gives Albert a kiss.
Sylvia then says, "Laura, that gives me an idea we can make the baby booties while our men are out again."
"Sounds good," Laura replies.
Little Albert Jr. continues to coo, as the four happily look at him.
Meanwhile outside of Sleepyeye there is some outlaws planning to rob the Bank in Sleepyeye on Friday afternoon. "Ok Johnny, when do we hit it?" Jed asks.
"Friday afternoon, the stage will be in to drop off the main payroll." Johnny replies.
"How much?"Jed asks
"Over $25.000," Johnny answers.
"Beautiful! If we get this right it will be an easy job. We'll be stinkin rich!" Jed replies.
Two other outlaws Dan and Candy nod in agreement.
"You fellas come into town quiet on the day." Johnny continues. "That way no one will be suspicious."
"I can't wait." Jed says.
"Ok," replies Candy, "Dan and I will be there about 1pm."
"GREAT!" Johnny says.
Friday morning comes along, Laura and Sylvia, Almanzo and Albert just finished breakfast as Albert says, "We need to get on the road to Sleepyeye."
Sylvia says to Albert, "I love you," and hands him a bag of sandwiches for the road.
"I love you too Sylvia," Albert they both share a kiss.
Laura also hands Almanzo a bag of sandwiches for the road and shares a kiss as Laura says, "I love you Manly, be safe out there."
Almanzo answers, "I love you too, Beth. We should be back Monday for supper."
Albert and Almanzo head on their way to Sleepyeye.
Meanwhile the outlaws are getting prepared to go into Sleepyeye to rob the Bank as Johnny says, "Today is the day!"
"Yep," Jed replies.
"Let's go." Johnny says.
The four outlaws nudge their horses in the direction of sleepyeye towards the beginning of their upcoming bank holdup.
