Telephone Conversation

Ring. Ring.

Plucky: H-hello?

Shirley: Plucky! Like, where were you?! I tried calling you twice already. You, like, aren't going to believe what Babs just told me.

Plucky: S-sorry…I couldn't g-get to the p-phone.

Shirley: Are you, like, okay? You sound really frightened or something?

Plucky: That dork? Yeah, I know him, and if you're going to tell me how he made the chemistry lab explode today, I've already heard this story.

Plucky: What?!

Shirley: You heard me. He is a girl.

Plucky: No way!

Shirley: Way!

Plucky: How'd you know?

Shirley: I found out from Babs.

Plucky: How'd she find out?!

Shirley: From Buster.

Plucky: What?! He told both of you and didn't tell me! I'm going to talk to that rabbit tomorrow and get to the bottom of this!

Shirley: Plucky…
