>SEA:  "Roll call!  Spider?"

>Spider:  "Ready, when you are, SEA."

>SEA:  "Linda?"

>Linda:  "Just give the word."

>SEA:  "Robbie?"

>silence

>SEA:  "Robbie!"

>more silence

>SEA:  "Ahem, Robbie!!!!"

>Robbie:  "I'm fixin' Carl's satellite."

   "Oh ! Robbies' taking care of it. I knew our suits couldn't get
  to it at all." DJ.

>SEA:  "We're waiting on you!"

>Robbie:  "Okay, okay, okay"

>SEA:  "Dreamy, are you ready for more FUN?"

>DJ:  (Looking nervously at SEA, who has obviously been conspiring

    { Yup, ole Nervous Norvus. Thats me ! }

>with his staff)  "Uhm...yeah...okay" <blush>

>Still holding hands, SEA and DJ make one more loop around the
>universe leapfrogging over satellites, then SEA says "Okay,
>guys...let's do it."

>Spider arrives and gently envelops the pair and begins a descent back
>to the Meadow.  Mozart can be heard quietly in the background.

>DJ:  "Is that Eine Kleine Nachtmusik?"

   { Ah, a string choir Serenade ! Magnificient ! Would make good
        introspective skating or picnic music. }

>Spider lands gently in the Meadow and drives to a semi-private
>picnic spot.  The doors open and allow DJ and SEA to step out.

>Robbie:  "Boss, I'm doin' Bar-bee-que!"

>SEA:  "Shhhh....not now!"

>DJ:  "What are you guys up to now?"

>He sees Linda moving around in the background, under the trees.
>Robbie is doing something, but it's not clear that it's really
>barbecue...it could be some sort of modern art for all anyone
>can tell.                            ^^^^^- that I believe !

>DJ looks down and notices that his and SEA's space suits and
>roller skates have been exchanged for comfy summer picnic
>clothes.

>Linda rolls up:  "All ready, SEA"
>Robbie:  "Now can I do Bar-bee-que?"
>Spider:  "Yell when you need me."  and the holographic car disappears.

>SEA takes DJ's hand and leads him down the path, under the willow
>trees.  Linda has laid out a feast of a summer picnic.  Fresh
>strawberries, grapes, nectarines, peaches, cheese, crackers,
>potato salad, champagne (can you guess what kind, DJ?) and
>yes, over in the shadows is Robbie "doing Bar-bee-cue"....

   { Pink Champagne ? Dom Perignone{sp} ? }


>As the two settle in to share the feast and recover from their
>satellite hopping, they notice two small furry creatures off
>in the distance.  One keeps falling down.

>Giggling, SEA says, "Oh look, it must be Ramda the roly-poly bear and
>Koally."

>Koally walks straight up to Dreamy Jim, gives him the once over,
>nods to SEA, takes Ramda's paw and continues on past.  DJ gives
>SEA a quizzical look...

>SEA:  "Let's put it this way,  he doesn't disapprove!"

 <DJ bows to Koally and Ramda.> <a sparkle is seen in DJ's eyes,
                                  a sparkle of happines, of course.>

>Off in the distance, the sun sparkles against the water of the
>water slide and the laughter of their friends can be heard.
>There go Didi and Lord Galdrin, Gryphon, ArchTeryx, Nick, kitten,
>Nathan (the hero that helped Didi with her clothes in that nasty
>"Ramda incident") and many others enjoying themselves in the
>camraderie of the Place.

>SEA:  "A toast?"

>DJ:  "I know what you're going to say!"

>SEA:  "To friends near and far!!"

   "To friends near and far!!!" DJ.

>Clinking their glasses first, champagne is downed and the glasses
>tossed in the general direction of Mike's fireplace.  They disappear
>and a few seconds later, the sound of breaking glass can be heard.

  <as the strings play on.>

DJ takes a deep breath of the clean air, and says, "All ends well
 as ends better than it started. Fortune smiles on friends and
 on the bright future !"

                         For I have traveled the wide seas over,
                         storms at sea are rough, land can wiggle
                         in an earthquake, but True Friends are
                         always the bestest that can ever be !
                         The Road of Life can be rocky, but friends
                         help smooth out the bumps.
