*an animated penguin walks up to Caper Plip with her barley water with grey rocks in it. Penguin stands by ping pong table waiting to be noticed and finish his job of delivering the weird drink to the tennis obsessed goddess*

*Caper Plip scoops up the ping-pong ball and drops it over the net, so it bounces once, and looks like it'll bounce again...*

*Apollo reaches high into the air and smashes the ball onto the far side of the table*
