CHAPTER FIVE

FEBRUARY 13, 1959

"Oh dear what happened?" School Nurse McDonough asked as Coach Maguire carried an unconscious William Gilligan into her office.

"It looked like Carol Rodgers was trying to flirt with Will and he knocked himself out! Again!" Coach Maguire replied as he laid Will down on the cot as his friends Walter and one of the Flanagan boys rushed in. The Flanagan boy rolled his eyes.

"The coast is clear Carey Grant!" The Flanagan boy replied and Will opened his eyes.

"You were playing possum again weren't you?" Nurse McDonough asked knowingly.

"Yeah!" Will replied getting up from the cot as Coach Maguire sighed and shook his head.

"Will I know you loved Miss Flanagan but don't you think you should try meeting someone else!" Coach Maguire asked.

"I don't know!" Will replied shrugging his shoulders.

"Just get back to class Carey Grant!" Nurse McDonough replied sighing as the boys left the office.

"So girls what do you want to do today?" Will asked 4 year old twins Flora and Fawna Flanagan.

Dr. Flanagan took Fatso, Farrell, and Farren to look at colleges and Mrs. Flanagan took Flynn and Felix clothes shopping so Flora and Fawna were spending the day with Ellen and Will Gilligan.

"Be puppet man!" They both replied in unison.

"You heard them Puppet Master!" Ellen replied as she cleared the table after lunch.

"What story do you want to hear?" Gilligan asked as he set up the make shift theatre.

"Round world in 80 days!" The girls replied in unison.

Gilligan smiled, ducked down behind the theater, cupped his hand and whistled like a train.

"Awright! It's time ter be on aaahr way then. Sorted mate." Will replied in a Cockney English accent holding up a puppet.

Ellen watched on in awe as Will perform the play in several accents.

"Awright! Congratulashuns you've won. Sorted mate." Will replied in his Cockney English accent making his puppet bow.

"Yay!" The twins exclaimed as they clapped.

"What story do you want to see next!" Will asked.

"Wizard of Oz!" The girls said in unison.

"All right then!" Will replied chuckling as he ducked down again.

"All right it's nap time!" Ellen replied a couple of hours later.

"Play a song!" The twins replied in unison.

"All right what do you want to hear?" Will replied as he sat down at the piano.

"Monkey and weasel!" They both replied.

"All right!" Will replied as he began to play. "'All around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel!'"

"What next?" Will asked when he finished.

"Loopy Doo jingle!" They both said naming the catchy cereal ad they just heard this morning and surprise Ellen by playing the tune.

"Didn't we just hear it for the first time this morning?" Ellen asked bewildered.

"Yeah!" Will replied blushing.

"Would you look at that?" Ellen replied pointing at the couch where the girls had fallen asleep.

"Great job Piano Puppet Master Man!" Ellen whispered as she covered the girls with a blanket.
