After Henry and Stella sing an unbirthday song to Ichinose she claps and likes the song and they are happy she liked it they ask where she came from until something happened
Oh, that was lovely! Ichinose said
And uh, and now my dear, hehe, uh... Henry said
What? Ichinose said
You were saying that you would like to sea... Henry said
What? Ichinose said
Hold on. Henry said
Henry dipped his teacup plate into his tea and took a bite out of it
Whoa. Ichinose said
What? Henry said
You took a bite out of your teacup plate. Ichinose said
Yes. Yes i did. Henry said
Doesn't that hurt? Ichinose said
No. Henry said
Really? Ichinose said
Yes. Really. Henry said
Oh. Ichinose said
Anyway you were seeking some information of some kind...hehe! Henry said
Oh, yes. You see, I'm looking for a... Ichinose said
Before Ichinose could explain Henry noticed something in his teacup
Clean cup, clean cup! Move down! Henry said
But i haven't used my cup! Ichinose said
No time! Stella said
What? Ichinose said
Let's go. Henry said
(Clean cup clean cup.)
(Move down, move down!)
(Clean cup clean cup.)
(Move down!)
Ichinose and the other two moved down around the table and into their new seats
Okay. Wow. Ichinose said
Henry pours a huge teapot into three teacups each
Would you like a little more tea? Henry said
Well, i haven't had any yet, so i can't very well take more... Ichinose said
Stella grabs another teapot and cracks it open like an egg into Ichinose's tea
Ahh, you mean you can't very well take less! Stella said
Whoa! Ichinose said
Did you like that? Stella said
Yeah. Ichinose said
Good. Stella said
Yes! You can always take more than nothing! Henry said
Henry then pours a lot of sugar into Ichinose's tea
But i only meant that... Ichinose said
And now, my dear, something seems to be troubling you. Henry said
Something is troubling me actually. Ichinose said
Knew it. Won't you tell us all about it? Henry said
Start at the beginning. Stella said
Really? Ichinose said
Yes, yes! And when you come to the end...hehehe...stop! See? Henry said
Well, it all started while i was sitting on the riverbank with Dinah. Ichinose said
Very interesting but...who's Dinah? Stella said
Dinah is my cat. Ichinose said
Very interesting. Stella said
Yeah. You see... Ichinose said
Cat? Bart said
Bart then ran around the table while yelling cat
Oh no. Henry said
Not again. Stella said
We have to stop him. Henry said
Yeah. Stella said
Henry and Stella got on the table and chased after Bart while spilling some teacups and pots along the way before they caught him and held him down
Calm down. Henry said
There's no cat. Stella said
No cat. Henry said
No cat at all. Stella said
Cat. Cat. Cat. Bart said
This isn't good. Henry said
Yeah no kidding. Stella said
Hey special guest? Henry said
Yeah? Ichinose said
Could you get some jam? Henry said
Jam? Ichinose said
Yeah. Henry said
Why? Ichinose said
It'll calm him down. Henry said
What? Ichinose said
Just go and get it. Henry said
Okay. Ichinose said
Give the jam! Quickly! Give the jam! Stella said
Ichinose looked around and saw the pot of jam as she grabbed it
I got it. Ichinose said
Good now hurry. Henry said
Okay. Ichinose said
On his nose! Put it on his nose! Stella said
On his nose, on his nose! Henry said
Ichinose then carefully puts the jam on Bart's nose calming him down
Where's the cat... Bart said
Is it working? Ichinose said
Yes. It's working. Henry said
It's really working. Stella said
Good. Ichinose said
After putting the jam on Bart's nose he calmed down and went back into his teapot
Wow. Ichinose said
Oh. Oh, my goodness! Those are the things that upset me! Henry said
See all the trouble you've started? Stella said
I didn't think... Ichinose said
Ah, but that's the point! If you don't think, you shouldn't talk! Stella said
Before Ichinose could explain Henry looked at her teacup and realized something again
Clean cup! Clean cup! Henry said
What? Ichinose said
Move down, move down, move down! Henry said
But i still haven't used... Ichinose said
(Move down.)
(Move down.)
(Move down.)
(Move down.)
Ichinose and the other two moved down around the table again and into their new seats
This is crazy. Ichinose said
And now my dear, as you were saying? Henry said
Huh? Ichinose said
You were telling us your story. Henry said
Oh, yeah. I was sitting on the riverbank with uh...you know who... Ichinose said
I do, hehehe? Henry said
Tell us. Stella said
I mean my C–A–T... Ichinose said
Tea? Henry said
Stella cut a teacup in half and held it in her hand for the tea
Just half a cup if you don't mind. Stella said
Henry pours the tea into Stella's half teacup from the teapot
Whoa. Ichinose said
Come, come my dear. hehehe! Don't you care for tea? Henry said
Why i'm very fond of tea, but... Ichinose said
If you don't care for tea, you could at least make polite conversation! Stella said
Well, i've been trying to ask you... Ichinose said
I have an excellent idea! Stella said
Huh? Ichinose said
What is it, Stella? Henry said
Let's change the subject! Stella said
Stella hits Henry on the hand with a hammer so hard that Henry talks out of his hat
Why is a raven like a writing desk? Henry said
Riddles? Ichinose said
Yup. Henry said
That's right. Stella said
Okay, let me see now. Why is a raven like a writing desk? Ichinose said
I beg your pardon? Henry said
Why is a raven like a writing desk? Ichinose said
Why is a what? Henry said
Did she just say what i think she just said? Stella said
Yes. She did. Henry said
Careful! She's stark raving mad! Stella said
But...but it's your silly riddle! Ichinose said
No, it isn't. Stella said
You just said... Ichinose said
Very good? Henry said
How about a nice cup of tea? Stella said
Ichinose then slammed her hand on the table and was upset
A nice cup of tea, indeed! Well, i'm sorry, but i just haven't the time! Ichinose said
Ichinose had enough and was about to leave when something else happened
The time? Henry said
The time, the time! Who's got the time? Stella said
Why are you guys asking for the time? Ichinose said
You'll see. Stella said
Huh? Ichinose said
Suddenly out of nowhere the white rabbit shows up at the tea party
No, no, no, no! No time, no time, no time! Hello, goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! Gene said
Ichinose tried to figure out who else came in and saw the white rabbit
The white rabbit! Ichinose said
Oh, i'm so late! I'm so very very late! Gene said
Before Gene could leave again he was by the throat of his watch by someone
Well, no wonder you're late! Why, this clock is exactly two days slow! Henry said
Two days slow? Gene said
Of course, you're late. Hahaha! My goodness.
Henry dips Gene's watch into the teapot before slamming it
We'll have to look into this. Henry said
Gene's watch is two days slow but what does that mean and what is Henry going to do with Gene's watch stay tuned
